2. WARNING!--Check the oven for any damage, such as 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 and contact

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. It is not built in 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 20cm of space
above the oven, 10cm at back and 5cm at both sides. Do not cover or block any
openings on the appliance. Do not remove feet.

Grounding Instructions

This appliance must be grounded. This oven is equipped with a cord having a grounding wire
with a grounding plug. It must be plugged into a wall receptacle that is properly installed and
grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces risk of electric shock by
providing an escape wire 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 grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock.
Note:

1. If you have any questions about the grounding 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 resulting from failure to observe the electrical connection procedures.

The wires in this cable main are colored in accordance with the following code:
Green and Yellow = EARTH

Blue = NEUTRAL
Brown = LIVE

Radio Interference

Operation of the microwave oven can cause interference to your radio, TV, or similar
equipment. When there is interference, it may be reduced or eliminated by taking the following
measures:

1. Clean door and sealing surface of the oven.

2. Reorient the receiving antenna of 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.

Before Calling For Service

Before asking for service, please check each item below:
 Check to ensure the oven is plugged in securely. If not, remove the plug from the outlet,

wait 10 seconds, and plug it in again securely.

 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.

 Check to ensure the control panel is programmed correctly and the timer is set.
 Check to ensure the door is securely closed, engaging the door lock system. If the door is

not properly closed, the microwave energy will not flow inside.

IF NONE OF THE ABOVE RECTIFIES THE SITUATION, THEN CONTACT A QUALIFIED
TECHNICIAN. DO NOT TRY TO ADJUST OR REPAIR THE OVEN YOURSELF.

Cooking Techniques

1. Arrange food carefully. Place thickest areas towards outside of dish.

2. Watch cooking time. Cook for the shortest amount of time indicated and add more as
needed. Food severely overcooked can smoke or ignite.

3. Cover foods while cooking. Covers prevent spattering and help foods to cook evenly.

4. Turn foods over once during microwave cooking to speed cooking of such foods as chicken
and hamburgers. Large items like roasts must be turned over at least once.

5. Rearrange foods such as meatballs halfway through cooking both from top to bottom and

7

from the center of the dish to the outside.

Cooking Utensils Guide

1. The ideal material for a microwave utensil is transparent to microwave, it allows energy to
pass through the container and heat the food.

2. Microwave cannot penetrate metal, so metal utensils or dishes with 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 don’t use too much and keep a distance of 1 inch (2.54cm) between foil and
cavity.

The list below is a general guide to help you select the correct utensils.

Cleaning and Care

1. Turn off the oven and unplug the power cord from the wall when 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 detergents may be
used if the oven gets very dirty. Avoid using spray or other harsh
cleaners. They may stain, streak or dull the door surface.

3. The outside of the oven should be cleaned with a damp cloth. To prevent

damage to the operating parts inside the oven, water should not be allowed to
seep into the ventilation openings.

4. Wipe the door and window on both sides, the door seals and adjacent
parts frequently with a damp cloth to remove any spills or spatters. Do
not use abrasive cleaner.

5. Do not allow the control panel to become wet. Clean with a soft, damp cloth.

When cleaning the control panel, leave oven door open to prevent oven from
accidentally turning on.

6. If steam accumulates inside or around the outside of the oven door, wipe with a
soft cloth. This may occur when the microwave oven is operated under high
humidity condition. And it is normal.

7. It is occasionally necessary to remove the glass tray for cleaning. Wash the tray
in warm sudsy water or in a dishwasher.

8. The roller ring and oven floor should be cleaned regularly to avoid excessive
noise. Simply wipe the bottom surface of the oven with mild detergent. The
roller ring may be washed in mild, soapy water or in a dishwasher. When
removing the roller ring, be sure to replace it in the proper position.

9. Remove odors from your oven by combining a cup of water with the juice and
skin of one lemon in a microwaveable bowl. Microwave for 5 minutes. Wipe
thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth.

10. If the light bulb burns out, please contact customer service to have it replaced.

11. The oven should be cleaned regularly and any food deposits should be
removed. Failure to maintain the oven in a clean condition could lead to
deterioration of surface that could adversely affect the life of the unit and
