IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should be followed, including the following: WARNING-To reduce the risk of burns, electric shock, fire, injury to persons or exposure to excessive microwave energy:

11. Read all instructions before using the appliance.

12. Read and follow the specific “PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY” found on page 1.

13. This appliance must be grounded. Connect only to properly grounded outlet. See “GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS” found on page 3.

14. Install or locate this appliance only in accordance with the provided installation instructions.

15. Some products such as whole eggs and sealed containers - for example, closed glass jars-are able to explode and should not be heated in this oven.

16. Use this appliance only for its intended use as described in this manual. Do not use corrosive chemicals or vapors in this appliance. This type of oven is specifically designed to heat, cook, or dry food. It is not designed for industrial or laboratory use.

17. As with any appliance, close supervision is necessary when used by children.

18. Do not operate this appliance if it has a damaged cord or plug, if it is not working properly, or if it has been damaged or dropped.

19. This appliance should be serviced only by qualified service personnel.

Contact nearest authorized service facility for examination, repair or adjustment.

10.Do not cover or block any openings on the appliance.

11.Do not store this appliance outdoors. Do not use this product near water — for example, near a kitchen sink, in a wet basement, or near a swimming pool, or similar locations.

12.Do not immerse cord or plug in water.

13.Keep cord away from heated surfaces.

14.Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter.

15.Either:

a)When cleaning surfaces of door and oven that comes together on closing the door, use only mild, non-abrasive soaps or detergents applied with a sponge or soft cloth , or

b)When separate cleaning instructions are provided, See door surface cleaning instructions on.

16.To reduce the risk of fire in the oven cavity:

a)Do not overcook food. Carefully attend appliance when paper, plastic, or other com-bustible materials are placed inside the oven to facilitate cooking.

b)Remove wire twist-ties from paper or plastic bags before placing bag in oven.

c)If materials inside the oven ignite, keep oven door closed, turn oven off, and disconnect the power cord, or shut off power at the fuse or circuit breaker panel.

d)Do not use the cavity for storage purposes. Do not leave paper products, cooking utensils, or food in the cavity when not in use.

17.Do not use this microwave oven to heat corrosive chemicals (for example, sulfides and chlorides). Vapours from such corrosive chemicals may interact with the contact and springs of the safety interlock switches thereby rendering them inoperable.

18.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.

19.Never heat oil or fat for deep frying as you cannot control the temperature and doing so may lead to overheating and fire.

20.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.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding plug reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for electric current. This appliance is equipped with a cord having a grounding wire with a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is porperly installed and grounded.

WARNING: Improper use of the grounding can in a risk of electric shock.

Consult a qualified electrician or serviceman if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if doubt exists as to whether the appliance is properly grounded, and either:

(1)If it is necessary to use an extension cord, use only a 3-wire extension cord that has a 3-blade grounding plug, and a 3-slot receptacle that will accept the plug on the appliance. The marked rating of the extension cord shall be equal to or greater than the electrical rating of the appliance, or

(2)Do not use an extension cord, if the power supply cord is too short, have a qualified electrician or serviceman install an outlet near the appliance.

INSTALLATION

Examine the oven after unpacking.

check fork damage such as a misaligned door, broken door or dent in the cavity. If any damage is visible, DO NOT INSTALL, and notify your dealer immediately.

Level, flat location.

Install the microwave oven on a level, flat surface.

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 3 inches of space between oven top, sides, rear and adjacent surfaces.

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, fee, etc. Place the oven as far from them as possible.
5	Away from heating appliances and water taps
	Keep the oven away from heat, steam or splashing liquids. These things can adversely affect oven
	wiring and contacts.
6	Power supply
	This microwave oven requires a power supply of approximately 15 Amperes, 120 Volts, 60 Hz and a
	grounded outlet. A short power cord is provided to reduce the risk of the user becoming entangled in
	or tripping over a longer cord. Longer cord sets or extension cords are available and may be used if
	care is exercised.
	If an extension cord is used, the marked electrical rating of the cord should be at least as great as the
	electrical rating of the oven.
	The extension cord must be a grounding-type 3-wire cord. The longer cord should be arranged so it
	does not drape over the table top or counter where children can pull on it or trip over it.
7	The minimum height of free space necessary above the top surface of the oven is 100mm.
