Precautions
Precautions to avoid possible exposure to excessive microwave energy.
You cannot operate your oven with the door open due to the safety interlocks built into the door mechanism. These safety interlocks automatically switch off any cooking activity when the door is opened; which in the case of a microwave oven could result in harmful exposure to microwave energy.
It is important not to tamper with the safety interlocks.
Do not place any object between the oven front face and the door or allow food or cleaner residue to accumulate on sealing surfaces.
Do not operate your oven if it is damaged. It is particularly important that the oven door closes properly and that there is no damage to the: (1) door(bent),
(2) hinges and latches (broken or loosened), (3) door seals and sealing surfaces.
Your oven should not be adjusted or repaired by anyone except qualified service personnel.
Warning
Please ensure cooking times are correctly set as over cooking may result in the FOOD catching fire and subsequent damage to your oven.
When heating liquids, e.g. soups, sauces and beverages in your microwave oven, delayed eruptive boiling can occur without evidence of bubbling. This could result in a sudden boil over of the hot liquid. To prevent this possibility the following steps should be taken:
1Avoid using straight sided containers with narrow necks.
2Do not overheat.
3Stir the liquid before placing the container in the oven and again halfway through the heating time.
4After heating, allow to stand in the oven for a short time, stir or shake them(especially the contents of feeding bottles and baby food jars) again carefully and check the temperature of them before consumption to avoid burns (especially, contents of feeding bottles and baby food jars).
Be careful when handling the container.
Warning
Always allow food to stand after being cooked by microwaves and check the temperature of them before consumption. Especially contents of feeding bottles and baby food jars.

How the Microwave Oven Works
Microwaves are a form of energy similar to radio and television waves and ordinary daylight. Normally, microwaves spread outwards as they travel through the atmosphere and disappear without effect. Microwave ovens, however, have a magnetron which is designed to make use of the energy in microwaves. Electricity, supplied to the magnetron tube, is used to created microwave energy.
These microwaves enter the cooking area through openings inside the oven. A turntable or tray is located at the bottom of the oven. Microwaves cannot pass through metal walls of the oven, but they can penetrate such materials as glass, porcelain and paper, the materials out of which microwave-safe cooking dishes are constructed.
Microwaves do not heat cookware, though cooking vessels will eventually get hot from the heat generated by the food.
A very safe appliance
Your microwave oven is one of the safest of all home appliances. When the door is opened, the oven automatically stops producing microwaves. Microwave energy is converted completely to heat when it enters food, leaving no “left over” energy to harm you when
you eat your food.

Unpacking &
Installing
By following the basic steps on these two pages you will be able to quickly check that your oven is operating correctly. Please pay particular attention to the guidance on where to install your oven. When unpacking your oven make sure you remove all accessories and packing. Check to make sure that your oven has not been damaged during delivery.
Unpack your oven and place it on a flat level surface.
Place the oven in a level location of your choice with more than 85 cm height. Make sure there is at least 30 cm
of space on the top and 10 cm at the rear for proper ventilation. (Attention: This does not apply if the microwave oven is installed in a fitted cupboard!). The front of the oven should be at least 8 cm from the edge of the surface to prevent tipping.
Exhaust outlets are arranged on the top and at the sides of the oven. Blocking these outlets can damage the oven.

Plug your oven into a standard household socket. Make sure your oven is the only appliance connected to the
socket. If your oven does not operate properly, unplug it from the electrical socket and then plug it back in.
Open your oven door by pulling the DOOR HANDLE. Place the ROTATING RING inside the oven and place
the GLASS TRAY on top.
Fill a microwave safe container with 300 ml (1/2 pint) of water. Place on the GLASS TRAY and close the oven door. If you have any doubts about what type of container to
use please refer to page 25.
Press the STOP button, and press the START button one time to set 30
seconds of cooking time.
The DISPLAY will count down from 30 seconds. When it reaches 0 it will sound BEEPS. Open the oven door and test the temperature of the water. If your oven is operating the water
should be warm. Be careful when removing the container it may be hot. 
YOUR OVEN IS NOW INSTALLED
The contents of feeding bottles and baby food jars shall be stirred or shaken and the temperature checked
before consumption, in order to avoid burns.

Setting the
Clock
You can set either 12 hour clock or 24 hour clock.
In the following example I will show you how to set the time for 14:35 when using the 24 clock.
Make sure that you have removed all packaging from your oven.
When your oven is plugged in for the first time or when power resumes after a power cut, a Ô0Õ will be shown in the display; you will have to reset the clock.
If the clock (or display) shows any strange looking symbols, unplug your oven from the electrical socket and plug it back in and reset the clock.
Make sure that you have correctly installed your oven as described earlier in this book.
Press STOP.
Press CLOCK once.
(If you want to use different option, Press CLOCK once more.
If you want to change different option after setting clock, you have to unplug and plug it back in.)
Turn DIAL knob until display shows Ò14:00Ó.
Press START for hour confirmation.
Turn DIAL knob until display shows Ò14:35Ó.
Press START.
The clock starts counting.

Your oven has a safety feature that prevents accidental running of the oven. Once the child lock is set, you will be unable to use any functions and no cooking can take place.
However your child can still open the oven door.
Press and hold STOP until ÒLÓ appears on the display and BEEP sounds.
The CHILD LOCK is now set.
“L” remains on the display to let you know that CHILD LOCK is set.
