Installation & wiring instructions

Important note :

The mains lead on this equipment is supplied with a moulded plug 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 the same colour as the pin face of the plug.

Replacement covers are available from your Dealer. If the tted 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 approved extension 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 exible cord.

Wiring instructions

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 the electric 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.

IMPORTANT: 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 terminals 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 (

Connect the blue wire to the terminal marked with the letter N or coloured black.

IMPORTANT: Consult a qualied electrician or service technician if in doubt about any of these instructions.

Cooking instructions on food packaging

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t when cooking or reheating packaged food.

Packaged food is also, increasingly, using a microwave symbol similar to the one below. When you see this

Symbol on food packaging, cooking instructions are based on either the IEC Power Output Rating, or the Reheating Categories A, B, C, D or E.

English

Safety instructions

Cooking instructions

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 650 W oven, then you will need to reduce some cooking time for the MS28J5255** (1000 W).

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 MS28J5255** (E category).

IMPORTANT: 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.

How a microwave oven works

Microwaves are high-frequency electromagnetic waves; the energy released enables food to be cooked or reheated without changing either the form or the colour.

You can use your microwave oven to:

• Defrost

• Reheat

• Cook

Cooking principle.

1. The microwaves generated by the

magnetron reected at cavity and are distributed uniformly as the food rotates on the turntable. The food is thus cooked evenly.

2. The microwaves are absorbed by the

food up to a depth of about 1 inch (2.5cm). Cooking then continues as the heat is dissipated within the food.

3. Cooking times vary according to the

container used and the properties of the food:

• Quantity and density

• Water content

• Initial temperature (refrigerated or not)

IMPORTANT

As the centre of the food is cooked by heat dissipation, cooking continues even when you have taken the food out of the oven. Standing times specied in recipes and in this booklet must therefore be respected to ensure:

• Even cooking of the food right to the centre.

• The same temperature throughout the food.
