About this microwave oven

Microwaves are high-frequency electromagnetic waves similar to radio waves. While radio waves may vary in length from one metre to many kilometers, microwaves are very short (less than 12.5 centimeters). Microwaves do not make any heat themselves but only cause water molecules in food to vibrate. This vibration produces the heat that cooks the food. This is why your food will come out of the microwave piping hot, when your utensils inside the oven stay much cooler. The microwaves do not stay in the air or in the food when you open the microwave oven door.
The microwave oven will work using an ordinary household electrical socket. Inside the microwave oven is the magnetron, which turns the electrical energy into microwaves.
Microwaves cannot go through metal, so the inside of the oven is lined with metal. The door is lined with a fine metal mesh which stops microwaves getting through. This means that when the microwave oven door is shut, there is no possibility that microwaves can be released. This is why the microwave oven has been made so that it will not work when the door is open.
Before you use your microwave oven

1. Remove all the packaging. Do not remove the small piece of card from the right hand side of the cavity wall. This is called a wave-guide cover and allows the microwaves to pass through to cook the food.
2. Check the oven after unpacking for any visual damage such as:
   • A misaligned door
   • Damage to the door
   • Dents or holes in the door window and screen
   • Dents in the inside

If you can see any damage do not use the oven

Safety instructions

Warning: this oven must be positioned so that the plug is accessible and the plug socket is within easy reach of the power cord.
Warning: when the appliance is operated in the combination, convection or grill mode, children should only use the oven under adult supervision due to the temperatures generated.

• Children should be supervised to ensure they do not play with the appliance, and the appliance and cable should be kept completely out of reach of young children.
• This appliance is not designed for use by children, or persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, and should not be used by such persons unless they can do so safely. Where necessary, such persons (or anyone with lack of experience or knowledge) should first be given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.

Warning: it is hazardous for anyone other than a competent person to carry out any service or repair operation which involves the removal of a cover which gives protection against exposure to microwave energy.
Warning: if the door or door seals are damaged, the oven must not be operated until it has been repaired by a competent person. The door seals are located around the window on the inside of the door. These seals are not airtight, although no microwaves can be released; it is normal for small amounts of air or steam to escape when the oven is in use.
Warning: liquids and other foods must not be heated in sealed containers, as they are liable to explode.

• Do not operate the oven if damaged or after it malfunctions. In the event the supply cord is damaged, it must only be replaced by a qualified service engineer, with a suitably approved part.

• Keep the oven, cable and plug dry, never immerse in water.

• When heating food in plastic or paper containers, keep an eye on the oven due to the possibility of ignition

• Only use the oven for preparing food. For example do not use for drying clothes, paper or any other non-food items, or for sterilizing purposes.

• To avoid damaging the oven, do not use the oven when the cavity is empty. The oven may be empty (used as a timer) in microwave mode with the power set to zero (see page 8) or in the convection preheat mode (see page 10).

• Do not store anything in the oven, such as papers, cookbooks and so on.

• Do not cook any food surrounded by a membrane, such as egg yolks, potatoes, chicken livers, ready meals and so on without piercing them several times with a fork.

• Eggs in their shell and whole hard-boiled eggs should not be heated in microwave ovens since they may explode, even after microwave heating has ended.

• Never cover the air vents or put any objects into the openings on the outer case.

• Never remove parts from the oven such as the feet, screws and so on.

• Only use utensils recommended in these instructions – see page 14.

• Do not try to deep-fry foods in this oven.

• Heat from the contents of a container may be transmitted to the container itself, so please be careful when removing it from the oven. Please remember that the food or liquid inside will be releasing some steam or will be spitting. Never cover any container
  fully, always leave a gap for steam to escape.

• Cooking utensils may become hot because of heat transferred from the heated food. This is especially true if plastic wrap has been covering the top and handles of the utensil. You may need oven gloves to handle the utensil.

• In order to avoid burns, the contents of feeding bottles and baby food jars shall be stirred or shaken and the temperature checked before consumption.

• Always test the temperature of cooked food, never eat or drink food or liquid straight from the oven, allow it to stand for a few minutes and stir to distribute the heat evenly.

• Microwave heating of beverages can result delayed eruptive boiling, therefore care must be taken when handling the container.

• Microwave heating food containing a mixture of fat and water (for example, stock) should stand for 30 to 60 seconds in the oven after it has been turned off. This is to allow the mixture to settle and to prevent it from bubbling when a spoon is placed in it, or a stock cube is added.

• When heating or cooking food or liquid, remember that there are certain foods (such as

• Christmas puddings, jam and mincemeat), which heat up very quickly.

• When heating or cooking foods that contain a lot of fat or sugar, do not use plastic containers.

• Always have the glass tray and turntable support in place when using the oven.

• Do not cook food directly on the glass tray. Put food on a suitable plate or in a bowl before putting it in the oven.

To reduce the risk of fire in the oven cavity:

• Do not overcook food.
• Do not leave the microwave oven unattended while you are using it.
• Remove wire twist-ties from bags before putting the bag in the oven.
• If materials inside the oven catch fire, keep the oven door closed, turn the oven off at the wall switch, or shut the power off at the fuse or circuit-breaker panel.

FOOD SAFETY

• Do not cook raw meat or raw shellfish in a microwave, due to the possibility for uneven heating.
• Do not use the microwave oven for home canning or bottling. Improperly canned or bottle foods may spoil and be dangerous to eat.
• Follow cooking instructions on food packaging and always check the temperature of food before serving.

Cleaning and care

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 condition. The oven should be cleaned regularly and any food deposits removed.

• Before you clean the microwave oven, turn it off and unplug it.

• Keep the inside of the oven clean. When food or liquids stick to the oven walls, wipe with a damp cloth. We recommend that you do not use harsh detergent or abrasives.

• On the right hand side wall of the cavity is the wave guide cover. Microwaves are passed through this cover to enable your food to cook. It is important that the wave guide cover is kept clean at all times. To do this wipe with mild detergent and water, then
  dry. Do not remove the waveguide cover on the inside wall of the cavity.

• You should clean the outside of the oven with a damp cloth and polish dry with a soft dry cloth. Do not allow water to seep into the ventilation openings.

• Wipe the door and window on both sides, the door seals and adjacent parts frequently with a damp cloth to remove any spills or spatters. Do not use an abrasive cleaner.

• Do not allow the control panel to become wet. Clean with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use detergents, abrasives or spray-on cleaners on the control panel.

• If steam builds up inside or around the outside of the oven door, wipe with a soft cloth.

• This may happen when the microwave oven is used in humid conditions.

• If the inside of the oven smells, put a cup of water with the juice and the skin of one lemon in a deep microwave bowl. Microwave it for three minutes, wipe the cavity walls thoroughly and then dry a soft cloth.

• Regularly clean the turntable support and oven floor. Simply wipe the bottom surface of the oven with mild detergents and water, and then dry. You can wash the turntable support in soapy water. Check that it is correctly fitted after cleaning.

• Regularly remove the glass tray to clean it, and wash in warm soapy water.

• The baking tray may be washed in warm soapy water. Do not uses an abrasive cleaner. Not suitable for the dishwasher

Problem solving

The microwave oven may cause interference to your radio, TV or similar equipment. If it does, you can get rid of the interference by moving the radio, TV or equipment as far away from your microwave oven as possible.
If the oven doesn’t work, if the display does not appear or if the display has disappeared Make sure the oven is plugged in securely. If it is not, remove the plug from the socket, wait 10 seconds and plug it in again securely.
Check the premises for a blown circuit fuse or a tripped main circuit breaker. If these seem to be working properly, test the socket with another appliance.
If the microwave power will not work
Make sure the door is securely closed. Otherwise, the microwave energy will not flow into the oven.
Overheat protection
During cooking, when the temperature of the cavity reaches over 300°C, the display will show E-1 and bleep. Press the Stop/Cancel button to eliminate the problem, the oven will revert back to normal.
