About this microwave oven
1
Microwaves are high-frequency electromagnetic waves similar to radio waves. While radio waves may vary in length from one metre to many kilometres, microwaves are very short (less than 12.5 centimetres). Microwaves do not make any heat themselves but only cause water molecules in food to vibrate. This vibration produces heat that cooks the food. This is why your food will come out of the microwave piping hot, when your utensils inside the oven stay much cooler. The microwaves do not stay in the air or in the food when you open the microwave oven door.
The microwave oven will work using an ordinary household electrical socket. Inside the microwave oven is the magnetron, which turns the electrical energy into microwaves. Microwaves cannot go through metal, so the inside of the oven is lined with metal. The door is lined with a fine metal mesh which stops microwaves getting through. This means that when the microwave oven door is shut, there is no possibility that microwaves can be released. This is why the microwave oven has been made so that it will not work when the door is open.
Before you use your microwave oven
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.
2 Check 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
● If you can see any damage do not use the oven
This microwave oven weighs approximately 10.8kg so you must put it on a horizontal surface that is strong enough to support this weight.
The oven must be placed away from high temperatures and steam.
Do not put anything on the top of the microwave oven.
Only use the accessories supplied by the manufacturer.
Safety instructions
2
➢ Do not use the oven for any reason other than preparing food, such as for drying
clothes, paper or any other non-food items, or for sterilising purposes.
➢ Do not use the oven when it is empty. This could damage the oven. ➢ Do not store anything in the oven, such as papers, cookbooks and so on. ➢ Do not cook any food surrounded by a membrane, such as egg yolks, potatoes,
chicken livers, ready meals and so on without piercing them several times with a fork.
➢ Never put any objects into the openings on the outer case. ➢ Never remove parts from the oven such as the feet, screws and so on. ➢ You should use microwave utensils only in line with these instructions. ➢ Do not try to deep-fry foods in this oven. ➢ Heat from the contents of a container may be transmitted to the container itself,
so please be careful when removing it from the oven. Please remember that the food or liquid inside will be releasing some steam or will be spitting. Never cover any container fully, always leave a gap for steam to escape.
➢ Cooking utensils may become hot because of heat transferred from the heated
food. This is especially true if plastic wrap has been covering the top and handles of the utensil. You may need oven gloves to handle the utensil.
➢ 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.
➢ Always test the temperature of cooked food, never eat or drink food or liquid
straight from the oven, allow it to stand for a few minutes and stir to distribute the heat evenly.
➢ Food containing a mixture of fat and water (for example, stock) should stand for
30 to 60 seconds in the oven after it has been turned off. This is to allow the mixture to settle and to prevent it from bubbling when a spoon is placed in it, or a stock cube is added.
➢ When heating or cooking food or liquid, remember that there are certain foods
(such as Christmas puddings, jam and mincemeat) which heat up very quickly.
➢ When heating or cooking foods that contain a lot of fat or sugar, do not use
plastic containers.
➢ Always have the glass tray and turntable support in place when using the oven. ➢ Never remove parts from the oven such as the feet, screws and so on. ➢ Do not cook food directly on the glass tray. Put food on a suitable plate or in a
bowl before putting it in the oven.
To reduce the risk of fire in the oven cavity:
● do not overcook food
● do not leave the microwave oven unattended while you are using it
● remove wire twist-ties from bags before putting the bag in the oven
● if materials inside the oven catch fire, keep the oven door closed, turn the oven
off at the wall switch, or shut the power off at the fuse or circuit-breaker panel.
Warning: this oven must be positioned so that the plug is accessible and the plug socket is within easy reach of the power cord.
Warning: children should not use this microwave oven.
➢ This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced
Microwave oven Installation
1. Select a level surface that provides enough space for the outlet vents.
2. A minimum clearance of 3 inches (7.5cm) is required between the oven and any adjacent walls. One side must be open. Leave a minimum clearance of 12 inches (30cm) above the oven.
3. Place the oven as far away from radios and TV's as possible. Using the oven may cause interference with the reception.
4. Plug the oven into a suitable 13amp mains socket, make sure the voltage is the same as on the rating label (do not use extension cables or mains socket adaptors). Warning: do not install the oven over a cooker or other heat producing appliance. This will damage the oven.

physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
➢ Children should be supervised to make sure that they do not play with the
appliance.
Warning: it is hazardous for anyone other than a competent person to carry out any service or repair operation which involves the removal of a cover which gives protection against exposure to microwave energy.
Warning: if the door or door seals are damaged, the oven must not be operated until it has been repaired by a competent person. The door seals are located around the window on the inside of the door. These seals are not airtight, although no microwaves can be released, it is normal for small amounts of air or steam to escape when the oven is in use.
Warning: liquids and other foods must not be heated in sealed containers as they are liable to explode.
