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 Stop/Clear button for 3 seconds.
Indicator lock is indicated and all buttons do not operate.
2. Touch Stop/Clear 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 15 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 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.

plug, if it is not working properly, or if it has been damaged or
dropped.
19. This appliance should be serviced only by qualified service
personnel.
Contact nearest authorized service facility for examination,
repair or adjustment.
10. Do not cover or block any openings on the appliance.
11. Do not store this appliance outdoors. Do not use this product
near water — for example, near a kitchen sink, in a wet
basement, or near a swimming pool, or similar locations.
12. Do not immerse cord or plug in water.
13. Keep cord away from heated surfaces.
14. Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter.
15. Either:
a) When cleaning surfaces of door and oven that comes
together on closing the door, use only mild, non-abrasive
soaps or detergents applied with a sponge or soft cloth , or
b) When separate cleaning instructions are provided, See
door surface cleaning instructions on.
16. To reduce the risk of fire in the oven cavity:
a) Do not overcook food. Carefully attend appliance when
paper, plastic, or other com-bustible materials are placed
inside the oven to facilitate cooking.
b) Remove wire twist-ties from paper or plastic bags before
placing bag in oven.
c) If materials inside the oven ignite, keep oven door closed,
turn oven off, and disconnect the power cord, or shut off
power at the fuse or circuit breaker panel.
d) Do not use the cavity for storage purposes. Do not leave
paper products, cooking utensils, or food in the cavity when
not in use.
17. Do not use this microwave oven to heat corrosive chemicals
(for example, sulfides and chlorides). Vapours from such
corrosive chemicals may interact with the contact and springs
of the safety interlock switches thereby rendering them
inoperable.
18. Keep the waveguide cover clean at all times. Wipe the oven
interior with a soft damp cloth after each use. If you leave
grease or fat anywhere in the cavity it may overheat, smoke or
even catch fire when next using the oven.
19. Never heat oil or fat for deep frying as you cannot control the
temperature and doing so may lead to overheating and fire.
20. Liquids, such as water, coffee, or tea are able to be
overheated beyond the boiling point without appearing to be
boiling due to surface tension of the liquid. Visible bubbling or
boiling when the container is removed from the microwave
oven is not always present. THIS COULD RESULT IN VERY
HOT LIQUIDS SUDDENLY BOILING OVER WHEN A
SPOON OR OTHER UTENSIL IS INSERTED INTO THE
LIQUID. To reduce the risk of injury to persons:
1 Do not overheat the liquid.
2 Stir the liquid both before and halfway through heating it
3 Do not use straight-sided containers with narrow necks.
4 After heating, allow the container to stand in the microwave oven
for a short time before removing the container.
5 Use extreme care when inserting a spoon or other utensil into the
container.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
When using electrical apliances, basic safety precautions should be followed, including the following:
WARNING-To reduce the risk of burns, electric shock, fire, injury to persons or exposure to excessive microwave energy:
3-1
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.
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 glass tray in place. Be sure
it is properly sitting on the rotating base.
5. Make sure you remove caps or lids prior to cooking when you
cook food sealed in bottles.
6. Do not put foreign material between the oven surface and door.
It could result in excessive leakage of microwave energy.
7. Do not use recycled paper products for cooking. They may
contain impurities which could cause sparks and/or fires when
used during cooking.
8. Do not pop popcorn unless popped in a microwave approved
popcorn popper or unless it's commercially packaged and
recommended especially for microwave ovens. Microwave
popped corn produces a lower yield than conventional popping;
there will be a number of unpopped kernels. Do not use oil
unless specified by the manufacturer.
9. 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.
10. Do not pop popcorn longer than the manufacturer's directions.
(popping time is generally below 3 minutes). Longer cooking
does not yield more popped corn, it can cause scorchings and
fire. Also, the cooking tray can become too hot to handle or
may break.
11. If smoke is observed, switch off or unplug the appliance and
keep the door closed in order to stifle any flames.
12. When heating food in plastic or paper containers, keep an eye
on the oven due to the possibility of ignition.
13. The contents of feeding bottles and baby food jars shall be
stirred or shaken and the temperature checked before
consumption, in order to avoid burns.
14. Always test the temperature of food or drink which has been
heated in a microwave oven before you give it to somebody,
especially to children or elderly people. This is important
because things which have been heated in a microwave oven
carry on getting hotter even though the microwave oven
cooking has stopped.
15. Eggs in their shell and whole hard-boiled eggs should not be
heated in microwave ovens since they may explode, even
after microwave heating has ended;
16. Keep the waveguide cover clean at all times. Wipe the oven
interior with a soft damp cloth after each use. If you leave
grease or fat anywhere in the cavity it may overheat, smoke or
even catch fire when next using the oven.
17. Never heat oil or fat for deep frying as you cannot control the
temperature and doing so may lead to overheating and fire.
18. Microwave heating of beverages can result in delayed eruptive
boiling, therefore care must be taken when handling the
container.
General Use
READ CAREFULLY AND KEEP FOR FUTURE REFERENCE
WARNING : To prevent fire, burns, electric shock and other warnings:
Listed below are, as with all appliances, certain rules to follow and safeguards to assure high performance from this oven:
TO AVOID EXPLOSION AND SUDDEN BOILIING
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.
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).

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.

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.
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.
Before use, the user should check that utensils are suitable for use in microwave ovens.
