Opening and closing the door:
• To open the oven door, press the door opening
button.
• The oven lamp will light when the door is open.
• Close the door firmly and the lamp will go out.
Always operate the oven with the turntable and support
fitted correctly, see page 2. This promotes thorough
even cooking.
• A badly fitted turntable may rattle, may not rotate 
properly and damage the oven.
• The turntable rotates clockwise or counter-clockwise.
The rotary direction may change each time you start
the oven. This does not affect cooking performance.
HOW TO OPERATE THE OVEN
Water, sugar and fat in food absorb microwaves and
causes their molecules to vibrate. This creates heat by
friction, in the same way your hands get warm when
you rub them together.  
The outer areas of  food are heated by microwave
energy and the remaining portions by conduction.  It is
important to turnrearrange or stir food to ensure
even heating.  Where recommended, allow food to
stand, this is not optional but is necessary to ensure
thorough cooking. It is particularly important for dense
food, such as joints of meat.
NOTES:
• Microwaves pass through non-metallic dishes and
utensils and heat the food inside the dishes. 
• Microwaves are reflected by metal. 
• The oven is lined with metal and has a fine metallic
mesh in the door to prevent microwave leakage.
• Metallic dishes are not suitable for microwaving. 
• See SUITABLE COOKWARE, page 31-32.
WARNING:
NOTES:
• Your oven can be programmed up to 99 minutes, 99 seconds (1h40 appears on the display). 
• When the door is opened during cooking, the cooking time on the display stops. The cooking time starts to count
down again when the door is closed and the START/AUTO MINUTE key is pressed.
• To change the cooking time, press the START key. The display will show -1MIN or +1MIN. Press the Back or
Forward keys, as desired.
