BEFORE OPERATION
Your oven has an Energy Save Mode.
This facility saves electricity when the oven is not in use.
To operate the oven:
1. Plug in the oven. Nothing will appear on the display at this time.
2. Open the door.
The display will flash:
3. Close the door.
The display will show:
NOTES: If you do not operate the oven for 3 minutes or more (i.e. after closing the door, pressing the
STOP/CLEAR key, or at the end of cooking), you will not be able to operate the oven until
you open and close the oven door. Whilst in Energy Save Mode the display is blank.
When new, the very first time the grills are used, smoke and odour will be given off.
To avoid this happening when food is being cooked, heat the grills without food for approx.
20 minutes. (Please refer to note on page 10.)

cook at 100% unless you press the MICRO
POWER key to the desired setting.

To check the microwave power level during
