INSTALLATION
INSTALLING THE APPLIANCE
1. Remove all packaging and check carefully for any signs of damage.
2. If fitting the microwave oven above a conventional oven (position A) or a refrigerator (position C)
then you must check the installation instructions for that appliance to determine air intake and
exhaust requirements.
A refrigerator needs a chimney to exhaust warm air from the rear. The installation should be as
shown in fig. 1.
A conventional oven exhausts warm air from the front. The installation should be as shown in fig. 2.
If installing the microwave oven above a conventional oven, the Mylar sheet that is supplied with
the microwave oven should be fitted as shown in fig. 3. This prevents warm air from the microwave
oven from being drawn in by the conventional oven.
3. Fit the appliance into the kitchen cupboard slowly, and without force, until the front frame of the
oven seals against the front opening of the cupboard.
4. Ensure the appliance is stable and not leaning. Ensure that a 5mm gap is kept between the
cupboard door above and the top of the frame (see fig. 4).
5. Fix the oven in position with the screws provided. The fixing points are located on the top and
bottom corners of the oven (see diagram, item 11, on page 2).
6. It is important to ensure that the installation of this product conforms to the instructions in this
operation manual and the conventional oven or refrigerator manufacturer’s installation instructions.

HEATING CATEGORY
The heating category (a letter A to E) developed
by MAFF (Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and
Food) with microwave oven and food
manufacturers indicates the ability of the oven to
heat small quantities of food (up to 500g).
It does not represent the general performance of
the oven.
HOW YOUR OVEN WORKS
Microwaves are energy waves, similar to those
used for TV and radio signals.
Electrical energy is converted into microwave
energy, which is directed into the oven cavity via
a waveguide. To prevent food and grease entering
the wave guide it is protected by the waveguide
cover.
Microwaves cannot pass through metal, because
of this the oven cavity is made of metal and there
is a fine metal mesh on the door.
During cooking the microwaves bounce off the
sides of the oven cavity at random.
Microwaves will pass through certain materials,
such as glass and plastic, to heat the food.
(See ‘Suitable Cookware’ on page 28).
Water, sugar and fat in food absorb microwaves
which cause them to vibrate. This creates heat by
friction, in the same way your hands get warm
when you rub them together.
The outer areas of the food are heated by the
microwave energy, then the heat moves to the
centre by conduction, as it does in conventional
cooking. It is important to turn, rearrange or stir
food to ensure even heating.
Once cooking is complete, the oven
automatically stops producing microwaves.
Standing time is necessary after cooking, as it
enables the heat to disperse equally throughout
the food.
