Unpacking and Getting Ready

This microwave is designed for home use. 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 of the packaging from the 

inside of the microwave. Please dispose of the 

plastic wrappings/ bags safely and keep out of 

the reach of babies and young children.

2.  Choose a flat, stable work surface for your 

microwave away from heat sources such as 

radiators or fires and away from cold areas. 

The surface should be at least 85cm above the 

floor. Place the back of the microwave against 

a wall and allow a 20 cm space on both sides 

of the unit and 30 cm above so that warm air 

can escape from the vents during cooking. This 

microwave is not designed to be built in. Do not 

block any intake or outlet openings as this can 

damage the unit. (See Fig. 1)

3.  Plug your microwave into a standard household 

electrical socket (230 - 240

 

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 ring inside the microwave and 

place the glass turntable on top of the ring. (See 

Fig. 2) The turntable is shaped to sit securely on 

the spindle. You must always use the turntable 

and ring whenever you use the microwave.

5.  To protect your work surface, we recommend 

that you fix some non-slip cushion pads (not 

included) to the underside of the microwave. 

(See Fig. 3)
