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 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 & 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
