Safety

RECAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO

EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY

Failure to observe the following safety precautions may result in harmful exposure to

microwave energy.

(a) Do not attempt to operate this oven with the door open since open-

door operation can result in harmful exposure to microwave energy.

It is important not to defeat or tamper with the safety interlocks.

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

allow soil or cleaner residue to accumulate on sealing surfaces.

(c) Do not operate the oven if it is damaged. It is particularly important

that the oven door close properly and that there is no damage to the

(1) Door (bent or dented),

(2) Hinges and latches (broken or loosened),

(3) Door seals and sealing surfaces.

properly qualified service personnel.

Safety Precautions

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

thecontainer is too hot.

•A

risk of delayed eruptive boiling exists.

3

Safety Precautions

• 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 in

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

automatically for safety. You can operate the oven 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 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.

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.

Please recycle or dispose of the packaging material for this product in an

environmentally responsible manner.

Please contact your local authorities in regard to the enviromentally safe

disposal of this product.

Installing Your Microwave Oven

Place the oven on a flat, level surface that strong

enough to safely bear the weight of the oven.

8

Never

block the air vents as the oven may overheat and automatically

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

8

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 the manufacturer or its service agent or a

similarly qualified

person in order to avoid

a

hazard.

8

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.

How a Microwave Oven Works

Cooking Principle



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

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.

2.

Remove all packing materials inside the oven.

Install the roller ring and turntable.

Check that the turntable rotates freely.

20cm

above

10cm

behind

10cm

on the side

1.

The microwaves generated by the magnetron are

distributed uniformly as the food rotates on the

turntable. The food is thus cooked evenly.

2.

The 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 container used

and the properties of the food:

• Quantity and density

• Water content

• Initial temperature (refrigerated or not)
