User manual SEVERIN MW 7851

[. . . ] 15 ╞ Microwave oven Dear Customer, Before using the microwave oven, please read the following instructions carefully and keep this manual for future reference. The appliance must only be used by persons familiar with these instructions. Therefore, do not place any objects on the unit, and make sure that the following minimum distances from any wall or other object are maintained: One side: 7. The unit must not be installed inside a cupboard; when positioning the unit, also ensure that it is not placed directly underneath a shelf or any other similar object. [. . . ] If repairs are needed, please send the appliance to one of our customer service departments. Group 2 contains all ISM devices (industrial, scientific, medical) generating radio frequency energy and/or using radio frequency energy in the form of electro-magnetic radiation to process materials; it also comprises spark erosion devices. Class B specifies devices designed for domestic use, or any similar devices integrated in the general power grid supplying domestic units. The microwave function (Group II in compliance with EN 55011:1998+A1+A2) Electromagnetic energy is generated inside the unit, causing the molecules in the food (mainly water molecules) to oscillate and subsequently causing the food to become hot. Food with high water content will therefore heat up faster than relatively dry food. Any utensils, container or plates used are heated up only indirectly as a result of the food temperature. Always use suitable kitchen utensils: Do not place the food directly onto the glass turntable; always use a suitable plate or cooking container. Make sure that the container does not protrude over the rim of the glass turntable. Metal objects are to be avoided since microwaves are reflected from metal surfaces and might not reach the food to be cooked. Any metal in the oven could also cause sparks, resulting in possible damage to the unit. As a general rule, cutlery or metal containers must not be used in the microwave oven. Some food wrappings contain aluminium foil or wires underneath a layer of paper and are therefore also unsuitable for use with microwave appliances. Should the use of aluminium foil be recommended in a recipe, ensure that the food is tightly wrapped in the aluminium foil (avoiding any air blisters). Always make sure that the cooking container or plate used does not contain any metal decoration such as a gold rim or colour containing metal particles. Always make sure that no parts of the cooking containers used are hollow (e. Porous materials may have absorbed water during cleaning and are again not suitable. Cooking containers or utensils made of ‘Melamine’ plastic material absorb energy and are also unsuitable. - Using the microwave function - Containers made from heat-resistant glass or porcelain are particularly suitable for use in microwave appliances. - Plastic is suitable only if it is heat-resistant up to at least 180° C. Should be punctured to be able to release any high pressure during cooking. Plastic cooking containers especially designed for use with microwave ovens are available at 20 most kitchenware dealers. - Using the grill function - With this function, any heat-resistant containers or plates suitable for conventional ovens may be used, though not any plastic items. [. . . ] Turn the rotary control to select the required microwave cooking time. Note: The defrost programme, the automatic cooking programmes and the quick-programme are not suitable for multiple programming. Hint: This function is especially helpful when using the microwave to cook food at different power settings. While a higher power setting is selected initially, the power can be reduced at a later stage in order to keep the food hot, and to ensure that the heat is evenly distributed when the food is already done.
