centre. NEVER use the oven without the turntable and roller stay.
4. The oven should not be installed in any area where heat and steam are generated, for example, next
to a conventional oven unit.
The oven should be installed so as not to block ventilation openings.
Allow at least 15cm on top of the oven for free air space.
This oven is not designed to be built-in to a wall or cabinet.
5. Neither the manufacturer nor the distributors can accept any liability for damage to the machine or
personal injury for failure to observe the correct electrical connecting procedure.

6. WARNING-THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED.
If the socket outlet in your house is not compatible with the plug supplied, cut-off the mains plug and
fit an appropriate type, observing the wiring cord below.
If you are unsure how to do this get help from an electrician.
IMPORTANT - The wires in power supply cord are coloured in accordance with the following code:
Green-and-yellow : Earth
Blue : Neutral
Brown : Live
As the colours of the wires in the power supply cord of this appliance may not correspond with the
coloured marking identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:
The wire which is coloured green-and-yellow must be connected to the terminal in the plug which is
marked with the letter E or by the earth symbol or coloured green or green-and-yellow.
The wire which is coloured blue must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter N
or coloured blue.

Check for doneness
Condensation
Place thickest areas toward outside of dish.
Cook for the shortest amount of time indicated and add more time
as needed.
Food severely over-cooked can smoke or ignite.
Check recipe for suggestions: paper towels, microwave plastic wrap
or a lid.
Covers prevent spattering and help foods to cook evenly.
(Helps keep oven clean)
Use small pieces of aluminium foil to cover thin areas of meats or
poultry in order to avoid overcooking.
From outside to center of dish once or twice during cooking, if
possible.
Foods such as chicken, hamburgers or steaks should be turned
over once during cooking.
Like meatballs halfway through cooking both from top to bottom and
from the center of the dish to the outside.
After cooking ensure adequate standing time.
Remove food from oven and stir if possible.
Cover for standing time which allows the food to finish cooking
without overcooking.
Look for signs indicating that cooking temperature has been
reached.
Doneness signs include:
–Food steams throughout, not just at edge.
–Poultry thigh joints move easily.
–Poultry show no pinkness.
–Fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
A normal part of microwave cooking. The humidity and moisture in
food will influence the amount of moisture in the oven. Generally,
covered foods will not cause as much condensation as uncovered
foods. Ensure that the ventilation openings are not blocked.
When using a browning dish or self-heating material, always place a
heat-resistant insulator such as a porcelain plate under it to prevent
damage to the turntable, roller stay and coupling due to heat stress.
The preheating time specified in the dish's instructions must not be
exceeded.
For cooking food with high fat content, do not bring the wrap in
contact with the food as it may melt.
Some microwave safe plastic cookware are not suitable for cooking
foods with high fat and sugar content.
