IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Always follow these basic safety precautions
when using electrical appliances:
WARNING: To minimize the risk of burns,
electric shock, fire, personal injury or
exposure to excessive microwave energy:
1. Read all instructions before using the
appliance.
2. Use this appliance only for its intended
use as described in this manual. Do not
use corrosive chemicals or vapors in this
appliance. This type of oven is specifically
designed to heat, cook or dry food. It is not
designed for industrial or laboratory use.
3. Do not operate the oven when empty.
4. Do not operate this oven if it has a
damaged cord or plug, if it is not working
properly or if it has been damaged or
dropped. 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.
5. WARNING: Only allow children to use the
oven without supervision when adequate
instructions have been given to ensure the
child is able to use the oven in a safe way
and understands the hazards of improper
use.
6. To reduce the risk of fire inside the oven:
When heating food in a plastic or paper
container, check the oven frequently for
possible burning.
Remove wire twist-ties from paper or
plastic bags before placing bag in oven.
If smoke is observed, switch off or unplug
the oven and keep the door closed in
order to stifle any flames.
Do not use the inside of the oven for
storage purposes. Do not leave paper
products, cooking utensils or food in the
oven when not in use.
7. WARNING: Liquid or other food must not
be heated in sealed containers as they
may explode.
8. Microwave heating of beverages can

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. Potholders may be needed
to handle a utensil.
14. Utensils should be checked to ensure that
they are suitable for use in a microwave
oven.
15. 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.

MICROWAVE COOKING PRINCIPLES
1. Arrange food carefully. Place thickest
areas towards outer edge of dish.
2. Watch cooking time. Cook for the shortest
amount of time indicated and increase
time as needed. Severely overcooked
food can smoke or ignite.
3. Cover food while cooking to prevent
spattering and aid even cooking.
4. Turn food over once during cooking to
speed cooking of foods such as chicken
and hamburgers. Large items like roasts
must be turned over at least once.
5. Rearrange food such as meatballs
halfway through cooking (from both the
top and bottom and from the centre of the
dish to the outside).
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This oven must be earthed. It comes with a
cord with an earthing lead and plug. It must
be plugged into a power point that is properly
installed and earthed. In the event of an
electrical short circuit, earthing reduces the
risk of electric shock by providing an escape
lead for the electric current. It is
recommended that a separate circuit serving
only the oven be provided. Using a high
voltage is dangerous and may result in a fire
or other accident causing oven damage.
WARNING Improper use of the earthing plug
could lead to an electric shock risk.
Note:
1. If you have any questions about the
earthing or electrical instructions, consult
a qualified electrician or service person.
2. Neither the manufacturer nor the dealer
can accept any liability for damage to the
oven or personal injury due to failure to
observe the electrical connection
procedures.
The wires in this cable main are coloured in
accordance with the following code:
Green and Yellow = EARTH
Blue = NEUTRAL
Brown = LIVE
BEFORE YOU CALL FOR SERVICE
If the oven fails to operate:
1. Check to ensure that the oven is plugged
in securely. If it is not, remove the plug
from the outlet, wait 10 seconds and
securely plug it in again.
2. Check for a blown circuit fuse or a tripped
main circuit breaker. If these seem to be
operating properly, test the outlet with
another appliance.
3. Check to ensure that the control panel is
programmed correctly and the timer is set.
4. Check to ensure that the door is securely
closed engaging the door safety lock
system, otherwise the microwave energy
will not flow into the oven.
IF NONE OF THE ABOVE RECTIFIES THE SITUATION, CONTACT A QUALIFIED TECHNICIAN.
DO NOT TRY TO ADJUST OR REPAIR THE OVEN YOURSELF.

UTENSIL GUIDE
1. The ideal material for a microwave utensil is the transparent one as it allows energy to pass
through the container and heat the food.
2. Microwaves cannot penetrate metal, so metal utensils or dishes with a metallic trim should not
be used.
3. Do not use recycled paper products when microwave cooking, as they may contain
small metal fragments which may cause sparks and/or fires.
4. Round /oval dishes rather than square/oblong ones are recommend, as food in corners tends to
overcook.
5. Narrow strips of aluminum foil may be used to prevent overcooking of exposed areas. But
be careful not to use too much and keep a distance of 2.54 cm between the foil and oven
walls.

very dirty. Avoid the use of sprays and
other harsh cleaners as they may stain,
streak or dull the door surface.
