The electrical safety of this appli-
ance can only be guaranteed when
continuity is complete between the ap-
pliance and an effective earthing sys-
tem, which complies with local and na-
tional safety regulations. It is most im-
portant that this basic safety require-
ment is present. If in any doubt, the
electrical wiring should be checked by
a qualified electrician.
The manufacturer cannot be held liable
for the consequences of an inadequate
earthing system (e.g. electric shock).
The appliance is only completely
isolated from the electricity supply
when:
– it is switched off at the wall socket
and the plug removed.
Do not pull on the cable, only on the
plug.
– the mains fuse is withdrawn.
– or the screw-out fuse is removed (in
countries where this is applicable).
Do not connect the appliance to
the mains electricity supply by an
extension lead.
Extension leads do not guarantee the
required safety of the appliance, (e.g.
danger of overheating).
Ensure that current is not supplied
to the appliance while maintenance
or repair work is being carried out.
This equipment is not designed for
maritime use or for use in mobile
installations such as caravans, aircraft
etc. However it may be suitable for
such usage subject to a risk assess-
ment of the installation being carried
out by a suitably qualified engineer.
Use
Always ensure that food is suffi-
ciently heated.
Many factors will affect the overall
cooking time, including the size and
amount of food, its initial temperature,
changes to the recipe and the shape
and size of cooking container.
Some foods may contain micro organ-
isms which are only destroyed by thor-
ough cooking, therefore when cooking
or reheating foods, e.g. poultry, it is
particularly important that food is fully
cooked through (at temperatures over
70 °C for at least 10 minutes). If in
doubt select a longer cooking or re-
heating time.
It is important that the heat is al-
lowed to spread evenly throughout
the food being cooked.
This can be achieved by stirring and/or
turning the food, and by observing a
sufficiently long standing time, which
should be added to the time needed for
cooking, re-heating or defrosting.
Always remember that times for
cooking, reheating and defrosting
are usually considerably shorter than
with traditional methods of food prepa-
ration.
Excessively long cooking times can
lead to food drying out and burning, or
could even cause it to catch fire. There
is also a danger of fire if breadcrumbs,
flowers, herbs, etc., are dried in the mi-
crowave oven. Always ensure that this
type of procedure is supervised.
