READ CAREFULLY AND KEEP FOR FUTURE REFERENCE

• The built-in safety interlock switches prevent the

microwave oven from operating when the door is

open.

• Do not tamper with them, or attempt to operate

the oven with the door open as open door

operation can result in exposure to microwave

energy.

• Do not allow food spills or cleaner residue to

accumulate on door sealing surfaces. See the

Cleaning and Care section for cleaning

instructions.

• It is particularly important that the oven door

closes properly and that there is no damage to

the: (1) door (warped), (2) hinges and latches

(broken or insecure), (3) door seals and sealing

surface.

 WARNING : If the door,

hinges/latches or door seals are damaged,

the microwave must not be operated until

it has been repaired by a authorized

service person.

 WARNING : It is hazardous for

anyone except factory trained service

personnel to service or make adjustments

to this oven. Contact your nearest

authorised service agent if service should

be required.

• Do not remove the outer case, door or control

panel at any time. Doing so may cause exposure

to extremely high voltage.

• Install or locate this oven only in accordance with

‘installation instructions’ found in this manual.

• Use the appliance for its intended use as

described in this manual. Do not use corrosive

chemicals in this appliance. This type of oven is

specifically designed to heat, cook, or defrost

food. It is not designed for industrial or laboratory

use neither for commercial use as this will

invalidate the guarantee.

• Do not operate the oven empty. If food or water is

not present to absorb the microwave energy, the

magnetron tube can be damaged.

• Do not store this appliance outdoors. Do not use

this product near water.

• Do not attempt to dry clothing or newspapers in

the microwave oven. These items can ignite.

• Do not use the cavity for storage purposes. Do

not leave paper products, cooking utensils, or

food in the cavity when not in use.

• The temperature of accessible surfaces may be

high when the appliance is operating.

 WARNING : If smoke is observed,

switch off or unplug the appliance and

keep the door closed in order to stifle any

flames. Never use water.

 WARNING : Only allow children or

infirm persons to use the microwave,

without supervision, when adequate

instructions have been given so that the

child or infirm person is able to use the

microwave in a safe way and understand

the hazards of improper use.

Utensil safety

• Only use utensils that are suitable for use in a

microwave oven.

• Most glass, glass ceramic and heat-resistant

glass-ware utensils are excellent for use in the

micro-wave oven. Although microwave energy will

not heat most glass and ceramic items, these

utensils can become hot as heat transfers from

the food to the container. The use of oven gloves

to remove dishes is recommended.

Testing suitability of cookware

• Utensils should be checked to ensure they are

suitable for use in Microwave Ovens.

• Place the cookware in the microwave along with a

glass half full of water. Heat on (800W) (100%) for

one minute. If the cookware feels hot, you should

not use it. If it is just slightly warm, you can use it

for reheating but not for cooking. If the dish is

room temperature, it is suitable for microwave

cooking.

Important Safety instructions.

EMS2040



• Paper napkins, wax paper, paper towels, plates,

cups, cartons, freezer wrap and cardboard are

great convenience utensils. Always be sure

containers are filled with food to absorb energy

and thus avoid the possibility of overheating or

ignition.

• Many plastic dishes, cups, freezer containers and

plastic wraps may be used in the microwave

oven. Follow manufacturer’s instructions when

using plastics in the oven. Avoid using plastic

utensils with foods that have high fat or sugar

content since these foods reach high

temperatures and could melt some plastics.

• Do not leave oven unattended, and look at it from

time to time when heating or cooking food in

plastic, paper or other combustible containers.

• Metal utensils and utensils with metallic trim

should not be used in the microwave oven, unless

specifically recommended for microwave use.

• Containers with restricted openings, such as

bottles, should not be used for microwave

cooking.

• Use caution when removing a lid or cover from a

dish to avoid steam burns.

Foil containers

Shallow foil containers may safely be used to reheat

foods in your microwave oven providing the following

rules are observed:

1. Foil containers should not be more than 3 cms

(1 1/4”) deep.

2. Foil lids must not be used.

3. The foil containers must be at least two-thirds full

of food. Empty containers must never be used.

4. Foil containers should be used singly in the

microwave oven and should not be allowed to

touch the sides. If your oven has a metal turntable

or cooking rack, the foil container should be

placed on an upturned oven-proof plate.

5. Foil containers should never be re-used in the

microwave oven.

6. If the microwave oven has been in use for 15

minutes or more, allow it to cool before using it

again.

7. The container and turntable may become hot

during use, take great care when removing either

from the oven. It is advisable to use an oven cloth

or glove when doing so.

8. Remember when using an aluminium foil

container that the reheating or cooking times may

be longer than you are used to, always ensure

that the food is piping hot before serving.

Food safety

• Do not heat food in a can in the microwave oven.

Always remove the food to a suitable container.

• Deep fat frying should not be done in the

microwave oven, because the fat temperature

cannot be controlled, hazardous situations can

result.

• Popcorn may be prepared in the microwave oven,

but only in special packages or utensils designed

specifically for this purpose. This cooking

operation should never be unattended.

• Pierce foods with non-porous skins or

membranes to prevent steam build-up and

bursting. Apples, potatoes, chicken livers, and

egg yolks are examples of items that should be

pierced.

• The contents of feeding bottles and baby food jars

are to be stirred or shaken and the temperature is

to be checked before consumption, in order to

avoid burns.

 WARNING : Liquids or other foods

must not be heated in sealed containers

since they are liable to explode.

 WARNING : Microwave heating of

beverages can result in delayed eruptive

boiling, therefore care must be taken when

handling the container.

 WARNING : When heating liquids,

e.g. soups, sauces and beverages in your

microwave oven, overheating the liquid

beyond boiling point can occur without

evidence of bubbling. This could result in a

sudden boil over of the hot liquid. To

prevent this possibility the following steps

should be taken:

EMS2040



English

7

1. Avoid using straight-sided containers with narrow

necks.

2. Do not overheat.

3. Stir the liquid before placing the container in the

oven and again halfway through the heating time.

4. After heating, allow to stand in the oven for a

short time, stirring again before carefully removing

the container.

 WARNING : Some products such as

whole eggs and sealed containers – for

example, closed glass jars – may explode

and should not be heated in this oven.

Occasionally, poached eggs may explode

during cooking. Always pierce the yolk,

then cover and allow the standing time of

one minute before removing cover.

 It is quite normal for steam to be emitted

around the door, or for misting to occur on the

door, or even for water droplets to appear

below the door during the cooking cycle. This

is merely condensation from the heat of the

food and does not affect the safety of your

oven. The door is not intended to seal

the oven cavity completely.

• Do not force the turntable to rotate by hand. This

may cause malfunctioning.

• Arcing in the oven during microwave operation

usually occurs from use of metallic utensils.

Continuous arcing, however, can damage the

unit. Stop the programme and check the utensil.

• Care should be taken not to obstruct any air vents

located on the top, rear, side and bottom of the

oven.

 WARNING : Do not use this oven for

commercial purposes.This oven is made

for domestic use only.

Safety instructions when

cooking with grill, combination modes.

1. The glass viewing window may break if water is

spilled on it during grill cooking.

2. Be sure to use an oven glove when loading and

unloading the oven. Containers get very hot in the

oven, so be careful not to burn yourself. The turn-

table and metal rack also get very hot so be sure

to use an oven glove when handling them.

3. Do not touch the inner or outer viewing window

with metal components when loading or unloading

the oven. The inside of the door and oven get

very hot so take care when attending food in the

oven.

4. Do not put the turntable or containers in cold

water or try to cool them quickly after use.

5. Do not place items on top of the cabinet. The top

of the cabinet gets very hot, so anything placed

on it may be damaged by the heat.

6. Preheat your oven only when using the Grill,

never when using microwave or combination

modes (Microwave and Grill)

 WARNING : When the appliance is

used in combination mode, Children

should only use the oven under adult

supervision due to the temperature

generated.

Keep these instructions!

EMS2040



1. Remove any promotion label from the door.

2. The oven should be installed on a flat, level

surface. The surface must be strong enough to

safely bear the weight (13.5 kg) of the oven, and

the contents. To avoid the possibility of causing

vibration or noise the oven must be in a stable

position.

3. Keep the oven away from heat and water.

Exposure to heat and water can lower oven

efficiency and lead to malfunctioning, so be sure to

install the oven away from heat and water sources.

4. Do not block air vents on the top and the sides of

the cabinet and also do not place any articles on

the top of the oven. If air vents are blocked during

operation, the oven may overheat, and this may

lead to malfunctioning. Hot air escapes from the

vents, so be sure not to obstruct it or let curtains

come between the oven and the rear wall.

5. Place the oven as far away from radios and TV’s

as possible. This oven does conform to EEC

requirements of radio interference suppression, but

some interference may occur if it is placed too

close to a radio or TV, so keep them as far apart

as possible.

6. If positioned in a corner, leave a gap of at least

10 cm from the walls and 10 cm above the

microwave.

IMPORTANT! The oven can be placed almost

anywhere in the kitchen. Make sure the oven is

placed on a flat, level surface and that vents as

well as the surface underneath the oven are not

blocked (for sufficient ventilation).

Connecting to the mains

The oven is delivered with the power cord and a plug

for 230V, 50Hz, earthed socket outlet.

Earth protection minimises the risks should a short

circuit occur. Check to ensure the voltage of the oven

matches the supply.

N.B. If the oven is connected to the socket via an

extension cord, make sure the cord is earthed.

 This appliance must not be used on a non-

earth protected power supply. Contact an

electrician if you are uncertain regarding

electrical connection of the oven or

provision of earth protection of the

supply.

 This appliance must be earthed. If this

appliance is fitted with a non-rewireable

plug for which your socket is unsuitable, it

must be replaced by the manufacturer, its

service agent or similarly qualified persons

in order to avoid a hazard.

 If the supply cord is damaged, it must be

replaced by the manufacturer, its service

agent or similarly qualified persons in

order to avoid a hazard.

Defrosting Tips

1. It is better to underestimate defrosting time if you are unsure. Food will continue to defrost during the

standing time.

2. Separate food as soon as possible.

3. Turn large items, e.g. joints, halfway through the defrosting time.

4. Remove any thawed food as soon as possible.

5. Remove or open any packaging before defrosting.

6. Place food in a larger container than that which it was frozen in, this will allow for easy stirring.

7. Begin thawing poultry, breast side down and turn over halfway through defrosting time or at pause.

Delicate areas such as wing tips can be shielded with small pieces of smooth foil.

Standing time is very important, particularly for large, dense foods which cannot be stirred to ensure that the

centre is completely defrosted before cooking.
