instructions Safety
Do not place the oven over a fragile object such as a sink or glass object.
Do not use benzene, thinner, alcohol, steam cleaner or high pressure cleaner to clean the appliance.
Ensure that the power voltage, frequency and current are the same as those of the product specifications.
Plug the power plug into the wall socket firmly. Do not use a multiple plug adapter, an extension cord or an electric transformer.
Do not hook the power cord on a metal object, insert the power cord between the objects or behind the oven.
Do not use a damaged power plug, damaged power cord or loose wall socket. When the power plug or power cord is damaged, contact your nearest service centre.

Do not place objects on the oven, inside or on the door of the oven.
Do not spray volatile material such as insecticide onto the surface of the oven.
Do not store flammable materials in the oven. Take special care when heating dishes or drinks that contain alcohol as alcohol vapours may contact a hot part of the oven.
Keep children away from the door when opening or closing it as they may bump themselves on the door or catch their fingers in the door.
WARNING: Microwave heating of beverages can result in delayed eruptive boiling, therefore care must be taken when handling the container; To prevent this situation 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.
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.
Do not put the tray or rack in water shortly after cooking because it may cause breakage or damage of the tray or rack.
Do not operate the microwave oven for deep fat frying because the oil temperature cannot be controlled. This could result in a sudden boil over of the hot liquid.

CAUTION
Only use utensils that are suitable for use in microwave ovens; DO NOT use any metallic containers, Dinnerware with gold or silver trimmings, Skewers, forks, etc.
Remove wire twist ties from paper or plastic bags.
Reason: Electric arcing or sparking may occur and may damage the oven.
Do not use your microwave oven to dry papers or clothes.
Use shorter times for smaller amounts of food to prevent overheating and burning food.
Do not immerse the power cable or power plug in water and keep the power cable away from heat.
Eggs in their shell and whole hard-boiled eggs should not be heated in microwave ovens since they may explode, even after microwave heating has ended; Also do not heat airtight or vacuum-sealed bottles, jars, containers, nuts inshells, tomatoes etc.
Do not cover the ventilation slots with cloth or paper. They may catch fire as hot air escapes from the oven. The oven may also overheat and switch itself off automatically, and will remain off until it cools sufficiently.
Always use oven mitts when removing a dish from the oven to avoid unintentional burns.
Stir liquids halfway during heating or after heating ends and allow the liquid stand at least 20 seconds after heating to prevent eruptive boiling.
Stand at arms length from the oven when opening the door to avoid getting scalded by escaping hot air or steam.
Do not operate the microwave oven when it is empty. The microwave oven will automatically shut down for 30 minutes for safety purposes. We recommend placing a glass of water inside the oven at all times to absorb microwave energy in case the microwave oven is started accidentally.
