2. Choose a flat, stable work surface for
your microwave away from heat sources
such as radiators or fires and away from
cold areas. The surface should be at least
85cm above the floor. You should allow
a 20 cm space all around the microwave
and 30 cm above so that warm air can
escape from the vents during cooking.
This microwave is not designed to be
built in. Do not block any intake or outlet
openings as this can damage the unit.
Getting Ready
This microwave is designed for home use. It should not be used for commercial catering.
1. After unpacking your microwave, check that it has not been damaged whilst in the box.
Make sure there are no dents, and the door closes properly. A damaged microwave could
allow microwave energy to escape. Make sure that you have taken out all of the packaging
from the inside of the microwave. Please dispose of the plastic wrappings/ bags safely and
keep out of the reach of babies and young children.
3. Plug your microwave into a standard
household electrical socket (AC 240 volt,
13 amp rated). Avoid using a socket that
also has an adaptor and other equipment
plugged in. Do not use a multi-adapter.
4. Put the turntable support inside the
microwave and place the glass turntable
plate on top of the support. The turntable
support is shaped to sit securely on
the spindle. You must always use the
turntable plate and support whenever
you use the microwave.
