For your safety please read the following information.
Warning: This appliance must be earthed.
The appliance must be connected to a 230-240 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.
How to wire a 13 amp plug
Important
The wires in the mains lead on this appliance are
coloured in accordance with the following code:
Green and Yellow - Earth

Brown – Live
As the colours may not correspond with the markings identifying the terminals
in your plug proceed as follows.
The green and yellow wire must be connected to the terminal in the plug which
is marked with the letter E or with the earth symbol or coloured green and
yellow.
The blue wire must be connected to the terminal marked N.

PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE
MICROWAVE ENERGY
The 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.
Do not place any object between the oven front face and the door or allow soil
or cleaner residue to accumulate on sealing surfaces.
Do not operate the oven if it is damaged. It 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.
The oven should not be adjusted or repaired by anyone except qualified
personnel.
Read these instructions carefully and keep them for future reference.
Only use utensils that are suitable for use in microwave ovens.
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.
IMPORTANT SAFETY WARNINGS:
Microwave heating of liquids 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.
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.
The oven should be cleaned regularly and any food deposits removed.
Failure 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.
Only use a temperature probe recommended for this oven.
Avoid using straight-sided containers with narrow necks.
Stir the liquid before placing the container in the oven and again halfway
through the heating time.
After 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:
If the door to door seals are damaged, the oven must not be operated
until it has been repaired by a competent person.
It 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.
Liquids and other foods must not be heated in sealed containers since
they are liable to explode.
Only 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.
This appliance is intended for domestic use only; any other use may
invalidate the warranty and might be dangerous.
When 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.
The plug shall be the main disconnect device and shall remain operable
at all times.

Round/oval dishes rather than square/oblong ones are recommended, as food
in corners tends to overcook.
Narrow strips of aluminium foil may be used to prevent overcooking of
exposed areas. But be careful not to use too much and keep a distance of 1
inch (2.54cm) between foil and cavity.
