• Take care when handling the container after heating. You may burn

Electric arcing or sparking may occur and may damage the ov en.

Ex) Baby food jars
Ex) Eggs, nuts in shells, tomatoes

The increase in pressure may cause them to explode.
Remove lids and pierce skins, bags, etc.

The oven walls may be damaged.
Leave a glass of water inside the oven at all times.
The water will absorb the microwaves if you accidenta lly set the
oven going when it is empty.

The cloths or paper may catch fire as hot air is evacuated from the
oven.

Some dishes absorb microwaves and heat is always t ra nsfer red
from the food to the dish. The dishes are therefore hot.

These walls may be hot enough to burn even after cooking has
finished, even though they do not appear to be so. Do not allow
inflammable materials to come into contact with any interior area of
the oven. Let the oven cool down first.

Safety Precautions (continued)

Installing Your Microwave oven

GB

• A risk of delayed eruptive boiling exists.

• To prevent delayed boiling and possible scalding, you should put a plastic
spoon or glass stick into the beverages and stir before, during and after
heating.
Reason:

• In the event of scalding, follow these FIRST AID instructions:
* Immerse the scalded area in cold water for at least 10 minutes.

* Cover with a clean, dry dressing.
* Do not apply any creams, oils or lotions.

• NEVER fill the container to the top and choose a container that is wider at
the top than at the bottom to prevent the liquid from boiling over. Bottles
with narrow necks may also explode if overheated.

• ALWAYS check the temperature of baby food or milk before giving it to
the baby.

• NEVER heat a baby’s bottle with the teat on, as the bottle may explode if
overheated.

9. Be careful not to damage the power cable.

• Do not immerse the power cable or plug in water and keep the power
cable away from heated surfaces.

• Do not operate this appliance if it has a damaged power cable or plug.

10. Stand at arm’s length from the oven when opening the door.
Reason:

11. Keep the inside of the oven clean.
Reason:

12. You may notice a “Clicking” sound during operation(especially when the oven
is in defrosting).
Reason

13. When the microwave oven is operating without any load, the power will be cut
off automatically for safety. You can operate normally after letting it stand for
over 30 minutes.

During the heating of liquids the boiling point can be delayed;
this means that eruptive boiling can start after the container is
removed from the oven. You may scald yourself.

The hot air or steam released may cause scalding.
Food particles or spattered oils stuck to oven walls or floor can

cause paint damage and reduce the effi cien cy of the ove n.

: This sound is normal when the electrical power output is changing.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

During cooking, you should look into the oven from time to time when food is
being heated or cooked in disposable containers of plastic, paper or other
combustible materials.

IMPORTANT

Young children or infirm persons should NEVER be allowed to use or play with
the microwave oven. Nor should they be left unattended near the microwave
oven when it is in use. Items of interest to children should not be stored or hidden
just above the oven.

Place the oven on a flat, level surface that strong enough to safely bear
the weight of the oven.

1. When you install your oven, make sure there is adequate
ventilation for your oven by leaving at least 10 cm (4
inches) of space behind and, on the sides of the oven
and 20 cm (8 inches) of space above and 85 cm(33
inches) of the floor.

2. Remove all packing materials inside the oven.
Install the roller ring and turntable.

Check that the turntable rotates freely.

3. This microwave oven has to be positioned so that plug is
accessible.

automatically switch itself off. It will remain inoperable until it has
cooled sufficiently.

☛ For your personal safety, plug the cable into a 3-pin, 230 Volt,

50Hz, AC earthed socket. If the power cable of this appliance is
damaged, it must be replaced by a special cable (I-SHENG
SP022, KDK KKP4819D, EUROELECTRIC 3410, SAMIL SP­106B, MOONSUNG EP-48E, HIGH PROJECT H.P 3). Contact
your local dealer to have it replaced. The power cable of ISRAEL
is PENCON(ZD16A), S/AFRICA APEX LEADS SA16 and
NIGERIA, GHANA, KENYA and U.A.E is PENCON(UD13A1).

☛ Do not install the microwave oven in hot or damp surroundings

like next to a traditional oven or radiator. The power supply
specifications of the oven must be respected and any extension
cable used must be of the same standard as the power cable
supplied with the oven. Wipe the interior and the door seal with a
damp cloth before using your microwave oven for the first time.
