•Important - Before using this microwave oven please ensure you read these instructions carefully and keep them for future reference.
•Warning: Children should not use this microwave oven.
•Warning: This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or
lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person
responsible for their safety. Children should be supervised to make sure that they do not play with the appliance.
•Warning: The microwave should be examined after unpacking and before use to check that it is not damaged.
•Warning: If the door or door seals are damaged, the oven must not be operated until it has been repaired by a competent person. The
door seals are located around the window on the inside of the door. These seals are not airtight, although no microwaves can be released,
it is normal for small amounts of air or steam to escape when the oven is in use.
•Warning: It is hazardous for anyone other than a qualified electrical engineer to carry out any service or repair operation which involves
the removal of a cover which gives protection against exposure to microwave energy. Do not attempt to repair, adjust or tamper with the
door, safety interlock switches, control panel, housing cabinet or any other part of the microwave oven.
•Warning: Do not place the microwave near a cooker or heat producing appliance.
•Warning: Liquids and other foods must not be heated in sealed containers as they are liable to explode, which may cause serious injury
and damage to the microwave oven.

Caution: Hot Surfaces
•The exterior surfaces of the microwave oven, including the air vents on the cabinet housing and the oven door, will get hot during grilling
and combination settings. Please take care when opening and closing the door to insert or remove food and accessories. During and after
using the grilling and combination functions the interior roof and walls of the microwave will be extremely hot. Take care not to touch
these surfaces and wear oven gloves whenever necessary.
•Please ensure children are kept away from the microwave oven at all times and that they do not touch the hot housing cabinet during or
after operation of the microwave.
To reduce the risk of fire in the oven cavity:
•Do not overcook food.
•Do not leave the microwave oven unattended while you are using it and if using paper or plastic containers check regularly to ensure they
do not ignite.
•Remove wire twist-ties from bags before putting the bag in the oven.
•If materials inside the oven smoke or catch fire, keep the oven door closed to stifle the flames, turn the oven off at the wall switch, or shut
the power off at the fuse or circuit-breaker panel.
Cleaning
•Ensure that the inside of the microwave, door assembly, under the turntable and the waveguide cover are cleaned regularly. Food
splatters, spills should be immediately wiped off. Mild detergent may be used for tough marks, but harsh abrasive detergents and
commercial oven cleaners should not be used. If grease is not cleaned up it may start to ‘smoke’ during use.
•Failure to maintain the microwave in a clean condition could lead to deterioration of surfaces which will damage and affect the life of the
appliance and could cause a safety hazard.

Safety instructions
•If the power supply cord is damaged, cease using the appliance immediately. Contact the service agent for advice on how to proceed.
•Do not use the oven when it is empty. This could damage the oven.
•Do not store anything in the oven, such as papers, cookbooks and so on in case it is accidently turned on.
•This appliance should not be operated by means of an external timer or separate remote-controlled system.
•Never put any objects into the openings on the outer case or attach items to the housing cabinet of the microwave.
•Never remove parts from the oven such as the feet, screws or top cabinet.
•Only use microwave utensils in line with these instructions that are suitable for use in microwave ovens.
•Only use the accessories supplied by the manufacturer.
•Always have the glass tray and turntable support in place when using the oven.
•Do not cook food directly on the glass tray. Put food on a suitable plate or in a bowl before putting it in the oven.
•Do not use the oven for any reason other than preparing food, such as for drying clothes, paper or any other non-food items, or for
sterilising purposes.
•When heating liquids such as beverages, sauces and soups in your microwave oven please be aware that overheating beyond the liquid
boiling point can occur without any noticeable evidence of boiling and bubbling. This can result in a sudden boil over of the hot liquid,
especially when the contents are moved or disturbed when removing from the oven.
