• Cleaning and user maintenance should not be undertaken by children without supervision.
• Take care when any appliance is used near pets
• DO NOT use this product for anything other than its intended use.
• This appliance is for household use only.

CAUTIONS

- DO NOT operate the microwave with the door open, due to the safety interlocks built into the door mechanism. It is important not to tamper with the safety interlocks (safety interlocks automatically switch off any cooking activity when the door is opened). This could result in harmful exposure to excessive microwave energy.

  • DO NOT place any object (such as kitchen towels, napkins, etc.) between the microwave front face and the door or allow food or cleaner residue to accumulate on sealing surfaces.
  • DO NOT operate the microwave if it is damaged. It is particularly important that the microwave door closes properly and that there is no damage to the: Door Hinges and latches. Door seals and sealing surfaces.
  • Please ensure cooking times are correctly set. Small amounts of food require shorter cooking or heating time. Over cooking may result in the food catching on fire and subsequent damage to the microwave.

- When heating liquids, e.g. soups, sauces and beverages in your microwave, avoid using straight sided containers with narrow necks. Stir the liquid before placing the container in the microwave and again halfway through the heating time. After heating, let it stand, stir or shake it again carefully and check the temperature of it before consuming to avoid burns (especially, contents of feeding bottles and baby food jars).

- An exhaust outlet is located on the top, bottom or side of the microwave. Don't block the outlet. It could result in damage to your microwave and poor cooking results.

- DO NOT operate the microwave when empty. It is best to leave a glass of water in the microwave when not in use. The water will safely absorb all microwave energy if the microwave is accidentally started.

- Improper use could result in damage to the microwave.

- DO NOT use wooden containers and ceramic containers that have metallic (e.g. gold or silver) inlays. Always remove metal twist ties. Check that the utensils are suitable for use in the microwave before use. They may heat up and char. Metal objects in particular may arc in the microwave, which can cause serious damage.

• DO NOT rinse the glass tray by placing it in water just after cooking. This may cause breakage or damage.

- Before cooking pierce the skin of potatoes, apples or any such fruit or vegetables. They could burst.

• DO NOT cook eggs in their shell. Eggs in their shell and whole hard-boiled eggs should not be heated in the microwave since they may explode, even after microwave heating has ended. Pressure will

build up inside the egg which will burst.

• DO NOT attempt deep fat frying in your microwave. This could result in a sudden boil over of hot liquid.

- If smoke is observed, switch off or disconnect the microwave from the power supply and keep the microwave door closed in order to stifle any flames. It can cause serious damage such as fire or electric shock.

- When food is heated or cooked in disposable containers made of plastic, paper or other combustible materials keep an eye on the microwave and check it frequently.

- The microwave should be cleaned regularly and any food deposits should be removed. Failure to maintain the microwave in a clean condition could lead to deterioration of the surface. This could adversely affect the life of the appliance and possibly result in a hazardous situation.

- Follow exact directions given by each manufacturer for their popcorn product. DO NOT leave the oven unattended while corn is being popped. If corn fails to pop after the suggested times, discontinue cooking. Never use a brown paper bag for popping corn. Never attempt to pop leftover kernels. Overcooking could result in the corn catching fire.

• DO NOT use harsh abrasives cleaners or sharp metal scrapers to clean the microwave door glass. They can scratch the surface, which may result in the glass shattering.

• After cooking, the container is very hot. Use gloves to take out the food and avoid steam burns by directing steam away from the face and hands.

• This appliance is intended to be used in household and similar applications such as:

- Staff kitchen areas in shops. Offices and other working environments.

- Farm houses.

- By clients in hotels, motels and other residential environments, bed & breakfast type environments.

- The microwave oven is intended for heating food and beverages. Drying of food or clothing and heating of warming pads, slippers, sponges, damp cloth and similar may lead to risk of injury, ignition or fire.

- The door or outer surface may get hot when the appliance is operating

- In the unlikely event the appliance develops a fault, stop using it immediately and seek advice from the Customer Support Team: +44 (0) 333 220 6066

4 - Before First Use

• Take out all of the packaging. If there is a safe film over the oven, tear it off before use. Check carefully for damage. Should you find any, immediately notify your dealer or contact our Customer Service Team.

- Microwave ovens must be placed under dry and non-corrosive environments and kept away from heat and humidity sources, such as gas burners or water tanks.

• To ensure sufficient ventilation, the distance from the back of the microwave to the wall should be at least 10 cm, the distance from the side of the microwave to the wall at least 5 cm and the free distance above the top surface at least 20 cm. The distance from the microwave to the ground should be at least 85 cm.

• The microwave should be positioned away from TVs, radios and other antennae, as this may cause interference or disturbance in the signal.

- The appliance must be positioned so that the plug is accessible, and has a good grounding in case of leakage. A ground loop can be formed to avoid electric shock.

• The microwave oven must be operated with the door closed.

- The microwave oven must not be placed in a cabinet.

- The microwave oven is intended to be used free-standing.

- During first use, the microwave oven may omit an odour and a slight amount of smoke. This is due to manufacturing residue or oil on the heating element or oven cavity. This is normal and should not occur after several uses. Keep doors and windows open when first using the microwave to ensure good ventilation. We recommend placing a cup of water on the glass tray and operating the microwave oven several times on the highest setting to help clean the microwave of residue.

During cooking, you can query the current cooking menu by pressing the Auto Cook button.

Utensils guideline:

It is strongly recommended to only use containers which are suitable and safe for microwave cooking. Generally speaking, containers made of heat-resistant ceramic, glass or plastic are suitable for microwave cooking. Never use metal containers for microwave cooking and combination cooking as sparks are likely to occur and there is a risk of fire or injury. When cooking microwave meals, always check the packaging to see which parts are microwave safe. Use the below table as reference:

MaterialMicrowave SafeNotes
Heat resistant ceramicYesNever use ceramics that are decorated with a metal rim or glazed.
Heat resistant plasticYesCannot be used for extended periods of time when microwave cooking.
Heat resistant glassYes
Plastic film YesNot to be used when cooking meat or chops as, the high temperature may damage the film.
Grill rack No
Metal container NoNever to be used in the microwave. Microwaves cannot penetrate through metal. Microwaving with a metal container can result in fire.
Lacquer NoPoor heat resistance. Cannot be used for high temperature cooking
Bamboo wood and paperNoPoor heat resistance. Cannot be used for high temperature cooking
Cling film YesCling film can be used as long as it is pierced to let steam escape, and it not touching the food.

CAUTION:

There are a number of accessories available on the market. Before you buy, make sure they are suitable for microwave use. When you put food into the microwave, ensure that the food supports and/or covering do not come in direct contact with any of the internal walls or the ceiling of the cavity since discolouration may take place.

Some plastics are heat-proof only up to certain temperatures. Check carefully!

Always remove the lids of jars and containers, including take away food containers, before you cook using your microwave. If you don't remove the lids, steam and pressure can build up inside and cause an explosion even after microwave cooking has stopped.

Do not use straight sided containers with narrow necks when heating liquid. Use extreme care when inserting a spoon or other utensils into the container.

Cooking tips:

The following factors may affect the cooking result:

Food arrangement:

Place thicker areas towards the outside of the dish with the thinner parts towards the centre. Spread it evenly and avoid overlap if possible.

Cooking time length:

Begin cooking on a shorter time setting and evaluate the food after it times out. Extend the time as necessary. Over cooking may result in burnt food and smoke.

Piercing:

Food such as potatoes, fish, chicken and sausages all need to be pierced in several places before cooking, so that steam does not build up and cause the food to explode.

Cooking food evenly:

Food such as chicken, burgers or steak should be turned once during cooking. Depending on the type of food, if applicable, stir from outside to the centre of the dish once or twice during cooking.

Allow standing time:

Once the cooking time has finished, allow food to stand in the microwave for a few minutes. This allows the food to complete its cooking cycle and to cool down naturally.

If the food is cooked fully:

The colour and firmness of food help to determine whether it done. The following signs show that the food is ready:

  • Steam coming out from all parts of the food, not just the edge
  • Joints of poultry can be moved easily
  • Pork or poultry show no signs of blood
  • Fish is opaque and can be sliced easily with a fork

Browning dish:

When using a browning dish or self-heating container, always place a heat-resistant insulator, such as a porcelain plate, under it to prevent damage to the turntable and rotating ring.

Microwave safe plastic wrap:

When cooking food with high fat content, do not allow the plastic wrap to come into contact with food as it may melt.

Microwave safe plastic cookware:

Some microwave safe plastic cookware might not be suitable for cooking foods with high fat and sugar content. The preheating time specified in the dish instruction manual must not be exceeded.

CAUTION:

  • Food should be turned over partway through the cooking process to ensure even cooking.
  • Defrosting will typically take longer than cooking.
    • Defrosting can be considered complete when the food can be cut with a knife.
  • Microwaves penetrate around 4cm into most foods.
  • Defrosted food should be consumed as soon as possible; it is not advisable to put it back into the refrigerator. DO NOT refreeze food that has been previously defrosted.

6 - Troubleshooting

Questions Answers
Is it normal for the glass tray to turn in either direction?Yes. The glass tray can rotate clockwise or anti-clockwise, depending on the rotation of the motor when the cooking cycle starts.
Can I operate my microwave whilst it is empty?No, never run it empty or with a very small load for a long period of time, as this will damage the microwave.
Can I open the door whilst the microwave is running?You can open the door at any point during cooking.The microwave energy will automatically switch off when the door is opened, and the time setting will pause until the door is closed.
Why is my microwave sparking?If you see sparks in your microwave, turn it off immediately.Sparks can be caused by:metal or aluminium foil that touches the interior of the microwave, metal from a closing strip or tableware with metallic edges, recycled paper that contains small metal particles and aluminium foil that is not correctly covering the food.Remove anything from the microwave that may contain metal. Refer to the Utensils Guideline in this manual for reference of what containers are microwave safe.
I am trying to cook eggs and they are popping. What do I do?When you bake or poach eggs, the yolk can pop due to a build-up of steam inside the yolk membrane. Pierce the yolk with a toothpick before cooking. Never cook eggs without first piercing their shells.
My microwave is taking longer to cook food than the cooking guide says.Variations in the size, shape and weight of your food can affect cooking times.Cooking guide times and heat settings should be used as suggestions to help prevent over-cooking. If you find the cooking time or temperature is not suited to your ingredients, adjust accordingly.
Can I operate my microwave without the glass tray?No. If you remove the glass tray you will get poor cooking results. Ensure that all dishes used in the microwave fit correctly on to the glass tray.
What does standing time mean and why is it recommended?Standing time means that food should be removed from the microwave and allowed to 'stand' for an additional time to let it finish cooking.This is important because with microwave cooking, the heat is held in the food, not in the oven. Many foods build up enough internal heat to allow the cooking process to continue, even after the food is removed from the oven. Standing time for joints of meat, large vegetables and cakes is to allow the inside to cook completely, without overcooking the outside.Most directions on microwavable food will note how much standing time is required.

7 - Servicing safeguards - Microwave radiation

It is hazardous for anyone, other than a qualified service technician, to carry out any service for repairing operation which involves removal of any cover which gives protection against exposure to microwave energy.

The temperature of accessible surfaces may be high when the appliance is operating.

9 - Cleaning & Care

  • The microwave should be cleaned regularly and any food deposits removed.
  • Remove the power cord from the wall outlet before cleaning. Don't immerse the appliance in water or other fluids when cleaning.
  • Failure to maintain the microwave in a clean condition could lead to deterioration of the surface. This could adversely affect the life of the appliance and possibly result in a hazardous situation.
  • Never use hard detergent, gasoline, abrasive powder or metal brush to clean any part of the appliance.
  • Do not remove the waveguide cover.
    • After lengthy use, it is possible for odours to emit from the microwave.

The following 2 points are some methods to remove odours or unpleasant smells:

- Place several lemon slices in a cup, then heat on High power for 2-3 minutes.

- Put some orange peel into the microwave, and then heat them on High power for 1 minute.

NEVER IMMERSE THE MICROWAVE, CORD, OR PLUG IN WATER OR ANY OTHER LIQUID.

Tips for cleaning

If the seal of the microwave is dirty, it may stop the door from closing properly. Keep the seal clean.

Spicy sauces such as ketchup and mustard, or salty dishes such as salted meat, contain ingredients that can erode the surface. After use, you should always clean the oven interior.

Food residue from spillovers or splatters will attract microwave energy, causing it to burn onto the surface. This could reduce the efficiency of the microwave and may cause bad odours.

Details for cleaning door seals, cavity and adjacent parts:

- Exterior: Wipe the appliance with a damp soft cloth.

- Door: Using a damp soft cloth, wipe clean the door and window. Wipe the door seals and adjacent parts to remove any spills. Wipe the control panel with a slightly dampened soft cloth.

- Interior walls: Wipe clean the interior with a damp soft cloth. Wipe clean the waveguide cover to remove any food remnants.

- Glass tray / Rotation ring / Rotation axis: Wash with mild soap water. Rinse with clean water and allow it to dry thoroughly.

NOTE!

Do not remove the waveguide cover during cleaning. Make sure the waveguide cover is installed correctly and has not been damaged during cooking.
