SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

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.

(c)Do not operate the oven if it is damaged until it has been repaired by a 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 loosened)

(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.

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

1.Utensils should be checked to ensure that they are suitable for use in microwave ovens as below.

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, although 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.

2 SAFETY

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS (continued)

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.

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.“Clicking” sound might be noticed while operating, especially at defrosting mode.

Reason : When the electrical power output is changing, you may hear that sound.

This is normal.

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.

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.

SAFETY 3

INSTALLING YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN

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

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

Remove all packing materials inside the oven.

Install the roller ring and turntable.

Check that the turntable rotates freely.

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, 240 Volt, 50Hz, AC earthed socket. If the power cable of this appliance is damaged, it must be replaced by a special cable KDK(KKP-550A). Contact your local dealer to have it replaced.

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.

Cooking Principle

1The microwaves generated by the magnetron are distributed uniformly as the food rotates on the turntable. The food is thus cooked evenly.

2The microwaves are absorbed by the food up to a depth of about 1 inch (2.5 cm). Cooking then continues as the heat is dissipated

within the food.

3 Cooking times vary according to the recipient used and the properties of the food:

Quantity and density

Water content

Initial temperature (refrigerated or not)

As the centre of the food is cooked by heat dissipation, cooking continues even when you have taken the food out of the oven. Standing times specified in recipes and in this booklet must therefore be respected to ensure:

Even cooking of the food right to the centre

The same temperature throughout the food
