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.
Do not operate the oven if it is damaged until it has been repaired by qualified service personnel.
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.
Under no circumstances should you attempt to repair the appliance yourself. Repairs carried out by inexperienced persons may cause injury or serious malfunctioning. Contact your local Service Force Centre.
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.
Close supervision is necessary when the oven is used by children.
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
Most glass, glass ceramic and heat-resistant glassware utensils are excellent for use in the microwave 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.

Testing suitability of cookware Food safety
Do not heat food in a can in the microwave oven.
Place the cookware in the cavity along with a glass half full of water. Heat on 700 W (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.
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 un-attended. 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.
WARNING: 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 straight-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.

NOTE:
Do not force the turntable to rotate by hand. This

located on the top, rear, side and bottom of the oven.
Do not use this oven for commercial purpo ses.
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. Install the oven on a flat, level surface. The surface must be strong enough to safely bear the weight (15.5 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 5,0 cm from the walls to meet ventilation demands.
Important! 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).
* This appliance conforms to the requirements of EEC Radio Interference Directive 87/308/EEC.
Connecting to the mains
The oven is delivered with the power cord and a plug for 220-240V, 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.
WARNING! 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 non-rewireable 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.
Electrical connections
This appliance come fitted with a standard 2 pin moulded Euro plug
WARNING! THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED.
The manufacturer declines any liability should this safety measure not be observed.
If the plug that is fitted to your appliance is not
suitable for your socket outlet, it must be cut off and the appropriate plug fitted.
Remove the fuse from the cut off plug. The cut off plug should then be disposed of to prevent the hazard of shocks in case it should be plugged into a socket in another part of your home.
