Important Safety instructions.

• The built-in safety interlock switches prevent the microwave oven from operating when the door is open.
• Do not tamper with them, or attempt to operate the oven with the door open as open door operation can result in exposure to microwave energy.
• Do not allow food spills or cleaner residue to accumulate on door sealing surfaces. See the Cleaning and Care section for cleaning instructions.
• It is particularly important that the oven door closes properly and that there is no damage to the: (1) door (warped), (2) hinges and latches (broken or insecure), (3) door seals and sealing surface. If the door, hinges/latches or door seals are damaged, the microwave must not be operated until it has been repaired by a authorised service person.

It is hazardous for anyone except factory trained service personnel to service or make adjustments to this oven. Contact your nearest authorised service agent if service should be required.

• Do not remove the outer case, door or control panel at any time. Doing so may cause exposure to extremely high voltage.
• Install or locate this oven only in accordance with ‘installation instructions’ found in this manual.
• Use the appliance for its intended use as described in this manual. Do not use corrosive chemicals in this appliance. This type of oven is specifically designed to heat, cook, or defrost food. It is not designed for industrial or laboratory use neither for commercial use as this will invalidate the guarantee.
• Do not operate the oven empty. If food or water is not present to absorb the microwave energy, the magnetron tube can be damaged.
• Do not store this appliance outdoors. Do not use this product near water.
• Do not attempt to dry clothing or newspapers in the microwave oven. These items can ignite. Do not use the cavity for storage purposes. Do not leave paper products, cooking utensils, or food in the cavity when not in use.

If smoke is observed, switch off or unplug the appliance and keep the door closed in order to stifle any flames. Never use water.

Only allow children to use the microwave, without supervision, when adequate instructions have been given so that the child is able to use the microwave in a safe way and understand the hazards of improper use.

Utensil safety

- Most glass, glass ceramic and heat-resistant glass-ware utensils are excellent for use in the micro-wave oven. Although microwave energy will not heat most glass and ceramic items, these utensils can become hot as heat transfers from the food to the container. The use of oven gloves to remove dishes is recommended.

Testing suitability of cookware

• Place the cookware in the microwave along with a glass half full of water. Heat on Hi W (1000W) (100%) for one minute. If the cookware feels hot, you should not use it. If it is just slightly warm, you can use it for reheating but not for cooking. If the dish is room temperature, it is suitable for microwave cooking.
• Paper napkins, wax paper, paper towels, plates, cups, cartons, freezer wrap and cardboard are great convenience utensils. Always be sure containers are filled with food to absorb energy and thus avoid the possibility of overheating.
• Many plastic dishes, cups, freezer containers and plastic wraps may be used in the microwave oven. Follow manufacturer's instructions when using plastics in the oven. Avoid using plastic utensils with foods that have high fat or sugar content since these foods reach high temperatures and could melt some plastics.
• Do not leave oven unattended, and look at it from time to time when heating or cooking food in plastic, paper or other combustible containers. If smoke is observed, keep door closed, switch the oven off or disconnect oven until smoke stops.
• Metal utensils and utensils with metallic trim should not be used in the microwave oven, unless specifically recommended for microwave use.
• Containers with restricted openings, such as bottles, should not be used for microwave cooking.
• Use caution when removing a lid or cover from a dish to avoid steam burns.

Foil containers

Shallow foil containers may safely be used to reheat foods in your microwave oven providing the following rules are observed:

• Foil containers should not be more than 3 cms (1 1/4") deep.
• Foil lids must not be used.
• The foil containers must be at least two-thirds full of food. Empty containers must never be used.
• Foil containers should be used singly in the microwave oven and should not be allowed to touch the sides. If your oven has a metal turntable or cooking rack, the foil container should be placed on an upturned oven-proof plate.
• Foil containers should never be re-used in the microwave oven.
• If the microwave oven has been in use for 15 minutes or more, allow it to cool before using it again.
• The container and turntable may become hot during use, take great care when removing either from the oven. It is advisable to use an oven cloth or glove when doing so.
• Remember when using an aluminium foil container that the reheating or cooking times may be longer than you are used to, always ensure that the food is piping hot before serving.

Food safety

• Do not heat food in a can in the microwave oven. Always remove the food to a suitable container.
• Deep fat frying should not be done in the microwave oven, because the fat temperature cannot be controlled, hazardous situations can result.
• Popcorn may be prepared in the microwave oven, but only in special packages or utensils designed specifically for this purpose. This cooking operation should never be unattended.
• Pierce foods with non-porous skins or membranes to prevent steam build-up and bursting. Apples, potatoes, chicken livers, and egg yolks are examples of items that should be pierced.

• The contents of feeding bottles and baby food jars are to be stirred or shaken and the temperature is to be checked before consumption, in order to avoid burns. When heating liquids, e.g. soups, sauces and beverages in your microwave oven, overheating the liquid beyond boiling point can occur without evidence of bubbling. This could result in a sudden boil over of the hot liquid. To prevent this possibility the following steps should be taken:

• Avoid using straight-sided containers with narrow necks.

• Do not overheat.

• Stir the liquid before placing the container in the oven and again halfway through the heating time.

• After heating, allow to stand in the oven for a short time, stirring again before carefully removing the container. Some products such as whole eggs and sealed containers – for example, closed glass jars – may explode and should not be heated in this oven. Occasionally, poached eggs may explode during cooking. Always pierce the yolk, then cover and allow the standing time of one minute before removing cover.

Keep these instructions!

Unpacking

N.B. When you unpack the oven, check that the product is free from damage. Damage or any missing parts must be reported immediately to the retailer. The oven, parts of the oven or the accessories may be wrapped by a protection foil. If so, you must remove this foil before using the oven. Do not leave packing material so that small children can play with it. This can be hazardous.

Installation

1. Remove any promotion label from the door.
2. The oven should be installed on a flat, level surface. The surface must be strong enough to safely bear the weight (18 kg) of the oven, and the contents. To avoid the possibility of causing vibration or noise the oven must be in a stable position.
3. Keep the oven away from heat and water. Exposure to heat and water can lower oven efficiency and lead to malfunctioning, so be sure to install the oven away from heat and water sources.
4. Do not block air vents on the top and the sides of the cabinet and also do not place any articles on the top of the oven. If air vents are blocked during operation, the oven may overheat, and this may lead to malfunctioning. Hot air escapes from the vents, so be sure not to obstruct it or let curtains come between the oven and the rear wall.
5. Place the oven as far away from radios and TV's as possible. This oven does conform to EEC requirements of radio interference suppression, but some interference may occur if it is placed too close to a radio or TV, so keep them as far apart as possible.
6. If positioned in a corner, leave a gap of at least 5 cm from the walls and 17 cm above the microwave.

IMPORTANT! The oven can be placed almost anywhere in the kitchen. Make sure the oven is placed on a flat, level surface and that vents as well as the surface underneath the oven are not blocked (for sufficient ventilation).

* The appliance is not intended for use by young children or infirm persons without supervision.
* Young children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
* The supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its service agent or a similarly qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.

Connecting to the mains

The oven is delivered with the power cord and a plug for 230V, 50Hz, earthed socket outlet. Earth protection minimises the risks should a short circuit occur. Check to ensure the voltage of the oven matches the supply.

N.B. If the oven is connected to the socket via an extension cord, make sure the cord is earthed.

This appliance must not be used on a non-earth protected power supply.

Contact an electrician if you are uncertain regarding electrical connection of the oven or provision of earth protection of the supply.

This appliance must be earthed. If this appliance is fitted with a non-

rewireable plug for which your socket is unsuitable, the plug should be cut off and the appropriate plug fitted. If it is necessary to change the fuse in a non-rewireable plug, the fuse cover must be refitted. If the fuse cover is lost or damaged, the plug must not be used until a replacement is obtained.

1. Touch Pause/Clear
2. Touch the time button.
3. Set the desired time by pressing buttons '8', '3' then '0' on the number pad.
4. Touch the power button.
5. Set the desired power (200W = 2) by pressing button '2' on the number pad.
6. Touch Start

At the end of the defrosting time, the microwave power will automatically stop. The cooling fan and oven light will continue to run whilst 5 soft audible bell sounds are heard. ' End ' will appear in the display window. After the defrosting time has finished pressing Pause/Clear will reset the display window to the time of day.

Defrosting Tips

1. It is better to underestimate defrosting time if you are unsure. Food will continue to defrost during the standing time.
2. Separate food as soon as possible.
3. Turn large items, e.g. joints, halfway through the defrosting time, or at pause.
4. Remove any thawed food as soon as possible.
5. Remove or open any packaging before defrosting.
6. Place food in a larger container than that which it was frozen in, this will allow for easy stirring.
7. Begin thawing poultry, breast side down and turn over halfway through defrosting time or at pause. Delicate areas such as wing tips can be shielded with small pieces of smooth foil.
8. Standing time is very important, particularly for large, dense foods which cannot be stirred to ensure that the centre is completely defrosted before cooking.

Microwave Hints

• Always keep the oven clean – avoid spill-overs and do not forget to clean under the glass tray and the inside of the door.
• Preferably use round or oval casseroles with a lid when cooking in your microwave oven.
• Do not use metal or metal decorated casseroles. Certain plastic materials can melt and be warped by hot food.
  • Cover the food when cooking. Use a glass lid, a plate or grease proof paper.
• Pastry, bread and the like can be defrosted directly in a bread basket or on a paper towel.
• If frozen food is heated in its packaging, the packaging should be opened. Packaging containing metal or metal decoration must not be used unless specifically recommended for use in the microwave. Remove metal clips and wire ties.
• Smaller pieces of aluminium foil can be used to cover parts that easily over cook such as chicken legs.
• Food with peel or skin should be pierced with a fork – e.g. potatoes and sausages. Do not boil eggs in the microwave oven as they can explode.
• Put large, thick pieces close to the edge of the casserole and try to cut the food in to even sized pieces. Always place the food in the centre of the oven.
  • The food will be evenly cooked if you stir or turn it a few times.
• Always set a shorter cooking time than indicated in your recipe to avoid over cooking. The larger the amount of food the longer it takes.
  • Use little or no water for vegetables.
• Use less salt and spices than for 'normal' cooking.
• Season afterwards. · Allow a few minutes ‘standing’ time after the oven has switched off to ensure complete and even cooking results.
  • Always ensure food is piping hot throughout before serving.
• Use pot holders or gloves when taking dishes and food from the oven.

Hold Warm can only be used with one stage microwave cooking.

Care and cleaning

The oven must always be clean. Residue of food from spill-overs or spatters will attract microwave energy causing it to burn on. This could reduce the efficiency of the oven and may cause bad odours.

Do not attempt to tamper with or make any adjustments or repairs to any part of the oven. Repairs should only be done by a qualified service technician.

Be sure the oven is off or the unit is unplugged before cleaning.

Cleaning the accessories (turntable and support)

Clean them with mild detergent after removing them for the cavity. Turntable support should be carefully handled. The inside of the oven and turntable get very hot, so do not touch them immediately after use.

Cleaning the interior

Always keep the inside of the oven clean. Wipe up spill-overs and food spatters immediately. Deposits that are allowed to remain on the oven walls, door seal and door surface will absorb microwave energy, reduce the efficiency of the oven, and possibly damage the oven interior. Use mild, liquid detergent, warm water and a soft, clean cloth to remove deposits from the base of the oven. For the side of the oven use a soft damp cloth only, no liquids should be used near the venting holes.

NEVER USE ABRASIVE CLEANERS, COMMERCIAL OVEN CLEANERS OR STEEL WOOL PADS ON ANY PART OF THE MICROWAVE OVEN.

To loosen difficult deposits, boil a cup of water in the microwave oven for 2 or 3 minutes.

NEVER USE A KNIFE OR ANY UTENSIL TO REMOVE DEPOSITS FROM OVEN SURFACES.

To remove odours from the oven interior, boil a cup of water plus 2 tablespoons of lemon juice for 5 minutes.

Cleaning the door seals

Wipe up spill-overs and food spatters immediately. Deposits that are allowed to remain on the door seals will absorb microwave energy, reduce the efficiency of the oven, and possibly damage the oven interior. You can only use mild, liquid detergent, warm water and a soft, clean cloth to remove deposits from the door seals.

Cleaning the exterior

Open the oven door when cleaning the control panel. This will prevent the oven from being turned on accidentally. You should clean outside surfaces of the oven with mild liquid detergent and water followed by a wiping with clear water to remove any excess detergent. Dry with a soft cloth.

Spray-on window cleaners or all purpose spray-on kitchen cleaners can also be used. Never use abrasive cleaners, scouring pads or harsh chemicals on outside surfaces of your oven. To prevent damage to the working parts, do not allow water to seep into ventilation openings.

What to do if......

If the appliance does not work please carry out the following checks before contacting your local
