Safety lock
o When the microwave is not heating, it is possible to switch on
the safety lock.
o Press and hold down the stop/clear button (C) for 3 seconds.
o The microwave will emit a long audible signal and the LED
display (A) will display a padlock symbol.
o Until the safety lock is switched off, all buttons on the microwave
will be disabled.
o To switch off the safety lock, press and hold down the stop/clear
button (E) fo
r 3 seconds. The microwave will emit a long audible
signal and the padlock symbol will disappear from the LED
display (A).
Microwave cooking guidelines
o If you are heating liquid in the microwave, then you must also
place a
teaspoon in the container. This will ensure that the liquid
does not boil suddenly after being removed from the microwave
cavity.
o This phenomenon is called “delayed boiling”, this means that a
liquid can be close to boiling point, even if there is no steam
coming off the liquid or the liquid is not bubbling. If the liquid
container is even gently shaken, then the liquid can without
warning boil over or even spurt. This could scald the end user.
o If the food you are cooking has a skin or peel (e.g. sausages,
tomatoes, potatoes etc), then you should pierce the skin o
r peel
with a fork. This will ensure that if steam is created during the
heating process, it can escape and the food will not burst.
o When heating baby food, the bottle or jar containing the food
should NEVER have a top or lid on. After cooking, to ensure that
the food has been heated un
iformly, you should stir or shake the
food. IMPORTANT: You must check the temperature of the food
before feeding it to a child.
o When heating food in a microwave, it will transmit the
heat to
the container that the food is in or on. You should ALWAYS use
oven gloves when removing items from the microwave.
o You should make sure that you
do not cook food for too long or
at too high a power level. This could cause certain areas of the
food to dry out or even ignite.
24
Page 25
o You should not use ceramic or porcelain crockery, or porous
earthenware inside of your microwave. Thes
e dishes could
absorb moisture from the food whilst it is cooking, which could
cause pressure to build up and shatter the dish.
o If you are heating certain foods and any liquid, moisture will
evaporate and condensation may occur. This
does not indicate
that the appliance is faulty and it can be particularly noticeable if
the ambient temperature of the room is high.
o IMPORTANT: Any condensation should be wiped up with a soft
cloth as soon as you have finished using the microwave.
o After the cooking time has completed, you should let the food
stand for a few minu
tes. This is called “standing time” and will
allow the heat generated by the microwave to spread evenly
throughout the food.
Materials you can use for microwave cooking

requirements that you require to build the appliance into a
housing unit.
o Ensure that the rear panel of the furniture housing unit has been
removed.
o This oven may be installed without any additional ventilation cut
outs being made in the housing unit. Howeve

Preparing the housing unit
o Your appliance will be supplied with an installation template,
which you should follow when preparing the housing unit.
o Place the template on the base of the housing unit and tape it
into position.
o IMPORTANT: The edge of template must be completely level
with the front edge of the housing unit.
IMPORTANT: The centre line on the template MUST be
o
positioned in the middle of the housing unit.
o You should make marks on
the base of the housing unit,
in the posi
tions marked with
the letter “a” on the
template.
o For the next step in
preparing the housing
unit process, you
require 8 x screw A and
the bottom brackets.
will
32
Page 33
o Remove the template
from the base of the
housing unit.
o Fix the bottom
brackets to the base
of the housing unit,
using screw A.
o IMPORTANT: These
screws must be fully
tightened.
Installing the oven into a housing unit
o Fit adjustment screw B into the adjustment screw-hole on the
top of the microwave. Adjustment screw B should not be fully
tightened at this stage.
33
Page 34
o Place the microwave into the housing unit.
o IMPORTANT: Do not push the microwave fully into the housing
unit, as you still need to be able to access adjustment screw B at
this stage of the installation.
o IMPORTANT: Make sure that the oven feet are sitting correctly
in the grooves on the bottom brackets.
o Turn adjustment screw B, ensuring that there is a 1 mm gap
between adjustment screw B and the underneath of the top
surface of the housing unit.
o Push the microwave fully into the housing unit.
o IMPORTANT: Care should be taken to ensure that you do not
trap or kink the power cord.
o Open the microwave door and locate screw-hole C. Use screw C
to fix the microwave oven to the housing unit. A screw cover is
provided to cover the screw cap.

Troubleshooting
o The microwave will not switch on.
* Check that the appliance has been connected to the mains
supply correctly.
* Check that the fuse in the moulded plug has not blown.
* Check that the fuses in your fuse box have not blown.
* If fuses blow on a regular basis, then we would recommend that
you consult with a qualified electrician.
* Check that there has not been a power cut.
o The microwave will not start cooking.
* Check that the door is properly shut.
* Check that the door seal and surrounding area are clean.
* Check that you have pressed Quick Start/Start button.
o The turntable is not turning.
* Check that the turntable shaft is connected to the drive motor
correctly.
* Check that the ovenware is not larger than the turntable glass.
* Check that the food you are cooking does not extend beyond the
turntable glass.
o Check that there is nothing underneath the turntable that is
preventing it from turning.
o The microwave does not switch off.
* Isolate the microwave from your mains supply and then contact
the Customer Care Department.
o The interior light bulb is not working.
* Call the Customer Care Department. The interior light bulb can
only be replaced by a trained service technician.
o My food is not cooking properly
* Check that the power level and cooking time that you have set,
is appropriate for the food that you are cooking.
* If you are cooking a double amount of food, then you will
normally need to almost double the cooking time.
* If the food that you have placed in the cavity is colder than
normal, then the power level and cooking time may need to be
increased.
35
Page 36
o I am getting condensation in my oven
* Steam and condensation are a natural by product of cooking in a
microwave.
* Do not leave food in the oven to cool after it has been cooked
and the oven has been switched off.
* Use a covered container, where practical, when cooking to
reduce the amount of condensation that forms.
* You should wipe over any condensation that has formed, as soon
as the food has stopped cooking.
IMPORTANT: If your appliance appears not to be
operating correctly, then you should disconnect it
from your mains supply and then contact the
Customer Care Department on telephone number
(0118) 933 6911.
