PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO
EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE 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
READ CAREFULLY AND KEEP FOR FUTURE REFERENCE
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
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.

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 th 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
necesary to use an extension cord, use only a 3wire 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 NOTE
The wires in this mains lead fitted to this appliance
are cloured in accordance with the following code.
Green-and-yellow : Earth
Blue : Neutral
Brown : Live
As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this
appliance may not correspond with the coloured
markings identifying the terminals in your plug,
proceed as follows : the wire which is coloured
green-and-yellow must be connected to the
terminal in the plug whyich is marked with the letter
‘E’ or by the earth symbol or green-and-yellow. The
wire which is coloured blue must be connected to
the terminal which is marked with the letter ‘N’ or
coloured black. The wire which is coloured brown
must be connected to the terminal which is marked
with the letter ‘L’ or coloured 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
3 inches 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 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 12 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.
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.
