and in the event of the socket outlet in your home 
not being compatible with the plug supplied, 
remove the plug properly (do not cut off  ).

•  If the plug fitted to your oven is a non-rewirable 

type and in the event of the socket outlet in your

3.  Place the oven on a secure, level surface, strong 

enough to take the oven weight, plus the heaviest 
item likely to be cooked in the oven. Do not place 
the oven in a cabinet.

4.  Select a level surface that provides enough open

•  In the process of clock setting, if the STOP/CLEAR button is pressed, the oven will go back to the former setting.
•  If the electrical power supply to your microwave oven is interrupted, the display will intermittently show 

"0:00" after the power is reinstated. If this occurs during cooking, the programme will be erased. The time of 
day will also be erased.

Your oven has 5 power levels and to set the power follow the instruction below:

• Press the MICROWAVE button once, P100 will be 

displayed and at the same time the microwave 
indicator and high heat indicator will light up on

•  To check the power level during cooking, press the 

MICROWAVE button, the current power level will 
be displayed for 4 seconds. The oven will continue 
to count down although the display will show the 
power level.

HIGH = 100 %

MEDIUM HIGH = 80 %

MEDIUM = 50 %

MEDIUM LOW = 30 %

LOW = 10 %

Generally the following recommendations apply:

P100 - (HIGH output = 800 W) used for fast cooking 
or reheating e.g. for casseroles, hot beverages, 
vegetables etc.
P80 - (MEDIUM HIGH output = 640 W ) used for longer 
cooking of dense foods such as roast joints, meat loaf 
and plated meals, also for sensitive dishes such as 
sponge cakes. At this reduced setting, the food will 
cook evenly without over cooking at the sides.

P50 - (MEDIUM output = 400 W ) for dense foods 
which require a long cooking time when cooked 
conventionally, e.g. beef casserole, it is advisable to 
use this power setting to ensure the meat will be 
tender.
P30 - (MEDIUM LOW output = 240 W Defrost setting) 
to defrost, select this power setting, to ensure that 
the dish defrosts evenly. This setting is also ideal for 
simmering rice, pasta, dumplings and cooking egg 
custard.
P10 - (LOW output = 80 W) For gentle defrosting, e.g. 
cream gateaux or pastry.
