TABLE OF CONTENTS

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

WWAARRNNIINNGG:: RREEAADD CCAARREEFFUULLLLYY AANNDD KKEEEEPP FFOORR FFUUTTUURREE RREEFFEERREENNCCEE

To prevent fire, burns, electric shock and highlight 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
must 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. Microwave heating of beverages can result in delayed
eruptive boiling, therefore care must be taken when
handling the container.

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

20. This appliance is not intended for use by a
person(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.

3

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 an earthing wire
with an 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 necesary 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
coloured 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 which 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.

1. VVentilation

Do not block air vents. If they are blocked during
operation, the oven may overheat and eventually cause a
failure. For proper ventilation, allow more than 76mm of
space between oven sides and the rear minimum height of
free space necesary above the top surface of the oven is

100mm.

2. SSteady, fflat llocation

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. LLeave sspace bbehind aand sside

All air vents should be kept a clear. If all vents are covered
during operation, the oven may overheat and, eventually,
fail.

4. AAway ffrom rradio aand TTV ssets

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. AAway ffrom hheating aappliance aand wwater ttaps

Keep the oven away from hot air, steam or water splashes
when choosing a place to position it, or the insulation
might be adversely affected and breakdowns occur.

6. PPower ssupply

• Check your local power source. This oven requires a
current of approximately 5.0 amperes, 230V 50Hz.

• The 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. EExamine tthe ooven aafter uunpacking ffor aany ddamage ssuch
