OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS & COOK BOOK
Before operating this oven, please read these instructions completely.
PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY
(a)Do not attempt to operate this oven with the door open since open-door operation can result in harmful exposure to microwave energy. It is important not to defeat or tamper with the safety interlocks.
(b)Do not place any object between the oven front face and the door or allow soil or cleaner residue to accumulate on sealing surfaces.
(c)WARNING : If the door or door seals are damaged, the oven must not be operated until it has been repaired by a competent person : (1) door (bent), (2) hinges and latches(broken or loosened), (3) door seals and sealing surfaces.
(d)WARNING : It is hazardous for anyone other than a competent person to carry out any service or repair operation which involves the removal of a cover which gives protection against exposure to microwave energy.
(e)WARNING : Liquids and other foods must not be heated in sealed containers since they are liable to explode.
(f)WARNING : Only allow children to use the oven without supervision when adequate instructions have been given so that the child is able to use the oven in a safe way and understands the hazards of improper use.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ CAREFULLY AND KEEP FOR FUTURE REFERENCE
WARNING : To prevent fire, burns, electric shock and other warnings:
Listed below are, as with all appliances, certain rules to follow and safeguards to assure high performance from this oven:
11. Do not use the oven for any reason other than food preparation, such as for drying clothes, paper, or any other nonfood items or for sterilizing purposes.
12. Do not use the oven when empty, this could damage the oven.
13. Do not use the oven cavity for any type of storage, such as papers, cookbook, cookware, etc.
14. Do not operate the oven without the glass tray in place. Be sure it is properly sitting on the rotating base.
15. Make sure you remove caps or lids prior to cooking when you cook food sealed in bottles.
16. Do not put foreign material between the oven surface and door. It could result in excessive leakage of microwave energy.
17. Do not use recycled paper products for cooking. They may contain impurities which could cause sparks and/or fires when used during cooking.
18. Do not pop popcorn unless popped in a microwave approved popcorn popper or unless it's commercially packaged and recommended especially for microwave ovens. Microwave popped corn produces a lower yield than conventional popping; there will be a number of unpopped kernels. Do not use oil unless specified by the manufacturer.
19. Do not cook any food surrounded by a membrane, such as egg yolks, potatoes, chicken livers, etc., without first piercing them several times with a fork.
10.Do not pop popcorn longer than the manufacturer's directions. (popping time is generally below 3 minutes). Longer cooking does not yield more popped corn, it can cause scorchings and fire.
Also, the cooking tray can become too hot to handle or may break.
11.If smoke is observed, switch off or unplug the appliance and keep the door closed in order to stifle any flames.
12.When heating food in plastic or paper containers, keep an eye on the oven due to the possibility of ignition.
13.The contents of feeding bottles and baby food jars shall be stirred or shaken and the temperature checked before consumption, in order to avoid burns.
14.Always test the temperature of food or drink which has been heated in a microwave oven before you give it to somebody, especially to children or elderly people. This is important because things which have been heated in a microwave oven carry on getting hotter even though the microwave oven cooking has stopped.
15.Eggs in their shell and whole hard-boiled eggs should not be heated in microwave ovens since they may explode, even after microwave heating has ended;
16.Keep the waveguide cover clean at all times. Wipe the oven interior with a soft damp cloth after each use. If you leave grease or fat anywhere in the cavity it may overheat, smoke or even catch fire when next using the oven.
17.Never heat oil or fat for deep frying as you cannot control the temperature and doing so may lead to overheating and fire.
18.Liquids, such as water, coffee, or tea are able to be overheated beyond the boiling point without appearing to be boiling due to surface tension of the liquid. Visible bubbling or boiling when the container is removed from the microwave oven is not always present. THIS COULD RESULT IN VERY HOT LIQUIDS SUDDENLY BOILING OVER WHEN A SPOON OR OTHER UTENSIL IS INSERTED INTO THE LIQUID.
To reduce the risk of injury to persons:
a)Do not overheat the liquid.
b)Stir the liquid both before and halfway through heating it
c)Do not use straight-sided containers with narrow necks.
d)After heating, allow the container to stand in the microwave oven for a short time before removing the container.
e)Use extreme care when inserting a spoon or other utensil into the container.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

EARTHING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be earthed. In the event of an electrical short circuit, earthing reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current. This appliance is equipped with a cord having a earthing wire with a earthing plug.
The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and earthed.
WARNING : Improper use of th earthing plug can result in a risk of electric shock. Consult a qualified electrician or serviceman if the earthing instructions are not completely understood, or if doubt exists as to whether the appliance is properly earthed. If it is necesary to use an extension cord, use only a 3- wire extension cord that has a 3-blade earthing plug, and a 3-slot receptacle that will accept the plug on the appliance. The marked rating of the extension cord should be equal to or greater than the electrical rating of the appliance.
IMPORTANT NOTE
The wires in this mains lead fitted to this appliance are cloured in accordance with the following code. Green-and-yellow : Earth
Blue : Neutral
Brown : Live
As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this appliance may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows : the wire which is coloured green-and-yellow must be connected to the terminal in the plug whyich is marked with the letter ‘E’ or by the earth symbol or green-and-yellow. The wire which is coloured blue must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter ‘N’ or coloured black. The wire which is coloured brown must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter ‘L’ or coloured red.
WARNING : The appliance must be earthed.
INSTALLATION
1.Ventilation
Do not block air vents. If they are blocked during operation, the oven may overheat and eventually cause a failure. For proper ventilation, allow above 3 inches of space between oven sides, rear and the minimum height of free space necesary above the top surface of the oven is 100mm.
2.Steady, flat location
This oven should be set on a steady, flat surface. This oven is designed for counter top use only.
3.Leave space behind and side
All air vents should be kept a clearance. If all vents are covered during operation, the oven may overheat and, eventually, oven failure.
4.Away from radio and TV sets
Poor television reception and radio interference may result if the oven is located close to a TV, Radio antenna, feeder and so on. Position the oven as far from them as possible.
5.Away from heating appliance and water taps
Keep the oven away from hot air, steam or Splash when choosing a place to position it, or the insulation might be adversely affected and breakdowns occur.
6.Power supply
•Check your local power source. This oven requires a current of approximately 11 amperes, 230V 50Hz.
•Power supply cord is about 0.8 meters long.
•The voltage used must be the same as specified on this oven. Using a higher voltage may result in a fire or other accident causing oven damage.
Using low voltage will cause slow cooking. We are not responsible for damage resulting from use of this oven with a voltage of ampere fuse other than those specified.
•If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its service agent or a similarly qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.
7.Examine the oven after unpacking for any damage such as:
A misaligned door, Broken door, A dent in cavity. If any of the above are visible, DO NOT INSTALL, and notify dealer immediately.
8.Do not operate the oven if it is colder than room temperature.
(This may occur during delivery in cold weather.) Allow the oven to become room temperature before operating.
