WARNINGS:
Oil & Fat: Never heat oil or fat for deep frying as this may lead to overheating and fire. Stand back
when opening the oven door to allow heat or steam to disperse. When removing covers (such as
cling-film), opening roasting bags or popcorn packaging, direct steam away from face and hands. 

• Remove food from foil or metal containers before reheating.
• Reheating times will be affected by the shape, depth, quantity and temperature of food together

with the size, shape and material of the container.

• To avoid overheating and fire, special care must be taken when reheating foods with a high

sugar or fat content, for example, mince pies, Christmas pudding.

•  Canned potatoes should not be heated in the microwave oven, follow the manufacturers’

instructions on the can.

Remove any poultry or meat portions, reheat
these separately, see below. Place smaller items of
food to the centre of the plate, larger and thicker foods
to the edge. Cover with vented microwave cling-film
and reheat on 50% (MEDIUM), stir/rearrange halfway
through reheating. Ensure food is thoroughly reheated
before serving.

Cover with vented microwave cling-film or suitable lid,
reheat on 50% (MEDIUM). Stir frequently to ensure
even reheating.

Place thickest parts of the portions on the outside of the
dish, cover with microwave cling-film and reheat on
70%  (MEDIUM HIGH). Turn over halfway through.
NOTE: Ensure poultry is thoroughly reheated,
before serving.

Cover with vented microwave cling-film and reheat on
MEDIUM (50%). Rearrange at least once to ensure

Ensure all food splashes are wiped off immediately
after use, otherwise it is possible that any food
deposits will become baked onto the rear of the oven
cavity resulting in staining of the polished surface,
which may then be impossible to remove. Slight
tarnishing of the oven cavity around the area of the
convection heater is likely to occur. This effect does
not indicate a problem.

Take care not to let soapy water drip through the
small holes in the oven walls and the cavity floor
particularly if the turntable and turntable support are
removed. Excess water spillage through these holes
will cause damage to the oven interior. It is important
that the door seals and sealing surfaces are kept
clean at all times, wipe regularly with a damp cloth.

OUTER CABINET
Wipe the outside cabinet with a mild detergent
solution on a soft cloth. The control panel must be
wiped clean whilst the door is open, therefore
deactivating the oven.

8. Take the cup out of the oven and close the door.

Programme the oven on convection 180˚C for 3
minutes and press the START AUTO/MINUTE
key.
Does the oven light come on?

Does the turntable rotate?

After 3 minutes is the oven cavity hot? YES/NO

If you answer “NO” to any question first check that
the oven is plugged in properly and the fuse has not
blown.  If there is no fault with either contact the
dealer from whom the oven was purchased in order
to obtain service.  Where this is not possible, please
contact the telephone number given below. You will
then be given details of how to obtain service.

Telephone:  0345 125387

All calls will be charged at local rate.

If you think the oven is not working properly there are
some simple checks you can carry out yourself before
calling an engineer. This will help prevent unnecessary
service calls if the fault is something simple.
Simply answer “YES” or “NO” to the following
questions:
1. Does the oven lamp come on when you 

open the door?

(Put half a cup of water in the oven, on the turn-
table and close the door. Press the 1 MIN key
once and then the AUTO/MINUTE START key.)

2. Does the oven lamp come on?

3. Does the turntable rotate?

4. Does the cooling fan work? (Check by 

placing your hand above the air-vent 
openings)

5. After 1 minute does the "beep" sound? YES/NO
6. Is the water in the cup hot?

7.  Press the 1 MIN key 3 times and then press

GRILL followed by the  AUTO
MINUTE/START key.
At the end of 3 minutes does the grill 
heater become hot ?

If the display shows nothing even if the power plug is properly connected, the energy save 
mode should carry on. To release it, open and then close the oven door. Refer to page 6.
