- Connect the plug to an adjacent ‘easily accessible’ 13amp socket outlet and ensure that the appliance is not standing on the supply cable.

- Never operate this oven without food or liquids inside

- Remove the turntable and rotating ring from the packaging, wash in warm soapy water and dry thoroughly. Fit the rotating ring on the base of the interior and then carefully place the turntable onto the rotating drive, ensuring that it ‘locks’ into place.

- Replace the rotating ring on the base of the interior and then carefully place the turntable onto the rotating drive, ensuring that it ‘locks’ into place

- This appliance is fitted with a safety door interlock. Do not operate the appliance if either of the two interlock levers are damaged. Please note that the appliance will fail to operate if the door has not been closed correctly.

- The turntable rotates whilst the appliance is operating – this helps the food/liquids to cook/heat more evenly.

Wood	Wood will dry out when used in the microwave oven and may split or crack.

3.15. Suitable Materials/Utensils

Aluminum foil	Shielding only. Small smooth pieces can be used to cover thin parts of meat or poultry to prevent overcooking. Arcing can occur if foil is too close to oven walls. The foil should be at least 1 inch (2.5cm) away from oven walls.
Browning dish	Follow manufacturer's instructions. The bottom of browning dish must be at least 3/16 inch (5mm) above the turntable. Incorrect usage may cause the turntable to break.
Dinnerware	Microwave-safe only. Follow manufacturer's instructions. Do not use cracked or chipped dishes.
Glass jars	Always remove lid. Use only to heat food until just warm. Most glass jars are not heat resistant and may break.
Glassware	Heat-resistant oven glassware only. Make sure there is no metallic trim. Do not use cracked or chipped dishes.
Oven cooking bags	Follow manufacturer's instructions. Do not close with metal tie. Make slits to allow steam to escape.
Paper plates and cups	Use for short-term cooking/warming only. Do not leave oven unattended while cooking.
Paper towels	Use to cover food for reheating and absorbing fat. Use with supervision for a short-term cooking only.
Parchment paper	Use as a cover to prevent splattering or a wrap for steaming.
Plastic	Microwave-safe only. Follow the manufacturer's instructions. Should be labeled "Microwave Safe". Some plastic containers soften, as the food inside gets hot. "Boiling bags" and tightly closed plastic bags should be slit, pierced or vented as directed by package.
Plastic wrap	Microwave-safe only. Use to cover food during cooking to retain moisture. Do not allow plastic wrap to touch food.
Thermometers	Microwave-safe only (meat and candy thermometers).
Wax paper	Use as a cover to prevent splattering and retain moisture.

There will be an audible ‘buzzer/beep’ at the end of the cooking period.

You may hear the turntable rotating inside the oven, this is normal.

You may see water on the inside of the door – this is quite normal due to condensation forming from some foods and/or liquids during the cooking process.

The microwave oven light may appear dim at times – this may happen during the cooking process and is quite normal, particularly during low power cooking.
