Safety instructions
•Food containing a mixture of fat and water (for example, stock) should
stand for 30 to 60 seconds in the oven after it has been turned off. This
is to allow the mixture to settle and to prevent it from bubbling when a
spoon is placed in it, or a stock cube is added.
•When heating or cooking food or liquid, remember that there are
certain foods (such as, jam, Christmas puddings and mincemeat) which
heat up very quickly.
•When heating or cooking foods that contain a lot of fat or sugar, do not
use plastic containers.
•Always have the glass tray and turntable support in place when using
the oven.
•Never remove parts from the oven such as the feet, screws and so on.
•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.
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.

sponges, damp cloth and similar may lead to risk of injury, ignition or
fire.
•Heat from the contents of a container may be transmitted to the
container itself, so please be careful when removing it from the oven.
Please remember that the food or liquid inside may be releasing some
steam or may be spitting. Never cover any container fully, always leave
a gap for steam to escape.
•Cooking utensils may become hot because of heat transferred from the
heated food. This is especially true if plastic wrap has been covering the
top and handles of the utensil. You may need oven gloves to handle
the utensil.
•Ensure you do not use any corrosive chemicals or vapours in the
appliance. It is not designed for industrial or laboratory use.

important that this wave guide cover is kept clean at all times. To do
this wipe with mild detergent and water, then dry.
•When removing the turntable support of the oven, make sure you put
it back properly.
•If the inside of the oven smells, put a cup of water with the juice and
