ENGLISH
THE UNIT IS INTENDED FOR HOUSEHOLD USAGE ONLY
INSTRUCTIONS ON MICROWAVE OVEN GROUNDING
The unit should be securely grounded. In case of any inner short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric
shock, because the current will pass through the ground wire. The power cord used in the microwave oven has a
grounding wire and a plug with a grounding contact.
The plug should be connected to a mains outlet with a grounding contact.
Warning:
•
Connecting a plug with a grounding contact to a socket with no grounding contact can lead to the risk of elec-
tric shock.
•
Consult a qualified electrician if the oven grounding instructions are not clear to you or if you are not sure that
the unit is securely grounded.
•
To prevent tangling of the power cord, the microwave oven is equipped with a short power cord.
•
If it is necessary to use an extension cord, use only a 3-wire extension cord with a grounding contact on the plug
and in the socket.
•
Wire section marking of the microwave oven cord and of the extension cord should match.
•
The extension cord should not hang from the edges of the table, where children can pull it and it should be placed
in such way that excludes possibility of stepping on it.
GENERAL RULES OF COOKING PRODUCTS IN MICROWAVE OVENS
WARNING: Open hermetic or vacuum food package before cooking or warming the food in the microwave
oven. Otherwise the pressure that will build up inside the package can burst it.
•
Shell eggs and whole hard-boiled eggs should not be heated in the microwave oven since they may explode due
to increase of inner pressure.
•
Pierce pithy products (such as potatoes, vegetable marrows or apples) in several points before cooking.
•
Feeding bottles and baby food jars should be placed in the oven without lids or teats. The contents should be
stirred or shaken periodically. The contents’ temperature should be checked before feeding to avoid scalding.
•
When cooking bacon, do not put it directly on the glass rotary bottom plate, local overheating of the bottom plate
can lead to its cracking.
•
Use only microwave-safe cookware; put it on the glass bottom plate.
•
For even heating of products, put thicker slices near the edges of the cookware.
•
Watch the cooking time. Set the shortest cooking time, it can be increased if necessary.
•
Do not exceed the cooking time, it can lead to inflammation of the products.
•
Cook products under a microwave-safe lid. The lid prevents juice or fat splattering and provides even cooking of
food. Do not fry products in the microwave oven without using special cookware and protective lid.
•
To speed up the cooking process, turn over fast-food products (e.g. hamburgers) once. Large pieces of meat
must be turned over at least twice during cooking.
•
Stir the food during cooking both from top to bottom and from the center of the dish to the outside.
RECOMMENDATIONS ON CHOOSING COOKWARE
Use only microwave-safe cookware for this unit.
•
The ideal material for microwave-safe cookware should be “transparent” for microwaves, as this allows micro-
wave energy to pass through and heat the food.
•
Microwaves can not go through metal; that is why never use metal cookware or plates with metal finishing for
cooking in the microwave oven.
•
Do not place objects made of recycled paper in the microwave oven, as they may contain small metal fragments
which may cause package ignition.
•
Round and oval cookware better suits for usage in microwave ovens, than rectangular cookware.
•
Do not use chopped or cracked cookware.
COOKWARE TESTING BEFORE USING IT IN THE MICROWAVE OVEN
•
Put the cookware that you want to test (for instance, a plate) into the cavity; place a glass with cold water on it.
•
Switch the microwave oven on at the maximal power and set the operation time for no longer than 1 minute.
•
Carefully touch the test cookware. If it is hot, and the water in the glass is cold, do not use this cookware for cook-
ing in the microwave oven.
•
Avoid exceeding the maximum testing time of 1 minute.
