BEFORE YOU CALL FOR SERVICE
If the oven fails to operate:
a) Check to ensure that the microwave oven is plugged in securely. If it is not, switch off the power, remove
the plug from the outlet, wait 10 seconds and plug it in again securely.
b) Check for a blown circuit fuse or a tripped main circuit breaker. If these seem to be operating properly,
test the outlet with another appliance.
c) Check to ensure that the control panel is programmed correctly and the timer is set.
d) Check to ensure that the door is securely closed engaging the door safety lock system. Otherwise, the
microwave energy will not flow into the oven.
IF NONE OF THE ABOVE RECTIFY THE SITUATION, THEN CONTACT AN MEA QUALIFIED SERVICE AGENT
(REFER TO PAGE 12). DO NOT TRY TO ADJUST OR REPAIR THE OVEN YOURSELF.
INSTALLATION
1. Make sure that all the packing materials are removed from the inside of the door.
2. WARNING: Check the oven for any damage, such as misaligned or bent door, damaged door seals and
sealing surface, broken or loose door hinges and latches and dents inside the cavity or on the door. If there
is any damage, do not operate the oven and contact an MEA Qualified Service Agent (refer to page 12).
3. This microwave oven must be placed on a flat, stable surface to hold its weight and the heaviest food likely
to be cooked in the oven.
4. Do not place the oven where heat, moisture or high humidity are generated, or near combustible materials.
5. For correct operation, the oven must have sufficient airflow. In an open freestanding situation, allow 20mm
of space from any overhead obstruction and 10mm from a back wall and 5mm from any side walls. If
more than one side of the appliance is closed in, then installation is as per a "built-in" installation requiring
adequate venting. The specification requirements for "built-in" installations are detailed in the Blanco
Specification Book, and require the purchase of a trim kit and vented cabinetry design.
6. Do not operate the oven without glass tray, roller support, and shaft in their proper positions.
7. Make sure that the power supply cord is undamaged and does not run under the oven or over any hot or
sharp surface.
8. The power socket must be readily accessible so that it can be easily unplugged in an emergency.
9. Do not use the oven outdoors.
EARTHING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be earthed. The microwave oven is equipped with a cord which has an earth wire and an
earth plug. It must be plugged into a wall receptacle that is properly installed and earthed. In the event of an
electrical short circuit, earthing reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric
current. It is recommended that a separate circuit, serving only the oven, be provided. Using a high voltage is
dangerous and may result in a fire or other accident causing damage to the oven.
WARNING: Improper use of the earthing plug can increase the risk of electric shock.
Notes: 1. If you have any questions about the earthing or electrical instructions, consult an MEA Qualified
Service Agent (refer to page 12).
2. Neither the manufacturer nor the distributor can accept any liability for damage to the oven or
personal injury resulting from failure to observe the electrical connection procedures.
THE WIRES IN THIS MAINS CABLE ARE COLOURED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE
FOLLOWING CODE:
Green and Yellow = EARTH
Blue = NEUTRAL
Brown = LIVE

MICROWAVE COOKING PRINCIPLES
1. Arrange food carefully. Place thickest areas towards outside of dish.
2. Watch cooking time. Cook for the minimum amount of time indicated and increase cooking time if
necessary. Food which has been severely overcooked can smoke or ignite.
3. Cover foods while cooking to prevent spattering and to help foods cook evenly.
4. Turn foods over once during microwaving to speed up cooking. Large items such as roasts must be turned
over at least once.
5. Rearrange foods such as meatballs halfway through cooking. Place those on the bottom of the dish at the
top and those in the centre of the dish to the outside.
MICROWAVE SAFE CONTAINERS
1. The ideal material of a microwave container is transparent. This allows energy to pass through the container
and to heat the food.
2. Microwave oven energy can not penetrate metal, so metal utensils or dishes with metallic trim should not
be used.
3. Do not use recycled paper products eg. paper towels, when microwave cooking, as they may contain
small metal fragments which may cause sparks and/or fires.
4. Round/oval dishes rather than square/oblong ones are recommend, as food in corners tends to overcook.
5. Narrow strips of aluminum foil may be used to prevent overcooking of exposed areas. Be careful not to use
too much foil and keep a distance of 1 inch (2.54cm) between foil and cavity.
The list below is a general guide to help you select the correct microwave safe products.
