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 trained 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 trained person to carry out any service or repair

operation which involves the removal of any cover which gives protection against exposure to
microwave energy.

(e) WARNING : Liquids or 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

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

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 glass 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 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,
check the oven frequently due to the possibility of
ignition.

13. The contents of feeding bottles and baby food jars
are to be stirred or shaken and the temperature is to
be 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 shall
not be heated in microwave ovens since they may
explode.

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. Microwave heating of beverages can result in
delayed eruptive boiling, therefore care has to be
taken when handling the container.

19. a) Be cautions about touching parts other than

control panel during or immediately following grill
or combi cooking.

b) Always use hot pads or oven mitts when placing

or removing food and/or accessories from the
oven.

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. 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 locla 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.

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.
