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.

•The microwave is intended for heating food and beverages. Drying of
food or clothing and heating of warming pads, wheat bags, slippers,
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.

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
skin of one lemon in a deep microwave bowl. Microwave it for three
minutes, wipe thoroughly and then dry with a soft cloth.

About this microwave oven
For Customer Services & Spare Parts please call 0845 209 7461
Opening times: Monday - Friday 8am –6pm & Saturday 9am –1pm or visit us at
www.productcareuk.com
Microwaves are high-frequency electromagnetic waves similar to radio waves. While
radio waves may vary in length from one metre to many kilometres, microwaves are
very short (less than 12.5 centimetres). Microwaves do not make any heat
themselves but only cause water molecules in food to vibrate. This vibration produces
heat that cooks the food. This is why your food will come out of the microwave piping
hot, when your utensils inside the oven stay much cooler. The microwaves do not stay
in the air or in the food when you open the microwave oven door.
The microwave oven will work using an ordinary household electrical socket. Inside
the microwave oven is the magnetron, which turns the electrical energy into
microwaves.
Microwaves cannot go through metal, so the inside of the oven is lined with metal.
The door is lined with a fine metal mesh which stops microwaves getting through.
This means that when the microwave oven door is shut, there is no possibility that
microwaves can be released. This is why the microwave oven has been made so that
it will not work when the door is open.
13

Unpacking the microwave
Before you use your microwave oven
1. Remove all the packaging. Do not remove the small piece of card from
the right hand side of the cavity wall. This is called a wave-guide cover
and allows the microwaves to pass through to cook the food.
Please ensure you keep this cover clean at all times.
2. Check the oven after unpacking for any visual damage such as:
●A misaligned door
●Damage to the door
●Dents or holes in the door window and screen
●Dents in the inside
●If you can see any damage do not use the oven
This microwave oven weighs approximately so you must put it on a
horizontal surface that is strong enough to support this weight.
The oven must be placed away from high temperatures and steam.
Do not put anything on the top of the microwave oven.
