This document provides comprehensive operating instructions for the Hansa AMM20BEIH microwave oven, a household appliance designed for heating and cooking food. It emphasizes safety, proper usage, and maintenance to ensure efficient and long-lasting operation.
The microwave oven is equipped with a modern electronic programmer, allowing users to precisely adjust cooking and reheating parameters. Before initial use, it is crucial to remove all packaging materials and components, both inside and outside the oven. Users should also inspect the oven for any damage, such as dents or door misalignment, and ensure that any protective film on the cabinet surface is removed. The light brown mica cover bolted into the recess, which shields the microwave magnetron, must not be removed.
Setting the current time is the first step after plugging in the appliance. The display will show "00:00," and users can adjust the hour and minute digits using the provided controls. It is essential to store the current time setting within five minutes, otherwise, the previous setting will be restored, and some oven functions may not be available.
For heating food, the process involves selecting the desired microwave power level and setting the cooking time. The oven offers various power levels, indicated by symbols like "P100" for 100% power, "P80" for 80%, and so on. The cooking time can be adjusted with different resolutions depending on the duration, ranging from 5 seconds for shorter periods to 5 minutes for longer ones.
The appliance also features a grilling function, which should only be used with the special grilling rack provided. To activate this function, users select the grill option (indicated by a "G" symbol), confirm, and then set the grilling time. For combined heating, the oven allows for a mix of grill and microwave cooking, with preset ratios like "C-1" (55% microwave, 45% grill) and "C-2" (36% microwave, 64% grill). During grilling, an acoustic signal will sound halfway through the cooking time, prompting the user to turn the food for better results. If the food is not turned, the appliance will continue operating until the set time elapses.
A "Quick Start" feature allows for rapid cooking at maximum power, with preset cooking times that can be added in 30-second increments up to 95 minutes. Defrosting can be done either by weight ("dEF1") or by time ("dEF2"). For defrosting by weight, users adjust the food's weight within a range of 100-2000g. For defrosting by time, users set the desired duration.
Multi-stage cooking is another advanced feature, allowing users to set up to three power levels for a single cooking program. If defrosting is part of a multi-step program, it must be set first. The appliance will beep after each program step. However, the "Auto Menu" cannot be used in multi-step cooking. The oven also supports a "Delayed Start" function, where users can set a specific time for cooking to begin, after first setting the current time and the desired cooking program. Defrosting cannot be combined with a delayed start.
Preset programs, accessible via the "Auto Menu," simplify cooking for various food types and weights, such as fish, vegetables, meat, pasta, potato, pizza, and soup. Users select the desired function (e.g., "A-3" for fish), confirm, set the weight, and start the program. The microwave will beep once cooking is finished.
The "Keeping Food Warm" function allows the oven to maintain food at a warm temperature for a specified weight (200g, 400g, or 600g). For safety, a "Child Lock" feature can be activated or deactivated by pressing a specific button for about 3 seconds, accompanied by a long beep. Information functions allow users to check the current power level, delayed start time, or current time during cooking.
Maintenance is crucial for the appliance's longevity and safe operation. Before cleaning, the oven must be disconnected from the power source. The inside of the oven should be cleaned with a lightly moistened cloth after each use, and accessories should be washed with soap and water. The door frame, gasket, and adjacent parts require thorough cleaning with a damp cloth. Abrasive cleaners or sharp metal washers should not be used on the glass door to prevent scratches. For cleaning the inner cavity, a common method involves placing half a lemon in a bowl with 300 ml of water and running the microwave at 100% power for 10 minutes, followed by wiping the inside with a soft, dry cloth.
The manual also addresses troubleshooting common issues, such as the oven not starting, not heating, or making noise, and provides solutions like checking the power cord, circuit breaker, or door closure. It also explains normal occurrences like dimmed oven lighting during low microwave power or condensation forming during cooking.
