IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

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.

If you see arcing, press Stop/Clear pad and correct the problem. Arcing is the microwave term for sparks in the oven. Arcing is caused by : a) Metal or foil touching the side of the oven. b) Foil not molded to food (upturned edges act

like antennas).

c) Metal such as twist-ties, poultry pins, or

gold rimmed dishes in the microwave.

d) Recycled paper towels containing small

metal pieces being used in the microwave.

WARNING:

This equipment generates and uses ISM frequency energy and if not installed and used properly, that is in strict accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions, may cause interference to radio and television reception.

THE MANUFACTURER is not responsible for any radio or TV interference caused by UNAUTHORIZED MODIFICATION to this microwave oven. It is the responsibility of the user to correct such interference.

ARCING

This appliance must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, the 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 properly installed and grounded.

WARNING

Improper use of the grounding can result 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.

WARNING

Do not cut or remove the third(ground) prong from the power cord under any circumstances.

USING AN ADAPTER

Due to potential safety hazards, we strongly recommend against the use of an adapter plug. However, if the still elect to use an adapter, where local codes may permit, a TEMPORARY CONNECTION may be made to a properly grounded two prong wall receptacle by the use of a UL/CSA listed adapter, which is avilable at most hardware stores.

GENERAL USE

DO NOT attempt to temper with or make any adjustment or repair to door, control panel or any other part of the oven. DO NOT remove outer case from oven. Repairs should only be done by a qualified service person.

If a fire occurs in the oven, touch the Stop/Clear pad and LEAVE THE DOOR CLOSED. Disconnect the power cord, or shut off power at the fuse or circuit breaker panel.

DO NOT operate the oven empty. The microwave energy will reflect continuously throughout the oven if no food or water is present to absorb energy.

DO NOT attempt to dry clothes, newspapers or other materials in the oven. They may catch on fire.

DO NOT use recycled paper products as they may contain impurities which may cause sparks and/or fires when used.

DO NOT hit or strike the control panel, damage to controls may occur.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

AVOID inserting nails, wire, etc. through any holes in the unit while operating the oven. Never insert a wire, nails or any other metal object through the holes on the cavity or any other holes or gaps because such objects may cause electric shock and microwave leakage.

UTENSILS

METAL CONTAINERS or dishes with metallic rims should not be used. Arcing may occur.

METAL TWIST-TIE must not be used in the microwave oven.

DO NOT use SEALED JARS or NARROW NECK buttles for cooking or reheating. They may shatter.

DO NOT use CONVENTIONAL THERMOMETERS in the microwave oven. They may cause arcing.

Remove PLASTIC STORE WRAPS before cooking or defrosting in the oven.

For FURTHER INFORMATION on proper cooking utensils, refer to the Introduction in the Microwave cooking guide.

FOOD

Never use your microwave oven for HOME CANNING. The oven is not designed to permit proper canning. Improperly canned food may spoil and be dangerous to consume.

COOKING TIMES given in the cooking guide are APPROXIMATE. Factors that may affect cooking are: starting temperature, altitude, volume, size and shape of foods and utensils used. As you become familiar with the oven, you will be able to adjust for these factors.

It is better to UNDERCOOK RATHER THAN OVENCOOK foods. If food is undercooked, it can always be returned to the oven for further cooking. If food is overcooked, nothing can be done. Always start with minimum cooking times.

SMALL QUANTITIES of food or foods with LOW MOISTURE content can burn, dry out or catch on fire if cooked too long.

DO NOT boil eggs in their shell. Pressure may build up and the eggs will explode.

Potatoes, apples, egg yolks, whole acom squash and sausage are examples of food with NONPOROUS SKINS. These must be pierced before cooking to prevent bursting.

POPCORN must be popped in a microwave corn popper. Microwave popped corn produces a lower yield than conventional popping. Do not pop popcorn unless popped in a microwave approved popcorn utensils or unless it’s commercially packaged and recommended especially for microwave ovens. Do not use oil unless specifed by the manufacturer.

DO NOT attempt to deep fat fry in your oven.

HEATED LIQUIDS can ERUPT if not mixed with air. Do not heat liquids in your microwave oven without first stirring.

Examine the oven after unpacking.

Check for 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.

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, etc. Place the oven as far from them as possible.

Away from heating appliances and water taps.

Keep the oven away from heat, steam or splashing liquids when choosing a place to position it, otherwise the insulation might be adversely attected and breakdowns may occur.

Power supply.

This microwave oven requires a power supply of approximately 15 Amperes, 230 Volts, 50Hz and a grounded outlet. A short power cord is provided to reduce the risk of the user becoming entangled in or tripping oven longer cord. Longer cord sets or extension cords are available and may be used if care to exercised in their use. 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.

Turn the oven off before cleaning. Keep the inside of the oven clean. When

food spatters or spilled liquids adhere to oven walls, wipe with a damp cloth. Mild detergent may be used if the oven gets very dirty. The use of harsh detergent or abrasives is not recommended.

The outside oven surface should be cleaned with soap and water, rinsed and dried with a soft cloth. To prevent damage to the operating parts inside the oven, water should not be allowed to seep into the ventilation openings.

If the Control Panel becomes wet, clean with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use harsh detergents or abrasives on Control Panel.

If steam accumulates inside or around the outside of the oven door, wipe with a soft cloth. This may occur when the microwave oven is operated under high humidity conditions and in no way indicates malfunction of the unit.

It is occasionally necessary to remove the glass tray for cleaning. Wash the tray in warm sudsy water or in a dishwasher.

The roller guide and oven cavity floor should be cleaned regularly to avoid excessive noise. Simply wipe the bottom surface of the oven with mild detergent water or window cleaner and dry. The roller guide may be washed in mild sudsy water.

INSTALLA TION CARE OF YOUR M.W.O

Glass Tray Roller Guide

Although your oven is provided with safety features, it is important to observe the following: a) It is important not to defeat or tamper with safety interlocks. b) Do not place any object between the front face and the door or allow residue to accumulate on sealing surfaces. Wipe the sealing area frequently with a mild detergent, rinse and wipe dry. Never use abasive powders or pads. c) When opened, the door must not be subjected to stain, for example, a child hanging on an opened door or any load could cause the oven to fall forward to cause injury and also damage the door. Do not operate the oven if it is damaged, until it has been repaired by a qualified service engineer. It is particularly important that the oven door closes properly and that there is no damage to the: i) Door (bent) ii) Hinges and Latches (broken or loosened) iii) Door seals and Sealing surfaces d) The oven should not be adjusted or repaired by anyone except properly qualified service personnel.

NOTE:

It is quite normal for steam to be emitted around the door during the cooking cycle. The door is not intended to seal the oven cavity completely, but its special design contributes to the complete safety of the appliance.

CAUTION:

1. Do not attempt to operate the oven while empty as this will cause damage.

2. As an exhaust is located in the rear of the oven, install the oven so as not to block the outlet.

This section includes useful information about oven operation.

1. Plug power supply cord into a standard 3-

pronged 15 Amp, 230V AC 50Hz power outlet.

2. After placing the food in a suitable

container, open the oven door and put it on the glass tray. The glass tray and roller guide must always be in place during cooking.

3. Shut the door. Make sure that it is firmly

closed. When the oven door is closed, the light turns off. The oven door can be opened at any time during operation by pulling the handle on it. The oven will automatically shut off. To restart the oven, close the door and then touch start pad. Each time a pad is touched, a BEEP will sound to acknowledge the touch. The oven automatically cooks on full power unless set to a lower power level. The display will show “ : 0” when the oven is plugged in. Time clock returns to the present time when the cooking time ends. (in case of having set the present time) When the Stop/Clear is touched during the oven operation, the oven stops cooking and all information retained. To erase all information(except the present time), touch the Stop/Clear pad once more. If the oven door is opened during the oven operation, all information is retained. If the Start pad is touched and the oven does not operate, check the area between the door and door seal for obstructions and make sure the door is closed securely. The oven will not start cooking until the door is completely closed or the program has been reset. Make sure the oven is proverly installed and plugged into the electrical outlet.
