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.  
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 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.

instruction concerning use of the appliance  
by a person responsible for their safety.  
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.  
Children should be supervised to make sure  
that they do not play with the appliance.  
Never leave the microwave oven unattended  
while in use.  
Do not block the air vents, this can damage  
the microwave oven and cause poor cooking  
results.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
Warning: liquids and other foods must not  
be heated in sealed containers as they are  
liable to explode.  
Do not cook food directly on the turntable.  
Put food on a suitable plate or in a bowl  
before putting it in the oven.  
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.

Safety instructions  
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.  
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 non-  
food items, or for sterilising purposes.  
Always have the glass  
turntable and turntable  
support in place when  
using the oven.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
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.

Using the auto menus  
Useful tips  
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  
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.  
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.  
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  
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.  
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.  
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.

When cooking has  
finished, four tones will

displayed. Two tones will  
sound every two minutes until the door is  
opened or the 'Cancel' pad is touched.  
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.  
For further information on the Auto menus, please  
see the Auto menu chart on page 12.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
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.

Cleaning and care  
To make sure your microwave oven looks good and  
works well for a long time, you should follow these  
instructions:  
Cooking utensils  
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.  
Unplug from the mains supply before  
cleaning.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
Metal containers should not be used. Microwaves  
cannot penetrate metal, they bounce off any metal  
object and cause arching which resembles lightning.  
Clean the turntable and turntable support  
regularly in warm soapy water.  
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.  
Clean the exterior with a soft damp cloth and  
wipe dry. Do not allow water to seep into the  
air vents.  
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.  
Do not allow the control panel to become  
wet, clean with a soft damp cloth and then  
dry.  
Do not use abrasives, these will damage the  
microwave oven.  
Trouble shooting  
The turntable will not turn  
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 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 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.  
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  
Should the bulb need replacing, please  
consult a qualified technician to have it  
replaced.  
Check the plug is properly inserted into the  
mains socket.  
Is the door closed properly?  
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.  
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.  
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.

Connection to the mains supply  
WARNING- THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED  
This appliance is designed to operate from a mains supply of AC230V ~ 50HZ.  
Check that the voltage marked on the product corresponds with your supply voltage.  
This product is fitted with a 13A plug complying with BS1363.  
If this plug is unsuitable or needs to be replaced, please note  
the following:Important: The wires in the mains lead are  
Coloured in accordance with the following code:  
GREEN/YELLOW-EARTH  
BLUE-NEUTRAL  
BROWN-LIVE  
For UK use only – Plug fitting details (where applicable):  
As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this appliance may not correspond with the coloured  
markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:  
The GREEN/YELLOW wire is the EARTH and must be connected to the  
terminal which is marked with  
the letter E or by the earth symbol  
or coloured GREEN or GREEN/YELLOW.  
The BLUE wire is the NEUTRAL and must be connected to the terminal  
marked with the letter N or coloured BLACK.  
The BROWN wire is the LIVE wire and must be connected to the terminal  
marked with the letter L or coloured RED.  
Always ensure that the plug cord grip is fastened correctly.
