d.Do not use the cavity for storage purposes. Do not leave paper products, cooking utensils or food in the cavity when not in use.
9.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 person:
a .Do not overheat the liquid.
b.Stir the liquid both before and halfway through heating it.
d.After heating, allow the container to stand in the microwave oven for short time before removing the container.
e.Use extreme care when inserting a spoon or other utensil into the container.
10.Do not heat oil or fat for deep-frying. It is difficult to control the temperature of oil in microwave oven.
11.Pierce foods with heavy skins such as potatoes, whole squash, apples and chestnuts before cooking.
12.The contents of feeding bottles and baby jars should be stirred or shaken and the temperature should be checked before serving in order to avoid burns.
13.Cooking utensils may become hot because of heat transferred from the heated food. Oven mitts may be needed to handle the utensil.
14.Do not cover or block any openings on the appliance.
15.Do not store or use this appliance outdoors. Do not use this product near water, for example, near a kitchen sink, in a wet basement, near a swimming pool, or similar locations.
16.Do not operate this appliance if it has a damaged cord or a plug, if it is not working properly or if it has been damaged or dropped.
17.Do not immerse cord or plug in water. Keep cord away from heated surface. Do not let cord hang over the edge of a table or counter.
c.Do not use straight-sided containers with narrow necks.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
DANGER: ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD
Touching some of the internal components can cause serious injury or death. DO NOT disassemble this appliance.
fWARNING: ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD
Improper grounding can result in electric shock. Do not plug unit into an outlet until the appliance is properly grounded.
Three-pronged (grounding) plug
This appliance must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current. This appliance comes with a cord that is equipped with a grounding wire and grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded.
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. If it is necessary to use an extension cord, use only a 3-wire extension cord that has a 3-pronged 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.
A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risks resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
Longer cord sets or extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use.
If a long cord set or extension cord is used:
1)The marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance
2)The extension cord must be a grounding type 3 wire cord, and;
3)The cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it could be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally.
RADIO INTERFERENCE
Operation of the microwave oven may cause interference to your radio, TV or similar equipment. When there is interference, it can be reduced or eliminated by taking the following action:
1)Clean door and sealing surface of oven
2)Reposition the receiving antenna of the radio or television
3)Relocate the microwave oven with respect to the receiver
4)Move the microwave oven away from the receiver
5. Plug the microwave oven into a different outlet so that microwave oven and receiver are on different branch circuits
4
PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY
1)Do not attempt to operate this oven with the door open since this can result in harmful exposure to microwave energy. It is important not to damage or tamper with the safety locks.
2)Do not place any object between the oven front face and the door, or allow soil or cleaning residue to accumulate on sealing surfaces.
3)Do not operate the oven if it is damaged. It is particularly important that the door closes properly and there is no damage to the:
(A)door (bent,)
(B)hinges and latches (broken or loose,)
(C)door seals and sealing surface.
4) The oven should not be adjusted or repaired by anyone except qualified service personnel.
PERMISSIBLE MATERIALS
CAUTION: PERSONAL INJURY HAZARD
Tightly-closed containers could explode. Closed containers should be opened and plastic pouches should be pierced
before cooking.
This section lists which utensils can be used in the microwave, which ones have limited use for short periods, and which ones should not be used in the microwave.
RECOMMENDED
Microwave browning dish — Use to brown the exterior of small items such as steaks, chops, or pancakes. Follow the directions provided with your browning dish.
Microwaveable plastic wrap — Use to retain steam. Leave a small opening for some steam to escape and avoid placing it directly on the food.
Paper towels and napkins — Use for short-term heating and covering; these absorb excess moisture and prevent spattering. Do not use recycled paper towels, which may contain metal and could ignite.
Glass and glass-ceramic bowls and dishes — Use for heating or cooking.
Paper plates and cups — Use for short-term heating at low temperatures. Do not use recycled paper, which may contain metal and could ignite.
Wax paper — Use as a cover to prevent spattering.
Thermometers — Use only those labeled “Microwave Safe” and follow all directions. Check the food in several places. Conventional thermometers may be used on microwave food once the food has been removed from the oven.
LIMITED USE
Aluminum foil — Use narrow strips of foil to prevent overcooking of exposed areas. Using too much foil can damage your oven, so be careful. You should keep distance of 1 inch (2.54cm) between aluminum foil and cavity.
Ceramic, porcelain, and stoneware— Use these if they are labeled “Microwave Safe”. If they are not labeled, test them to make sure they can be used safely.
Plastic — Use only if labeled “Microwave Safe”. Other plastics can melt.
5
NOT RECOMMENDED
Glass jars and bottles — Regular glass is too thin to be used in a microwave. It can shatter and cause damage and injury.
Paper bags — These are a fire hazard, except for popcorn bags that are designed for microwave use. Styrofoam plates and cups — These can melt and leave an unhealthy residue on food.
Plastic storage and food containers — Containers such as margarine tubs can melt in the microwave. Metal utensils — These can damage your oven. Remove all metal before cooking.
Note:
Should you wish to check if a dish is safe for microwaving, place the empty dish in the oven and microwave on HIGH for 30 seconds. A dish which becomes very hot should not be used.
Installation Guide
1.Make sure that all the packing materials are removed from the inside of the door or on cabinet surface. Do not remove the light brown mica sheet that is attached to the oven cavity to protect the magnetron.
2.Check the oven for any damage, such as a misaligned or bent door, damaged door seals and sealing surface, broken or loose door hinges and latches and dents inside the cavity or on the door. If there is any damage, do not operate the oven but contact qualified service personnel
3.This microwave oven must be placed on a flat, stable surface to hold its weight and the heaviest food likely to be cooked in the oven.
4.Do not place the oven where heat, moisture, or high humidity are generated, or near combustible materials.
5.For correct operation, the oven must have sufficient airflow. Allow 30cm of space above the oven, 7.5cm at back and 7.5cm at both sides (see diagram.) Do not cover or block any openings on the appliance. Do not remove feet on which oven stands.
6.Do not operate the oven without glass tray, roller support, and shaft in their proper positions.
7.Make sure that the power supply cord is undamaged and does not run under the oven or over any hot or sharp surface.
8.The socket must be readily accessible so that it can be easily unplugged in an emergency. The socket must have the same voltage and frequency as the rating label of the appliance.
9.Place the microwave oven away from radios and tvs to avoid interference.

COOKING TECHNIQUES
Your microwave makes cooking easier than conventional cooking, provided you keep these considerations in mind:
STIRRING - Stir foods such as casseroles and vegetables while cooking to distribute heat evenly. Food at the outside of the dish absorbs more energy and heats more quickly, so stir from the outside to the centre. The oven will turn off when you open the door to stir your food.
ARRANGEMENT - Arrange unevenly shaped foods, such as chicken pieces or chops, with the thicker, meatier parts toward the outside of the turntable where they receive more microwave energy. To prevent overcooking, place delicate areas, such as asparagus tips, toward the centre of the turntable.
SHIELDING - Shield food with narrow strips of aluminum foil to prevent overcooking. Areas that need shielding include poultry wing tips, the ends of poultry legs, and corners of square baking dishes. Use only small amounts of aluminum foil. Larger amounts can damage your oven.
TURNING - Turn foods over midway through cooking to expose all parts to microwave energy. This is especially important with large foods such as roasts.
STANDING - Foods cooked in the microwave build up internal heat and continue to cook for a few minutes after heating stops. Let foods stand to complete cooking, especially foods such as cakes and whole vegetables. Roasts need this time to complete cooking in the centre without overcooking the outer areas. All liquids, such as soup or hot chocolate, should be shaken or stirred when cooking is complete. Let liquids stand a moment before serving. When heating baby food, stir well at removal and test the temperature before serving.
ADDING MOISTURE - Microwave energy is attracted to water molecules. Food that is uneven in moisture content should be covered or allowed to stand so that the heat disperses evenly. Add a small amount of water to dry food to help it cook.
14
Care and Maintenance
1)Turn off the oven and remove the power plug from the wall socket before cleaning.
2)Keep the inside of the oven clean. When food splatters or spilled liquids adhere to oven walls,wipe with a damp cloth. Mild detergent may be used if the oven gets very dirty. Avoid the use of spray and other harsh cleaners as they may stain, streak or dull the door surface.
