EARTHING INSTRUCTIONS (FOR UK MODEL)

This appliance must be earthed. This oven is fitted with a cable, which has an earth wire with an earthed plug. It must be inserted into a wall socket that is correctly wired and earthed. In the event of an electrical short circuit, the earth connection reduces the risk of electric shock through the discharge cable. It is recommended that a separate circuit be used for the microwave oven. Using the appliance on a higher voltage supply is dangerous as this can lead to fire or have other damaging effects on the oven. Warning: Incorrect use of the earthed plug can result in electric shock. Notes: 1. If you have any questions about earthing or electrical matters you should contact a qualified electrician or service technician. 2. The manufacturer and the retailer accept no liability for damage to the oven or persons resulting from the non-compliance with indicated electrical connection procedure. The wires in the mains cable are coloured as follows: Green and yellow = EARTH Blue

= LIVE ELECTROMAGNETIC INTERFERENCE

1. The operation of the microwave can cause interference on your radio, television or similar devices. 2. Should there be electromagnetic interference it can be reduced or eliminated by the following actions: a. Cleaning the door and the internal surfaces of the oven. b. Realigning the radio/ television aerial. c. Moving the microwave to another place in relation to the radio/television receiver. d. Using a different mains socket so that the receiver and the microwave are not on the same circuit.

IMPORTANT SAFETY ADVICE There are some basic safety precautions that should be observed when using electrical devices. They include:

Warning: To reduce the risk of burns and electric shock, fires and personal injury: 1. Read the whole of the instructions and advice before you use the appliance. 2. Use this appliance only for the intended purpose described in this user manual. Do not use any corrosive chemicals or vapours in this appliance. This appliance has been specially designed for heating or cooking food. It is not intended for industrial use or for laboratory work. 3. Do not operate the oven if it is empty.

4. Do not operate this appliance with a damaged mains cable or plug, if it is not working properly, or if it has been damaged or dropped.

5. Please ensure that children do not operate the appliance unsupervised. 6. To avoid fires in your oven: a. When you are heating up food in plastic or paper containers, please ensure that the containers are suitable for use in a microwave oven. b. Remove all metal parts such as the closers on plastic or paper bags before you place the bags in the oven. c. If you notice any smoke, switch off the oven or pull the plug out of the mains socket and keep the door closed to suffocate the flames. d. Do not use the microwave as storage space. Do not leave anything in the oven. 7. Do not heat liquids or other foodstuffs in sealed containers, as this can cause them to explode. 8. Heating liquids in a microwave can produce delayed boiling. Be careful when you touch the container. 9. Do not deep-fry in the microwave. Hot oil can cause damage to the oven components and containers, and can lead to skin burns. 10. Whole eggs should not be heated in the oven as they can explode. 11. Pierce foodstuffs with thick skins, such as potatoes, whole pumpkins, apples or chestnuts before you cook them. 12. Stir or shake the contents of babies' bottles or drinks containers. Likewise, be sure to check the temperature before the food is served in order to avoid burns. 13. Cooking appliances can become hot from the heat given off by the hot food. Please handle by the top flaps. 14. Cooking utensils, plates etc. should be suitable for use in microwaves. To test whether a utensil or plate is microwave-suitable place the empty utensil or plate in the oven and set the microwave to work on full power for 60 seconds. An empty container that becomes very hot is not suitable for use in a microwave. 15. WARNING: Repairs are only to be carried out by suitably trained and qualified personnel.

PRINCIPLES OF MICROWAVE COOKING

1. Place the thickest foodstuff at the edge of the plate. 2. Take note of the indicated cooking time. Cook for the shortest time indicated and extend this if necessary. If food is cooked for too long in the microwave it may smoke or catch fire. 3. Cover the food during cooking. This will avoid splattering and the food will cook more evenly. 4. To reduce the cooking time, turn the food, e.g. chicken or hamburgers, once during the cooking process. Large items of food, such as roasts, must be turned at least once. 5. Rearrange the food on the plate, e.g. for meatballs, during the cooking process: turn the underside of the meatball to the top and move the ones in the centre of the plate to the edge.

MICROWAVE COOKING UTENSILS/PLATES

1. The ideal material for microwave containers is transparent to microwaves, allowing them to pass straight through the container and heat the food. 2. Microwaves cannot pass through metal. Therefore metal containers or plates should not be used in microwave ovens. 3. Do not use items made from recycled paper for microwave cooking. These products contain small metal particles, which can lead to sparking and/or fire. 4. Round/oval containers are preferred, as the food in the corners in angular/long ones can become overcooked. The following list gives you information about which types of cooking utensils are microwave-suitable.

Heat resistant glass

Heat resistant ceramic

Plastic intended for microwave use
