USE OF EXTENSION CORDS

A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risk of your becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. Longer cord sets or extension cords are available and you can use them if you exercise care. If you use a long cord or extension cord:

1.The marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance.

2.The extension cord must be a grounding-type 3-wire cord and it must be plugged into a 3-slot outlet.

3.The longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the counter top or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over accidentally. If you use an extension cord, the interior light may flicker and the speed of the blower may vary when the microwave oven is on. Cooking times may be longer too.

CRITICAL INSTALLATION WARNINGS

The installation of this appliance must be performed by a qualified technician or service company.

-Failing to have a qualified technician install the oven may result in electric shock, fire, an explosion, problems with the product, or injury.

Unpack the oven, remove all packaging material and examine the oven for any damage such as dents on the interior or exterior of the oven, broken door latches, cracks in the door, or a door that is not lined up correctly. If there is any damage, do not operate the oven and notify your dealer immediately.

Make sure to install your oven in a location with adequate space.

Remove all foreign substances such as dust or water from the power plug terminals and contact points using a dry cloth on a regular basis.

-Unplug the power plug and clean it with a dry cloth.

-Failing to do so may result in electric shock or fire.

Plug the power cord into a properly grounded 3 pronged outlet. Your oven should be the only appliance connected to this circuit.

-Sharing a wall socket with other appliances, using a power strip, or extending the power cord may result in electric shock or fire.

-Do not use an electric transformer. It may result in electric shock or fire.

-Ensure that the voltage, frequency and current provided match the product’s specifications. Failing to do so may result in electric shock or fire.

INSTALLATION CAUTIONS

Position the oven so that the plug is easily accessible.

- Failing to do so may result in electric shock or fire due to electric leakage. Unplug the oven when it is not being used for long periods of time or during a thunder/lightning storm.

- Failing to do so may result in electric shock or fire.

CRITICAL USAGE WARNINGS

If the microwave appliance is flooded, please contact your nearest service center. Failing to do so may result in electric shock or fire.

Read and follow the specific “Precautions to Avoid Possible Exposure to Excessive Mic rowave Energy”, found in the beginning of this Safety Information Section.

If the microwave generates a strange noise, a burning smell or smoke, unplug it immediately and contact your nearest service center.

- Failing to do so may result in electric shock or fire.

In the event of a gas leak (propane gas, LP gas, etc.), ventilate the room immediately. Do not touch the microwave, power cord, or plug.

-Do not use a ventilating fan.

-A spark may result in an explosion or fire.

Take care that the door or any of the other parts do not come into contact with your body while cooking or just after cooking.

- Failing to do so may result in burns.

In the event of a grease fire on the surface units below the oven, smother the flaming pan on the surface unit by covering the pan completely with a lid, a cookie sheet, or a flat tray. Never leave surface units beneath your oven unattended at high heat settings. Boil

overs cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite and spread if the vent fan is operating. To minimize automatic fan operation, use adequate sized cookware and use high heat on surface units only when necessary.

If materials inside the oven should ignite, keep the oven door closed, turn the oven off and disconnect the power cord, or shut off power at the fuse or circuit breaker panel. If the door is opened, the fire may spread.

-Always observe Safety Precautions when using your oven. Never try to repair the oven on your own. There is dangerous voltage inside. If the oven needs to be repaired, contact an authorized service center near you.

How a microwave oven works

Microwaves are high-frequency electromagnetic waves. The microwaves cause molecules in the food to vibrate more quickly, releasing heat. This heat disperses through the food, cooking it, reheating it, or defrosting it.

You can use your microwave oven to:

•Defrost (manual & auto)

•Cook

•Reheat

Cooking principle.

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 power level setting you use and the properties of the food:

• Quantity and density

• Water content

• Initial temperature (refrigerated or not)

IMPORTANT

As the center of the food is cooked by heat dissipation, cooking continues even after you have taken the food out of the oven. You should use the standing times specified in recipes and in this booklet to ensure:

• Even cooking of the food right to the center.

• The same temperature throughout the food.

Result: The oven heats the water for 4 or 5 minutes. The water should then be boiling.

1) When cooking has finished the oven beeps 4 times.

2) The end reminder signal will beep 1 time (once every minute).

3) The current time is

2	displayed again.

NOTE

The oven must be plugged into an appropriate wall socket. The turntable must be in position in the oven. If a power level other than the maximum is used, the water takes longer to boil.

28 English

Your microwave allows you to set up to two different stages of cooking, each with its own time length and power level. The MWO Power Level button lets you control the heating intensity from Warm (1) to High

(10).

One-stage cooking

For simple one-stage cooking, you only need to set a cooking time. The power level is automatically set to High. If you want to set the power to any other level, you must set it using the MWO Power Level button.

					1. Use the Number buttons to set a cooking
						time. You can set a time from one second
						to 99 minutes, 99 seconds. To set a time
						over one minute, enter the seconds too.
1						For example, to set 20 minutes, enter 2,
					0, 0, 0.
					2. If you want to set the power level to
						something other than High, press the
						MWO Power Level button, then use the
						Number buttons to enter a power level.
2						Power Level
						0	= PL:0	(Deodorization)
						1	= PL:10	(Warm)
						2	= PL:20	(Defrost)
						3	= PL:30	(Low)
2						4	= PL:40	(Medium low)
						5	= PL:50	(Medium)
						6	= PL:60	(Simmer)
						7	= PL:70	(Medium high)
				3
						8	= PL:80	(Reheat)
						9	= PL:90	(Sauté)
						10 = PL:Hi		(High)

3. Press the Start button to begin cooking. If you want to change the power level, press the Stop/Cancel button before you press the Start button, and repeat Steps

1 and 2 above.

Some recipes require different stages of cooking at different temperatures. You can set multiple stages of cooking with your microwave.
