INSTALLATION AND EARTHING INSTRUCTIONS
How to examine your microwave oven after unpacking.
Unpack oven, remove all packing material, and examine the
oven for any damage such as dents, broken door, latches or
cracks in the door. Do not remove the film from inside the door.
Notify dealer immediately if the oven is damaged. Do not install if
the oven is damaged.
Where to place your microwave oven.
1. Place the oven on a flat and stable surface.
2. The microwave oven shall not be placed in a cabinet unless it
is a purpose built cabinet model.
3. The surface of the oven is protected by a plastic film which
should be removed before using.
4. Leave space behind and the sides and upper surface of the
oven. All air vents should be kept clear.
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 splashes 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 170mm minimum.
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 10 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 ovenproof or microwave safe bowl, containing 200cc
of water or more, in the oven.
2. Press the convection button.
3. Set the time to 10 minutes.
4. Press the start button.
5. When the 10 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 is now very hot.
6. Open the oven door and remove the bowl of water (use oven
gloves when removing the bowl).
- WARNING:
Only allow children to use the oven without
supervision when adequate instructions have been given so
that the child is able to use the oven in a safe way and
understands the hazards of improper use.
Electrical Connection
WARNING-THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED.
REFER TO THE 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 re-connected, as below,
to a three pin plug of not less than 13 AMP capacities. 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.
We recommend the use of good quality plugs and wall sockets
that can be switched off when the machine is not in use.
IMPORTANT-
The wires in the mains lead fitted to this appliance
are coloured in accordance with the following code
GREEN AND YELLOW-EARTH
BLUE-NEUTRAL
BROWN-LIVE
As the colour of the wires in the mains lead of this appliance may
not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the
terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:
Power supply
• Check your local power source. This oven requires a current of
approximately 12amperes, 230V 50Hz.
• Power supply cord is about 1.4 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 BLUE must be connected to the
terminal which is marked with the letter "N" or coloured BLACK,
or BLUE.
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 must be
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
