Important Note
PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY
Failure to observe the following safety precautions may result in harmful exposure to microwave energy.
(a) Under no circumstances should any attempt be made to operate the oven with the door open or to tamper with
the safety interlocks (door latches) or to insert anything into the safety interlock holes.
(b) Do not place any object between the oven door and front face or allow food or cleaner residues to accumulate
on sealing surfaces. Ensure that the door and door sealing surfaces are kept clean by wiping after use first with
a damp cloth and then with a soft dry cloth.
(c) Do not operate the oven if it is damaged until it has been repaired by a qualified microwave service technician
trained by the manufacturer.
It is particularly important that the oven door closes properly and that there is no damage to the:
(1) Door, door seals and sealing surfaces
(2) Door hinges (broken or loose)
(3) Power cable
(d) The oven should not be adjusted or repaired by anyone other than a properly qualified microwave service
technician trained by the manufacturer.

Before cooking food or liquids in your microwave oven, please check that the following safety
precautions are taken.
1DO NOT use any metallic cookware in the microwave oven:
◆Metallic containers
◆Dinnerware with gold or silver trimmings
◆Skewers, forks, etc.
Reason: Electric arcing or sparking may occur and may damage the oven.
2DO NOT heat:
◆Airtight or vacuum-sealed bottles, jars, containers
Example: Baby food jars
◆Airtight food
Example: Eggs, nuts in shells, tomatoes
Reason: The increase in pressure may cause them to explode.
Tip: Remove lids and pierce skins, bags, etc.
3DO NOT operate the microwave oven when it is empty.
Reason: The oven walls may be damaged.
Tip: Leave a glass of water inside the oven at all times. The water will absorb the microwaves if you accidentally
set the oven going when it is empty.
4DO NOT cover the rear ventilation slots with cloths or paper.
Reason: The cloths or paper may catch fire as hot air is evacuated from the oven.
5ALWAYS use oven gloves when removing a dish from the oven.
Reason: Some dishes absorb microwaves and heat is always transferred from the food to the dish.
The dishes are therefore hot.
6DO NOT touch heating elements or interior oven walls.
Reason: These walls may be hot enough to burn even after cooking has finished, although they do not appear to be so.
Do not allow inflammable materials to come into contact with any interior area of the oven. Let the oven cool
down first.
7To reduce the risk of fire in the oven cavity:
◆Do not store flammable materials in the oven
◆Remove wire twist ties from paper or plastic bags
◆Do not use your microwave oven to dry newspapers
◆If smoke is observed, keep the oven door closed and switch off or disconnect the oven from the power supply
Safety Precautions
G2613C-1(GB)UK1 10/10/00 4:37 PM Page 5

GB
8Take particular care when heating liquids and baby foods.
◆ALWAYS allow a standing time of at least 20 seconds after the oven has been switched off to allow the temperature
to equalize.
◆Stir during heating if necessary and ALWAYS stir after heating.
◆To prevent eruptive boiling and possible scalding, you should stir before, during, and after heating.
◆In the event of scalding, follow these FIRST AID instructions:
•Immerse the scalded area in cold water for at least 10 minutes.
•Cover with a clean, dry dressing.
•Do not apply any creams, oils or lotions.
◆NEVER fill the container to the top and choose a container that is wider at the top than at the bottom to prevent the
liquid from boiling over. Bottles with narrow necks may also explode if overheated.
◆ALWAYS check the temperature of baby food or milk before giving it to the baby.
◆NEVER heat a baby’s bottle with the teat on, as the bottle may explode if overheated.
9Be careful not to damage the power cable.
◆Do not immerse the power cable or plug in water and keep the power cable away from heated surfaces.
◆Do not operate this appliance if it has a damaged power cable or plug.
10 Stand at arm’s length from the oven when opening the door.
Reason: The hot air or steam released may cause scalding.
11 Keep the inside of the oven clean.
Reason: Food particles or spattered oils stuck to oven walls or floor can cause damage to the paint finish reducing the
efficiency of the oven.
12 A “Clicking” sound might be noticed while operating, especially in defrost mode.
Reason: When the power output is changing electrically, you may hear this sound. It is normal.
13 When the microwave oven is operating without any load, the power will be cut off automatically for safety. After standing
over 30 min, you can operate the oven normally.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
During cooking, you should look into the oven from time to time when food is being
heated or cooked in disposable containers of plastic, paper or other combustible
materials.
IMPORTANT
Young children should NEVER be allowed to use or play with the microwave oven.
Nor should they be left unattended near the microwave oven when it is in use.
Items of interest to children should not be stored or hidden just above the oven.

Depending on the model that you have purchased, you are supplied
with several accessories that can be used in a variety of ways.
1Coupler, already placed over the motor shaft in the base of the oven.
Purpose: The coupler rotates the glass plate.
2Roller ring, to be placed in the centre of the oven.
Purpose: The roller ring supports the glass plate.
3Glass plate, to be placed on the roller ring with the centre fitting on to the
coupler.
Purpose: The glass plate serves as the main cooking surface; it can be
easily removed for cleaning.
4Metal rack, to be placed on the glass plate.
Purpose: The metal rack can be used to cook two dishes at the same
time. A small dish may be placed on the glass plate and a
second dish on the rack. The metal rack can be used in grill and

GB Place the oven on a flat, level surface that is strong enough to safely
bear the weight of the oven.
1 When you install your oven, Make sure there is adequate
ventilation for your oven by leaving at least 10 cm (4 inches) of
space behind, and on the sides of the oven, at least 20 cm (8
inches) of space above the oven.
2 Remove all packing materials inside the oven.
Install the roller ring and turntable.
Check that the turntable rotates freely.
☛Never block the air vents as the oven may overheat and
automatically switch itself off. It will remain inoperable until it has
cooled sufficiently.
☛For your personal safety, plug the cable into a 3-pin, 230 Volt, 50Hz,
AC earthed socket. If the power cable of this appliance is
damaged, it must be replaced by a special cable PENCON
(UD13A1).
☛Do not install the microwave oven in hot or damp surroundings like
next to a traditional oven or radiator. The power supply
specifications of the oven must be respected and any extension
cable used must be of the same standard as the power cable
supplied with the oven. Wipe the interior and the door seal with a
damp cloth before using your microwave oven for the first time.

IMPORTANT NOTE :
The mains lead on this equipment is supplied with a mouldedplug
incorporating a fuse. The value of the fuse is indicated on the pin
face of the plug and, if it requires replacing, a fuse approved to
BS1363 of the same rating must be used.
Never use the plug with the fuse cover omitted if the cover is
detachable. If a replacement fuse cover is required, it must be of
the same colour as the pin face of the plug. Replacement covers are
available from your Dealer. If the fitted plug is not suitable for the
power points in your house or the cable is not long enough to reach
a power point, you should obtain a suitable safety approved
extension lead or consult your Dealer for assistance. However, if
there is no alternative to cutting off the plug, remove the fuse and
then safely dispose of the plug. Do not connect the plug to a mains
socket, as there is a risk of shock hazard from the bared flexible
cord.
WARNING THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED.
This appliance must be earthed. In the event of an electrical short circuit,
earthing reduces the risk of electric shock providing an escape wire for the
electric current. The appliance is equipped with a mains lead which includes
an earth wire for connecting to the earth terminal of your mains plug. The
plug must be plugged into a socket that is properly installed and earthed.
☛The wires in this mains lead are coloured in
accordance with the following code:
◆Green-and yellow :Earth
◆Blue :Neutral
◆Brown :Live
◆As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this appliance
may not correspond with the coloured markings indentifying
the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows.
◆Connect the green-and yellow wire to the terminal in the plug
marked with the letter E or the earth symbol ( ) or coloured
green or green-and-yellow.
◆Connect the blue wire to the terminal marked with the letter
N or coloured black.
☛Consult a qualified electrician or service technician if
in doubt about any of these instructions.
The manufacturer of this oven will not accept any
liability for damage to persons or material for non
observance of these requirements.
There are no user+serviceable parts inside the oven
and if the mains lead of this appliance is damaged, it
must only be replaced by qualified service personnel
approved by the manufacturer because special tools
are required.
