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 kilometres, microwaves are very short (less than 12.5 centimetres). Microwaves do not make any heat themselves but only cause water molecules in food to vibrate. This vibration produces 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.

Unpacking your microwave oven

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. Please ensure you keep this cover clean at all time.

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

This microwave oven weighs approximately 1 2kg so you must put it on a horizontal surface that is strong enough to support this weight.

The oven must be placed away from high temperatures and steam.

Do not put anything on the top of the microwave oven.

Safety instructions

➢ 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.

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

➢ 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.

For Customer Services & Spare Parts please call 0845 209 7461 Opening times: Monday Friday 9am – 5pm

Safety instructions

➢ 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.

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

➢ 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.

Safety instructions

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 and if using paper or plastic containers check regularly to ensure they do not ignite.

➢ Remove wire twist-ties from bags before putting the bag in the oven.

➢ If materials inside the oven smoke or catch fire, keep the oven door closed to stifle the flames, turn the oven off at the wall switch, or shut the power off at the fuse or circuit-breaker panel.

➢If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.

Safety instructions

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.

Warning: do not use the microwave when it is empty.

Non-rewireable mains plug

If your appliance is supplied with a non-rewireable plug fitted to the mains lead you will find that it incorporates a fuse, the value of which is indicated either on the base of the plug or on the fuse carrier. Should the fuse need replacing, you must use an ASTA approved fuse (conforming to BS1362) of the same rating.

If the fuse cover is lost the plug must not be used until a replacement is obtained from an electrical supplier.

If you need to remove the plug, cut it from the mains lead and dispose of it. Never attempt to re-use this plug or insert it into a socket outlet, as there is a very great risk of an electric shock .

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 -

➢ Make sure the mains plug 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 –

➢ Check to see whether the timer is set.

➢ Make sure the door is securely closed. Otherwise, the microwave energy will not flow into the oven
