WARNING : Ensure that the plug and
power cord are not damaged before
use. If you have any reason to remove
the moulded plug from this appliance,
immediately remove the fuse and dispose
of the plug.
Do not connect the plug to a mains socket
under any circumstances as there is a
danger of electric shock.
CIRCUITS : Your microwave oven should
be operated on a separate circuit from
other appliances. Failure to do this may
cause the circuit breaker to trip, the fuse
to blow, or the food to cook more slowly.

For example :
If the cooking instructions are based on a 650 W oven, then you will need to
reduce some cooking time for the MS23F301E**, MS23F302E** (800 W)
Readymealsarenowveryconvenientandpopular.Thesearemealswhich
are already prepared and cooked by the food manufacturer, and then
frozen, chilled or vacuum sealed for long life.
Increasingly, heating times for such ready meals are being based on the
HeatingCategoriesA,B,C,DandE.
On this instance, simply match the heating category of your oven to the
instructions on the food package, and set your timer accordingly.
For example :
If the heating instructions are 3 minutes on HIGH for a D category oven,
then you will need to set your timer for less than 3 minutes on HIGH for the
MS23F301E**, MS23F302E** (E category).
Always remember that cooking instructions are intended only as a
guide. If you have followed the instructions and the food is still not
piping hot throughout, simply return it to the oven and cook it until it is.
