For your safety please read the following information.
Warning: This appliance must be earthed.
The appliance must be connected to a 230 volts 50 cycle AC supply by means
of a three-pin socket and should be protected by a 13-amp fuse in the plug.
The appliance is supplied with a moulded 13 amp 3 pin plug fitted with a 13
amp fuse. Should the fuse require replacement, it must be replaced with a fuse
rated at 13 amp and approved to BS1362.
The plug contains a removable fuse cover that must be refitted when the fuse
is replaced. In the event of the fuse cover being lost or damaged, the plug must
not be used until a replacement cover has been obtained.
If the moulded mains plug is unsuitable for the socket outlet in your home or is
removed for any other reason, then the fuse should be removed and the cut off
plug disposed of safely to prevent the hazard of electric shock.
There is a danger of electric shock if the old plug is inserted into any 13-amp
socket outlet.

PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE
MICROWAVE ENERGY
yThe oven cannot be operated with the door open due to the safety
interlocks built in the door mechanism which switch off cooking
functions when the door is opened. Operating the oven with the door
open could result in harmful exposure to microwave energy. It is
important not to tamper with the door mechanism.
yDo not let water or any other liquid enter the oven through the
ventilation slots.
yDo not place any object between the oven front face and the door or
allow soil or cleaner residue to accumulate on sealing surfaces.
yDo not operate the oven if it does not work as expected or the mains
lead is damaged or the unit is damaged in any way.
yIt is particularly important that the oven door closes properly and that
there is no damage to the door (bent), or hinges and latches (broken or
loosened), or the door seals and sealing surfaces.
yThe oven should not be adjusted or repaired by anyone except
qualified personnel.
yRead these instructions carefully and keep them for future reference.
yOnly use utensils that are suitable for use in microwave ovens.
yWhen heating food in plastic or paper containers keep an eye on the
oven due to the possibility of ignition.
yIf smoke is observed, switch off or unplug the appliance and keep the
door closed in order to stifle any flames.
IMPORTANT SAFETY WARNINGS:
yMicrowave heating of liquids can result in delayed eruptive boiling;
therefore care must be taken when handling the container.
yThe contents of feeding bottles and baby food jars shall be stirred or
shaken and the temperature checked before consumption, in order to
avoid burns.
yEggs 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.
yThe oven should be cleaned regularly and any food deposits removed.
yFailure to maintain the oven in a clean condition could lead to
deterioration of the surface that could adversely affect the life of the
appliance and possibly result in a hazardous situation.
yOnly use a temperature probe recommended for this oven.
yAvoid using straight-sided containers with narrow necks.
yStir the liquid before placing the container in the oven and again

halfway through the heating time.
yAfter heating, allow to stand in the oven for a short time. Stir or shake
the contents (especially feeding bottles and baby foods) and carefully
check the temperature before use.
WARNINGS:
yIf the door to door seals are damaged, the oven must not be
operated until it has been repaired by a competent person.
yIt is hazardous for anyone other than a competent person to carry
out any service or repair operation that involves the removal of a
cover which gives protection against exposure to microwave
energy.
yLiquids and other foods must not be heated in sealed containers
since they are liable to explode.
yOnly allow children to use the oven without supervision when
adequate instructions have been given so that the child is able to
use the oven in a safe way and understands the hazards of
improper use.
yThis appliance is intended for domestic use only; any other use
may invalidate the warranty and might be dangerous.
yWhen the microwave is switched off it is NOT disconnected from
the mains, to do this you must remove the plug from the mains
supply outlet.
yThe plug shall be the main disconnect device and shall remain
operable at all times.
yThe microwave oven shall not be placed in a cabinet unless it has
been tested in a cabinet.
yThe appliances are not intended to be operated by means of an
external timer or separate remote-control system.
