Operating The Microwave Oven - Exido 253-013 User Manual

Connecting the microwave oven
The microwave oven must be connected to a 230-volt AC
current, 50 Hz. The guarantee is not valid if it is connected to
the wrong voltage. When the oven is on, a beep is heard and
the display (7) will show "0:00".
Setting the clock
1. Press the "CLOCK/PRE-SET" button (a) to select the 12
or 24-hour clock (12H or 24H is shown in the display).
2. Press the Up or Down button (d and e) to set the hour
number, which will start to flash.
3. Press the "CLOCK/PRE-SET" button; the minute number
will start to flash.
4. Press the Up and Down buttons to set the minute number.
5. Press the "CLOCK/PRE-SET" button to complete the
task.
6. The two dots between the figures will start to flash, which
means the clock is functioning.
NB! If while setting the clock you press the "STOP/CLEAR"
button (i), the task will be interrupted and you will have to start
again from the beginning.
NB! If the clock is not set, the microwave oven's timer function
cannot be used.
Inserting the glass turntable
Before using the microwave oven, ensure the glass turntable
(4) is correctly seated on the turntable ring (5) and spindle (6).
The glass turntable must lie on top of the turntable ring in the
recess of the microwave oven base, so that the three studs on
the turntable shaft fit between those on the base of the glass
turntable.
Before using the microwave oven for the first time
The first time the microwave oven is used, a small amount of
smoke and smell may be emitted. This is due to oil residue
from manufacture and is neither abnormal nor dangerous.
Smells can be eliminated by starting the grill program and
letting it run for a few minutes. Smells and smoke should
disappear as a result. Repeat the procedure if this is not the
case.

OPERATING THE MICROWAVE OVEN

Basic operation
• Place the food to be cooked in the microwave oven and
close the door. Select cooking function as described

cooking time set has elapsed, the oven will switch off
automatically. The oven will beep 5 times and the display
will return to showing the clock.
• Cooking can be temporarily interrupted at any time by
pressing the "STOP/CLEAR" button once. If you press the
button twice, the cooking time and the program selected
will be cancelled.
• Cooking can also be temporarily interrupted by opening
the door (practical if the food needs turning).

the numbers in the display will change faster.
• During cooking you can always use the "MICROWAVE"
(g) or "CONVECTION/GRILL/COMBI" (f) buttons to check
the current microwave power or cooking program. You
can also use the "CLOCK/PRE-SET" button to check the
current time.
