About this microwave oven
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 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.

Safety instructions
➢ 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.

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.
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.
Warning: liquids and other foods must not be heated in sealed containers as they are
liable to explode.

Cleaning and care
➢ Before you clean the 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.
➢ You should clean the outside of the oven with a damp cloth and polish dry with a
soft dry cloth. Don’t allow water to seep into the ventilation openings.
➢ Do not allow the control panel to become wet. Clean with a soft, damp cloth. Do
not use detergents, abrasives or spray-on cleaners on the control panel.
➢ 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.
➢ If the inside of the oven smells, put a cup of water with the juice and skin of one
lemon in a deep microwave bowl. Microwave it for three minutes, wipe the cavity
walls thoroughly and then dry with a soft cloth.
➢ 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 condition.
➢ Regularly clean the turntable support and oven floor. Simply wipe the bottom
surface of the oven with mild detergents and water, then dry. You can wash the
turntable support in soapy water.
➢ Regularly remove the glass tray to clean it, and wash in warm soapy water.

Problem solving
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.
If the oven doesn’t work, if the display does not appear or if the display has disappeared
➢ Make sure the oven is plugged in securely. If it is not, remove the plug from the
socket, wait 10 seconds and plug it in again securely.
➢ Check the premises for a blown circuit fuse or a tripped main circuit breaker. If
these seem to be working properly, test the socket with another appliance.
If the microwave power will not work
➢ Make sure the door is securely closed. Otherwise, the microwave energy will not
flow into the oven.
Important utensil information
➢ Do not use metal pans or dishes with metal handles.
➢ Do not use anything with a metal trim.
➢ Do not use paper covered wire twist-ties on plastic bags.
➢ 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 that is approved to be used in a microwave oven.
➢ Do not cook using a container with a restricted opening, such as bottles, as they
may explode.
➢ Do not heat baby bottles with the teat left on and remove the teat if replacing the
bottle back into the oven.
➢ Only use thermometers that are approved for microwave ovens.
➢ Do not use the microwave oven for heating utensils.
