Thank you for having chosen a Tricity product. We are convinced that you will find your new microwave oven  
very useful and that it will be of great help to you. As with all new kitchen appliances, it will take some time to  
learn all the new functions and features, but with time, this oven will become indispensable to you.  
Before using your Microwave Oven  
Read through the instruction manual carefully and ensure that you follow the recommendations given, these  
instructions have been prepared so that you get the best from your new Tricity Microwave Oven.  
It is important that this instruction book is retained with the appliance for future reference. Should the appliance  
be sold or transferred to another owner, or if you move house and leave the appliance, always ensure that the  
book is supplied with the appliance so that the new owner can be acquainted with the functioning of the  
appliance and the relevant warnings.  
Safety Instructions  
The built-in safety interlock switches prevent the  
microwave oven from operating when the door is  
open.  
Do not tamper with them, or attempt to operate  
the oven with the door open as open door  
operation can result in exposure to microwave  
energy.  
Do not allow food spills or cleaner residue to  
accumulate on door sealing surfaces. See the  
Cleaning and Care section for cleaning  
instructions.  
Do not operate the oven if it is damaged until it  
has been repaired by qualified service personnel.  
It is particularly important that the oven door  
closes properly and that there is no damage to  
the: (1) door (warped), (2) hinges and latches  
(broken or insecure), (3) door seals and sealing  
surface.  
Do not operate the oven empty. If food or water is  
not present to absorb the microwave energy, the  
magnetron tube can be damaged.  
Close supervision is necessary when the oven is  
used by children.  
Do not store this appliance outdoors. Do not use  
this product near water.  
Do not attempt to dry clothing or newspapers in  
the microwave oven. These items can ignite.  
Do not use the cavity for storage purposes. Do  
not leave paper products, cooking utensils, or  
food in the cavity when not in use.  
Utensil safety  
Most glass, glass ceramic and heat-resistant  
glassware utensils are excellent for use in the  
microwave oven. Although microwave energy will not  
heat most glass and ceramic items, these utensils  
can become hot as heat transfers from the food to  
the container. The use of oven gloves to remove  
dishes is recommended.  
Under no circumstances should you attempt to  
repair the appliance yourself. Repairs carried out  
by inexperienced persons may cause injury or  
serious malfunctioning. Contact your local Service  
Force Centre.  
Do not remove the outer case, door or control  
panel at any time. Doing so may cause exposure  
to extremely high voltage.  
Install or locate this oven only in accordance with  
“INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS” found in this  
manual.  
Use the appliance for its intended use as  
described in this manual. Do not use corrosive  
chemicals in this appliance. This type of oven is  
specifically designed to heat, cook, or defrost  
food. It is not designed for industrial or laboratory  
use neither for commercial use as this will  
invalidate the guarantee.

Testing suitability of cookware  
Food safety  
Place the cookware in the cavity along with a  
glass half full of water. Heat on 700 W (100%) for  
one minute. If the cookware feels hot, you should  
not use it. If it is just slightly warm, you can use it  
for reheating but not for cooking. If the dish is  
room temperature, it is suitable for microwave  
cooking.  
Paper napkins, wax paper, paper towels, plates,  
cups, cartons, freezer wrap and cardboard are  
great convenience utensils. Always be sure  
containers are filled with food to absorb energy  
and thus avoid the possibility of overheating.  
Many plastic dishes, cups, freezer containers and  
plastic wraps may be used in the microwave  
oven. Follow manufacturer’s instructions when  
using plastics in the oven. Avoid using plastic  
utensils with foods that have high fat or sugar  
content since these foods reach high  
temperatures and could melt some plastics.  
Do not leave oven unattended, and look at it from  
time to time when heating or cooking food in  
plastic, paper or other combustible containers. If  
smoke is observed, keep door closed, switch the  
oven off or disconnect oven until smoke stops.  
Metal utensils and utensils with metallic trim  
should not be used in the microwave oven, unless  
specifically recommended for microwave use.  
Containers with restricted openings, such as  
bottles, should not be used for microwave  
cooking.  
Do not heat food in a can in the microwave oven.  
Always remove the food to a suitable container.  
Deep fat frying should not be done in the  
microwave oven, because the fat temperature  
cannot be controlled, hazardous situations can  
result.  
Popcorn may be prepared in the microwave oven,  
but only in special packages or utensils designed  
specifically for this purpose. This cooking  
operation should never be un-attended.  
Pierce foods with non-porous skins or  
membranes to prevent steam build-up and  
bursting. Apples, potatoes, chicken livers, and  
egg yolks are examples of items that should be  
pierced.  
WARNING: When heating liquids, e.g. soups, sauces  
and beverages in your microwave oven, overheating  
the liquid beyond boiling point can occur without  
evidence of bubbling. This could result in a sudden  
boil over of the hot liquid. To prevent this possibility  
the following steps should be taken:  
1. Avoid using straight-sided containers with narrow  
necks.  
2. Do not overheat.  
3. Stir the liquid before placing the container in the  
oven and again halfway through the heating time.  
4. After heating, allow to stand in the oven for a  
short time, stirring again before carefully removing  
the container.  
Use caution when removing a lid or cover from a  
dish to avoid steam burns.  
Some products such as whole eggs and sealed  
containers – for example, closed glass jars – may  
explode and should not be heated in this oven.  
Occasionally, poached eggs may explode during  
cooking. Always pierce the yolk, then cover and  
allow the standing time of one minute before  
removing cover.  
NOTE:  
Do not force the turntable to rotate by hand. This  
may cause malfunctioning.  
Arcing in the oven during microwave operation  
usually occurs from use of metallic utensils.  
Continuous arcing, however, can damage the  
unit. Stop the programme and check the utensil.  
Care should be taken not to obstruct any air vents  
located on the top, rear, side and bottom of the  
oven.  
Do not use this oven for commercial purposes.  
This oven is made for domestic use only.  
Keep these instructions

GETTING STARTED  
Unpacking  
Connecting to the mains  
N.B. When you unpack the oven, check that the  
product is free from damage. Damage or any missing  
parts must be reported immediately to the retailer.  
The oven, parts of the oven or the accessories may  
be wrapped by a protection foil. If so, you must  
remove this foil before using the oven. Do not leave  
packing material so that small children can play with  
it. This can be hazardous.  
The oven is delivered with the power cord and a plug  
for 220-240V, 50Hz, earthed socket outlet. Earth  
protection minimises the risks should a short-circuit  
occur. Check to ensure the voltage of the oven  
matches the supply.  
N.B. If the oven is connected to the socket via an  
extension cord, make sure the cord is earthed.  
WARNING! This appliance must not be used on a  
non-earth protected power supply.  
Installation  
Contact an electrician if you are uncertain regarding  
electrical connection of the oven or provision of earth  
protection of the supply.  
1. Remove any promotion label from the door.  
2. Install the oven on a flat, level surface. The  
surface must be strong enough to safely bear the  
weight (13.5 kg) of the oven, and the contents. To  
avoid the possibility of causing vibration or noise  
the oven must be in a stable position.  
3. Keep the oven away from heat and water.  
Exposure to heat and water can lower oven  
efficiency and lead to malfunctioning, so be sure  
to install the oven away from heat and water  
sources.  
This appliance must be earthed. If this appliance is  
fitted with a non-rewireable plug for which your socket  
is unsuitable, the plug should be cut off and the  
appropriate plug fitted. If it is necessary to change the  
fuse in a non-rewireable plug, the fuse cover must be  
refitted. If the fuse cover is lost or damaged, the plug  
must not be used until a replacement is obtained.  
4. Do not block air vents on the top and the sides of  
the cabinet and also do not place any articles on  
the top of the oven. If air vents are blocked during  
operation, the oven may overheat, and this may  
lead to malfunctioning. Hot air escapes from the  
vents, so be sure not to obstruct it or let curtains  
come between the oven and the rear wall.  
5. Place the oven as far away from radios and TV’s  
as possible. This oven does conform to EEC  
requirements* of radio interference suppression,  
but some interference may occur if it is placed too  
close to a radio or TV, so keep them as far apart  
as possible.  
6. If positioned in a corner, leave a gap of at least  
5,0 cm from the walls to meet ventilation  
demands.  
Important! The oven can be placed almost anywhere  
in the kitchen. Make sure the oven is placed on a flat,  
level surface and that vents as well as the surface  
underneath the oven are not blocked (for sufficient  
ventilation).  
* This appliance conforms to the requirements of  
EEC Radio Interference Directive 87/308/EEC.

WARNING! THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED.  
The manufacturer declines any liability should this safety measure not be observed.  
If the plug that is fitted to your appliance is not suitable for your socket outlet, it must be cut off and the  
appropriate plug fitted.  
Remove the fuse from the cut off plug. The cut off plug should then be disposed of to prevent the hazard of  
shocks in case it should be plugged into a 13 Amp socket in another part of your home.  
IMPORTANT  
The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:  
GREEN AND YELLOW  
BLUE  
BROWN  
EARTH  
NEUTRAL  
LIVE  
If you fit your own plug, the colours of the wires in the mains lead of your appliance may not correspond with  
the markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:  
• Connect the green and yellow (earth) wire to the terminal in the plug  
which is marked with the letter ”E” or the earth symbol (  
coloured green and yellow.  
) or  
• Connect the blue (neutral) wire to the terminal in the plug which is  
marked with the letter ”N” or coloured black.  
• Connect the brown (live) wire to the terminal in the plug which is  
marked with the letter ”L” or coloured red.

Microwave Hints  
Microwave Tips  
Always keep the oven clean – avoid spill-overs  
and do not forget to clean under the glass tray  
and the inside of the door.  
Preferably use round or oval casseroles with a lid  
when cooking in your microwave oven.  
Do not use metal or metal decorated casseroles.  
Certain plastic materials can melt and be warped  
by hot food.  
Softening Honey  
If you have a jar of honey which has  
crystallised, remove lid and place the jar in the  
oven, microwave on medium power for 2  
minutes.  
Melting Chocolate  
Break 100g of chocolate into squares, place in  
a bowl and heat on high power for 1-2  
minutes and stir well.  
Cover the food when cooking. Use a glass lid, a  
plate or grease proof paper.  
Pastry, bread and the like can be defrosted  
directly in a bread basket or on a paper towel.  
If frozen food is heated in its packaging, the  
packaging should be opened. Packaging  
containing metal or metal decoration must not be  
used unless specifically recommended for use in  
the microwave. Remove metal clips and wire ties.  
Smaller pieces of aluminium foil can be used to  
cover parts that easily over cook such as chicken  
legs.  
Food with peel or skin should be pierced with a  
fork – e.g. potatoes and sausages. Do not boil  
eggs in the microwave oven as they can explode.  
Put large, thick pieces close to the edge of the  
casserole and try to cut the food in to even sized  
pieces. Always place the food in the centre of the  
oven.  
Softening or Melting Butter  
Melting takes a few seconds on high power.  
Softening is best done more gently on low  
power.  
Freshen or Warm Bread  
Use medium power for few seconds.  
Peeling Garlic easily  
Heat 3 or 4 cloves of garlic on high power for  
15 seconds. Squeeze at one end until the  
clove pops out.  
Fruit Juice  
Citrus fruits will yield more juice if they are  
heated on high power for 15 seconds before  
squeezing.  
The food will be evenly cooked if you stir or turn it  
a few times.  
Cooking Porridge  
Always set a shorter cooking time than indicated  
in your recipe to avoid over cooking. The larger  
the amount of food the longer it takes.  
Use little or no water for vegetables.  
Use less salt and spices than for ‘normal’ cooking.  
Season afterwards.  
Allow a few minutes ‘standing’ time after the oven  
has switched off to ensure complete and even  
cooking results.  
Porridge is easily cooked in the serving dish  
with no sticky pan to wash. Follow food  
manufacturers’ recommendations.  
Always ensure food is piping hot throughout  
before serving.  
Use pot holders or gloves when taking dishes and  
food from the oven.

Care and cleaning  
The oven must always be clean. Residue of food from spillovers or spatters will attract microwave energy  
causing it to burn on. This could reduce the efficiency of the oven and may cause bad odours. Do not attempt  
to tamper with or make any adjustments or repairs to any part of the oven. Repairs should only be done by a  
qualified service technician.  
Be sure the oven is disconnected from the electricity supply before cleaning.  
Cleaning the accessories (turntable and support)  
Clean them with mild detergent after removing them from the cavity. The turntable support should be carefully  
handled.  
CAUTION: The inside of the oven and turntable get very hot, so do not touch them immediately after use.  
Cleaning the interior  
Always keep the inside of the oven clean. Wipe up spill-overs and food spatters immediately. Deposits that are  
allowed to remain on the oven walls, door seal and door surface will absorb microwave energy, reduce the  
efficiency of the oven, and possibly damage the oven interior. Use mild, liquid detergent, warm water and a  
soft, clean cloth to remove deposits.  
NEVER USE ABRASIVE CLEANERS, COMMERCIAL OVEN CLEANERS OR STEEL WOOL PADS ON  
ANY PART OF THE MICROWAVE OVEN.  
To loosen difficult deposits, boil a cup of water in the microwave oven for 2 or 3 minutes.  
NEVER USE A KNIFE OR ANY UTENSIL TO REMOVE DEPOSITS FROM OVEN SURFACES.  
To remove odours from the oven interior, boil a cup of water plus 2 tablespoons of lemon juice for 5 minutes.  
Cleaning the exterior  
Open the oven door when cleaning the control panel. This will prevent the oven from being turned on  
accidentally. You should clean outside surfaces of the oven with mild liquid detergent and water followed by a  
wiping with clear water to remove any excess detergent. Dry with a soft cloth.  
Spray-on window cleaners or all purpose spray-on kitchen cleaners can also be used. Never use abrasive  
cleaners, scouring pads or harsh chemicals on outside surfaces of your oven. To prevent damage to the  
working parts, do not allow water to seep into ventilation openings.
