How to install your Microwave Oven:-

Make sure that the packaging material is removed from the inside of the door.

WARNING: Check the microwave oven for any damage, such as misaligned or bent door,
damaged door seals and sealing surface, broken or loose door hinges and latches and
dents inside the cavity or on the door. The door should fit squarely, securely and close
smoothly. The door seals must be free from food and have no burn marks. If there is any
damage, please do not operate the microwave oven and contact a qualified service person.

Practical Hints:-

• The microwave oven should be placed on a flat stable surface which can hold the weight
of the microwave oven and the heaviest of food likely to be cooked inside.

• Do not place the microwave oven where heat, moisture, or high humidity are generated or
near combustible materials.

• For correct operation, the microwave oven must have sufficient airflow. This requires a
gap of 30 cms above, 10 cms at the back and 15 cms on both the sides. Do not cover or
block any openings.

• Do not remove the feet.

• Do not place anything on top of the oven.

• Do not operate the microwave oven without the glass tray, roller support & the shaft in
their proper positions.

• Make sure that the power supply cord is undamaged and does not run under the
microwave oven or over any hot or sharp surfaces.

• Ensure that the socket is readily accessible so that it can be easily unplugged in case of
emergency.

• Do not use the microwave oven outdoors.

• The appliance must be grounded. The oven is equipped with a cord having a grounding
wire with a grounding plug. It must be plugged into a wall socket that is properly installed
and grounded as it reduces the risk of electric shock in case of short circuit. Using a high
voltage is dangerous and may result in a fire or other accidents causing the oven damage.

NOTE: improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock. The
microwave oven should be operated on a separate circuit from other appliances. Failure to
do so may cause the power board fuse to blow, and or food to cook slower.

How to use your Microwave Oven :-

The appliance is intended to heat, cook or dry food for indoor household use only.

• Arrange the food carefully. Place the thickest area towards the outside of the dish.

• Watch the cooking time. Cook for the shortest amount of time and add more as required.

Food severely overcooked can smoke or ignite thereby causing damage.

• Ensure that you cover your food while cooking. Covers prevent splattering and the food

cooks evenly.

• Turn the food over once during the cycle to speed cooking of foods such as chicken and

burgers. Large items like roasts must be turned over at least once.

• Rearrange foods such as

meat balls halfway
through the cooking cycle
both from top to bottom
and center of the dish to
the outside.

How to care for your Microwave:-

• Use utensils which allow the energy to pass through the container and heat the food.
Only use a temperature probe recommended for this microwave oven.

• Do not use metal or dishes with metallic rim.

• Do not use recycled paper products as they may contain small metal fragments which
may cause sparks or fires.

• Round or oval dishes are recommended rather than square / oblong once as food in
corners tend to overcook.

• The oven should be cleaned occasionally, particularly around the door seal area.
