Heatwave ©
Heatwave System © is an advanced and revolutionary microwave distribution system, ensuring
even and uniform cooking, defrosting and reheating.
Technically, this is achieved by re-positioning the microwave-generating component – the
magnetron – to feed directly into the cavity. The result is that microwaves spread smoothly to
reach all parts of the cavity.
Heatwave © ensures an even heat distribution across and throughout the food.

Safety instructions.
The built-in safety interlock switches prevent the microwave oven from operating when the
•
door is open.
Do not tamper with them, or attempt to operate the oven with the door open as open door
•
operation can result in exposure to microwave energy.
Do not allow food spills or cleaner residue to accumulate on door sealing surfaces. See the
•
Cleaning and Care section for cleaning instructions.
It is particularly important that the oven door closes properly and that there is no damage to
•
the: (1) door (warped), (2) hinges and latches (broken or insecure), (3) door seals and sealing
surface. m If the door, hinges/latches or door seals are damaged, the microwave must not be
operated until it has been repaired by a authorized service person.
It is hazardous for anyone except factory trained service personnel to service or
make adjustments to this oven. Contact your nearest authorised service agent if
service should be required.
Do not remove the outer case, door or control panel at any time. Doing so may cause
•
exposure to extremely high voltage.
Install or locate this oven only in accordance with ‘installation instructions’ found in this
•
manual.
Use the appliance for its intended use as described in this manual. Do not use corrosive
•
chemicals in this appliance. This type of oven is specifically designed to heat, cook, or defrost
food. It is not designed for industrial or laboratory use neither for commercial use as this will
invalidate the guarantee.
Do not operate the oven empty. If food or water is not present to absorb the microwave
•
energy, the magnetron tube can be damaged.
Do not store this appliance outdoors. Do not use this product near water.
•
Do not attempt to dry clothing or newspapers in the microwave oven. These items can ignite.
•
Do not use the cavity for storage purposes. Do not leave paper products, cooking utensils, or
food in the cavity when not in use.
Utensil safety
6
If smoke is observed, switch off or unplug the appliance and keep the door closed
in order to stifle any flames. Never use water.
Only allow children to use the microwave, without supervision, when adequate
instructions have been given so that the child is able to use the microwave in a
safe way and understand the hazards of improper use.
Most glass, glass ceramic and heat-resistant glass-ware utensils are excellent for use in the
•
micro-wave oven. Although microwave energy will not heat most glass and ceramic items,
these utensils can become hot as heat transfers from the food to the container. The use of
oven gloves to remove dishes is recommended.
MCC233t English
Testing suitability of cookware
Place the cookware in the microwave along with a glass half full of water. Heat on Hi
•
W(900W) (100%) for one minute. If the cookware feels hot, you should not use it. If it is just
slightly warm, you can use it for reheating but not for cooking. If the dish is room
temperature, it is suitable for microwave cooking.
Paper napkins, wax paper, paper towels, plates, cups, cartons, freezer wrap and cardboard
•
are great convenience utensils. Always be sure containers are filled with food to absorb
energy and thus avoid the possibility of overheating.
Many plastic dishes, cups, freezer containers and plastic wraps may be used in the
•
microwave oven. Follow manufacturer’s instructions when using plastics in the oven. Avoid
using plastic utensils with foods that have high fat or sugar content since these foods reach
high temperatures and could melt some plastics.
Do not leave oven unattended, and look at it from time to time when heating or cooking
•
food in plastic, paper or other combustible containers. If smoke is observed, keep door closed,
switch the oven off or disconnect oven until smoke stops.
Metal utensils and utensils with metallic trim should not be used in the microwave oven,
•
unless specifically recommended for microwave use.
Containers with restricted openings, such as bottles, should not be used for microwave
•
cooking.
Use caution when removing a lid or cover from a dish to avoid steam burns.
•
Foil containers
Shallow foil containers may safely be used to reheat foods in your microwave oven providing
the following rules are observed:
Foil containers should not be more than 3 cms (1 1/4”) deep.
•
Foil lids must not be used.
•
The foil containers must be at least two-thirds full of food. Empty containers must never be
•
used.
Foil containers should be used singly in the microwave oven and should not be allowed to
•
touch the sides. If your oven has a metal turntable or cooking rack, the foil container should
be placed on an upturned oven-proof plate.
Foil containers should never be re-used in the microwave oven.
•
If the microwave oven has been in use for 15 minutes or more, allow it to cool before using
•
it again.
The container and turntable may become hot during use, take great care when removing
•
either from the oven. It is advisable to use an oven cloth or glove when doing so.
Remember when using an aluminium foil container that the reheating or cooking times may
•
be longer than you are used to, always ensure that the food is piping hot before serving.

Food safety
Do not heat food in a can in the microwave oven. Always remove the food to a suitable
•
container.
Deep fat frying should not be done in the microwave oven, because the fat temperature
•
cannot be controlled, hazardous situations can result.
Popcorn may be prepared in the microwave oven, but only in special packages or utensils
•
designed specifically for this purpose. This cooking operation should never be unattended.
Pierce foods with non-porous skins or membranes to prevent steam build-up and bursting.
•
Apples, potatoes, chicken livers, and egg yolks are examples of items that should be pierced.
The contents of feeding bottles and baby food jars are to be stirred or shaken and the
•
temperature is to be checked before consumption, in order to avoid burns. When heating
liquids, e.g. soups, sauces and beverages in your microwave oven, overheating the liquid
beyond boiling point can occur without evidence of bubbling. This could result in a sudden
boil over of the hot liquid. To prevent this possibility the following steps should be taken:
1. Avoid using traight-sided containers with narrow necks.
2. Do not overheat.
3. Stir the liquid before placing the container in the oven and again halfway through the
heating time.
4. After heating, allow to stand in the oven for a short time, stirring again before carefully
removing the container. Some products such as whole eggs and sealed containers – for
example, closed glass jars – may explode and should not be heated in this oven.
Occasionally, poached eggs may explode during cooking. Always pierce the yolk, then
cover and allow the standing time of one minute before removing cover.
Keep these instructions!

Safety instructions when cooking with grill, Convection
or combination modes.
1. The glass viewing window may break if water is spilled on it during grilling or convection
cooking.
2. Be sure to use an oven glove when loading and unloading the oven. Containers get very hot
in the oven, so be careful not to burn yourself. The turn-table and metal rack also get very
hot so be sure to use an oven glove when handling them.
3. Do not touch the inner or outer viewing window with metal components when loading or
unloading the oven. The inside of the door and oven get very hot so take care when
attending food in the oven.
4. Do not put the turntable or containers in cold water or try to cool them quickly after use.
5. Do not place items on top of the cabinet. The top of the cabinet gets very hot, so anything
placed on it may be damaged by the heat.
6. Preheat your oven only when using the Grill or Convection modes, never when using
microwave or combination modes (Microwave + Grill or Microwave + Convection)
It is quite normal for steam to be emitted around the door, or for misting to
occur on the door, or even for water droplets to appear below the door during
the cooking cycle. This is merely condensation from the heat of the food and
does not affect the safety of your oven. The door is not intended to seal the oven
cavity completely.
Do not force the turntable to rotate by hand. This may cause malfunctioning.
•
Arcing in the oven during microwave operation usually occurs from use of metallic utensils.
•
Continuous arcing, however, can damage the unit. Stop the programme and check the
utensil.
Care should be taken not to obstruct any air vents located on the top, rear, side and bottom
•
of the oven.
Do not use this oven for commercial purposes.This oven is made for domestic use only.
Unpacking
N.B. When you unpack the oven, check that the product is free from damage. Damage or any
missing parts must be reported immediately to the retailer. The oven, parts of the oven or the
accessories may be wrapped by a protection foil. If so, you must remove this foil before using
the oven. Do not leave packing material so that small children can play with it. This can be
hazardous.

Installation
1. Remove any promotion label from the door.
2. The oven should be installed on a flat, level surface. The surface must be strong enough to
safely bear the weight (18 kg) of the oven, and the contents. To avoid the possibility of
causing vibration or noise the oven must be in a stable position.
3. Keep the oven away from heat and water. Exposure to heat and water can lower oven
efficiency and lead to malfunctioning, so be sure to install the oven away from heat and
water sources.
4. Do not block air vents on the top and the sides of the cabinet and also do not place any
articles on the top of the oven. If air vents are blocked during operation, the oven may
overheat, and this may lead to malfunctioning. Hot air escapes from the vents, so be sure
not to obstruct it or let curtains come between the oven and the rear wall.
5. Place the oven as far away from radios and TV’s as possible. This oven does conform to EEC
requirements of radio interference suppression, but some interference may occur if it is
placed too close to a radio or TV, so keep them as far apart as possible.
6. If positioned in a corner, leave a gap of at least 5 cm from the walls and 5 cm above the
microwave.
MPORTANT! The oven can be placed almost anywhere in the kitchen. Make sure
the oven is placed on a flat, level surface and that vents as well as the surface
underneath the oven are not blocked (for sufficient ventilation).
Connecting to the mains
10
The oven is delivered with the power cord and a plug for 230–240 V, 50Hz, earthed socket outlet.
Earth protection minimises the risks should a short circuit occur. Check to ensure the voltage of
the oven matches the supply.
N.B. If the oven is connected to the socket via an extension cord, make sure the cord is earthed.
This appliance must not be used on a non-earth protected power supply.
Contact an electrician if you are uncertain regarding electrical connection of
the oven or provision of earth protection of the supply.
This appliance must be earthed. If this appliance is fitted with a non-
rewireable plug for which your socket is unsuitable, the plug should be cut off
and the appropriate plug fitted. If it is necessary to change the fuse in a nonrewireable plug, the fuse cover must be refitted. If the fuse cover is lost or
damaged, the plug must not be used until a replacement is obtained.
