CONTROL PANEL
Before first use:
1. Remove all packaging and safely remove any film covering the oven before use. Inspect for any damage, and if found, promptly notify the dealer or contact the manufacturer’s service centre.
2. Place the microwave oven in a dry, non-corrosive environment, away from heat sources and humidity, such as gas burners or water tanks.
3. Ensure adequate ventilation by maintaining a minimum distance of 10cm from the back to the wall, 5cm from the sides to the wall, and at least 20cm of free space above the top surface. The microwave should also be positioned at least 90 cm above the ground.
4. Position the oven away from TVs, radios, or antennas to prevent picture disturbance or noise, maintaining a distance of more than 5m.
5. Place the appliance so that the plug is accessible and ensure proper grounding to prevent electric shock in case of leakage, forming a ground loop.
6. Operate the microwave oven with the door closed at all times.
7. Do not place the microwave oven in a cabinet; it is intended for free-standing use.
8. Due to manufacturing residue or oil on the oven cavity or heat element, there may be an initial odour or slight smoke during the first few uses. This is normal and can be alleviated by placing a cup of water in the cavity, setting it at high power, and operating it several times with the door or window open for good ventilation.

melt, release harmful chemicals, and pose a risk of
contaminating the food.
The following factors may affect the cooking result: Food Arrangement:
COOKING TIPS
Arrange thicker sections towards the dish’s outer edges, thinner parts in the centre and ensure even spreading; overcooking may lead to smoke and burns.
Cooking Time:
Begin cooking with a brief time setting, assess it after the timer expires, and extend it based on actual requirements. Overcooking may lead to smoke and burns.
Cooking Food Evenly:
Food such as meats should be turned once during cooking Depending on the type of food, if applicable, stir it from the outside to the centre of the dish once or twice during cooking.
www.hamiltonbeach.co.uk 10
COOKING TIPS
Allow Standing Time: Allow the food to remain in the oven for a sufficient duration after the cooking time elapses to complete its cooking cycle and facilitate a gradual cooling process. Whether The Food Is Done: The colour and firmness of the food help determine whether it is cooked properly; these factors include: 1. Steam coming out from all parts of food, not just the edge 2. Joints of poultry can be moved easily 3. Pork or poultry shows no signs of blood 4. Fish is opaque and can be sliced easily with a fork
Browning Dish: When using a browning dish or a self-heating container, always place a heat-resistant insulator such as a porcelain plate under it to prevent damage to the turntable and rotating ring. Microwave Safe Plastic Film: If you are using a microwave safe plastic film specifically designed for microwave use, then ensure that when cooking food with a high fat content – do not allow the film to come into contact with the food as it may melt, due to the high temperature of the fat. Microwave Safe Plastic Cookware: Certain plastic cookware labelled as microwave-safe may not be suitable for cooking high-fat or high-sugar content foods. Refrain from using plastic cookware for extended periods of microwave cooking.

CAUTION!
The microwave oven should be cleaned regularly and any food deposits removed.
1. Turn off the oven and unplug it from the wall socket before cleaning.
