SEVERIN MW 7898 Mode D'emploi page 18

∙ Should any smoke be noticed during operation, keep the door closed to inhibit or
smother any flames. Switch the unit off immediately and remove the plug from the
wall socket.
∙ To prevent danger of burns, a suitable oven-cloth must always be used when
removing food items from the oven, since the utensils and cooking containers
heat up not only during use of the grill or combination functions, but also during
microwave operation.
∙ 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 viewing window and door 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. 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 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.
∙ 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.
