INSTALLATION AND EARTHING INSTRUCTIONS

How to examine your microwave oven after unpacking.

Unpack oven, remove all packing material, and examine the oven for any damage such as dents, broken door, latches or cracks in the door. Do not remove the film from inside the door. Notify dealer immediately if the oven is damaged. Do not install if the oven is damaged.

Where to place your microwave oven.

1.Place the oven on a flat and stable surface.

2.Surface of the oven is protected by a plastic film which should be removed before using.

3.Leave space behind and sides and upper of the oven. All air vents should be kept a clearance.

If all vents are covered during operation, the oven may overheat and, eventually, lead to oven failure.

4.Keep away from radio and TV sets. If the oven is located close to a TV, radio interference may result.

5.Keep away from heating appliances and water taps. Keep the oven away from hot air, steam or splash when choosing a place to position it, or the insulation might be adversely affected and breakdowns occur.

6.The minimum height of free space necessary above the top surface of the oven is minimum 170mm.

Prior to use (If your oven has a grill element)

In order to protect your oven during transportation and storage, the grill element is covered with a protective coating. To remove this coating the grill element must be heated for 5 minutes. This procedure will produce some bad odours as the protective coating on the element disappears.

To remove the coating, use the following procedures:

1.Place an overproof and microwave safe bowl, containing 200cc of water or more, in the oven.

2.Press the convection button.

3.Set the time to 5 minutes.

4.Press the start button.

5.When the 5 minutes has elapsed, an acoustic signal sounds.

Note:

The protective coating has now been removed and the oven is ready to use. Please be aware that your oven now is very hot.

6.Open the oven door and remove the bowl with water (use oven gloves when removing the bowl).

CHILD LOCK

To prevent child from operating the oven, install the childlock key.

1.Touch more button for 3 seconds.

Indicator lock is indicated and all buttons do not operate.

2.Touch more button for 3 seconds once again, then childlock is canceled.

-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.

Electrical Connection

WARNING-THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED.

REFER TO RATING PLATE FOR VOLTAGE AND CHECK THAT THE APPLIANCE VOLTAGE CORRESPONDS WITH THE SUPPLY VOLTAGE IN YOUR HOME.

The flexible mains lead must be correctly connected, as below, to a three pin plug of not less than 13 AMP capacity. You must use a 3 pin plug which should be marked with the number BS 1363 and it should be fitted with 13 AMP fuse marked with the number BS 1362.

We recommend the use of good quality plugs and wall sockets that can be switched off when the machine is not in use.

IMPORTANT-The wires in the mains lead fitted to this appliance are coloured in accordance with the following code

GREEN AND YELLOW-EARTH

BLUE-NEUTRAL

BROWN-LIVE

As the colour of the wires in the mains lead of this appliance may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:

Power supply

•Check your local power source. This oven requires a current of approximately 12(8)amperes, 230V 50Hz.

•Power supply cord is about 1.2 meters long.

•The voltage used must be the same as specified on this oven. Using a higher voltage may result in a fire or other accident

causing oven damage. Using low voltage will cause slow cooking. We are not responsible for damage resulting from use of this oven with a voltage of ampere fuse other than those specified.

•If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its service agent or a similarly qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.

The wire which is coloured GREEN AND YELLOW must be connected to the terminal in the plug which is marked with the letter "E" or the earth symbol or coloured GREEN AND YELLOW, or GREEN.

The wire which is coloured BLUE must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter "N" or coloured BLACK, or BLUE.

The wire which is coloured BROWN must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter "L" or coloured RED , or BROWN.

If the terminals in the plug are unmarked or you are in any doubt as to the correct connections, consult a qualified electrician.

If you do not make the proper electrical connections you will damage your microwave oven and possibly injure yourself. Neither the manufacturer nor the supplier are liable if this happens.

MOULDED PLUGS

Should it be necessary to remove a moulded on plug from the mains cable, it should be cut off and replaced with a suitable replacement.

The moulded plug cannot be used for any other appliance, therefore remove the fuse and dispose immediately and safely to prevent anyone, especially children from plugging it in to a wall socket, which will create a safety hazard.

Should the mains lead ever require replacement, it is essential that this operation be carried out by a qualified electrician and should only be replaced with a flexible cord obtained from the manufacturer.

Applicable only if moulded plug is fitted.

After replacement of a fuse in the plug, the fuse cover must be refitted. If the fuse cover is lost, a replacement cover is obtained. The colour of the correct replacement fuse cover is that of the coloured insert in the base of the plug or the colour that is embossed in words in the base of the plug recess or elsewhere on the plug. Always state this colour when ordering a replacement fuse cover.

Only 13 amp replacement fuses which are ASTA approved to BS 1362 should be fitted

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

General Use

Listed below are, as with all appliances, certain rules to follow and safeguards to assure top performance from this oven:

1.Do not use the oven for any reason other than food preparation, such as for drying clothes, paper, or any other nonfood items or for sterilizing purposes.

They may catch on fire.

2.Do not use the oven when empty, this could damage the oven.

3.Do not use the oven cavity for any type of storage, such as papers, cookbook, cookware, etc.

4.Do not operate the oven without the turntable tray in place. Be sure it is properly sitting on the rotating base.

5.Be caution when removing the turntable tray after cooking meats that may have caused an accumulation of grease in the tray.

6.Unlike microwave-only ovens, this oven may become hot on the cabinet and oven door.

Always use hot pads or oven mitts when placing or removing food and/or accessories from the oven.

Be cautions about touching parts other then control panel during or immediately following grill or combination cooking.

7.If the oven is hot from combination cooking, do not use plastic or Styrofoam cookware for microwave cooking.

They may melt.

8. Do not use recycled paper products for cooking.

They may contain impurities which could cause sparks and/or fires when used during cooking.

9.Do not continue to cook with metal utensils if sparking appears. See "Accessories" section on page 6 for proper use of cookware.

10.Do not leave the oven unattended during short cooking times. Overcooking and fire may result.

11.Do not cook eggs in the shelf, as they will explode. Occasionally a poached egg may burst during microwave cooking. Be sure to cook covered, and let stand one minute after cooking before removing the cover.

12.Do not cook any food surrounded by a membrane, such as egg yolks, potatoes, chicken livers, etc., without first piercing them several times with a fork.

13.Do not pop popcorn except in a microwave approved popcorn bag or in a commercial package recommended especially for microwave ovens.

Never try to popcorn in a paper bag. If oil is used while making popcorn, overcooking may cause smoke and, eventually, fire.

14.Do not attempt to operate this appliance with the door open.

15.Do not attempt to remove covers, panels, etc.

16.Look at the oven from time to time when food is heated or cooked in disposable containers of plastic, paper or other combustible materials.

17.If smoke is observed, switch off or unplug the appliance and keep the door closed in order to stifle any flames.

18.Microwave heating of berverages can result in delayed eruptive boiling, therefore care has to be taken when handling the container.

TO AVOID EXPLOSION AND SUDDEN BOILIING

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 not liquid. To prevent this possibility the following steps should be taken:

a.Avoid using straight sided containers with narrow necks.

b.Do not overheat.

c.Stir the liquid before placing the container in the oven and again halfway through the heating time.

d.After heating, allow to stand in the oven for a short time, stir or shake them again carefully and check the temperature of them before consumption to avoid burns (especially, contents of feeding bottles and baby food jars).

1.Eggs

Never cook eggs in their shells. Steam will build up inside the shell during cooking and the egg will explode.

If you want to cook or reheat eggs which have not been broken up by scrambling or mixing, you must always pierce the yolks or these will also explode. You should slice shelled hard boiled eggs before you reheat them in your microwave oven.

2.Piercing

Always pierce food which has a skin or membrane, for example, potatoes, tomatoes, apples, sausages etc. If you don't pierce them, steam will build up inside and they may explode.

3.Lids

Always remove the lids of jars and containers and take away food containers, before you cook using your microwave oven. If you don't, then steam and pressure might build up inside and cause an explosion even after the microwave cooking has stopped.

1.Without metal parts or metal trims.

2.Some plastics are heat-proof only to certain temperatures. Check carefully!

3.It is possible to use aluminium foil to shield deliate areas of food (this prevents over-cooking).

4.Metal tins can be used in the combination methods, however if these are very deep, they will greatly reduce the efficiency, as metal shields the microwave energy from the food.

Microwave function only

Utensils and cooking containers used in a microwave oven should be of a material that does not act as a barrier to microwave energy. Generally this means that you should cook in either (paper), plastic, glass or ceramic. Metal pans reflect microwave energy and inhibit cooking, and should not be used. In addition to material, the shape of the container should also be considered. Round oval shapes give the most even cooking. Square or rectangular containers may over-cook foods in the corners because more energy is absorbed there. Shallow containers give more even cooking results.

Utensils made of china and ceramic excellent to use in your microwave oven. Most types of glass are also very good. Lead crystal glass can crack and should therefore, not be used. Plastics and paper can also be used, provided they can withstand the temperature of the heated food. For cooking only use plastics, which will withstand a temperature of over 120˚C, e.g. polypropene and polyamide. Some plastic materials, e.g. melamine, will be heated by the microwave, and be damaged. To find out if a certain container is suitable, the following simple test can be made:

Place the empty container and a glass of water inside the microwave oven. The water is needed because the oven must not be operated empty or with empty containers only. Let the oven work on full power for one minute. A suitable container will only be lukewarm.

Metal containers, e.g. saucepans or frying pans should not be used in microwave ovens. Nor should plates or vessels with decorations be used since metal e.g. gold, might be part of the decoration and such decorations will be damaged. Small pieces of aluminiuum foil can be

used, but only to shield the areas that would over-cook (e.g. for covering chicken wings, leg tips and fish tails) but

the foil must not touch the side of the oven as damage may occur.

Caution:

•There are a number of accessories available on the market. Before you buy, make sure they are suitable for microwave use.

•When you put food in the microwave oven, make sure that food, food supports or covering do not come in direct contact with any of the internal walls or the ceiling of the cavity since discolouration may take place.
