Getting Started (Cont.)
Electrical connection
• This appliance must be earthed. We accept no liability for damage to the
oven or personal injury resulting from failure to observe any electrical
connection procedures. In the event of a malfunction or breakdown,
earthing will reduce the risk of an electric shock by providing a path of least
resistance for the current.
• The plug must be connected to an appropriate outlet that is installed
and earthed in accordance with all local standards and requirements. If
unsure, consult an electrician or a service representative. Do not, under any
circumstances, cut or remove the third grounding prong from the power plug.
• It is recommended that a separate circuit be provided for use by the
microwave oven alone.
• Make sure that the power cord does not run under the oven and that the
socket is readily accessible so it can be easily unplugged in an emergency.
Before first use
The appliance may produce fumes or odour when it is first heating up. This
is due to the components being new and can be disregarded safely. We
recommend you place a cup of water on the turntable and run the microwave
oven on full power for a few times until all odour and/or smoke has dissipated
(see page 16 for usage instructions). Ensure there is adequate ventilation.
Microwave cookware details
Cookware used in a microwave oven must be microwave safe. Suitable materials
are listed in the table overleaf.
• Shape of cooking container: We recommend round/oval dishes for micro-
wave cooking rather than square/oblong ones, as food in the corners of a
container tends to overcook.
• Heating liquids: Use a wide-mouthed container for heating liquid, and when
it is hot, wait a few moments before opening the container in order to avoid
possible hazards caused by delayed eruptive boiling.
• Placement: Make sure the cooking container does not touch the interior walls
during cooking.
• Metal: Microwaves cannot penetrate metal, so do not use any cookware
made of or containing metal, such as dishes with a metallic trim, metal
racks, trays or utensils, aluminium foil, or foil containers.
• Recycled paper products: Do not use these when microwave cooking, as
they may contain small metal fragments which may cause sparks and/or fires.
• Browning dish: When using a browning dish or self-heating container, always
place a heat-resistant insulator such as a porcelain plate under it to prevent
damage to the turntable and rotating ring.
