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 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 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 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.

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.

Disconnect the electrical supply to the oven before cleaning.
General Advice
Frequent cleaning prevents smoke and bad odours during cooking and also sparking in the oven cavity and around the door seal. Do not let food deposits or grease accumulate inside the oven cavity or on the door seal. If your microwave oven is fitted with a waveguide cover (usually located inside the oven cavity on the right side wall) it must be kept clean at all times, should food deposits or grease be allowed to accumulate on the cover, sparking will occur and may damage your oven invalidating the warranty.
Oven Door
Remove any food deposits and grease between the door seal and oven cavity using a damp cloth, it is important to keep this area clean at all times.
Interior Walls
Remove any grease splashes from the oven cavity walls with soap and water, then rinse and dry. The door seal and oven cavity have to be particularly well cleaned to ensure the door will close properly and to avoid sparking between the oven cavity and door assembly. Do not use abrasive products such as scouring pads which will damage the surfaces of the oven cavity and door.
Only warm soapy water must be used to clean stainless steels surfaces.
Outer Surfaces
To clean the outside surface, use a damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive products such as scouring pads that may damage the cosmetic surfaces. Make sure water does not seep into the ventilation slots.
Accessories should be washed in warm soapy water by hand.
CAUTION
Some waveguide covers can be easily damaged take care when cleaning. Do not wash accessories in a dishwasher.
WARNINGS: If the inside of the oven cavity and door seal are not kept scrupulously clean there is a danger of damage due to sparking inside the oven cavity invalidating the warranty. Never scrape the oven cavity walls with sharp objects. Never immerse the appliance, its cord or plug in water or any other

QQUUEESSTTIIOONNSS AANNDD AANNSSWWEERRSS
Q. What is wrong when the oven light will not glow? A. * Light bulb has blown.
*Door not closed.
Q. Why is steam coming out of the air exhaust vent and/or why is water
dripping from the bottom of the door?
A. Steam is normally produced during cooking operations. This microwave
oven has been made to vent this steam out of the side and top vents, occasionally this steam condenses on the door and water then drips out at the bottom of the door. This is quite normal and safe.
Q. Does microwave energy pass through the viewing screen in the door? A. No. The screen reflects the energy to the oven cavity, the holes, or ports are
made to allow light to pass, they do not let microwave energy through.
Q. Will the microwave oven be damaged if it operates while empty? A. Yes. Never run it empty.
Q. Why do eggs sometimes pop? A. When baking or poaching eggs, the yolk may pop due to steam build-up
inside the yolk membrane. To prevent this, simply pierce the yolk with a toothpick before cooking. Never cook eggs without piercing their shells.
13
Page 15
Q. Why is standing time recommended after the cooking operation has been
completed? A. Standing time is very important. With microwave cooking, the heat is in the food, not in the oven. Many foods
build up enough internal heat to allow the cooking process to continue, even
after the food is removed from the oven. Standing time for joints of meat,
large vegetables and cakes is to allow the inside to cook completely, without
overcooking the outside.
Q. Why does my oven not always cook fast as the microwave cooking guide
says? A. Check your cooking guide again, to make sure you’ve followed directions
exactly and to see what might cause variations in cooking times. Cooking
guide times and heat settings are suggestions, to help prevent overcooking
the most common problem in getting used to a microwave oven. Variations
in the size, shape and weights could require longer cooking time. Use your
own judgement along with the cooking guide suggestions to check whether
the food has been properly cooked just as you would do with a conventional
cooker.
Q. Why do sparks and crackling (arcing) occur in the oven? A. There may be several reasons why sparks and crackling (arcing) within the
cavity happens. * You have left a fork or other metal utensils in the oven. * You are using dishes with metal parts or trim (silver or gold). * You are using a large amount of metal foil. * You are using a metal twist tie.

Normal
Microwave oven interfering TV reception
Radio and TV reception may be affected when the microwave oven is operating. It is similar to the interference of small electrical appliances, like mixer, vacuum cleaner and electric fan. It is normal.
Dim oven light In low power microwave cooking, the oven
light may become dim. It is normal. Steam accumulating on door, hot air out of vents
In cooking, steam may come out of food.
Most will escape from the vents. But some
may accumulate on a cool place like the
oven door. It is normal. Oven started accidentally with no food in.
It is forbidden to run the unit without any
food inside. It is very dangerous.

Refer to the following short checklist. You may find that the problem you are experiencing has nothing to do with the microwave oven itself. A couple of quick checks may save you an unnecessary service call.
Problem
The oven doesn’t work at all.
Check the following
- The mains plug is securely plugged into the mains socket.
- The door is firmly closed and the door hooks are not broken.
- The cooking time is set on the timer selector control.
- The fuse in the mains plug has blown.
- The mains circuit breaker in the home has tripped.
Problem
“Arcing” or sparking in the oven interior.
Check the following
- Any dishes, trays etc which are made of metal or have metal trims must not be used in the microwave oven.
- Metal skewers should be covered with food and make sure they don’t touch the sides of the oven interior when rotating. If “arcing” occurs again, remove skewers until food is cooked.
- Remove any other metal cookware.
