PRECAUTIONS T O AV OID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE

TO EXCESSIVE MICRO WAVE 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 that involves the removal of a cover which gives protection against exposure to
microwave energy.

(e) WARNING : Liquids and 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.

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:

11. 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.

12. Do not use the oven when empty, this could damage

the oven.

13. Do not use the oven cavity for any type of storage,

such as papers, cookbook, cookware, etc.

14. Do not operate the oven without the glass tray in

place. Be sure it is properly sitting on the rotating
base.

15. Make sure you remove caps or lids prior to cooking

when you cook food sealed in bottles.

16. Do not put foreign material between the oven surface

and door. It could result in excessive leakage of
microwave energy.

17. Do not use recycled paper products for cooking. They

may contain impurities which could cause sparks
and/or fires when used during cooking.

18. 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.

19. 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. 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.

19. This appliance is not intended for use by
persons(including children) with reduced physical,
sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience
and knowledge, unless they have been given
supervision or instruction concerning use of the
appliance by a person responsible for their safety.

20. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do
not play with the appliance.

EARTHING INSTR UCTIONS

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 3-blade 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.

IMPORTANT

The wires in this mains lead fitted to this appliance are
colored in accordance with the following code.
Green-and-yellow : Earth
Blue : Neutral
Brown : Live
As the colors of the wires in the mains lead of this
appliance may not correspond with the colored
markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed
as follows : the wire which is colored green-and-yellow
must be connected to the terminal in the plug which is
marked with the letter ‘E’ or by the earth symbol or
green-and-yellow. The wire which is colored blue must
be connected to the terminal which is marked with the
letter ‘N’ or colored black. The wire which is colored
brown must be connected to the terminal which is
marked with the letter ‘L’ or colored red.

WARNING : The appliance must be earthed.

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
76mm of space between oven sides, rear and the
minimum height of free space necessary 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.
The microwave oven shall not be placed in a cabinet
unless it has been tested in a cabinet.

3. 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.

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 Splash
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 6 amperes, 230V 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.

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.

CARE OF YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN

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.
