CLEANING YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN The following parts of your microwave oven should be cleaned regularly to prevent grease and food particles from building up: • Inside and outside surfaces • Door and door seals • Turntable and Roller rings (Turntable type model only) ALWAYS ensure that the door seals are clean and the door closes properly.
Clean the microwave oven cavity right after each use with a mild detergent solution, but let the microwave oven cool down before cleaning in order to avoid injury. When cleaning the upper part inside the cavity, it will be convenient to turn heater downward by 45 ° and clean it. (Swing heater model only) STORING AND REPAIRING YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN A few simple precautions should be taken when storing or having your microwave oven serviced.
Remove all foreign substances such as dust or water from the power plug terminals and contact points using a dry cloth on a regular basis. Do not use a damaged power plug, damaged power cord or loose wall socket. When the power plug or power cord is damaged, contact your nearest service centre. Do not pull or excessively bend or place heavy objecton the power cord. Do not pour or directly spray water onto the oven. Do not place objects on the oven, inside or on the door of the oven.
Do not operate the microwave oven for deep fat frying because the oil temperature cannot be controlled. This could result in a sudden boil over of the hot liquid. Stir liquids halfway during heating or after heating ends and allow the liquid stand at least 20 seconds after heating to prevent eruptive boiling. Stand at arms length from the oven when opening the door to avoid getting scalded by escaping hot air or steam. CAUTION Do not operate the microwave oven when it is empty.
INSTALLATION & WIRING INSTRUCTIONS IMPORTANT NOTE : The mains lead on this equipment is supplied with a moulded plug incorporating a fuse. The value of the fuse is indicated on the pin face of the plug and, if it requires replacing, a fuse approved to BS1363 of the same rating must be used. Never use the plug with the fuse cover omitted if the cover is detachable. If a replacement fuse cover is required, it must be of the same colour as the pin face of the plug.

The manufacturer of this oven will not accept any liability for damage to persons or material for non observance of these requirements.

cookware guide To cook food in the microwave oven, the microwaves must be able to penetrate the food, without being reflected or absorbed by the dish used. Care must therefore be taken when choosing the cookware. If the cookware is marked microwave-safe, you do not need to worry. The following table lists various types of cookware and indicates whether and how they should be used in a microwave oven.
cooking guide Cooking Guide for frozen vegetables MICROWAVES Food Spinach COOKING Cookware for microwave cooking: Cookware must allow microwave energy to pass through it for maximum efficiency. Microwaves are reflected by metal, such as stainless steel, aluminium and copper, but they can penetrate through ceramic, glass, porcelain and plastic as well as paper and wood. So food must never be cooked in metal containers.
