sufficient air flow. Leave a minimum clearance of 30cm above the microwave,

7.5cm behind, 7.5cm at one side and the other side should be kept open.

 Do not place the microwave directly over a cooker or other heating producing

appliance. This will damage the microwave and cause a safety hazard.

 Do not block the air vents on the top, sides or bottom of the microwave. If air vents

are blocked when the microwave is in use it may overheat and damage the unit.

 Place the microwave as far away from radios and TV's as possible. Using the

microwave may cause interference with the reception.

 Plug the microwave into a suitable 13 amp mains socket, make sure the voltage is

the same as on the rating label (do not use extension cables or mains socket
adaptors).

2.4 Before First Use

Before you use your microwave:

1. Remove all the packaging. Do not remove the small piece of card from the right hand
side of the cavity wall. This is called a wave-guide cover and allows the microwaves to pass
through to cook the food. Please ensure you keep this cover clean at all times.

2. Examine the oven after unpacking for any visual damage such as:

 A misaligned door
 Damage to the door
 Dents or holes in the door window and screen
 Dents in the inside
 Damage to the door seals or door seal areas
 Damage to the supply cord
 If you can see any damage do not use the microwave. Please contact retailer

immediately.

1. Check that any securing tape has been removed from the glass turntable and turntable
roller assembly. These parts must never be restricted from rotating.

2. Never place the glass turntable upside down.

3. Do not place the food directly onto the glass turntable, always place on or in suitable
microwaveable cookware.

4. If food or cookware touches the oven walls causing the turntable to stop moving or
become dislodged, open the door and reposition the food/cookware and restart.

5. If the glass turntable is hot, allow to cool before placing in water or cleaning, as
otherwise it may crack or shatter.

6. Only use the glass turntable specifically designed for this microwave. Do not substitute
