instructions provided.
• Accessible surfaces are liable to get hot during use.
• Keep the electrical cable away from heated surfaces, and do not
cover any vents on the oven.
Important - Microwave Cooking
• Do not attempt to operate this microwave oven with the door
open or ajar. It is important not to alter or tamper with the safety
interlocks.
• Do not place anything between the oven front face and the door, or
allow soil or cleaning residues to accumulate on sealing surfaces.
• WARNING: If the door, door seal or interlocks are damaged, the
oven must not be used until it is repaired by a suitably qualied
person.
• Liquids and other foods must not be heated in sealed containers
since they are liable to explode.
• WARNING: It is hazardous for anyone other than a competent
person to carry out any service or repair operation that involves
the removal of a cover which gives protection against exposure
to microwave energy.
• Only use utensils suitable for use in microwave ovens.
• Do not use metal pans or dishes with metal handles.
• Do not use anything with metal trim.
• Do not use melamine dishes as they contain a material which
will absorb microwave energy. This may cause the dishes to
crack or char and will slow down the cooking speed.
• Do not cook in a container with a restricted opening, such
Page 6
6
as a carbonated drinks bottle or salad oil bottle, as they may
explode if heated in a microwave oven.
• Do not use conventional meat or sugar thermometers.
• Remove wire twist-ties from bags before placing bags in the
oven.
• The oven should be cleaned regularly and any food deposits should
be removed.
• If smoke is emitted, switch o or unplug the appliance and keep the
door closed in order to stifle any flames.
• Do not use the oven cavity for storage purposes. Do not store
items, such as bread, cookies, books etc. inside the oven.
• Eggs in the shell and whole hard-boiled eggs should not be heated
in microwave ovens since they may explode, even after microwave
heating has ended.
• Do not cook any food surrounded by a membrane, such as egg
yolks, potatoes, chicken livers, etc. without first piercing it several
times with a fork.
• If the supply cable is damaged, it must be replaced by the
manufacturer, its approved service agent or similarly qualified
persons in order to avoid a hazard.
• Do not store or use this appliance outdoors.
• Do not use this oven near water, in a wet basement or near a
swimming pool.
• Do not let the power cable hang over the edge of a table or
worktop.
• Failure to maintain the oven in a clean condition could lead to
deterioration of the surfaces that could adversely aect the life of
the appliance and possibly result in a hazardous situation.
• Microwave heating of beverages can result in delayed eruptive
Page 7
7
boiling, therefore care must be taken when handling the container.
• This appliance is not intended to be operated by means of an
external timer or separate remote-control system.
• Always have the glass tray, roller arms, coupling and roller track in
place when operating the microwave oven.
• Do not use the oven for any reason other than food preparation,
such as for drying clothes, paper, or any other non-food items, or for
sterilizing purposes.
• Do not operate the microwave or combination cooking functions
when empty. This could damage the oven.
• Do not insert any object into the openings on the outer case.
• Do not at any time remove parts from the oven such as the feet,
coupling, screws, etc.
• Do not cook food directly on the glass turntable. Place food in/on
proper cooking utensils before placing in the oven.
• Do not attempt to deep-fry foods in the oven.
• Please remember that a microwave oven only heats the liquid in a
container rather than the container itself. Therefore, even though
the lid of a container is not hot to the touch when removed from
the oven, the food/liquid inside will be releasing the same amount
of steam and/or spitting when the lid is removed as in conventional
cooking.
• Always test the temperature of cooked food yourself especially if
you are heating or cooking food/liquid for babies. It is advisable
never to consume food/liquid straight from the oven but allow it to
stand for a few minutes and stir food/liquid to distribute heat evenly.
• Food containing a mixture of fat and water, e.g. stock, should stand
for 30-60 seconds in the oven after it has been turned o. This is
Page 8
8
to allow the mixture to settle and to minimise the risk of eruptive
boiling when a spoon is placed in the food/liquid or a stock cube is
added.
• When preparing/cooking food/liquid remember that there are
certain foods, e.g. Christmas puddings, jam and mincemeat, which
heat up very quickly.
• When heating or cooking foods with a high fat or sugar content do
not use plastic containers.
• Cooking utensils may become hot because of heat transferred from
the food. This is especially true if plastic wrap has been covering
the top and handles of the utensils. Oven gloves may be needed to
handle the utensils.
• To reduce the risk of fire in the oven cavity:
• Do not overcook food.
• Watch the microwave oven carefully if paper, plastic, or
other combustible materials are used inside the oven during
cooking.

Care and Maintenance
IMPORTANT
There are no user serviceable parts in this appliance. It is
dangerous for anyone other than a qualied person to perform
maintenance or repair that requires the removal of any cover as
these provide protection against exposure to microwave power
and extremely high voltages.
The oven exterior
As the oven has a stainless steel surface, you should use a
nonabrasive cleaner. Any abrasive cleaner (including Cif) will scratch
the surface and could erase the control panel markings. Stainless
steel can be eectively cleaned by simply using a dilute solution of
water and mild detergent and drying to a shine with a clean cloth.
Proprietary stainless steel cleaners are available. We recommend the
CDA E-Cloth available from the CDA Sales Team for cleaning stainless
steel surfaces as this has been designed to prolong the finish of your
appliance.
Inside of Oven
The oven should always be cleaned after use when it has cooled
down.
The cavity should be cleaned using a mild detergent solution and
warm water.

requirements laid down for this type of product. However, special
care should be taken around the rear or the underneath of the
appliance as these areas are not designed or intended to be
touched and may contain sharp or rough edges that could cause
injury.
If your appliance is not working:
1. Check that it is switched on.
