General Safety Instructions
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ CAREFULLY AND KEEP FOR FUTURE REFERENCE
Read this manual thoroughly before first use. The safety precautions enclosed
herein reduce the risk of fire, electric shock and injury when correctly adhered to.
Keep the manual in a safe place for future reference, along with the
completed warranty card, purchase receipt and carton. Note the product serial
number on this manual, so you always have it ready at hand. If applicable, pass
these instructions on to the next owner of the appliance.
Always follow basic safety precautions and accident prevention measures
when using an electrical appliance, including the following:
Precautions to avoid possible exposure to excessive microwave energy
• Do not tamper with the safety locking mechanism, and do not attempt to use
the microwave oven with the door open. The door needs to be tightly shut to
prevent harmful exposure to microwave energy.
• Do not allow any object to prevent the door from closing. Also, do not allow
cleaner residue to accumulate on sealing surfaces.
• Do not use the oven if it is damaged. It is particularly important that there is no
damage to the oven door (bent, warped or otherwise damaged), hinges and
latches (broken or loosened), door seals and sealing surfaces.
• WARNING! If the door or door seals are damaged, the oven must not be
operated until it has been repaired by a competent person.
• WARNING! Do not attempt to repair the oven or adjust it yourself. Any repair
must only be carried out by qualified personnel. It is hazardous for anyone else
to remove a cover which protects against exposure to microwave energy.
Precautions to avoid the risk of fire in the microwave interior
• Keep an eye on the microwave oven when heating food in plastic or paper
containers as these could ignite.
• If you detect smoke, switch the oven off immediately, unplug it, and keep the
oven door closed in order to stifle any flames.
• WARNING! Do not heat oil or fat for deep frying as its temperature cannot be
controlled.
• Remove wire twist ties from paper or plastic bags before placing them in the oven.
• Do not overcook food.
• Do not leave paper products, cooking utensils, or food in the interior, and do
not use the oven for storage purposes when it is not in use.
• After use wipe the waveguide cover first with a damp, then a dry cloth, to
remove any food splashes and grease. Built-up grease may overheat and
begin to cause smoke or catch fire.
• The appliance is not intended to be operated by means of an external timer or
separate remote control system.

Getting Started
Unpacking
• Unpack: Remove all packing materials from outside and inside the oven. If
there is a safe film over the oven door, tear it off before use. Keep the original
packaging carton and materials in a safe place. It will help prevent any
damage if the product needs to be transported in the future, and you can
use it to store the appliance when it is not in use. In the event that it is to be
disposed of, please recycle all packaging materials where possible. Plastic
wrapping can be a suffocation hazard for babies and young children, so
ensure all packaging materials are out of their reach and disposed of safely.
• Inspect: Unwind the power supply cord to its full length and inspect it
for damage. Then check the microwave oven for any damage, such as a
misaligned or bent door, damaged door seals and sealing surfaces, broken or
loose door hinges and latches, dents inside the cavity or on the door.
WARNING: If there is any damage to the appliance or its cord, do not operate
the microwave oven! Contact our after sales support centre.
• Read: Read this manual to familiarise yourself with the parts and operating
principles. Pay particular attention to the safety advice on the previous pages.
• Clean: Wipe the inside surfaces of the microwave oven with a damp cloth.
Wash the glass turntable with a soft cloth in warm water and a little dish
detergent to remove any dust from transport. Rinse and dry thoroughly.
Installation
• Position: Place the microwave oven on a flat, stable surface that can support
the weight of the oven plus the heaviest foods likely to be cooked in it.
• WARNING: Do NOT place the microwave oven:
X In a cabinet; this appliance is intended to be used freestanding, placed
against a wall.
X Where heat, moisture or high humidity are generated (such as near a gas
burner, cooktop or water tank).
X Near combustible materials.
X Near a TV, radio or antenna; keep a minimum distance of 5m to such
appliances in order to avoid potential picture interference.
• Clearances: Place the microwave oven with its back against a wall, allowing
enough space for ventilation: 20cm of space above the oven, 10cm at the
back and 5cm at both sides. Do not cover or block any openings on the
appliance. Do not remove the feet.
• Assembly: Place the rotating ring in its position in the cavity base and the
turntable on top, making sure it sits securely in place and can move freely.
WARNING: Do not operate the appliance without the turntable and rotating
ring in their proper positions.

Getting Started (Cont.)
Electrical connection
• This appliance must be earthed. We accept no liability for damage to the
oven or personal injury resulting from failure to observe any electrical
connection procedures. In the event of a malfunction or breakdown,
earthing will reduce the risk of an electric shock by providing a path of least
resistance for the current.
• The plug must be connected to an appropriate outlet that is installed
and earthed in accordance with all local standards and requirements. If
unsure, consult an electrician or a service representative. Do not, under any
circumstances, cut or remove the third grounding prong from the power plug.
• It is recommended that a separate circuit be provided for use by the
microwave oven alone.
• Make sure that the power cord does not run under the oven and that the
socket is readily accessible so it can be easily unplugged in an emergency.
Before first use
The appliance may produce fumes or odour when it is first heating up. This
is due to the components being new and can be disregarded safely. We
recommend you place a cup of water on the turntable and run the microwave
oven on full power for a few times until all odour and/or smoke has dissipated
(see page 15 for usage instructions). Ensure there is adequate ventilation.
Microwave cookware details
Cookware used in a microwave oven must be microwave safe. Suitable materials
are listed in the table overleaf.
• Shape of cooking container: We recommend round/oval dishes for micro-
wave cooking rather than square/oblong ones, as food in the corners of a
container tends to overcook.
• Heating liquids: Use a wide-mouthed container for heating liquid, and when
it is hot, wait a few moments before opening the container in order to avoid
possible hazards caused by delayed eruptive boiling.
• Placement: Make sure the cooking container does not touch the interior walls
during cooking.
• Metal: Microwaves cannot penetrate metal, so do not use any cookware
made of or containing metal, such as dishes with a metallic trim, metal
racks, trays or utensils, aluminium foil, or foil containers.
• Recycled paper products: Do not use these when microwave cooking, as
they may contain small metal fragments which may cause sparks and/or fires.
• Browning dish: When using a browning dish or self-heating container, always
place a heat-resistant insulator such as a porcelain plate under it to prevent
damage to the turntable and rotating ring.

Getting Started (Cont.)
Cookware and utensils guide for microwave cooking
Cookware used in a microwave oven must be microwave safe.
Recommended
Microwave plastic wrap Use to retain steam. Leave a small opening for steam to
escape and avoid placing it directly on the food. Do not use
when cooking meat. Do not allow it to come into contact with
high-fat food as it may melt.
Paper towels and paper
napkins
Use for short-term heating and covering; these absorb excess
moisture and prevent spattering. Do not use recycled paper
towels, which may contain metal and could ignite.
Heat-resistant glass and
ceramic dishes
Use for heating or cooking.
Paper plates and cups Use for short-term heating at low temperatures. Do not use
recycled paper, which may contain metal and could ignite.
Wax paper Use as a cover to prevent spattering.
Limited Use
Aluminium foil Use narrow strips of foil to prevent overcooking of exposed
areas. However, take care not to use too much foil, and keep
a distance of 2–3cm between the foil and the cavity wall.
Ceramic, porcelain and
stoneware dishes
Use these if they are labelled "Microwave Safe". If they are
not labelled, test them to make sure they can be used safely.
Never use ceramics decorated with a metal rim or glaze.
Heat-resistant plastic
containers
Use only if labelled "Microwave Safe", and only according to
dish instructions. Avoid when cooking foods with high fat and
sugar content. Other plastics can melt.
Not Recommended
Glass jars and bottles Regular glass is too thin to be used in a microwave. It can
shatter and cause damage and injury.
Paper bags These are a fire hazard, except for popcorn bags that are
designed for microwave use.
Polystyrene plates and
cups
These can melt and leave an unhealthy residue on food.
Plastic storage and food
containers
Containers such as margarine tubs can melt in the
microwave.
Metal utensils, racks or
trays
These can damage your oven. Do not use in the microwave.

Microwave cooking principles
• Arrange the food. Arrange the food so the thickest parts are towards the
outside of the dish, the thinner parts towards the centre, and spread it evenly.
Do not overlap if possible.
• Cover it. Cover the food, but not tightly, as some ventilation is necessary for
even heating. Covering food will prevent spattering and help food cook evenly.
• Turn over. To speed up the cooking time and ensure even cooking, turn pieces
of food over, rearrange them or stir the food from the outside to the centre of the
dish at least once halfway through cooking.
• Watch the cooking time. Cook for the shortest amount of time indicated and
add more time as needed. Severely overcooked food can smoke or ignite.
• Is it done? Colour and hardness of the food help you to determine if it is done.
Indicators include:
• Steam is coming out from all parts of food, not just the edge.
• Joints of poultry can be moved easily.
• Pork or poultry pieces show no signs of blood.
• Fish is opaque and can be sliced easily with a fork.
• Let it stand. After cooking times out, leave the food in the oven for an adequate
length of time. This will allow the food to complete its cooking cycle and cool it
down in a gradual manner.
• WARNING! Do not heat liquids and other food in sealed containers as
they are liable to explode. Baby bottles fitted with a screw cap or teat are
considered to be sealed containers.
• No frying. Do not attempt to fry food in the microwave oven, as hot oil can
damage oven parts and utensils, or cause skin burns.
• No whole eggs. Do not attempt to boil eggs in their shell, as they may
explode, even after microwave heating has ended.
• Pierce skins. Pierce food with nonporous skin such as potatoes, whole
squash, apples, chestnuts or sausages before cooking.
• Take special care to prevent the turntable from breaking.
• Let the turntable cool down before cleaning.
• Do not place hot food or utensils on the cold turntable.
• Do not place frozen food or utensils on the hot turntable.
• Make sure your cooking container is dry, as a wet surface may generate
excessive heat which could damage the glass turntable.

Important notes
• The programmed auto cooking times are based on the food being at room
temperature (20-25°C) before cooking. Food that is colder or warmer may
require increased or decreased cooking times.
• Auto cooking results are affected by the shape and size of the food to be cooked,
how well it is placed in the microwave, voltage fluctuations and, of course,
your personal preference as to how well done you like certain foods cooked.
If your food is not cooked to your satisfaction, please adjust the cooking time
accordingly.

Instructions (Cont.)
Pre-set (delayed start timer)
The pre-set function allows you to program the oven to start cooking at a later
time. To use this delayed start timer, the clock must be set to the correct time.
Example
Suppose it is 11:10 a.m. now and you want the oven to start at 11:30 a.m.
• Place the food into the microwave oven and close the door.
• Set a cooking program, as described on the previous pages, but do not press
START/QUICK START.
• Press the PRE-SET button, then rotate the TIME/MENU dial to set the hour
digits for your start time [ 11 ].
• Press the PRE-SET button again, then rotate the TIME/MENU dial to set the
minute digits for your start time [ 30 ].
• Press START/QUICK START to set the preset program. The pre-set function is
now set and the program will start at 11:30 a.m.
• To cancel the pre-set (delayed start timer), press the STOP/CANCEL button.
WARNING!
• Fire risk: For your personal safety, do not program the timer and then
leave the microwave oven unattended. Operating an electrical appliance
unattended could present a risk of fire or electrical hazards.
• Health risk: For food safety reasons, do not leave easily spoilt foods in
the oven for too long when using the timer. Some foods should not be left
at room temperature in order to prevent the risk of spoilage and bacterial
contamination. Consuming spoilt foods can have serious health risks.
Kitchen timer
The microwave oven has a kitchen timer, or minute minder, which can be set to
sound an alarm after a set period of time (max. 95 minutes).
Example
• During waiting or cooking mode, press the KITCHEN TIMER button once, then
rotate the TIME/MENU dial to set the time period and, finally, press START/
QUICK START to start the timer countdown. When the countdown time has
expired, the oven will beep.
• To check the remaining time during the countdown, press the KITCHEN TIMER
button. The time remaining will be displayed for 4 seconds.
• To stop or cancel the timer, press the STOP/CANCEL button.
