OWNER’S MANUAL

MICROWAVE OVEN

PLEASE READ THIS OWNER’S MANUAL THOROUGHLY BEFORE OPERATING.

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

Precautions to avoid possible exposure to excessive microwave energy.

Precautions

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:

1. Avoid using straight sided containers with narrow necks.

2. Do not overheat.

3. Stir the liquid before placing the container in the oven and again halfway

through the heating time.

4. After 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.

Please ensure cooking times are correctly set as

over cooking may result in the FOOD catching fire

and subsequent damage to your oven.

How the Microwave Oven Works

Microwaves are a form of energy similar to radio and television waves and

ordinary daylight. N ormally, 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 crea ted

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 ca n penetrate such materials

as glass, porcelain a nd 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

Contents

Place the oven in the level location of your choice with

more than 85cm height but make sure there is at least

30cm of space on the top and 10cm at the rear for proper

ventilation. The front of the oven should be at least 8cm from the

edge of the surface to prevent tipping.

An exhaust outlet is located on top or side of the oven. Blocking

the outlet can damage the oven.
