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
4
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.

1. Read all instructions before using
the appliance and keep for future
reference.
2. Use this appliance only for its
intended use as described in this
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.
18. This appliance is not intended for
use by persons (including children)
with reduced physical, sensory or
mental capabilities, or lack of expe
rience and knowledge, unless
they have been given supervision

and baby food jars shall be stirred
or shaken and the temperature
checked before consumption in
order to avoid burns.
WARNING: Do not attempt to tamper with, or make any adjustments or repairs
to the door, control panel, safety interlock switches or any other part of the
oven. It is hazardous for anyone to carry out any service or repair operation
which involves the removal of any cover which gives protection against
exposure to microwave energy. Repairs should only be undertaken by a
qualified service technician.

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.
