The oven cannot be operated with the door open due to the safety interlocks built in the door mechanism which switch off cooking functions when the door is opened. Operating the oven with the door open could result in harmful exposure to microwave energy. It is important not to tamper with the door mechanism.
Do not place any object between the oven front face and the door or allow soil or cleaner residue to accumulate on sealing surfaces.
Do not operate the oven if it is damaged. It is particularly important that the oven door closes properly and that there is no damage to the (1) door
(bent), (2) hinges and latches (broken or loosened), (3) door seals and sealing surfaces.
The oven should not be adjusted or repaired by anyone except qualified personnel.
WARNING
When heating liquids, e.g. soups, sauces and beverages in your microwave oven, delayed eruptive boiling can occur without evidence of bubbling. This
could result in a sudden boil over of the hot liquid. To prevent this possibility the following steps should be taken.
Avoid using straight-sided containers with narrow necks. Do not overheat. Stir the liquid before placing the container in the oven and again halfway th
rough the heating time. After heating, allow to stand in the oven for a short time. Stir or shake the
contents (especially feeding bottles and baby foods) and carefully check the temperature before use.
If the door or door seals are damaged, the oven must not be operated until it has been repaired by a competent person.
It is hazardous for anyone other than a competent person to carry out any service or repair that involves the removal of a cover which gives protection against exposure to microwave energy.

Liquids or other foods must not be heated in a sealed container since they are liable to explode.
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.
This appliance is intended for domestic use only, any other use may invalidate the warranty and might be dangerous.

For your safety please read the following information.
Warning: This appliance must be earthed.
The appliance must be connected to a 230-240 volts 50 cycle AC supply by means of a three-pin socket and should be protected by a 13-amp fuse in the plug.
The appliance is supplied with a rewireable 13 amp 3 pin plug fitted with a 13 amp fuse. Should the fuse require replacement, it must be replaced
with a fuse rated at 13 amp and approved to BS1362. If the mains plug is unsuitable for the socket outlet in your home or is
removed for any other reason, then the old plug should be disposed of safely to prevent the hazard of electric shock.
There is a danger of electric shock if the old plug is inserted into any 13-amp socket outlet.
How to wire a 13 amp plug
Important The wires in the mains lead on this appliance are coloured in accordance
with the following code: Green and Yellow - Earth
Blue – Neutral Brown – Live

As the colours may not correspond with the markings identifying the terminals in your plug proceed as follows.
The green and yellow wire must be connected to the terminal in the plug which is marked with the letter E or with the earth symbol or coloured green and yellow. The blue wire must be connected to the terminal marked N. The brown wire must be connected to the terminal marked L. You must make sure the lead is firmly secured under the cord clamp.

manual. Do not use corrosive che micals or vapours in this
appliance. This type of oven is specifically designed to heat, cook
or dry food. It is not designed for industrial or laboratory use.
3. Do not operate the oven when empty. It is best to leave a glass
of water in the oven when not in use. The water will safely absorb all microwave energy if the oven
is accidentally started.
4. Do not operate this appliance if it has a damaged cord or plug, if it
is not working properly or if it has been damaged or dropped. If the
mains lead is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified person with a lead of the
same type and rating to avoid a hazard
5. Do not dry clothes in the oven. They may become carbonised or burned if heated too long.
6. Do not cook food wrapped in paper towels, unless your cookbook contains instructions for the food you are cooking.
7. Do not use the oven for drying kitchen towels or paper products.
They may burn.
8. Do not use wooden or cardboard containers. They may heat up and char.
9. Do not use recycled paper product s since they may contain impurities which may cause sparks and / or fires when used in cooking.
10. Allow the turntable to cool before cleaning.
11. Small amounts of food requires shorter cooking or heating time. If
normal time is allowed they may overheat and burn.
12. Before cooking, pierce the skin of fruit and vegetables.
13. Do not cook eggs in their shell or boiled eggs. Pressure will build up inside the egg and the egg will burst.
14. Do not attempt deep fat frying in your oven.
15. Remove plastic wrapping from
5
food before cooking or defrosting. Note though that in some cases
food should be covered with plastic film, for heating or cooking, as detailed in microwave cook books.
16. If smoke is observed, switch off or disconnect the oven from the power supply and keep the oven door closed in order to stifle any flames.
17. When food is heated or cooked in disposable containers of plastic, paper or other combustible materials, check the oven frequently due to the possibility of ignition.

1. The ideal material for a microwave utensil is transparent to microwave, it Allows energy to pass through the container and heat the food.
2. Microwave cannot penetrate metal, so metal utensils and utensils with metallic trim should not be used in the microwave oven.
3. Paper napkins, towels, plates, cups, cartons and cardboard can be used in the microwave oven. Do not use recycled paper products since they may contain impurities which may cause sparks and / or fires when used in cooking. (consult a microwave cookbook for correct use of these products.)
4. Plastic dishes, cups, freezer bags, and plastic wraps may be used in the microwave oven. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions or the information given in the microwave cookbook when using plastics in the microwave oven.
5. If the use of aluminium foil, skewers, or utensils containing metal in the oven is specified in the recipe; allow at least 2.5cm clearance between the
metal object and the interior oven wall. If arcing (sparks) occurs, remove immediately.
Notes: z Care should be taken when removing utensils or the glass turntable, as they
may become hot during cooking.
z Only use a thermometer that is designed for use in the microwave oven. z Ensure the turntable is in place when you operate the oven.

For best results and more enjoyable cooking, please read these comments thoroughly.
For Best Results:
1. When determining the time for a particular food, begin by using minimum time and checking condition occasionally. It is easy to overcook food because mi­crowaves cook very quickly.
2. Small quantities of food or foods with low water content may dry out and be­come hard if cooked too long.
Defrosting Frozen Food:
1. Foods that have been frozen can be place directly in the oven for thawing. (Be certain to remove any metallic ties or wraps).
2. Defrost according to the Defrosting Tips found in this manual.
3. For areas of the food thawing faster than others, cover with small pieces of aluminum foil. This helps slow down or stop the defrosting process.
