INSTALLATION
Prior to connecting
Check that the voltage on the rating plate corresponds to the voltage in your home.
•Do not remove the microwave inlet protection plates located on the side of the oven cavity wall. They prevent grease & food particles from entering the microwave inlet channels.
•Place the oven on a stable, even surface that is strong enough to hold the oven and the food utensils you put in it. Use care when handling.
•Position the oven at a distance from other he-
ating sources. For sufficient ventilation there must be a space of at
least 30 cm above the oven. Ensure that the space underneath, above and around the

microwave oven shall not be placed in a cabinet.
•Ensure that the appliance is not damaged.
Check that the oven door closes firmly against the door support. Empty the oven and clean the interior with a soft, damp cloth.
Do not operate this appliance if it has a dama-
ged mains cord or plug, if it is not working properly, or if it has been damaged or dropped. Do not immerse the mains cord or plug in water. Keep the cord away from hot surfaces. Electrical shock, fire or other hazards may result.
•Do not use extension cord: If the power supply cord is too short, have a qualified electrician or serviceman install an outlet near the appliance.

DEEP-FRYING
•Do not use your microwave oven for deep-frying, because the oil temperature cannot be controlled.
•Use hot pads or oven mitts to prevent burns, when touching containers, oven parts, and pan after cooking. Accessible parts may become hot during use, young children should be kept away.
LIQUIDS
•e.g.beverages or water. Overheating the liquid beyond boiling point 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:
1.Avoid using straight-sided containers with narrow necks.
2.Stir the liquid before placing the container in the oven and let the teaspoon remain in the container.
3.After heating, allow standing for a short time, stirring again before carefully removing the container from the oven.
•After heating baby food or liquids in a baby bottle or in a baby food jar, always stir and check the temperature before serving. This will ensure that the heat is evenly distributed and the risk of scalding or burns can be avoided.
•Ensure the Lid and the Teat is removed before
heating!
ACCESSORIES
GENERAL
There are a number of accessories available on the market. Before you buy, ensure they are suitable for microwave use.
Ensure that the utensils you use are oven proof and allow microwaves to pass through them before cooking. When you put food and accessories in the microwave
oven, ensure that they do not come in contact with the interior of the oven.
This is especially important with accessories made of metal or metal parts.
If accessories containing metal comes in contact with the oven interior, while the oven is in operation, sparking can occur and the oven could be damaged.
Always ensure that the turntable is able to turn freely before starting the oven. If the turntable isn’t able to turn freely you should use a smaller vessel.
TURNTABLE SUPPORT
Use the turntable support under the
Glass turntable. Never put any other utensils on the turntable support.
• Fit the turntable support in the oven.
GLASS TURNTABLE
Use the Glass turntable with all
cooking methods. It collects the
dripping juices and food particles that otherwise would stain and soil the
interior of the oven.
•Place the Glass turntable on the turntable support.
4
Crisp Handle
Use the Crisp Handle to remove the hot Crisp Plate from the oven.
plate COVER (accessory sold separately)
The Cover is used to cover food during cooking and reheating with microwaves only and helps to reduce spattering, retain food moisture as well as reducing the time needed.
Use the cover for two level reheating.
MAINTENANCE & CLEANING
Cleaning is the only maintenance normally required. It must be carried out with the microwave oven di-
sconnected.
Failure to maintain the oven in a clean condition could lead to deterioration of the surface that could adversely affect the life of the appliance and possibly result in a hazardous situation.
Do not use metal scouring pads, abrasive cleansers, steel-wool pads, gritty washcloths, etc. which can damage the control panel, and the interior and exterior oven surfaces. Use a cloth with a mild detergent or a paper towel with spray glass cleaner. Apply spray glass cleaner to a paper towel.
Do not spray directly on the oven. At regular intervals, especially if spill overs have occurred, remove the turntable, the turntable support and
wipe the base of the oven clean.
This oven is designed to operate with the turntable in place.
Do not operate the microwave oven when the turntable has been removed for cleaning.
Use a soft and damp cloth with mild detergent to clean the interior surfaces, front and rear of the door and the door opening.
Do not allow grease or food particles to build up
en
around the door.
For stubborn stains, boil a cup of water in the oven for 2 or 3 minutes. Steam will soften the marks.
Adding some lemon juice to a cup of water, placing this on the turntable and boiling for a few minutes can eliminate odors inside the oven.
Do not use steam cleaning appliances when cleaning your microwave oven.
The oven should be cleaned regularly and any food deposits removed.
The ceiling beneath it may need regular cleaning. This should be done with a soft and damp cloth with mild detergent.
