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.

been repaired by a trained 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 trained person to carry out any service or

repair operation which involves the removal of any cover which gives protection against exposure to microwave energy.

(e) WARNING: Liquids or 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.

INSTALLATION

How to examine your microwave oven after unpacking.

Unpack oven, remove all packing material, and examine the oven for any damage such as dents, broken door, latches or cracks in the door. Do not remove the film from inside the door. Notify dealer immediately if the oven is damaged. Do not install if the oven is damaged.

Where to place your microwave oven.

1. Place the oven on a flat and stable surface.

2. Surface of the oven is protected by a plastic film which should be removed before using.

3. Leave open spaces around the oven. All air vents should be removed before using. If all vents are covered during operation, the oven may overheat and eventually, lead to oven failure.

4. Keep away from radio and TV sets. If the oven is located close to a TV, radio interference may result.

5. Keep 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.

6. The minimum height of open spaces necessary above the top surface of the oven is 150mm.

Power supply

• Refer to rating plate for voltage and check that this appliance

voltage corresponds with the supply voltage in your home. This oven requires a current of approximately 12(8) amperes, 230V 50Hz.

• Using the oven at a higher rated voltage may result in a fire or

other accident causing oven damage.

• Also using the oven at a lower rated voltage will cause slow

cooking. We are not responsible for damage resulting from use of this oven with a voltage and and ampere fuse other than those specified.

• If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the

manufacturer, its service agent or a similarly qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.

• Power supply cord is about 1.2 meters long.

Prior to use

In order to protect your oven during transpotation and storage, the grill element is covered with a protective coating. To remove this coating the grill element must be heated for 5 minutes. This procedure will produce some bad odors as the protective coating on the element disappears. To remove the coating, use the following procedures:

1. Place a bowl suitable for microwaves, not too small, filled with

0.2

lwater or more, into the oven chamber.

2. Press the ˚C Temp. button.

3. Set the time to 5 minutes.

4. Press the start button.

5. When the 5 minutes has elapsed, an acoustic signal sounds. Note: The protective coating has now been removed and the

oven is ready to use. Please be aware that your oven now is very hot.

6. Open the oven door and remove the bowl with water (use oven gloves when removing the bowl.)

Child Lock

To prevent child from operating the oven, install the child lock key.

1. Touch stop button for 3 seconds. “LOC” will show in the display and all buttons do not operate.

2. Touch stop button for 3 seconds once again, then child lock is canceled.

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 appliances 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 electricla rating of the appliance.

Microwave function only

Utensils and cooking containers used in a microwave oven should be of a material that does not act as a barrier to microwave energy. Generally this means that you should cook in either (paper), plastic, glass or ceramic. Metal pans reflect microwave energy and inhibit cooking, and should not be used. In addition to material, the shape of the container should also be considered. Round oval shapes give the most even cooking. Square or rectangular containers may over-cook foods in the corners because more energy is absorbed there. Shallow containers give more even cooking results.

Utensils made of china and ceramic excellent to use in your microwave oven. Most types of glass are also very good. Lead crystal glass can crack and should therefore, not be used. Plastics and paper can also be used, provided they can withstand the temperature of the heated food. For cooking only use plastics, which will withstand a temperature of over 120˚C, e.g. polypropene and polyamide. Some plastic materials, e.g. melamine, will be heated by the microwave, and be damaged. To find out if a certain container is suitable, the following simple test can be made: Place the empty container and a glass of water inside the microwave oven. The water is needed because the oven must not be operated empty or with empty containers only. Let the oven work on full power for one minute. A suitable container will only be lukewarm.

Metal containers, e.g. saucepans or frying pans should not be used in microwave ovens. Nor should plates or vessels with decorations be used since metal e.g. gold, might be part of the decoration and such decorations will be damaged. Small pieces of aluminiuum foil can be used, but only to shield the areas that would over-cook (e.g. for covering chicken wings, leg tips and fish tails) but the foil must not touch the side of the oven as damage may occur.

TO AVOID EXPLOSION AND SUDDEN BOILIING

1. Eggs

Never cook eggs in their shells. Steam will build up inside the shell during cooking and the egg will explode. If you want to cook or reheat eggs which have not been broken up by scrambling or mixing, you must always pierce the yolks or these will also explode. You should slice shelled hard boiled eggs before you reheat them in your microwave oven.

2. Piercing

Always pierce food which has a skin or membrane, for example, potatoes, tomatoes, apples, sausages etc. If you don't pierce them, steam will build up inside and they may explode.

3. Lids

Always remove the lids of jars and containers and take away food containers, before you cook using your microwave oven. If you don't, then steam and pressure might build up inside and cause an explosion even after the microwave cooking has stopped.

WHICH UTENSIL CAN BE USED IN THE OVEN?

WARNING

When heating liquids, e.g. soups, sauces and beverages in your microwave oven, overheating the liquid beyond boiling point can occur without evidence of bubbling: This could result in a sudden boil over of the not liquid. To prevent this possibility the following steps should be taken: a. Avoid using straight sided containers with narrow necks. b. Do not overheat. c. Stir the liquid before placing the container in the oven

and again halfway through the heating time.

d. After heating, allow to stand in the oven for a short time,

stir or shake them again carefully and check the temperature of them before consumption to avoid burns (especially, contents of feeding bottles and baby food jars).

3. It is possible to use aluminium foil to shield deliate areas of

food (this prevents over-cooking).

4. Metal tins can be used in the combination methods, however

if these are very deep, they will greatly reduce the efficiency, as metal shields the microwave energy from the food.

Caution:

• There are a number of accessories available on the market. Before you buy, make sure they are suitable for microwave use.

• When you put food in the microwave oven, make sure that food, food supports or covering do not come in direct contact with any of the internal walls or the ceiling of the cavity since discolouration may take place.

Before use, the user should check that utensils are suitable for use in microwave ovens.
