residue to accumulate on sealing surfaces.

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 : The appliance is not intended for use by young children or infirm person without

supervision. Young children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance. It is not recommended for use in an environment where excessive vibration could be experienced.

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:

1. Read all instructions before using the appliance.

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

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

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

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

Do not put foreign material between the oven surface and door. It could result in excessive leakage of microwave energy.

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

8. 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.

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

Contact nearest authorised 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, and the like.

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

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 (page 14).

16. To reduce the risk of fire in the oven cavity: a) Do not overcook food. Carefully attend

appliance if paper, plastic, or other combustible 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 should 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, causing 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. Do not operate the oven when empty or with an empty utensil to avoid damage to the oven and danger of fire.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

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.

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 3blade 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.

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 50mm 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 clear. If all vents are covered during operation, the oven may overheat and, eventually, fail.

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 Splashing water when choosing a place to position it, or the insulation might be adversely affected and breakdowns occur.

6. Power supply

• Check your local power source. This oven requires a current of approximately 10 amperes, 230V~240V 50Hz.

• Power supply cord is about 1.8 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 or 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.
