PRECAUTIONS TO A VOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE
TO EXCESSIVE MICROW A VE 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 competent 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 competent person to carry out any service

or repair operation which involves the removal of a 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.

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 Steady, flat location

This oven should be set on a steady, flat surface. This oven is designed for counter top use only.

2 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.

3 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.

4 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.

5 Power supply

• Check your local power source. This oven requires a current of approximately 6 amperes, 220-240V
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 or its service agent or a similarly
qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.

6 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.

7 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.

8 The minimum height of free space necessary above the top surface of the oven is 100mm.

WARNING : Improper use of the 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 necessary to use an
extension cord, use only a 3-wire extension cord that has a 3-blade earthing plug, and a 3­slot 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.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

SAVE THESE 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 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, keep an eye on the oven due to
the possibility of ignition.

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

5

1. Door latch-When the door is closed it will
automatically shut off. If the door is opened
while the oven is operating, the magnetron
will automatically shut off.

2. Door seal-The door seal maintains the
microwave within the oven cavity and
prevents microwave leakage.

3. Oven cavity

4. Spatter shield-Protects the microwave

outlet from splashes of cooking foods.

5. Safety interlock system-Prevents the oven
from operating while the door is opened.

6. Door release button-Pushing this button
stops oven operation and opens the door.

7. Glass cooking tray-Made of special heat
resistant glass. The tray must always be
in proper position before operating.
Do not cook food directly on the tray.

8. Roller guide-Supports the glass cooking tray.

9. Door screen-Allows viewing of food.

The screen is designed so that light
can pass through, but not the microwaves.
