oven energy when using your appliance, follow basic precautions, including the following:
1. This appliance is not intended for use
by persons (including children) with
reduced physical, sensory or mental
capabilities, or lack of experience
and knowledge, unless they have
been given supervision or instruction
concerning use of the appliance by a
person responsible for their safety.
Children should be supervised to

shock.
4.WARNING: It is hazardous for anyone
other than a qualied technician
to carry out any service or repair
operation that involves the removal of
a cover which gives protection against
exposure to microwave energy.
5.WARNING: Liquids and other
foods must not be heated in sealed
containers since they are liable to
explode.
6.WARNING: Microwave heating of
beverages can result in delayed
eruptive boiling, therefore care must
be taken when handling the container.
7.WARNING: The contents of feeding
bottles and baby food jars should be
stirred or shaken and the temperature
checked before consumption in order
to avoid burns.
8. Only use utensils that are suitable for

Earthing installation to reduce the risk of injury
Danger
Electric shock hazard: Touching some of the internal components can cause serious
personal injury or death. Do not disassemble this appliance.
Warning
Electric shock hazard: Improper use of the earthing installation can result in
electric shock. Do not plug into an outlet until appliance is properly installed and
earthed.
This appliance must be earthed. In the event of an electrical short circuit, earthing
reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric
current. This appliance is equipped with a cord having an earthing wire with an
earthing plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and
earthed. Consult a qualied electrician or technician if the earthing instructions
are not completely understood or if doubt exists as to whether the appliance is
properly earthed.
If it is necessary to use an extension cord, use only a 3-wire extension cord.
1. A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risks resulting from becoming
entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
2. If a long cord set or extension cord is used:
(a) The marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord should be at least
as great as the electrical rating of the appliance.
(b) The extension cord must be an earthing-type 3-wire cord.
(c) The long cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the counter top
or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally.
Cleaning
Be sure to unplug the appliance from the power supply.
1. Clean the cavity of the oven, after using, with a slightly damp cloth.
2. Clean the accessories in the usual way in soapy water.
3. The door frame and seal and neighbouring parts must be cleaned carefully with a damp cloth
when they are dirty.
4. Do not use harsh abrasive cleaners or sharp metal scrapers to clean the oven door glass since
they can scratch the surface, which may result in shattering of the glass.
5.Cleaning tip – for easier cleaning of the cavity walls that the cooked food may touch:
Place half a lemon in a bowl, add 300ml (1/2 pint) water and heat on 100% microwave power
for 10 minutes. Wipe the oven clean using a soft, dry cloth.

Operation
Cleaning Instructions
Always keep the oven clean
1.Cleaning the glass viewing window, the inner door panel and oven front
face For best performance and to maintain the high degree of safety, the inner
door panel and oven front face should be free of food or grease build-up.
Wipe these parts with a mild detergent, rinse and wipe dry. Never use abrasive
powders or pads.
2. Cleaning the control panel and plastic parts
Do not apply a detergent or an alkaline liquid spray to the control panel and
plastic parts, as this may cause damage to these parts.
Use a dry cloth (not a soaked cloth) to clean these parts.
3.Cleaning the oven interior
After use be sure to clean up spilled liquids, splattered oil and food debris as
quickly as possible. Using the oven when dirty may cause bad odours from the
food particles stuck on the oven surface. Clean the interior with a warm wet cloth
using a mild detergent, then rinse the soap o with a damp cloth.
4. Clean the lter regularly, keep it clear
The appliance will over-heat when the lter is blocked.
5.When the appliance is operated, oil blockage and lter location must be
correct, avoiding damage to other parts
(See the installation instructions on page 7).
Caution: Do not wipe plastic and painted sections of the oven with bleach, thinners
or other cleaning agents, as this may cause these parts to dissolve or change shape.
