The heating category (a letter A to E) developed by
MAFF (Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food)
with microwave oven and food manufacturers
indicates the ability of the oven to heat small
quantities of food (up to 500g [ I lb 2oz]). It does not
represent the general performance of the oven.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS: READ
CAREFULLY AND KEEP FOR FUTURE REFERENCE
To avoid the danger of fire.
The microwave oven should not be left unattended
during operation. Power levels that are too high,
or cooking times that are too long, may overheat
foods resulting in a fire.
This oven is designed to be used on a countertop
only. It is not designed to be built into a kitchen unit.
Do not place the oven in a cabinet.
The electrical outlet must be readily accessible so that
the unit can be unplugged easily in an emergency.
The AC power supply must be 230-240V, 50Hz with
a 10A distribution line fuse, or a 10A distribution
circuit breaker.
A separate circuit serving only this appliance should
be provided.
Do not place the oven in areas where heat is generated.
For example, close to a conventional oven.
Do not install the oven in an area of high humidity or
where moisture may collect.
Do not store or use the oven outdoors.
