Important safety instructions
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS: READ CAREFULLY AND KEEP FOR FUTURE REFERENCE
To avoid the danger of fire
The microwave oven should not be left unattended
during operation. Power levels that are too high or
cooking times that are too long may overheat
foods resulting in a fire.
The electrical outlet must be readily accessible so that
the unit can be unplugged easily in an emergency.
Do not store or use the oven outdoors.
If food being heated begins to smoke, DO NOT OPEN
THE DOOR. Turn off and unplug the oven and wait
until the food has stopped smoking. Opening the
door while food is smoking may cause a fire.
Only use microwave-safe containers and utensils.
See Page19.
Do not leave the oven unattended when using
disposable plastic, paper or other combustible food
containers.
Clean the waveguide cover, the oven cavity and
the turntable after use. These must be dry and free
from grease. Built-up grease may overheat and
begin to smoke or catch fire.
Do not place flammable materials near the oven or
ventilation openings. Do not block the ventilation openings.
Remove all metallic seals, wire twists, etc., from food
and food packages. Arcing on metallic surfaces may
cause a fire.
Do not use the microwave oven to heat oil for deep
frying. The temperature cannot be controlled and the
oil may catch fire.
To make popcorn, only use special microwave popcorn
makers.
Do not store food or any other items inside the oven.
Check the settings after you start the oven to ensure
the oven is operating as desired.
See the corresponding hints in the cookery book section.
To avoid the possibility of injury
WARNING:
Do not operate the oven if it is damaged or
malfunctioning. Check the following before use:
a) The door; make sure the door closes properly and
ensure it is not misaligned or warped.
b) The hinges and door safety latches; check to make
sure they are not broken or loose.
c) The door seals and sealing surfaces; ensure that
they have not been damaged.
d) Inside the oven cavity or on the door; make sure
there are no dents.
e) The power supply cord and plug; ensure that they
are not damaged.
Never adjust , repair or modify the oven yourself.
It is hazardous for anyone other than a competent
person to carry out any service or repair operation
which involves the removal of a cover which gives
protection against exposure to microwave energy.
Do not operate the oven with the door open or alter
the door safety latches in any way.
Do not operate the oven if there is an object between
the door seals and sealing surfaces.
Do not allow grease or dirt to build up on the door
seals and adjacent parts. Follow the instructions
for “Care and Cleaning” on page 33. Failure to
maintain the oven in a clean condition could lead
to a deterioration of the surface that could
adversely affect the life of the appliance and
possibly result in a hazardous situation.
Individuals with PACEMAKERS should check with their
doctor or the manufacturer of the pacemaker for
precautions regarding microwave ovens.
To avoid the possibility of electric shock
Under no circumstances should you remove the outer
cabinet.
Never spill or insert any objects into the door lock
openings or ventilation openings. In the event of a spill,
turn off and unplug the oven immediately and call your
local Service Force Centre.
Do not immerse the power supply cord or plug in water or
any other liquid.
Do not allow the power supply cord to run over any hot or
sharp surfaces, such as the hot air vent area at the top rear
of the oven.
Do not attempt to replace the oven lamp yourself or allow
anyone who is not authorised by Service Force to do so. If
the oven lamp fails, please consult your dealer or contact
your local Service Force Centre.

If the power supply cord of this appliance is damaged, it
must be replaced with a special cord. The exchange must
be made by an authorised Service Force Centre.
To avoid the possibility of explosion and sudden boiling:
WARNING: Liquids and other foods must not be heated
in sealed containers since they are liable to explode.
Never use sealed containers. Remove seals and lids before
use. Sealed containers can explode due to a build up of
pressure even after the oven has been turned off.
Take care when microwaving liquids. Use a widemouthed container to allow bubbles to escape.
Microwave heating of beverages can result in
delayed eruptive boiling, therefore care has to be
taken when handling the container.
To prevent sudden eruption of boiling liquid and possible
scalding:
1. Stir liquid prior to heating/reheating.
2. It is advisable to insert a glass rod or similar utensil
into the liquid whilst reheating.
3. Let liquid stand in the oven at the end of cooking
time to prevent delayed eruptive boiling.
Do not cook eggs in their shells, and whole hard
boiled eggs should not be heated in microwave
ovens since they may explode even after
microwave cooking has ended. To cook or reheat
eggs which have not been scrambled or mixed,
pierce the yolks and the whites, or the eggs may
explode. Shell and slice hard boiled eggs before
reheating them in the microwave oven.
Pierce the skin of such foods as potatoes, sausages and
fruit before cooking, or they may explode.
To avoid the possibility of burns
Use pot holders or oven gloves when removing food
from the oven to prevent burns.
Always open containers, popcorn makers, oven cooking bags,
etc., away from the face and hands to avoid steam burns.
To avoid burns, always test food temperature and
stir before serving and pay special attention to the
temperature of food and drink given to babies,
children or the elderly.
Temperature of the container is not a true indication of
the temperature of the food or drink; always check the
food temperature.
Always stand back from the oven door when opening,
to avoid burns from escaping steam and heat.
Slice stuffed baked foods after heating to release steam
and avoid burns.
Keep children away from the door to prevent them
burning themselves.
Do not touch the oven door, outer cabinet, rear cabinet,
oven cavity, ventilation openings, accessories and dishes
during GRILL mode, CONVECTION mode, DUAL mode,
AUTO COOK and AUTO COOK FROM FROZEN, operation
as they will become hot. Before cleaning make sure they
are not hot.
To avoid misuse by children
Warning: Only allow children to use the oven without
supervision when adequate instructions have been
given so that the child is able to use the oven in a safe
way and understands the hazards of improper use.
Do not lean or swing on the oven door. Do not play
with the oven or use it as a toy.
Children should be taught all important safety
instructions: use of pot holders, careful removal of food
coverings; paying special attention to packaging (e.g. selfheating materials) designed to make food crisp, as they
may be extra hot.
Other warnings
Never modify the oven in any way.
Do not move the oven while it is in operation.
This oven is for home food preparation only and may
only be used for cooking food. It is not suitable for
commercial or laboratory use.
To promote trouble-free use of your oven and avoid
damage.
Never operate the oven when it is empty except where
recommended in the operation manual, see Page 11.
Doing so may damage the oven.
When using a browning dish or self-heating material,
always place a heat-resistant insulator such as a porcelain
plate under it to prevent damage to the turntable due to
heat stress. The preheating time specified in the dish’s
instructions must not be exceeded.
Do not use metal utensils, which reflect microwaves and
may cause electrical arcing. Do not put cans in the oven.
Use only the turntable designed for this oven.
Do not place anything on the outer cabinet during
operation.
Do not use plastic containers for microwaving if the oven is
still hot from using the GRILL mode, CONVECTION mode,
DUAL mode, AUTO COOK, and AUTO COOK FROM
FROZEN, because they may melt. Plastic containers must
not be used during above modes unless the container
manufacturer says they are suitable.
NOTE:
If you are unsure how to connect your oven, please
consult an authorised, qualified electrician.
Neither the manufacturer nor the dealer can accept any
liability for damage to the oven or personal injury
resulting from failure to observe the correct electrical
connection procedure.
Water vapour or drops may occasionally form on the
oven walls or around the door seals and sealing
surfaces. This is a normal occurrence and is not an
indication of microwave leakage or a malfunction.

section. Generally the following recommendations
apply:
900 W used for fast cooking or reheating e.g. soup,
casseroles, canned food, hot beverages, vegetables, fish,
etc.
630 W used for longer cooking of dense foods such as
roast joints, meat loaf and plated meals, also for
sensitive dishes such as cheese sauce and sponge cakes.
At this reduced setting, the sauce will not boil over and
food will cook evenly without over cooking at the sides.
450 W for dense foods which require a long cooking
time when cooked conventionally, eg. beef dishes, it is
advisable to use this power setting to ensure the meat
will be tender.
270 W (Defrost setting) to defrost, select this power
setting, to ensure that the dish defrosts evenly. This
setting is also ideal for simmering rice, pasta, dumplings
and cooking egg custard.
90 W for gentle defrosting, eg. cream gateaux or
pastry.

Like radio and television waves, microwaves are
electromagnetic waves.
Microwaves are produced by a magnetron inside the
microwave oven, and these vibrate the molecules of
water present in the food. The friction this causes
produces heat, which ensures that the food is defrosted,
heated or cooked through.
The secret of the reduced cooking times is the fact that
the microwaves penetrate the food from every
direction. Energy is used to the full. In comparison, the
energy from a conventional hob passes from the burner
through the pan and so to the food.
This method wastes a great deal of energy.
THE CHARACTERISTICS OF MICROWAVES
Microwaves penetrate all non-metal objects made of
glass, china, earthenware, plastic, wood or paper. This is
why the microwaves never make these materials hot.
Dishes become hot only because the food inside them is
hot.
The food absorbs the microwaves and is heated.
Microwaves cannot pass through objects made of metal
and so they are deflected. For this reason metal objects
are not normally suitable for microwave cookery.
There are exceptions where you can actually make use
of the fact that the microwaves cannot pass through
metal. If you cover food with aluminium foil at specific
points while it is defrosting or cooking, you can prevent
those parts from getting too warm, too hot, or
overcooked. Please check out the advice given in the
guide.
Microwave operation
By using the microwave facility in your new
combination microwave oven you can, for example,
quickly heat up ready-prepared meals or drinks, or melt
butter or chocolate in no time at all.
The microwave oven is equally good at defrosting food.
Sometimes, however, it is better to combine the
microwave with convection heating or grilling
(combined operation). You can then cook the food
rapidly and brown it at the same time. Cooking times
are generally much shorter than in conventional food
preparation.
COMBINED OPERATION
(MICROWAVE OPERATION WITH
CONVECTION OR GRILL)
By combining two modes of operation the benefits of
your oven are cleverly linked together.
You are able to choose between
• microwave + convection (ideal for joints of meat,
poultry, puddings, bread and cakes) and
• microwave + grill (ideal for pizzas, snacks, quick fryups, joints, poultry, chicken legs, kebabs, Welsh
rarebit and cooking au gratin).
Using the combination facility you can cook and brown
food at the same time.
The advantage is that the convected heat or the heat
from the grill quickly seals the pores in the outer layers
of the food. The microwaves ensure a short and gentle
cooking period. The juices are preserved inside the food
and the outside is crisp.
Convection operation
You can also use convection without microwave. The
result is like using a conventional oven. The circulating
air quickly heats up the external parts of the food
without drying up the meat juices and the foods.
This sealing process means that the meals remain tasty
and cook in a shorter time than with conventional
ovens with upper and lower heaters.
Grill Operation
This appliance comes with a quartz grill above the
cooking area. It can be used as a conventional grill
without microwave. You can quickly bake or grill dishes.
It’s also suitable for steaks, chops and cakes.
