Never put objects into the openings on the outer case.
This appliance can be used by children aged from 8 years

• 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, jam, Christmas pudding, and
mincemeat) which heat up very quickly.
• Microwave heating of beverages 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. Do not heat baby bottles
with the teat left on. Remove it if replacing the bottle back
into the oven.
• 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.
• Do not cook any food surrounded by a membrane, such as egg
yolks, potatoes, chicken livers, sausages, ready meals and so
on without piercing them several times with a fork.
• Do not try to deep-fry foods in this microwave oven.
• Do not overcook food.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
• When heating food in plastic or paper containers, keep an eye
on the oven due to the possibility of ignition.
• If materials inside the oven smoke or catch fire, keep the oven
door closed to stifle the flames, turn the oven off at the wall
switch, or shut the power off at the fuse or circuit-breaker
panel. If smoke is emitted , switch off or unplug the appliance
and keep the door closed in order to stifle any flames.
• Please remember that as food or liquids heat up, they will
release steam or may be spitting. Never cover any container fully,
always leave a gap for steam to escape.
• Do not use plastic containers when heating or cooking foods that
contain a lot of fat or sugar.
• Always have the glass tray and turntable support in place when
using the microwave oven.
• 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.
• When using the grill rack and baking tray, be aware that these
will become HOT during cooking as they aren’t heatproof. Please
use a suitable oven gloves when removing these.
• Do not use melamine dishes as they contain a material
which will absorb microwave energy. This may cause the dishes
to crack or burn, and will slow down the cooking speed.
• Use only cookware & utensils that are approved for use in a
microwave oven.
• Do not use the microwave oven for heating utensils, plates or
dishes.
• Do not cook using a container with a restricted opening,
such as bottles, as they may explode.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
• Before you clean your microwave oven, turn it off and unplug it.
• Keep the inside of the oven clean. When food or liquids stick
to the oven walls, wipe with a damp cloth. We recommend
that you do not use harsh detergent or abrasives.
• On the right hand wall of the cavity is the wave guide cover,
microwaves are passed through this to enable your food to cook. It
is important that this wave guide cover is kept clean at all
times. To do this wipe with mild detergent and water, then dry.
• 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.
• You should clean the outside of the oven with a damp
cloth. Do not allow water to seep into the ventilation openings.
• Do not use harsh abrasive cleaners or sharp metal scrapers to
clean the oven door glass since they can scratch the surface,
which may result in shattering of the glass.
• If steam builds up inside or around the outside of the oven door,
wipe with a soft cloth. This may happen when the microwave oven
is used in humid conditions.
• Regularly remove the glass turntable to clean it, wash it in
warm soapy water or a dishwasher. Regularly clean the turntable
support and oven floor. Simply wipe the bottom surface of the
oven with mild detergent and water, then dry. You can wash
the turntable support in mild soapy water.
• Failure to maintain the oven in a clean condition, especially if
liquid is left under the turntable, could lead to deterioration of
the surface that will adversely affect the life of the appliance
that may result in a hazardous condition.

ABOUT YOUR MICROWAVE
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).
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.
The convection cooking mode allows you to cook food using the unit
as a traditional oven, and the microwave function is not used.
It is recommended that you preheat the oven to the appropriate
temperature before placing the food in the oven.
Microwaves do not make any heat themselves but 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.

UNPACKING THE MICROWAVE
Before you use your microwave oven
1. Remove all the packaging. Do not remove the small piece of card

to pass through to cook the food and stop debris from entering the
mechanical parts.

WIPING WITH A DAMP CLOTH. DO NOT PLACE IN A DISHWASHER.
2. Check the oven after unpacking for any visual damage such as:
