The microwave oven shall not be placed in a cabinet unless it has been tested in a cabinet. 3. Surface of the oven is protected by a plastic film which should be removed before using. 4. Leave space behind and sides and upper of the oven. All air vents should be kept a clearance. If all vents are covered during operation, the oven may overheat and, eventually, lead to oven failure. 5. Keep away from radio and TV sets. If the oven is located close to a TV, radio interference may result. 6. Keep away from heating appliances and water taps. Keep the oven away from hot air, steam or splash when choosing a place to position it, or the insulation might be adversely affected and breakdowns occur. 7. The minimum height of free space necessary above the top surface of the oven is minimum 170mm. Prior to use (If your oven has a grill element) In order to protect your oven during transportation and storage, the grill element is covered with a protective coating. To remove this coating the grill element must be heated for 5 minutes. This procedure will produce some bad odours as the protective coating on the element disappears. To remove the coating, use the following procedures: 1. Place an overproof and microwave safe bowl, containing 200cc of water or more, in the oven. 2. Press the convection button. 3. Set the time to 5 minutes. 4. Press the start button. 5. When the 5 minutes has elapsed, an acoustic signal sounds. Note: The protective coating has now been removed and the oven is ready to use. Please be aware that your oven now is very hot. 6. Open the oven door and remove the bowl with water (use oven gloves when removing the bowl). CHILD LOCK To prevent child from operating the oven, install the childlock key. 1. Touch Stop/Clear button for 3 seconds. Indicator lock is indicated and all buttons do not operate. 2.

This oven requires a current of approximately 15(12)amperes, 230V 50Hz. · Power supply cord is about 1.2 meters long. · The voltage used must be the same as specified on this oven. Using a higher voltage may result in a fire or other accident causing oven damage. Using low voltage will cause slow cooking. We are not responsible for damage resulting from use of this oven with a voltage of ampere fuse other than those specified. · If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its service agent or a similarly qualified person in order to avoid a hazard. The wire which is coloured GREEN AND YELLOW must be connected to the terminal in the plug which is marked with the letter "E" or the earth symbol or coloured GREEN AND YELLOW, or GREEN.

The wire which is coloured BROWN must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter "L" or coloured RED , or BROWN. If the terminals in the plug are unmarked or you are in any doubt as to the correct connections, consult a qualified electrician. If you do not make the proper electrical connections you will damage your microwave oven and possibly injure yourself. Neither the manufacturer nor the supplier are liable if this happens. MOULDED PLUGS Should it be necessary to remove a moulded on plug from the mains cable, it should be cut off and replaced with a suitable replacement. The moulded plug cannot be used for any other appliance, therefore remove the fuse and dispose immediately and safely to prevent anyone, especially children from plugging it in to a wall socket, which will create a safety hazard. Should the mains lead ever require replacement, it is essential that this operation be carried out by a qualified electrician and should only be replaced with a flexible cord obtained from the manufacturer. Applicable only if moulded plug is fitted. After replacement of a fuse in the plug, the fuse cover must be refitted. If the fuse cover is lost, a replacement cover is obtained. The colour of the correct replacement fuse cover is that of the coloured insert in the base of the plug or the colour that is embossed in words in the base of the plug recess or elsewhere on the plug. Always state this colour when ordering a replacement fuse cover. Only 13 amp replacement fuses which are ASTA approved to BS 1362 should be fitted 2 Electrical Connection WARNING-THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED. REFER TO RATING PLATE FOR VOLTAGE AND CHECK THAT THE APPLIANCE VOLTAGE CORRESPONDS WITH THE SUPPLY VOLTAGE IN YOUR HOME. The flexible mains lead must be correctly connected, as below, to a three pin plug of not less than 13 AMP capacity. You must use a 3 pin plug which should be marked with the number BS 1363 and it should be fitted with 13 AMP fuse marked with the number BS 1362.
