SEVERIN MW 7776 Mode D'emploi page 23

∙ Special food thermometers (as used in conventional baking ovens) are not suitable
for use with microwave ovens.
Before using for the first time
∙ After unpacking and every time before connecting the unit to the power supply,
check the unit and its power cord carefully for any signs of damage.
∙ Caution: Ensure that the door, including the inspection window, door seals and
locks, are not damaged or bent and that it closes firmly against the support. This
is important to ensure that no microwave energy is allowed to escape during
operation. For the same reason, the entire casing as well as the inside of the oven
must be carefully checked.
Should the unit show any signs of damage, it must not be used under any
circumstances until it has been repaired by a qualified technician.
∙ Remove any exterior and interior packaging materials, and any stickers found. All these materials are suitable for
recycling.
∙ Do not remove the protective film covering the inside of the door, nor the turntable/ drive unit or the grey-brown protective
cover (6) next to the light on the right of the interior.
∙ Caution: Keep any packaging materials well away from children – such materials are a potential source of danger, e.g. of
suffocation.
∙ Before the appliance is used for the first time, or after extended periods of non-use, it should be thoroughly cleaned as
described in the section Cleaning.
∙ Insert the roller ring/drive unit and the glass turntable into the unit.
∙ Do not operate the appliance without the roller ring/drive unit and glass turntable properly fitted.
∙ Before the microwave appliance is used for the first time, let it heat up on the grill setting (without the microwave function
activated) for approximately 10 minutes. This will remove the smell typically encountered when first switching on a grill. A
little smoke may be emitted; this is quite normal, but ensure there is sufficient ventilation.
∙ This appliance is a group 2 class B ISM device. 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.
Note: Do not switch the unit on unless the food to be heated or cooked has been placed inside the oven. Operating
the appliance empty could result in damage to the unit.
The microwave function (Group II in compliance with EN 55011)
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. The heat is generated gradually inside the food. Any utensils, container or plates used are heated up only indirectly
as a result of the food temperature.
∙ 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). Ensure a minimum distance of 2.5 cm between the aluminium foil and the interior walls of the
oven.
Always use suitable kitchen utensils
