Safety
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 loos ened) , (3) Door seals and sealing surfaces .
(d) The oven should not be adjusted or repaired by anyone except
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 exis ts .

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 INSRTUCTIONS
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.
Installing Y o ur Microwave Oven
Place the oven on a flat, level surface that strong
enough to safely bear the weight of the oven.
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 the manufacturer or its service agent or a
similarly qualified
person in order to avoid
a
hazard.
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.
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)
20cm above
10cm behind
10cm on the side
