Please read these instructions before operating the appliance and retain them for
future use.
This product is not suitable for use by children, and may not be suitable for persons
requiring supervision unless they receive instruction by a competent person on how to
safely use the product. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play
with the product.
The microwave oven must be earthed.
This microwave oven should only be used for the purpose it was intended.
Do not operate the oven when empty.
Some products such as whole eggs and sealed containers (closed glass jars, sealed
baby bottles with teats etc.) may explode and should not be heated in a microwave
oven.
Close supervision is necessary when used in the presence of children.
Always have the glass tray and turntable roller in place when operating the oven.
Do not use the microwave oven for any other purpose than food preparation, such as
drying clothes, paper or any other non-food item or for sterilising purposes.
Do not use the microwave oven cavity for any type of storage, such as papers,
cookbooks etc.
Do not use the microwave for home canning. Microwave ovens are not designed for
canning. Improperly canned food may spoil and be dangerous to eat.
Do not cook any food surrounded by a membrane such as egg yolk, potatoes, chicken
livers etc. without first piercing several times.
Do not insert any object into the openings on the outer case.
Do not remove any parts such as feet, couplings or screws from the microwave oven.
Do not cook directly on the glass tray. Place food in a proper utensil before placing it in
the oven.
Do not use metal pans or dishes with metal handles.
Do not use anything with a metal trim.
Do not use paper covered wire twist ties on plastic bags.
Do not use melamine dishes as they will absorb microwave energy. This will cause the
dish to crack or char and slow down the cooking process.
Do not cook in containers with restricted opening such as soft drinks bottles as they
may explode if heated in a microwave oven.
Always test the temperature of food cooked in a microwave especially if you are heating
food/liquid for a baby. Always allow it to stand for a few minutes and stir the food/liquid
to distribute the heat evenly.
Use only a thermometer specifically designed for microwave cooking.
Do not attempt to deep fry food in the oven.

product safety
Food containing a mixture of fat and water 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
bubbling when a spoon is placed in the food/liquid.
Always follow the cooking instructions in your cookbook. Some foods e.g. Christmas
puddings, jam, and mincemeat heat up very quickly.
When cooking foods with a high fat or sugar content do not use plastic containers.
Do not use the microwave oven with a damaged power cord or plug or after the
appliance has malfunctioned or has been damaged. Return to the nearest authorised
service centre for repair.
Paper bags may catch fire in the oven.
Plastic foam containers may melt or contaminate the food or liquid inside when
exposed to high temperatures.
Wood will dry out when used in the microwave oven and may split or crack.
When heating food in plastic or paper containers, keep an eye on the oven due to the
possibility of ignition.
If smoke is observed, switch off or unplug the appliance and keep the door closed in
order to stifle any flames.
Microwave heating of beverages can result in delayed eruptive boiling, therefore care
should be taken when handling the container.

Setting up your microwave oven
Do not operate your oven if it is damaged.
Place the drive shaft into the hole in the oven floor. You may need to rotate it slightly until
it fits to the coupling correctly and slides down all the way. Place the turntable roller ring
into the recess in the oven floor. Place the glass turntable onto the shaft until the lugs on
the underside of the turntable engage with the drive shaft. Do not operate your microwave
oven without these items fitted.
Due to our policy of continuous improvement, the actual product may differ slightly from the one illustrated in these instructions.
