Safety Precautions (continued)
f
e
Installing Your Microwave oven
GB
• A risk of delayed eruptive boiling exists.
• To prevent delayed boiling and possible scalding, you should put a plastic
spoon or glass stick into the beverages and stir before, during and after
heating.
Reason:
• In the event of scalding, follow these FIRST AID instructions:
* Immerse the scalded area in cold water for at least 10 minutes.
* Cover with a clean, dry dressing.
* Do not apply any creams, oils or lotions.
• NEVER fill the container to the top and choose a container that is wider at
the top than at the bottom to prevent the liquid from boiling over. Bottles
with narrow necks may also explode if overheated.
• ALWAYS check the temperature of baby food or milk before giving it to
the baby.
• NEVER heat a baby’s bottle with the teat on, as the bottle may explode if
overheated.
9. Be careful not to damage the power cable.
• Do not immerse the power cable or plug in water and keep the power
cable away from heated surfaces.
• Do not operate this appliance if it has a damaged power cable or plug.
10. Stand at arm’s length from the oven when opening the door.
Reason:
11. Keep the inside of the oven clean.
Reason:
12. You may notice a “Clicking” sound during operation(especially when the oven
is defrosting).
Reason
13. When the microwave oven is operating without any load, the power will be cut
off automatically for safety. You can operate normally after letting it stand for
over 30 minutes.
During the heating of liquids the boiling point can be delayed;
this means that eruptive boiling can start after the container is
removed from the oven. You may scald yourself.
The hot air or steam released may cause scalding.
Food particles or spattered oils stuck to oven walls or floor can
cause paint damage and reduce the effi cien cy of the ove n.
: This sound is normal when the electrical power output is changing.
Place the oven on a flat, level surface that strong enough to safely bear

Installation & W iring Instructions
Wiring Instructions
IMPORTANT NOTE :
GB
The mains lead on this equipment is supplied with a mouldedplug incorporating a
fuse.
The value of the fuse is indicated on the pin face of the plug and, if it requires
replacing, a fuse approved to BS1363 of the same rating must be used.
Never use the plug with the fuse cover omitted if the cover is detachable. If a
replacement fuse cover is required, it must be of t he same colour as the pi n face of
the plug.
Replacement covers are available from your Dealer. If the fitted plug is not suitable
for the power points in your house or the cable is not long enough to reach a
power point, you should obtain a suitable safety ap pr ove d ex te nsi on lead or
consult your Dealer for assistance. However, if there is no alternative to cutting off
the plug, remove the fuse and then safely dispose of the plug. Do not connect the
plug to a mains socket, as there is a risk of shock hazard from the bared flexible
cord.
WARNING THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED.
This appliance must be earthed. In the event of an electrical short circuit, earthing
reduces the risk of electric shock providing an escape wire for t he electr ic current.
The appliance is equipped with a mains lead which includes an earth wire for
connecting to the earth terminal of your mains plug. The plug must be plugged into
a socket that is properly installed and earthed.
☛ The wires in this mains lead are coloured in accordance with the
following code:
• Green-and yellow : Earth
• Blue : Neutral
•Brown : Live
◆ As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this appliance may not
correspond with the coloured markings indentifying the t erminals in your plug,
proceed as follows.
◆ Connect the green-and yellow wire to the terminal in the plug marked with the
letter E or the earth symbol ( ) or coloured green or green-and-yellow.
◆ Connect the blue wire to the terminal marked with the letter N or coloured
black.
☛ Consult a qualified electrician or service technician if in doubt
about any of these instructions.
The manufacturer of this oven will not accept any liability for
damage to persons or material for non observance of these
requirements.
There are no user+serviceable parts inside the oven and if the
mains lead of this appliance is damaged, it must only be replaced
by qualified service personnel approved by the manufacturer
because special tools are required.
WARNING
Ensure that the plug and power cord are not
damaged before use.
If you have any reason to remove the moulded plug
from this appliance, immediately remove the fuse
and dispose of the plug.
Do not connect the plug to a mains socket under any
circumstances as there is a danger of electr ic sho ck.
CIRCUITS
Your microwave oven should be operated on a
separate circuit from other appliances. Failure to do
this may cause the circuit breaker to trip, the fuse to
blow, or the food to cook more slowly.

Cooking Instructions On Food Packaging
Cooking Instructions
Microwave Symbols
On the front of your oven there is a microwave oven symbol, as shown below.
This symbol has been introduced for your bene f it wh en coo kin g or reh ea ting
packaged food.
Packaged food is also, increasingly, using a microwave symbol similar to the one
below.
When you see this
Symbol on food packaging, the cooking instructions are based on either the IEC
Power Output Rating, or the Reheating Categories A, B, C, D or E.
The IEC Power Output rating is an internationally standardised rating, so all
microwave manufacturers now use the same method of measuring power output.
If food packaging gives cooking instructions based on IEC Power ratings, set
cooking times according to the IEC Power of your oven.
For example :
If the cooking instructions are based on a 650W oven, then you will need to reduce
some cooking time for the M183DN (850W)
Ready meals are now very convenient and popular. These are meals which are
already prepared and cooked by the food manufacturer, and then frozen, chilled or
vacuum sealed for long life.
Increasingly, heating times for such ready meals are being based on the Heating
Categories A, B, C, D and E.
On this instance, simply match the heating category of your oven to the
instructions on the food package, and set your timer accordingly.
For example :
If the heating instructions are 3 minutes on HIGH for a D category oven, then you
will need to set your timer for less than 3 minutes on HIGH for the M183DN (E
category).
☛ Always remember that cooking instructions are intended only as a
guide. If you have followed the instructions and the food is still not
piping hot throughout, simply return it to the oven and cook it until
it is.
