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.
Microwaves pass through the glass turntable and then bounce off the
metal floor, back through the turntable, and are absorbed by the food.
Microwaves may not reach the center of a roast. The heat spreads to the
center from the outer cooked areas just like regular cooking. For this reason
food should stand for a while after cooking.
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 waveguide 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 12.5kg 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.

Warning: to reduce the risk of burns, electric shock,
fire, injury or exposure to excessive microwave
energy:
➢ Use this microwave oven for only its
intended use as described in this instruction
manual.
➢ Do not operate the microwave oven if it has
a damaged power cord or plug, if it is not
working properly, or if it has been damaged
or dropped.
➢ Do not block the air vents, this can damage
the microwave oven and cause poor cooking
results.
➢ 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.
➢ Do not try to deep-fry foods in this oven.
➢ None-microwavable cookware is not suitable
and can be hazardous.
➢ 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.
➢ Do not cook food directly on the turntable.
Put food on a suitable plate or in a bowl
before putting it in the oven.
➢ This appliance is not intended for use by
persons (including children) with reduced
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.
➢ Never leave the microwave oven unattended
while in use.
➢ 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.
➢ Do not store the microwave oven outdoors.
➢ Do not use the microwave oven near water-
for example, near a sink and the like.
➢ Do not immerse the power cord in water.
➢ Do not allow the power cord to hang over
the table or surface.
➢ If the power cord needs replacing, it must be
replaced with a cord of the same type by a
qualified technician.
➢ Keep the power cord away from heated
surfaces.
➢ Do not over cook food, this can result in fire.
➢ Some products such as whole eggs in their
shell and sealed containers, for example,
closed glass jars, may explode and should
not be heated in the microwave oven.
➢ Do not place any objects or allow cleaning
residue to come between the oven face and
the door seals.

➢ Do not store anything
in the oven, such as
papers, cookbooks
and so on. Do not use
the oven for any
reason other than
preparing food, such
as for drying clothes, paper or any other nonfood items, or for sterilising purposes.
➢ Cooking utensils may
become hot because of
heat transferred from
the heated food, 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. 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. You should use
microwave utensils only in line with these
instructions.
➢ 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 remove the teat from feeding
bottles if they need to be reheated.
➢ Do not use the oven
when it is empty. This
could damage the oven.
If you want to practice
the programming of the
oven, put a container of
water in the oven.
➢ Always have the glass
turntable and turntable
support in place when
using the oven.
➢ Never lean on
the microwave
oven door or
allow a child to
swing on it, this
could result in
injury.
➢ Do not over cook
potatoes. This could
result in fire. At the
end of the cooking
time potatoes should
be slightly firm
because they will continue to cook during the
standing time. Remove from the microwave
oven, wrap in tin foil and leave to stand for 5
minutes.
➢ 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.
➢ 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.
➢ 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.

Useful tips
11
When using the auto menu it is important that you
set a weight or amount to determine how long the
food needs to be cooked for, without this food may
be under or over cooked. Please look at the weights
on packaging, if the food is between weights, please
make sure the food is cooked thoroughly before
eating. Never over cook food, this can result in fire.
The result of auto cooking depends on food factors
such as shape and size, and your personal
preference as to how you like your food cooked. How
you place the food on the plate can also effect the
end result. If you find the result not quite satisfactory,
please adjust the cooking time accordingly.
Note: When you are using auto menus '7 Chicken',
'8 Beef' and '9 Skewered meat', two thirds through
the cooking cycle 4 tones will sound. This is to
remind you to turn the food over for even cooking.
Once the food has been turned over, close the door
and touch the 'Start' pad.
The auto menus are featured at the top of the control
panel, there are nine auto menus available. The
'Time/Menu' control lets you choose an auto menu
quickly and easily. Once you have chosen an auto
menu, you will need to set a weight or amount.
For example, if you want to cook 1000g of chicken
using the auto setting:
1 Turn the 'Time/Menu'
control clockwise or
anti-clock until the display
shows 'AUTO 7'.
2 To set the weight, touch
the 'Weight Adjust'
pad twice.
3 Touch the 'Start' pad. The microwave oven
will automatically decide how long it will take
to cook the chicken and the time will start to
count down.
4 When cooking has
finished, four tones will
sound and 'END' will be
displayed. Two tones will
sound every two minutes until the door is
opened or the 'Cancel' pad is touched.
For further information on the Auto menus, please
see the Auto menu chart on page 12.
Child proof lock
The child proof lock prevents unsupervised operation
by children.
To set the child proof lock: Touch the 'Cancel' pad
for approximately 3 seconds, a single tone will sound
and the lock indicator will be displayed.
To cancel the child proof lock: Touch the 'Cancel'
pad for approximately 3 seconds, a single tone will
sound and the lock indicator will disappear.
Standing time
Food still continues to cook by conductive heat
towards the center of the food after it has been
removed from the microwave oven, or after the
microwave oven has been turned off. This is called
standing time. The standing time varies according to
the volume and density of the food.
To retain the heat, large items of foods such as
poultry or meats should be wrapped in tin foil during
the standing time for 10-20 minutes.
Stirring
Stirring is useful because
the food cooks from the
outer edges inward.
Therefore stirring from
the outer edges to the
center during cooking encourages even cooking.
Turning and rotating
It is possible that sometimes
microwave energy is not
distributed evenly in the cavity
of the microwave oven. Foods
such as joints of meat poultry
should be turned over at least
once during cooking.
Arranging food
For best results, arrange food evenly on the plate.
You can do this in several ways:
➢ If you are cooking
more than 1 item,
arrange the food
in a ring for even
cooking.
➢ If you are cooking
foods that are
uneven shapes
and thicknesses,
put the smaller or thinner foods towards the
center of the plate where they will be heated
last.
➢ If you are saving a meal in the refrigerator or
plating a meal for reheating, arrange the
thicker, denser foods to the outside of the
plate and the thinner or less dense foods on
the inside.
➢ Gravy and sauces should be reheated in a
separate container. Choose a tall, narrow
container rather than a low wide container, do
not fill more than two thirds.

Utensils and cooking containers used in a microwave
oven should be of a material that allows microwaves
to pass freely through them. Generally this means
you should use either plastic, glass or ceramic.
Ceramic is an excellent choice, most types of glass
is also very good. Lead crystal can crack, therefore it
should not be used. Coloured glass or decorative
glass should not be used since metal, for example;
gold, might be a part of the decoration and may
cause arching.
Round or oval shaped containers give the most even
cooking. Square containers may over cook food in
the corners due to more energy being absorbed
there.
Metal containers should not be used. Microwaves
cannot penetrate metal, they bounce off any metal
object and cause arching which resembles lightning.
Note: there are a number of microwave oven
accessories available on the market, before you buy,
please make sure they are suitable for microwave
use.
Note: when putting food into the microwave oven,
make sure that the food, food containers or covering
do not come in contact with any of the cavity walls or
ceiling.
To make sure your microwave oven looks good and
works well for a long time, you should follow these
instructions:
➢ Unplug from the mains supply before
cleaning.
➢ Wipe the interior walls, floor and ceiling with
a damp cloth using only a mild detergent.
➢ Be sure to keep the door and door frame
clean at all times.
➢ Always clean under the turntable as any
liquid that may have accumulated will
damage the surface of the microwave oven.
➢ For stubborn marks, boil a cup of water in
the microwave oven for 2 to 3 minutes,
steam will often soften dried on food.
➢ Clean the turntable and turntable support
regularly in warm soapy water.
➢ Clean the exterior with a soft damp cloth and
wipe dry. Do not allow water to seep into the
air vents.
➢ Do not allow the control panel to become
wet, clean with a soft damp cloth and then
dry.
The turntable will not turn
➢ The turntable is not correctly in place. Make
sure the turntable is the correct side up and
sitting on the turntable support.
➢ Check the turntable support is correctly placed.
The display shows the time counting down but
the microwave oven is not cooking
➢ Check you have have selected a power level
between 20% - 100%, and not the kitchen
timer.
The microwave oven does not work
➢ Check the plug is properly inserted into the
mains socket.
➢ Is the door closed properly?
➢ Check the plug fuse and make sure there is
power available.
➢ Unplug from the mains wait 10 minutes
reconnect, and then try to operate the
microwave oven again.
➢ Do not use abrasives, these will damage the
microwave oven.
➢ Remove odours from the microwave oven by
combining a cup of water with the juice of 1
lemon in a deep bowl, microwave for 5
minutes. Wipe thoroughly with a soft dry
cloth.
➢ The oven should be cleaned regularly and
food deposits removed. Failure to maintain
the microwave 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.
➢ Should the bulb need replacing, please
consult a qualified technician to have it
replaced.
Warning: service should only be carried out by a
service technician. It is dangerous for anyone other
than a qualified technician to perform any repair.
➢ The microwave oven may cause interference to
your radio, TV or similar equipment. If it does,
you can get rid of the interference by moving
the radio, TV or equipment as far away from
your microwave oven as possible.
