Important Safety instructions
¾ Do not use the oven for any reason other than preparing food, such as for drying
clothes, paper or any other non-food items, or for sterilizing purposes.
¾ Do not use the oven when it is empty. This could damage the oven.
¾ Do not store anything in the oven, such as papers, cookbooks and so on.
¾ Do not cook any food surrounded by a membrane, such as egg yolks, potatoes,
chicken livers, ready meals and so on without piercing them several times with a
fork.
¾ Eggs in their shell and whole hard-boiled eggs should not be heated in microwave
ovens since they may explode, even after microwave heating has ended
¾ Never put any objects into the openings on the outer case.
¾ Never remove parts from the oven such as the feet, screws and so on.
¾ You should use microwave utensils only in line with these instructions.
¾ Do not try to deep-fry foods in this oven.
¾ When heating food in plastic or paper containers, keep an eye on the oven due to the
possibility of ignition
¾ Heat from the contents of a container may be transmitted to the container itself, so
please be careful when removing it from the oven. Please remember that the food or
liquid inside will be releasing some steam of will be spitting. Never cover any
container fully, always leave a gap for the steam to escape.
¾ Microwave heating of beverages can result in delayed eruptive boiling, Therefore
care must be taken when handling the container.
¾ Cooking utensils may become hot because of heat transferred from the heated food.
This is especially true if plastic wrap has been covering the top and handles of the
utensil. You may need oven gloves to handle the utensil.
¾ The contents of feeding bottles and baby food jars shall be stirred or shaken and the
temperature checked before consumption, in order to avoid burns.
¾ Always test the temperature of cooked food, never eat or drink food or liquid straight
from the oven, allow it to stand for a few minutes and stir to distribute the heat evenly.
¾ Food containing a mixture of fat and water (for example, stock) should stand for 30 to
60 seconds in the oven after it has been turned off. This is to allow the mixture to
settle and to prevent it from bubbling when a spoon is placed in it, or a stock cube is
added.
¾ When heating or cooking food or liquid, remember that there are certain foods (such
as Christmas puddings, jam and mincemeat) which heat up very quickly.
¾ When heating or cooking food that contain a lot of fat or sugar, do not use plastic
containers.
¾ Always have the glass tray and turntable support in place when using the oven.
¾ Do not cook food directly on the glass tray. Put food on a suitable plate or in a bowl
before putting it in the oven.
¾ Keep the waveguide cover clean at all times. Wipe the oven interior with a soft damp
cloth after each use. If you leave grease or fat anywhere in the cavity it may overheat,
smoke or even catch fire when next using the oven.
To reduce the risk of fire in the oven cavity:
z Do not overcook food
z Do not leave the microwave unattended while you are using it
z Remove wire twist-ties from bags before outing the bag in the oven.
z If materials inside the oven catch fire, keep the oven door closed, turn the oven off at
the wall switch, or shut the power off at the fuse or circuit-breaker panel
WARNING: this oven must be positioned so that the plug is accessible and the plug
socket is within easy reach of the power cord.
WARNING: children should not use this microwave oven.
This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced
physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless
they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a
person responsible for their safety.
Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
WARNING: It is hazardous for anyone other than a trained person to carry out any
service or repair operation which involves the removal of any cover which gives
protection against exposure to microwave energy.
WARNING: if the door or door seals are damaged, the oven must not be operated until it
has been repaired by a competent person. The door seals are located around the
window on the inside of the door. These seals are not airtight, although no microwaves
can be released, it is normal for small amounts of air or steam to escape when the oven
is in use.
Microwave oven Installation
1. Select a level surface that provides enough space for the outlet vents.
2. A minimum clearance of 3 inches (7.5cm) is required between the oven and any
adjacent walls. One side must be open. Leave a minimum clearance of 12 inches
(30cm) above the oven.
3. Place the oven as far away from radios and TV’s as possible. Using the oven may
cause interference with the reception.
4. Plug the oven into a suitable 13 amp mains socket, make sure the voltage is the
same as the rating label (do not use extension cables or mains socket adaptors).
Warning: do not install the oven over a cooker or other heat producing appliance. This
will damage the oven.
Warning: liquids and other foods must not be heated in sealed containers as they are
liable to explode.

Cleaning and care
Before you clean the microwave oven, turn it off and unplug it.
Keep the inside of the oven clean. When food or liquids stick to the oven walls,
wipe with a damp cloth. We recommend that you do not use harsh detergent
or abrasives.
On the right hand side wall of the cavity s the wave guide cover, microwaves
are passed through this to enable your food to cook. It is important that this
wave guide cover is kept clean at all times. To do this wipe with mid detergent
and water, then dry.
You should clean the outside of the oven with a damp cloth and polish dry with
a soft dry cloth. Don’t allow water to seep into the ventilation openings.
Wipe the door and window on both sides, the door seals and adjacent parts
frequently with a damp cloth to remove any spills or spatters. Do not use
abrasive cleaner.
Do not allow the control panel to become wet. Clean with a soft, damp cloth.
Do not use detergents, abrasives or spray-on cleaners on the control panel.
If steam builds up inside or around the outside of the oven door, wipe with a
soft cloth. This may happen when the microwave oven is used in humid
conditions.
If the inside of the oven smells, put a cup of water with the juice and skin of
one lemon in a deep microwave bowl. Microwave it for three minutes, wipe
the cavity walls thoroughly and then dry a soft cloth.
Failure to maintain the oven in a clean condition, could lead to deterioration of
the surface that could adversely affect the life of the appliance and possibly
result in a hazardous condition.
Regularly clean the turntable support and oven floor. Simply wipe the bottom
surface of the oven with mild detergents and water, then dry. You can wash
the turntable support in soapy water.
Regularly remove the glass tray to clean it, and wash in warm soapy water.
When removing the roller ring from the oven, make sure you put it back
properly.
Do not remove the waveguide cover on the inside wall of the cavity.
The oven should be cleaned regularly and any food deposits removed.
Problem solving
The microwave oven may cause interference to your radio, TV or similar equipment. If it
does, you can get rid of the interference by moving the radio, TV or equipment as far
away from your microwave oven as possible.
If the oven doesn’t work, if the display does not appear or if the display has disappeared
➢ Make sure the oven is plugged in securely. If it is not, remove the plug from the
socket, wait 10 seconds and plug it in again securely.
➢ Check the premises for a blown circuit fuse or a tripped main circuit breaker. If
these seem to be working properly, test the socket with another appliance.
If the microwave power will not work
➢ Check to see whether the timer is set.
➢ Make sure the door is securely closed. Otherwise, the microwave energy will not
flow into the oven.
Important utensil information
Do not use metal pans or dishes with metal handles.
➢
Do not use anything with a metal trim.
➢ Do not use paper covered wire twist-ties on plastic bags.
➢ Do not use melamine dishes as they contain a material which will absorb
microwave energy. This may cause the dishes to crack or burn, and will slow
down the cooking speed.
➢ Use only cookware that is approved to be used in a microwave oven.
➢ Do not cook using a container with a restricted opening, such as bottles, as they
may explode.
➢ Do not heat baby bottles with the teat left on and remove if replacing the bottle
back into the oven.
➢ Only use thermometers that are approved for microwaves ovens.

Non-rewireable mains plug
If your appliance is supplied with a non-rewireable plug fitted to the mains lead you will
find that it incorporates a fuse, the value of which is indicated either on the base of the
