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:
1. 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.
2. Do not use the oven when empty, this
could damage the oven.
3. Do not use the oven cavity for any type
of storage, such as papers, cookbook,
cookware, etc.
4. Do not operate the oven without the tray
in place. Be sure it is properly sitting on
the rotating base.
5. Make sure you remove caps or lids prior
to cooking when you cook food sealed
in bottles.
6. Do not put foreign material between the
oven surface and door. It could result in
excessive leakage of microwave
energy.
7. Do not use recycled paper products for
cooking. They may contain impurities
which could cause sparks and/or fires
when used during cooking.
8. 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.
9. 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 emitted, 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.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
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.
19. This appliance is not intended for use by
persons(including children) with reduced
physical, sensory or mental capabilities,
or lack of experience and knowledge,
unless they have been given
supervision or instruction concerning
use of the appliance by a person
responsible for their safety.
20. Children should be supervised to ensure
that they do not play with the appliance.
21. Only use utensils that are suitable for
use in microwave ovens.
22. Microwave heating of beverages can
result in delayed eruptive boiling,
therefore care must be taken when
handling the container.

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 3wire 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.
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.
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.
For correct operation, the oven must have
sufficient airflow. Do not block air vents as this
may cause overheating. In a freestanding
situation allow adequate ventilation around the
microwave from any overhead, rear and side wall
constructions. If combining the microwave with a
trim kit for a 'built-in' situation, (where more than
one side of the appliance is closed in) the
specification and installation requirements are as
per the trim kit instruction manual.
Note: Cabinet materials must be suitable to
withstand temperatures up to 90˚C.
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 locla power source. This oven
requires a current of approximately
10 amperes, 240V 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, its service agent
or a similarly qualified persons 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.
