Safety information
The built-in safety interlock switches
prevent the microwave oven from
operating when the door is open.
Do not tamper with them, or attempt
to operate the oven with the door open
as open door operation can result in
exposure to microwave energy.
Do not allow food spills or cleaner
residue to accumulate on door sealing
surfaces. See the Cleaning and Care
section for cleaning instructions.
It is particularly important that the
oven door closes properly and that
there is no damage to the: (1) door
(warped), (2) hinges and latches
(broken or insecure), (3) door seals and
sealing surface.
Warning: If the door, hinges/latches
or door seals are damaged, the
microwave must not be operated
until it has been repaired by an
authorized service person.
Warning: It is hazardous for anyone
except factory trained service
personnel to service or make
adjustments to this oven. Contact
your nearest authorised service
agent if service should be required.
Do not remove the outer case, door or
control panel at any time. Doing so may
cause exposure to extremely high voltage.
Install or locate this oven only in
accordance with ‘installation instructions’
found in this manual.
Use the appliance for its intended use
as described in this manual. Do not use
corrosive chemicals in this appliance.
This type of oven is specifically designed
to heat, cook, or defrost food. It is not
designed for industrial or laboratory use
neither for commercial use as this will
invalidate the guarantee.
Do not operate the oven empty. If food
or water is not present to absorb the
microwave energy, the magnetron tube
can be damaged.
Do not store this appliance outdoors.
Do not use this product near water.
Do not attempt to dry clothing or
newspapers in the microwave oven.
These items can ignite.
Do not use the cavity for storage
purposes. Do not leave paper products,

The microwave oven shall not be
placed in a cabinet unless it has been
tested in a cabinet.
Warning: If smoke is observed,
switch off or unplug the appliance
and keep the door closed in order
to stifle any flames. Never use
water.
Warning: Only allow children or
infirm persons to use the
microwave, without supervision,
when adequate instructions have
been given so that the child or
infirm person is able to use the
microwave in a safe way and
understand the hazards of
improper use.
It is quite normal for steam to be
emitted around the door, or for misting
to occur on the door, or even for water
droplets to appear below the door
during the cooking cycle. This is merely
condensation from the heat of the food
and does not affect the safety of your
oven. The door is not intended to seal
the oven cavity completely.
Do not force the turntable to rotate by
hand. This may cause malfunctioning.
Arcing in the oven during microwave
operation usually occurs from use of
metallic utensils. Continuous arcing,
however, can damage the unit. Stop
the programme and check the utensil.
Care should be taken not to obstruct
any air vents located on the top, rear,
side and bottom of the oven.
Warning: Do not use this oven for
commercial purposes. This oven is
made for domestic use only.
Unpacking
When you unpack the oven, check that
the product is free from damage.
Damage or any missing parts must be
reported immediately to the retailer.
The oven, parts of the oven or the
accessories may be wrapped by a
protection foil. If so, you must remove
this foil before using the oven. Do not
leave packing material so that small
children can play with it. This can be
hazardous.
Utensil safety
Most glass, glass ceramic and heat-
resistant glassware utensils are
excellent for use in the microwave oven.
Although microwave energy will not
heat most glass and ceramic items,
these utensils can become hot as heat
transfers from the food to the container.
The use of oven gloves to remove
dishes is recommended.

Testing suitability of cookware
Utensils should be checked to ensure
they are suitable for use in Microwave
Ovens.
Place the cookware in the microwave
along with a glass half full of water.
Heat on full power for one minute. If the
cookware feels hot, you should not use
it. If it is just slightly warm, you can use
it for reheating but not for cooking. If
the dish is room temperature, it is
suitable for microwave cooking.
Paper napkins, wax paper, paper
towels, plates, cups, cartons, freezer
wrap and cardboard are great
convenience utensils. Always be sure
containers are filled with food to absorb
energy and thus avoid the possibility of
overheating or ignition.
Many plastic dishes, cups, freezer
containers and plastic wraps may be
used in the microwave oven. Follow
manufacturer’s instructions when using
plastics in the oven. Avoid using plastic
utensils with foods that have high fat or
sugar content since these foods reach
high temperatures and could melt
some plastics.
Do not leave oven unattended, and
look at it from time to time when
heating or cooking food in plastic,
paper or other combustible containers.
Metal utensils and utensils with
metallic trim should not be used in the
microwave oven, unless specifically
recommended for microwave use.
Containers with restricted openings,
such as bottles, should not be used for
microwave cooking.
Use caution when removing a lid or
cover from a dish to avoid steam burns.
Foil containers
Shallow foil containers may safely be
used to reheat foods in your microwave
oven providing the following rules are
observed:
1.
Foil containers should not be
more than 3 cms (1 1/4”) deep.
2.
Foil lids must not be used.
3.
The foil containers must be at
least two-thirds full of food.
Empty containers must never be
used.
4.
Foil containers should be used
singly in the microwave oven and
should not be allowed to touch
the sides. If your oven has a
metal turntable or cooking rack,
the foil container should be
placed on an upturned
ovenproof plate.
5.
Foil containers should never be
re-used in the microwave oven.
If the microwave oven has been in use
for 15 minutes or more, allow it to cool
before using it again.
The container and turntable may
become hot during use; take great care
when removing either from the oven. It
is advisable to use an oven cloth or
glove when doing so.
Remember when using an aluminium
foil container that the reheating or
cooking times may be longer than you
are used to, always ensure that the
food is piping hot before serving.

Food safety
Do not heat food in a can in the
microwave oven. Always remove the
food to a suitable container.
Deep fat frying should not be done in
the microwave oven, because the fat
temperature cannot be controlled,
hazardous situations can result.
Popcorn may be prepared in the
microwave oven, but only in special
packages or utensils designed
specifically for this purpose. This
cooking operation should never be
unattended.
Pierce foods with non-porous skins
or membranes to prevent steam build-
up and bursting. Apples, potatoes,
chicken livers, and egg yolks are
examples of items that should be
pierced.
The contents of feeding bottles and
baby food jars are to be stirred or
shaken and the temperature is to be
checked before consumption, in order
to avoid burns.
Warning: Liquids or other foods
must not be heated in sealed
containers since they are liable to
explode.
Warning: Microwave heating of
beverages can result in delayed
eruptive boiling; therefore care
must be taken when handling the
container.
Warning: When heating liquids, e.g.
soups, sauces and beverages in
your microwave oven, overheating
the liquid beyond boiling point can
occur without evidence of bubbling.
This could result in a sudden boil
over of the hot liquid. To prevent
this possibility the following steps
should be taken:
Avoid using straight-sided containers
with narrow necks.
Do not overheat.
Stir the liquid before placing the
container in the oven and again halfway
through the heating time.
After heating, allow standing in the
oven for a short time, stirring again
before carefully removing the container.
Warning: Some products such as
whole eggs and sealed containers
– for example, closed glass jars –
may explode and should not be
heated in this oven. Occasionally,
poached eggs may explode during
cooking. Always pierce the yolk,
then cover and allow the standing
time of one minute before
removing cover.
