a suitably approved part.
Do not place items with naked flames or containers with
liquids on this appliance.
The mains plug shall be connected into a mains socket
outlet with a protective earth connection.
All microwaves are tested and approved in accordance with
current electromagnetic safety and compatibility regulations and standards. As a precautionary measure,
pacemaker manufacturers recommend wearers to keep a
minimum distance of 20-30 cm between an operating
microwave oven and the pacemaker in order to avoid
possible interference with the pacemaker. If you suspect
there may be interference, turn the microwave off
immediately and contact the manufacturer of the
pacemaker.

CLEANING
Clean the oven and seals to remove food debris on a weekly
basis and more often if required. Failure to maintain the oven
and seals in a clean condition could lead to deterioration of
the surface or seals, adversely affect the life of the oven and
possibly result in a hazardous situation (possible release of
microwave energy).
Clean the oven after each use, if food is cooked uncovered and
especially if fatty foods are cooked and the grill or convection
functions are used.
1. Switch off, unplug the oven and allow the oven to cool
completely. Cleaning the oven whilst hot may cause glass
door to shatter and risk personal injury.
2. Wipe surfaces and seals with a soft damp cloth (not wet).
Do not use abrasive cleaning products or metal scrapers
to clean the glass door of the oven as this could damage
the surface and cause breakage. Do not immerse in water.
Do not use a steam cleaner.
3. The grill rack, glass turntable and turntable roller can be
washed in hot water with a little washing up liquid. NOT
SUITABLE FOR DISHWASHERS.
4. Always allow surfaces to fully dry before using the oven
again.

GENERAL MICROWAVE COOKING ADVICE
Food cooking times will vary with microwave wattage
(MAFF rating). When following recipes and on pack
cooking instructions always check the MAFF rating /
wattage of the appliance being used (marked on the front
of the microwave) and follow the corresponding cooking
advice. Where the recommended cooking time exceeds 6
minutes, increase the cooking time by 30% when using
this appliance (e.g. if recommended cooking time is 10
minutes, set the appliance cooking time to 13 minutes).
Beverages can result in delayed eruptive boiling; therefore
care must be taken when handling the container.
Remove lids from containers before placing in the
microwave, pierce plastic films and do not use vessels
with sealed or restricted openings since they are liable to
explode.
Pierce the skin or membranes of food (e.g. potatoes,
apples, fish, chicken, eggs) in several places before
cooking. Never cook or heat eggs in their shell or whole
hard boiled eggs, as they may explode even after cooking
has been completed.
Ensure food is similar size and density. Large dense items
take longer to cook than small ones e.g. potatoes take
longer to cook than peas.
Food quantity will affect the cooking time, e.g. two
potatoes take longer than one.
The shape of food will affect the cooking time; place the
thickest part of food on the outside of the plate.
Leave food to stand for a short period after cooking or
defrosting to allow the temperature to become uniform.
