To promote trouble-free use of your oven and avoid damage.

Never operate the oven when it is empty except where recommended in the operation manual, see Page GB-7. Doing so may damage the oven.

When using a browning dish or self-heating material, always place a heat-resistant insulator such as a porcelain plate under it to prevent damage to the turntable due to heat stress. The preheating time specified in the dish’s instructions must not be exceeded.

Do not use metal utensils, which reflect microwaves and may cause electrical arcing. Do not put cans in the oven.

Use only the turntable designed for this oven.

Do not place anything on the outer cabinet during operation.

Do not use plastic containers for microwaving if the oven is still hot from using the GRILL, DUAL GRILL and AUTOMATIC operation (except AUTO DEFROST), because they may melt. Plastic containers must not be used during above modes

unless the container manufacturer says they are suitable.

Do not use the utensils which touch the oven cavity wall and door during cooking. Use the utensils which turn smoothly in the oven during cooking. Use the utensils which are smaller than the turntable (275mm diameter).

NOTE:

If you are unsure how to connect your oven, please consult an authorised, qualified electrician. Neither the manufacturer nor the dealer can accept any liability for damage to the oven or personal injury resulting from failure to observe the correct electrical connection procedure.

Water vapour or drops may occasionally form on the oven walls or around the door seals and sealing surfaces. This is a normal occurrence and is not an indication of microwave leakage or a malfunction.

This symbol means that the surfaces are liable to get hot during use.

INSTALLATION

1.Remove all packing materials from the inside of the oven cavity. Discard the loose polythene sheet from between the door and cavity. Remove the feature sticker, if attached, from the outside of the door.

2.Check the oven carefully for any signs of damage.

3.Place the oven on a flat, level surface strong enough to support the oven’s weight plus the heaviest item likely to be cooked. Do not place the oven in a cabinet.

4.The oven door may become hot during cooking. Place or mount the oven so that the bottom of the oven is 85 cm or more above the floor. Keep children away from the door to prevent them burning themselves.

5.Do not allow the power supply cord to run over any hot or sharp surfaces, such as the hot air vent area at the top rear of the oven.

6.Ensure there is a minimum of free space above the oven of 18 cm.

18 cm

7.Securely connect the plug of the oven to a standard earthed (grounded) household electrical outlet.
