Children should not play with the appliance.
• Food containing a mixture of fat and water (for example, stock) should stand for 30 to 60 seconds in the oven after it has been turned off. This is to allow the mixture to settle and to prevent it from bubbling when a spoon is placed in it, or a stock cube is added.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

READ CAREFULLY AND KEEP FOR FUTURE REFERENCE WARNING:

• When heating or cooking food or liquid, remember that there are certain foods (such as, jam, Christmas pudding, and mincemeat) which heat up very quickly.
• Microwave heating of beverages can result in delayed eruptive boiling, therefore care must be taken when handling the container.
• The contents of feeding bottles and baby food jars shall be stirred or shaken and the temperature checked before consumption, in order to avoid burns. Do not heat baby bottles with the teat left on. Remove it if replacing the bottle back into the oven.
• Eggs in their shell and whole hard-boiled eggs should not be heated in microwave ovens since they may explode, even after microwave heating has ended.

ABOUT YOUR MICROWAVE

How do microwaves work?

Microwaves are high-frequency electromagnetic waves similar to radio waves. While radio waves may vary in length from one metre to many kilometres, microwaves are very short (less than 12.5 centimetres.)

Microwaves do not make any heat themselves but cause water molecules in food to vibrate.

This vibration produces heat that cooks the food. This is why your food will come out of the microwave piping hot, when your utensils inside the oven stay much cooler. The microwaves do not stay in the air or in the food when you open the microwave oven door.

The microwave oven will work using an ordinary household electrical socket. Inside the microwave oven is the magnetron, which turns the electrical energy into microwaves.

Microwaves cannot travel through metal, so the inside of the oven is lined with metal. The door is lined with a fine metal mesh which stops microwaves getting through. This means that when the microwave oven door is shut, there is no possibility that microwaves can be released.

COOKING TIPS

Defrosting tips

Microwaves penetrate around 4cm into most food. To maximize defrosting effectiveness follow the below guidelines.

1. For thick foods, turn regularly during operation in order to defrost evenly.
2. If food weighs over 500g, it is advised to turn at least 2 times.
3. Defrosted food should be consumed as soon as possible, it is not advisable to put back into the fridge or freeze again.

Cooking tips - The following may affect cooking results:

Food arrangement

If possible, thicker bits of food should be placed around the outside of the dish and the thinner parts toward the centre, spread out as evenly as possible. Do not overlap food if possible as this could result in uneven cooking results.

Cooking length

If you are unsure of cooking times it is advisable to start with a short cooking time and monitor cooking progress before adding further time. Overcooking could lead to a risk of fire. Ensure food is cooked thoroughly before consuming.

Cooking food evenly

Foods such as meat should be turned frequently to ensure more even cooking results. If the food is liquid based, stirring during the cooking time is advisable.

Allow standing time

When the microwave has stopped cooking, leave the food to rest for an adequate length of time to allow for cooking completion and cooling.

CLEANING THE MICROWAVE

• Before you clean the oven, turn it off and unplug it.
- Keep the inside of the oven clean. When food or liquids stick to the oven walls, wipe with a damp cloth. We recommend that you do not use harsh detergents or abrasives.
- On the right hand side wall of the cavity is the waveguide cover, microwaves are passed through this to enable your food to cook. It is important that this waveguide cover is kept clean at all times. To do this wipe with mild detergent and water, then dry.
- You should clean the outside of the oven with a damp cloth. Do not allow water to seep into the ventilation openings.
- Do not allow the control panel to become wet. Clean with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use detergents, abrasives or spray-on cleaners on the control panel.
- If steam builds up inside or around the outside of the oven door, wipe with a soft cloth. This may happen when the microwave oven is used in humid conditions.
- Regularly remove the glass plate to clean it, and wash it in warm soapy water. Regularly clean the glass plate support and oven floor. Simply wipe the bottom surface of the oven with mild detergent and water, then dry. You can wash the glass plate support in mild soapy water.
- When removing the glass plate support of the oven, make sure you put it back properly.
- If the inside of the oven smells, put a cup of water with the juice and skin of one lemon in a deep microwave bowl. Microwave it for three minutes, wipe thoroughly and then dry with a soft cloth.
- Failure to maintain the oven in a clean condition, especially if liquid is left under the glass plate, could lead to deterioration of the surface that will adversely affect the life of the appliance that may result in a hazardous condition.

PROBLEM SOLVING

WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury, always unplug the microwave before performing maintenance or trouble shooting checks.

The microwave oven may cause interference to your radio, TV or similar equipment. If this happens, you can stop the interference by moving the radio, TV or equipment as far away from your microwave oven as possible.

Problem Potential	Potential reason	Potential solution
If the microwave doesn't work	1. Microwave is not plugged in	Make sure the plug is plugged in securely into the mains and the switch is on. If it is not, remove the plug from the socket, wait 10 seconds and plug it in again securely.
	2. Plug is not working	The plug socket that the microwave is plugged into may have become faulty. Plug the microwave into another known good plug socket, ensure that the socket is turned on and check if the microwave now works.
	3. The plug has a blown fuse or the mains circuit has a blown fuse/tripped fuse	Check the plug for a blown circuit fuse or a tripped main circuit breaker. If these seem to be working properly, test the socket with another appliance.
	4. Microwave has developed a fault	Contact customer services to talk through the problem to see if any solution for the fault can be found. If not and the product is within its warranty period, then the microwave should be returned to the retailer it was purchased from for a replacement or refund.
If the microwave power will not work	1. Door is not closed	Make sure the door is securely closed. Otherwise, the microwave will not engage or operate.
	2. The timer dial has not been turned.	Start the microwave by turning the dial and pressing the start button.
Not heating	Magnetron not working	The component that produces the microwaves is called a magnetron, if food is not being heated or is lukewarm then it is likely this component has developed a fault. If the microwave is within its warranty period, please contact customer services for further advice or take the microwave back to the retailer it was purchased from for a refund or replacement.

PROBLEM SOLVING

Problem Potential reason Potential solution
Sparking	1. Burnt on food debris	Spillages or splashes can burn and catch fire, all food that is put into the microwave should be appropriately covered. All spillages or splashes must be cleaned, and all areas of microwave cleaned after each use.Burnt on food debris in the microwave, on the waveguide and the behind the waveguide can cause the microwave to 'spark'. This is because burnt on debris can be focused on by the microwaves and spark.Microwaves must be thoroughly cleaned after every use to ensure no food is burnt on to any part of the microwave.If the microwave does 'spark' the waveguide must be disposed, the microwamemustbe cleaned thoroughly and then contact customer services for a replacement waveguide.The replacement waveguide should be fitted and the microwave should operate normally. However, if the microwave 'sparks' again on first use (after the waveguide has been replaced and the microwave cleaned,) please contact customer services for further advice.
	2. Metal or foil	No metal or foil should be put inside a microwave as it can cause 'sparking' which can damage the microwave.The only metal accessories that should be used inside the microwave are the ones supplied by the manufacturer.
	3. Pressure build up in food	Food with none porous skins (potatoes for example), must be pierced to allow steam to escape. As the build up of pressure can cause food to burst and create a 'fire hazard'.
Heat spots	Operated empty or with no moisture	Microwaves cannot be run empty, microwaves need moisture to operate correctly.If microwaves are operated empty or are used to heat up plates (this is not permitted), the microwaves can focus on a single point inside the microwave. This can cause a heat spot, which can cause the area to become deformed, warped or start to melt.If microwaves are operated empty or to heat up foreign objects this will void the warranty.

PROBLEM SOLVING

Problem Potential reason		Potential solution
Condensation or excess water	1. Food that is being cooked	By the very nature of how a microwave works, it 'excites' the water molecules in the food it is heating, causing them to move about and generate heat from within the food. Often when the food heats up it reaches the point where steam is released. Dependant on the food type being heated (and its water content level), the length of time being heated for – and so the amount of steam generated – it is inevitable that some of the steam will condense and form back into water droplets within the microwave cavity. This can usually be found on the inner walls or most commonly on the back of the glass door. If not cleaned up, these droplets can start to form small 'pools' of water.
	2. Cooling vents covered	Cooling vents allow the heat and steam to escape from the microwave. These cannot be covered as it can cause excessive water to settle inside the microwave or the microwave to overheat.The installation instructions in the instruction manual must be followed or the warranty will be void.
Paint damage/ peeling	Maintenance	If the microwave is within its warranty period, please contact customer services for further advice or take the microwave back to the retailer it was purchased from for a refund or replacement
Light not working	Bulb not working	Due to the construction of microwaves and certain 'dangerous' components inside, the light bulb can only be changed by a qualified service engineer.If the microwave is within its warranty period, please contact customer services for further advice or take the microwave back to the retailer it was purchased from for a refund or replacement
Over heating	Cooling vents covered	Cooling vents allow the heat and steam to escape from the microwave. These cannot be covered as it can cause excessive water to settle inside the microwave or the microwave to overheat.The installation instructions in the manual must be followed or the warranty will be void.
Too noisy	1. Glass plate fitted incorrectly	Check that the glass plate has been placed correctly on the glass plate and is not hitting the walls/doors of the microwave during operation.
	2. Dishes/plate are too large for the microwave	Check that the dishes/plates are the correct size for the microwave and that they are not hitting the walls/door of microwave during operation.

PROBLEM SOLVING

Problem Potential	Potential reason	Potential solution
Door not shutting/ locking	1. Glass plate fitted incorrectly	Check that the glass plate has been placed correctly on the glass plate and is not stopping the door from shutting correctly.
	2. Latches have become deformed	If the microwave is within its warranty period, please contact customer services for further advice or take the microwave back to the retailer it was purchased from for a refund or replacement.
glass plate not rotating	1. Glass plate coupling not fitted or tape not removed	Check that the glass plate coupling is fitted correctly and the transportation tape has been removed.
	2. Glass plate roller ring not fitted or fitted incorrectly	Check that the coupling has be placed under the glass plate and that it is positioned correctly.
	3. Glass plate fitted incorrectly	Check that the glass plate has been placed correctly on the glass plate.
