Important Note Turn

PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY

Failure to observe the following safety precautions may result in harmful exposure to microwave energy. (a) Under no circumstances should any attempt be made to operate the oven with

the door open or to tamper with the safety interlocks (door latches) or to insert anything into the safety interlock holes.

(b) Do not place any object between the oven door and front face or allow food or

cleaner residues to accumulate on sealing surfaces. Ensure that the door and door sealing surfaces are kept clean by wiping after use first with a damp cloth and then with a soft dry cloth.

qualified microwave service technician trained by the manufacturer. It is particularly important that the oven door closes properly and that there is no damage to the: (1) Door, door seals and sealing surfaces (2) Door hinges (broken or loose) (3) Power cable

(d) The oven should not be adjusted or repaired by anyone other than a properly

qualified microwave service technician trained by the manufacturer.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS.

READ CAREFULLY AND KEEP FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.

Before cooking food or liquids in your microwave oven, please check that the following safety precautions are taken.

1. DO NOT use any metallic cookware in the microwave oven:

• Metallic containers

• Dinnerware with gold or silver trimmings

• Skewers, forks, etc. Reason: Electric arcing or sparking may occur and may damage the oven.

2. DO NOT heat:

• Airtight or vacuum-sealed bottles, jars, containers Ex) Baby food jars

• Airtight food. Ex) Eggs, nuts in shells, tomatoes Reason: The increase in pressure may cause them to explode.

Tip: Remove lids and pierce skins, bags, etc.

3. DO NOT operate the microwave oven when it is empty. Reason: The oven walls may be damaged. Tip: Leave a glass of water inside the oven at all times.

The water will absorb the microwaves if you accidentally set the oven going when it is empty.

4. DO NOT cover the rear ventilation slots with cloths or paper. Reason: The cloths or paper may catch fire as hot air is evacuated from the

oven.

5. ALWAYS use oven gloves when removing a dish from the oven. Reason: Some dishes absorb microwaves and heat is always transferred

from the food to the dish.The dishes are therefore hot.

6. DO NOT touch heating elements or interior oven walls. Reason: 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.

7. To reduce the risk of fire in the oven cavity:

• Do not store flammable materials in the oven

• Remove wire twist ties from paper or plastic bags

• Do not use your microwave oven to dry newspapers

• If smoke is observed, keep the oven door closed and switch off or

disconnect the oven from the power supply

8. Take particular care when heating liquids and baby foods.

• ALWAYS allow a standing time of at least 20 seconds after the oven has

been switched off so that the temperature can equalize.

• Stir during heating, if necessary, and ALWAYS stir after heating.

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

yourself, if the container is too hot.

Safety Precautions (continued)

• 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: 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.

• 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: The hot air or steam released may cause scalding.

11. Keep the inside of the oven clean. Reason: Food particles or spattered oils stuck to oven walls or floor can

cause paint damage and reduce the efficiency of the oven.

12. You may notice a “Clicking” sound during operation(especially when the oven is defrosting). Reason: This sound is normal when the electrical power output is changing.

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

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 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.

WARNING:

If the door or door seals are damaged, the oven must not be operated until it has been repaired by a competent person.

WARNING:

It is hazardous for anyone other than a comperent person to carry out any service or repair operation which involves the removal of a cover which gives protection against exposure to microwave energy.

WARNING:

Liquids and other foods must not be heated in sealed containers since they are liable to explode.

WARNING:

Only allow children to use the oven without supervision when adequate instructions have been given so that the child is able to use the oven in a safe way and understands the hazards of improper use.

10cm

least 20 cm (8 inches) of space above the oven.

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.

☛ Never block the air vents as the oven may overheat and

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.
