INSTALLATION
PRIOR TO CONNECTING
The microwave oven should not be placed in a cabinet. This oven is not
intended to be placed or used on a working surface lower than 850 mm above
the floor.
Check that the voltage on the rating plate corresponds to the voltage in your home.
Do not remove the microwave inlet protection plates located on the side of the oven cavity wall. They prevent
grease & food particles from entering the microwave inlet channels.
Place the oven on a stable, even surface that is strong enough to hold the oven and the food utensils you put in
it. Use care when handling.
Ensure that the space underneath, above and around the oven is empty to allow for proper airflow.
Ensure that the appliance is not damaged. Check that the oven door closes firmly against the door support and
that the internal door seal is not damaged. Empty the oven and clean the interior with a soft, damp cloth.
Do not operate this appliance if it has a damaged mains cord or plug, if it is not working properly, or if it has
been damaged or dropped. Do not immerse the mains cord or plug in water. Keep the cord away from hot
surfaces. Electrical shock, fire or other hazards may result.
Do not use extension cord:
If the power supply cord is too short, have a qualified electrician or serviceman install an outlet near the
appliance.
WARNING: Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock. Consult a qualified
electrician or serviceman if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if doubt exists as to
whether the microwave oven is properly grounded.

PRECAUTIONS
GENERAL
This appliance is designed for domestic use only!
The appliance should not be operated without food in the oven when using microwaves. Operation in this
manner is likely to damage the appliance.
The ventilation openings on the oven must not be covered. Blocking the air intake or exhaust vents may cause
damage to the oven and poor cooking results.
If you practice operating the oven, put a glass of water inside. The water will absorb the microwave energy and
the oven will not be damaged.
Do not store or use this appliance outdoors.
Do not use this product near a kitchen sink, in a wet basement, or near a swimming pool, or similar.
Do not use the cavity for any storage purposes.
Remove wire twist-ties from paper or plastic bags before placing bag in the oven.
Do not use your microwave oven for deep-frying, because the oil temperature cannot be controlled.
Use hot pads or oven mitts to prevent burns, when touching containers, oven parts, and pan after cooking.
LIQUIDS
e.g. beverages or water. Overheating the liquid beyond boiling point can
occur without evidence of bubbling. This could result in a sudden boil over of
the hot Liquid.
To prevent this possibility the following steps should be taken:
1. Avoid using straight-sided containers with narrow necks.
2. Stir the liquid before placing the container in the oven and let the teaspoon remain in the container.
3. After heating, allow standing for a short time, stirring again before carefully removing the container from
the oven.
CAREFUL
After heating baby food or liquids in a baby bottle or in a baby food jar, always
stir and check the temperature before serving. This will ensure that the heat is
evenly distributed and the risk of scalding or burns can be avoided.
Always refer to a microwave cookbook for details. Especially, if cooking or reheating food that contains alcohol.
Ensure the Lid and the Teat is removed before heating!

ACCESSORIES
GENERAL
There are a number of accessories available on the market. Before you buy,
ensure they are suitable for microwave use.
Ensure that the utensils you use are oven proof and allow microwaves to pass through them before cooking.
When you put food and accessories in the microwave oven, ensure that they do not come in contact with the
interior of the oven.
This is especially important with accessories made of metal or metal parts.
If accessories containing metal comes into contact with the oven interior, while the oven is in operation, spark-
ing can occur and the oven could be damaged.
Always ensure that the turntable is able to turn freely before starting the oven. If the turntable isn’t able to turn
freely you should use a smaller vessel.
Turntable Support
Use the Turntable Support under the Glass Turntable. Never put any other utensils on the
Turntable Support.
• Fit the Turntable Support in the oven.
Glass Turntable
Use the Glass Turntable with all cooking methods. It collects the dripping juices and food particles that
otherwise would stain and soil the interior of the oven.
• Place the Glass Turntable on the Turntable Support.
Lid
Grid
Bowl
STEAMER (only available on MWA267 & MWA269)
To steam cook food using the dedicated function (STEAM). Place the food on the grid when
cooking food as fish and vegetables. Do not use the grid when cooking food as pasta, rice or
beans. Always place the Steamer on the Glass Turntable.
WIRE RACK (only available on MWA268 & MWA269)
• Use the Wire rack with Grill & Combi Grill functions.

MAINTENANCE & CLEANING
Cleaning is the only maintenance normally required. It must be carried out with the microwave oven
disconnected.
Failure to maintain the oven in a clean condition could lead to deterioration of
the surface that could adversely affect the life of the appliance and possibly
result in a hazardous situation.
Do not use metal scouring pads, abrasive cleansers, steel-wool pads, gritty
washcloths, etc. which can damage the control panel, and the interior and
exterior oven surfaces. Use a cloth with a mild detergent or a paper towel with
spray glass cleaner. Apply spray glass cleaner to a paper towel.
Do not spray directly on the oven.
At regular intervals, especially if spillages have occurred, remove the
turntable, the Turntable Support and wipe the base of the oven clean.
This oven is designed to operate with the turntable in place.
Do not allow grease or food particles to build up around the door.
For stubborn stains, boil a cup of water in the oven
for 2 or 3 minutes. Steam will soften the marks.
Adding some lemon juice to a cup of water, placing this on the turntable and boiling for a few minutes can
eliminate odors inside the oven.
Do not use steam cleaning appliances when cleaning your microwave oven.
The oven should be cleaned regularly and any food deposits removed.
The Grill element does not need cleaning since the intense heat will burn off any splashes, but the ceiling
beneath it may need regular cleaning. This should be done with a soft and damp cloth with mild detergent.
If the Grill is not used regularly, it should be run for 10 minutes a month to burn off any splashes, in order to
reduce the risk of fire.
DISHWASHER SAFE:
• Turntable Support • Wire Rack • Glass Turntable • Steamer
Use a soft and damp cloth with mild detergent to clean the interior surfaces,
front and rear of the door and the door opening.
Do not operate the microwave oven when the turntable has been removed for cleaning.
