How to Use Your Microwave Oven Safely
(Important)
Although your oven is provided with safety features, it is
important to observe the following:
a) It is important not to defeat or tamper with safety interlocks.
b) Do not place any object between the oven and the door or
allow residue to accumulate on sealing surfaces. Wipe the
sealing area frequently with a mild detergent, rinse and
wipe dry. Never use abrasive powders or pads.
c) When opened, the door must not be subjected to strain, for
example, a child hanging on an opened door or any load
could cause the oven to fall forward causing injury and also
damage to the door.
Do not operate the oven if it is damaged, until it has been
repaired by a service engineer trained by Tricity Bendix. It
is particularly important that the oven closes properly and
that it is inspected for damage to the
i) Door (bent)
ii) Hinges and Latches (broken or loosened)
iii) Door seals and Sealing surfaces (broken, dented or
incomplete).
d) It is dangerous for anyone other than a properly qualified
service engineer to carry out adjustments or repairs. See
Service page for details of how to arrange a service call.
e) Small quantities of food or foods with low moisture content
or high fat or sugar content can burn, dry out or catch on
fire if cooked or re-heated too long.
Please note that the heating/cooking period required for
such food is extremely short: for example it only takes
approximately 15 seconds to heat one mince pie or similar.
In the unlikely event of a fire occuring, turn off the oven and
its electrical supply, pull out the plug, but keep the oven
door closed.
Taking Care of Your Microwave Oven
You need a screw driver (Philips type). The lamp is secured
with a tape: Having removed this tape you can take out the
defective lamp and insert the new one. The tape is just for
transportation-locking.
After replacement you must re-fit the lamp cover and secure it
with the screw driver.
Only NOW can you connect the set to the mains again by
putting the plug into the socket.

Wipe the oven inside and out with a mild detergent solution,
rinse, and wipe dry. This should be done on a weekly basis —
more often if needed. Never use abrasive powders or pads.
REMOVABLE PARTS
• The glass turntable can be removed for cleaning at the
sink. Wipe up any spillage with paper towel or cloth prior to
removal of turntable.
• The interior lamp can be replaced by unscrewing the small
cover on the back side of the oven. The lamp is a screw
fitting. 240 volts 25 watts (El4).
LAMP REPLACEMENT INSTRUCTION:
First of all, pull the plug out of the socket. On the rear side of
the microwave oven, you will find the lamp cover which you
have to remove in order to replace the defective lamp.
WARNING
1. Do not heat foods or liquids in bottles or jars with lids on.
Air must be allowed to escape from the container.
2. Milk or food for babies should be heated on MEDIUM, "M".
It should then be stirred thoroughly and the milk or food
should be tested to ensure that it is at the correct
temperature before giving it to the baby. Do not use this
oven to warm infant food or milk once it is in the feeding
bottle.
3. When boiling water or other liquids, be sure to use a wide
mouthed container. This will allow air bubbles to escape
freely. Should a narrow mouthed container be used, air
bubbles may combine to form a large bubble which may in
turn cause the liquid to boil over. This may happen even
after the cooking time has stopped.
4. Do not attempt to operate the oven while empty as this will
cause damage to the appliance.
5. Care should be taken not to obstruct any air vents located
on the rear, side and bottom of the microwave oven.
