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. Surface of the oven is protected by a plastic film which
should be removed before using.
3. 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.
4. Keep away from radio and TV sets. If the oven is located
close to a TV, radio interference may result.
5. 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.
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 °C Temp pad.
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).
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.
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:
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 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
