PRECAUTIONS TO BE OBSERVED BEFORE AND
DURING SERVICING TO AVOID POSSIBLE
EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE MICROWA VE ENERGY

(a)Do not operate or allow the oven to be operated with the door open.
(b)Make the following safety checks on all ovens to be serviced before activating the magnetron or other micro-

wave source, and make repairs as necessary: (1) Interlock operation, (2) Proper door closing, (3) Seal and
sealing surfaces (arcing, wear, and other damage), (4) Damage to or loosening of hinges and latches, (5)
Evidence of dropping or abuse.

(c) Before turning on power to the microwave oven for any service test or inspection within the microwave gen-

erating compartments, check the magnetron, wave guide or transmission line, and cavity for proper align­ment, integrity, and connections.

(d) Any defective or misadjusted components in the interlock, monitor, door seal, and microwave generation

and transmission systems shall be repaired, replaced, or adjusted by procedures described in this manual
before the oven is released to the owner.

(e) A microwave leakage check to verify compliance with the Federal performance standard should be per-

formed on each oven prior to release to the owner.

2. FOR SAFE SERVICE PROCEDURES

1. If the oven is operative prior to servicing, a microwave emission check should be performed prior to servicing the

oven.

2. If any certified oven unit is found to servicing, a microwave emission check should be performed prior to servicing the

oven.

(a) inform the manufacturer, importer or assembler,

(b) repair the unit at no cost to the owner,

(c) attempt to ascertain the cause of the excessive leakage,

(d) tell the owner of the unit not to use the unit until the oven has been brought into compliance.

INSTALLATION

1. Steady, flat location.

This microwave oven should be set on a steady, flat surface.

2.Leave space behind and side.

All air vents should be kept a clearance. If all vents are covered during operation, the oven may be overheated
and, eventually, cause 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, or
feeder and so on.

4.Away from heating appliances 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 microwave oven requires a current of approximately 6 amperes, 230 Volts, 50 Hz.

• 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.

• This appliance is supplied with cable of special type, which, if damaged, must be repaired with cable of same
type.
Such a cable can be purchased from DAEWOO and must be installed by a qualified person.

6. Examine the oven after unpacking for any damage such as:

A misaligned door, broken door or 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.

EARTHING INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance must be earthed. In the event of an electrical short circuit, earthing reduces the risk of the electric
shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current. This appliance is equipped with a cord having 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, and either : If it is necessary to use an extension cord, use only a 3-wire extension cord that
has a 3-blade earthing plut, 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, or Do not use an
extension cord.

OPERATIONS AND FUNCTIONS

1. Connect the main lead to an electrical outlet.

2. After placing the food in a suitable container, open the oven door
and put it on the glass tray. The glass tray must always be in
place during cooking.

3. Close the door securely.

4. Choose cooking power level by setting V.P.C knob to the desired
position. Refer to cookbook for recommended power levels.

5. Determine cooking time. Consult cookbook for recipe timing.
Oven light turns on and cooling fan starts to operate. Microwave
cooking starts.

6. You may open the door while the oven is operating. As soon as
the door is opened, the safety mechanisms stop the generation of
microwave power and the operation of cooking timer.

If you wish to change the time during cooking, simply adjust the
timer to the desired time.

7. When the timer reaches zero, a bell will ring and the unit will turn
off. Oven light turns off. If additional cooking time is needed and
the door is closed, the oven will automatically start when the timer
is reset.

8. The safety lock prevents unwanted oven operation such as by
small children. To set, pull down the side knob like the figure. To
cancel, lift up the side knob.

Variable power cooking

ON and OFF cycle time of mechanical V.P.C switch is 30 seconds.
When the V.P.C knob is set to the desired position and timer knob to the desired position, the V.P.C switch has a cycle
(ON/OFF time(sec.)) listed below.

NOTE

1. When setting timer for less than 2 minutes,
tum the timer past 2 minutes and then
return to the correct timer setting.

2. Various clicking noises may be heard
when turning V.P.C knob. This is normal
and does not affect the operation of your
microwave oven.

Make sure the oven is properly installed and plugged into the electrical outlet.
