*According to IEC 705 test procedures.

1. When boiling water or other liquids, be sure to
use a wide mouthed container, this will allow air
bubbles to escape freely and prevent boiling over.
Overheating the liquid beyond boiling point can
occur without the evidence of bubbling. This
could result in a sudden boil over of the hot liquid.

2. Do not attempt to operate the oven while empty
as this will cause damage.

3. Do not deep fry in the microwave oven as the
temperature of the oil cannot be controlled and it
may overheat.

4. Never completely seal containers in the
microwave oven. Coverings are necessary but
containers must not be airtight.

5. Small quantities of food with low moisture
content or high fat or sugar content can burn, dry
out or catch fire if cooked or re-heated too long.
Please note that the heating / cooking period
required is extremely short: for example it only
takes approximately 15 seconds to heat one
mince pie or similar.

6. Always pierce food which has a skin or
membrane, for example, eggs, potatoes,
tomatoes, apples, sausages etc. If you don't
pierce them steam will build up inside and they
may explode.

7. When disposable containers of plastic, paper or
other combustible materials are used to reheat
food, it is advisable to check from time to time
during the cooking cycle.

NOTE

It is quite normal for steam to be emitted around
the door, for misting to occur on the door, or
even for water droplets to appear below the door
during the cooking cycle. This is merely
condensation from the heat of the food and does
not affect the safety of your oven.The door is not
intended to seal the oven cavity completely but its
special SANYO design contributes to the
complete safety of the appliance.

HOW TO USE YOUR OVEN SAFELY (MICROWAVE)

ALTHOUGH YOUR OVEN IS PROVIDED WITH SAFETY FEATURES,

IT IS IMPORTANT TO OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:

a. Do not tamper with safety interlocks.
b. Do not place any object between the oven and the door or allow any food residue to accumulate on

sealing surfaces. Wipe the door sealing area frequently with a mild detergent, rinse and wipe dry. Never
use abrasive powders or pads.

c. When opened, the door must not be subjected to strain, for example, a child hanging on an opened door

may cause the oven to fall forward resulting in injury.
d. If any damage is apparent, do not operate the oven. Contact your nearest SANYO SERVICE CENTRE.
e. Children may use the appliance only without supervision as long as instructions had been given which

enables the child for safe operation and makes the child aware of the dangers of false operation.

OTHER IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

The following safety precautions should be
followed when using this appliance:

1. Read all instructions before first use.

2. When using the grill and / or convection

function for the first time, smoke and odour
may be given off for a few minutes. This is
normal during first operation, and is no
cause for alarm.

3. As with most cooking appliances, close
supervision is necessary.

If a fire should start:

* Keep the oven door closed.
* Turn the oven off.
* Disconnect the power cord or shut off the power

at the mains.

Other important safety points to remember are:

WHEN COOKING BY MICROWAVE:

1. Do not use wire ties in the oven. Be sure to
inspect purchased items for wire ties and
remove before placing food in the oven.

2. It is important to keep the oven interior clean.
Food particles left on the oven walls reduce the
efficiency of the microwaves.

3. Do not heat foods or liquids in bottles or jars
with lids on. Air must be allowed to escape from
the container.

4. Milk or food for babies should be heated on
450W. It should then be stirred thoroughly
and tested to ensure that it is at the correct
temperature before giving it to the baby.

5. Care must be taken when removing cups of hot
liquid from the turntable. Cups should be lifted
not slid to the edge of the turntable to prevent
tipping.

6. Never microwave eggs in the shell since they
may explode. The egg yolk may pop because of
a build-up of steam inside the membrane. To
prevent this, pierce the membrane before
cooking it.

WHEN COOKING BY GRILL / CONVECTION:

1. Take care not to spill water on the glass
viewing window during or immediately
after cooking as it may crack.

2. Be sure to use an oven glove when loading
and unloading the oven. Care should be
taken to avoid touching cavity walls inside
oven.

3. Be careful not to touch the viewing window
when loading or unloading the oven.

4. The top of the cabinet gets very hot,
therefore do not place items on the oven.

WARNING

(a) Do not adjust or repair microwave oven yourself. Do not operate the oven if it is damaged,

until it has been repaired by a service engineer trained by the manufacturer.

(b) It is dangerous for anyone other than a properly qualified engineer trained by the

manufacturer to carry out adjustments or repairs.

(c) If the power supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its

service agent or a similarly qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.

(d) On no account remove or interfere with any parts or screws.

THIS COULD PROVE VERY DANGEROUS.

INSTALLATION

OVEN POSITIONING

moisture are generated as
this may lower oven efficiency.

3. Covering the air vents may
lead to malfunctioning,
therefore a minimum
clearance of 5cm is required
to each side, and to
the rear and 5cm above.

4. This oven conforms to EMC
