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 moulded 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.
The plug contains a removable fuse cover that must be refitted when the fuse is replaced. In the event of the fuse cover being lost or damaged, the plug must not be used until a replacement cover has been obtained.
If the moulded mains plug is unsuitable for the socket outlet in your home or is removed for any other reason, then the fuse should be removed and the cut off plug 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.

PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY
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 let water or any other liquid enter the oven through the ventilation slots. 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 does not work as expected or the mains lead is damaged or the unit is damaged in any way. It is particularly important that the oven door closes properly and that there is no damage to the door (bent), or hinges and latches (broken or loosened), or the door seals and sealing surfaces. The oven should not be adjusted or repaired by anyone except qualified personnel. Read these instructions carefully and keep them for future reference. Only use utensils that are suitable for use in microwave ovens. When heating food in plastic or paper containers keep an eye on the oven due to the possibility of ignition. If smoke is observed, switch off or unplug the appliance and keep the door closed in order to stifle any flames.
IMPORTANT SAFETY WARNINGS: Microwave heating of liquids can result in delayed eruptive boiling; therefore care must be taken when handling the container. The contents of feeding bottles and baby food jars shall be stirred or shaken and the temperature checked before consumption, in order to avoid burns. Eggs in their shell and whole hard-boiled eggs should not be heated in microwave ovens since they may explode, even after microwave heating has ended. The oven should be cleaned regularly and any food deposits removed. 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. Only use a temperature probe recommended for this oven. Avoid using straight-sided containers with narrow necks. Stir the liquid before placing the container in the oven and again halfway through the heating time. After heating, allow to stand in the oven for a short time. Stir or shake the
3
contents (especially feeding bottles and baby foods) and carefully check the temperature before use.
WARNINGS: If the door to 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 operation that involves the removal of a cover which gives protection against exposure to microwave energy. Liquids and other foods must not be heated in sealed containers 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. When the microwave is switched off it is NOT disconnected from the mains, to do this you must remove the plug from the mains supply outlet. The plug shall be the main disconnect device and shall remain operable at all times.

Round/oval dishes rather than square/oblong ones are recommended, as food in corners tends to overcook. Narrow strips of aluminium foil may be used to prevent overcooking of exposed areas. But be careful not to use too much and keep a distance of 1 inch (2.54cm) between foil and cavity.

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 instructions 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.
4. Some foods should not be completely thawed before cooking. For example,
fish cooks so quickly that it is sometimes better to begin cooking while still slightly frozen.
5. It may be necessary to increase or decrease the cooking time in some
recipes, depending on the starting temperature of the food.
Note: Air from the vent may become warm during cooking.
Browning:
There are a few foods which are not cooked long enough in the microwave oven to brown and may need additional colour. Coatings such as paprika and browning agents such as Worcestershire sauce may be used on chops, meat patties or chicken pieces. Roasts, poultry or ham, cooked for 10-15 minutes or longer, will brown without extra additives.
