This does not indicate that the appliance is faulty and it can be particularly noticeable if the ambient temperature of the room is high.
Plastic Microwave-safe only. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions. It should be labelled as “microwave safe”. Some plastic containers soften as the food inside gets hot. “Boiling bags” and tightly closed plastic bags should be slit, pierced or vented, as described by the package. Plastic wrap Microwave-safe only. Use to cover food during cooking to retain moisture. Do not allow the plastic wrap to touch the food. Thermometers Microwave-safe only. Meat and candy thermometers.
* Combination mode applies to microwave + grill and microwave + convection modes. Cleaning and maintenance Cleaning operations must only be carried out when the oven is cool. The appliance should be disconnected from your mains supply before commencing any cleaning process. The appliance exterior o You should wipe over the front of the appliance with a soft cloth and warm water mixed with a little washing up liquid.
o The microwave should be thoroughly cleaned before it is operated for the first time and after each use. This will avoid residual food stuffs becoming baked on the oven cavity. After residues have been baked on several times, they are far more difficult to remove. o Never clean the oven surfaces by steam cleaning. o If you use any form of oven cleaner on your appliance, then you must check with the manufacturer of the cleaner that it is suitable for use on your appliance.
o This appliance is supplied with a moulded plug, which must be connected to an earthed socket. o If in future you need to change the fuse in this plug, then a 13 amp ASTA approved (BS 1362) fuse must be used. o If the earthed socket is not accessible after the appliance is installed. Then the microwave must be wired into a 13 A double pole switched fused spur outlet, having 3 mm contact separation and placed in an easily accessible position adjacent to the appliance.
Aperture and ventilation requirements o The diagram above shows the aperture and ventilation requirements that you require to build the appliance into a housing unit. o Ensure that the rear panel of the furniture housing unit has been removed. o This oven may be installed without any additional ventilation cut outs being made in the housing unit. However the ventilation cut shown in the diagram MUST be present, otherwise the microwave oven may not function correctly.
Built under installation requirements IMPORTANT: NO OTHER METHODS OF BUILDING UNDER THE MICROWAVE ARE SANCTIONED BY BAUMATIC. o The rear wall of the housing unit MUST be removed to allow there to be the correct amount of ventilation. o The ventilation gaps below the support shelf and below the worktop MUST be adhered to. o An induction hob MUST NOT be fitted above the microwave.
o WARNING: Children should not be allowed near to the appliance unsupervised. Supplied installation components Preparing the housing unit o Your appliance will be supplied with an installation template, which you should follow when preparing the housing unit. o Place the template on the base of the housing unit and tape it into position. o IMPORTANT: The edge of template must be completely level with the front edge of the housing unit.
o IMPORTANT: The centre line on the template MUST be positioned in the middle of the housing unit. o You should make marks on the base of the housing unit, in the positions marked with the letter “a” on the template. o For the next step in the preparing the housing unit process, you will require 10 x screw A and the bottom brackets. o Remove the template from the base of the housing unit. o Fix the bottom brackets to the base of the housing unit, using screw A.
Installing the oven into a housing unit o Fit adjustment screw B into the adjustment screw-hole on the top of the microwave. Adjustment screw B should not be fully tightened at this stage. o Place the microwave into the housing unit. o IMPORTANT: Do not push the microwave fully into the housing unit, as you still need to be able to access adjustment screw B at this stage of the installation. o IMPORTANT: Make sure that the oven feet are sitting correctly in the grooves on the bottom brackets.
o Turn adjustment screw B, ensuring that there is a 1 mm gap between adjustment screw B and the underneath of the top surface of the housing unit. o Push the microwave fully into the housing unit. o IMPORTANT: Care should be taken to ensure that you do not trap or kink the power cord. o Open the microwave door and locate screw-hole C. Use screw C to fix the microwave oven to the housing unit.
Troubleshooting o The microwave will not switch on. * Check that the appliance has been connected to the mains supply correctly. * Check that the fuse in the moulded plug has not blown. * Check that the fuses in your fuse box have not blown. * If fuses blow on a regular basis, then we would recommend that you consult with a qualified electrician. * Check that there has not been a power cut. o The microwave will not start cooking. * Check that the door is properly shut.
o I am getting condensation in my oven * Steam and condensation are a natural by product of cooking in a microwave. * Do not leave food in the oven to cool after it has been cooked and the oven has been switched off. * Use a covered container, where practical, when cooking to reduce the amount of condensation that forms. * You should wipe over any condensation that has formed, as soon as the food has stopped cooking.
