2. Choose a flat and stable work surface for

your microwave away from heat sources

such as radiators or fires and away from

cold and humid areas. You should allow

10cm space at the back, 5cm on either

side, and 20cm above so that warm air can

escape from the vents during cooking. This

microwave is not designed to be built in.

getting ready

This microwave is designed for home use only. It should not be used for commercial catering.
1. After unpacking your microwave, check that it has not been damaged whilst in the box. Make

sure there are no dents, and the door closes properly. A damaged microwave could allow

microwave energy to escape. Make sure that you have taken out all the packaging from inside

the microwave. Please dispose of the plastic wrappings / bags safely and keep out of the reach

of babies and young children.

3. Plug your microwave into a standard

household electrical socket (230 volt, 13

amp rated). Avoid using a socket that

also has an adaptor and other equipment

plugged in. Do not use a multi-adaptor.

4. Put the turntable support inside the

microwave and place the glass turntable

plate on top of the support. The turntable

support is shaped to sit securely on the

spindle. You must always use the turntable

plate and support whenever you use the

microwave.
