About this microwave oven Microwaves are high-frequency electromagnetic waves similar to radio waves. While radio waves may vary in length from one metre to many kilometres, microwaves are very short (less than 12.5 centimetres). Microwaves do not make any heat themselves but only cause water molecules in food to vibrate. This vibration produces the heat that cooks the food. This is why your food will come out of the microwave piping hot, when your utensils inside the oven stay much cooler.
Safety instructions Warning: this oven must be positioned so that the plug is accessible and the plug socket is within easy reach of the power cord. Warning: when the appliance is operated in the combination or grill mode, children should only use the oven under adult supervision due to the temperatures generated. ¾ Children should be supervised to ensure they do not play with the appliance, and the appliance and cable should be kept completely out of reach of young children.
¾ ¾ ¾ ¾ ¾ ¾ ¾ Always test the temperature of cooked food, never eat or drink food or liquid straight from the oven, allow it to stand for a few minutes and stir to distribute the heat evenly. Microwave heating of beverages can result delayed eruptive boiling, therefore care must be taken when handling the container. Food containing a mixture of fat and water (for example, stock) should stand for 30 to 60 seconds in the oven after it has been turned off.

Non-rewireable mains plug If your appliance is supplied with a non-rewireable plug fitted to the mains lead you will find that it incorporates a fuse, the value of which is indicated either on the base of the plug or on the fuse carrier. Should the fuse need replacing, you must use an ASTA approved fuse (conforming to BS1362) of the same rating. If the fuse cover is lost the plug must not be used until a replacement is obtained from an electrical supplier.
