(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.

repaired by a competent person : (1) door (bent), (2) hinges and latches(broken or loosened), (3) door seals and sealing surfaces.

(d) WARNING : It is hazardous for anyone other than a competent person to carry out any service or repair

operation which involves the removal of a cover which gives protection against exposure to microwave energy.

(e) WARNING : Liquids and other foods must not be heated in sealed containers since they are liable to

explode.

(f) The appliance is not intended for use by young children or infirm person without supervision. Young children

should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

(g) 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.

(h) WARNING : When the appliance is operated in the combination mode, children should only use the oven

under adult supervision due to the temperature generated. (if provided)

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

READ CAREFULLY AND KEEP FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.

WARNING : To prevent fire, burns, electric shock and other warnings: Listed below are, as with all appliances, certain rules to follow and safeguards to assure high

performance from this oven:

1. Do not use the oven for any reason other than food preparation, such as for drying clothes, paper, or any other nonfood items or for sterilizing purposes.

2. Do not use the oven when empty, this could damage the oven.

3. Do not use the oven cavity for any type of storage, such as papers, cookbook, cookware, etc.

4. Do not operate the oven without the glass tray in place. Be sure it is properly sitting on the rotating base.

5. Make sure you remove caps or lids prior to cooking when you cook food sealed in bottles.

6. Do not put foreign material between the oven surface and door. It could result in excessive leakage of microwave energy.

7. Do not use recycled paper products for cooking. They may contain impurities which could cause sparks and/or fires when used during cooking.

8. Do not pop popcorn unless popped in a microwave approved popcorn popper or unless it's commercially packaged and recommended especially for microwave ovens. Microwave popped corn produces a lower yield than conventional popping; there will be a number of unpopped kernels. Do not use oil unless specified by the manufacturer.

9. Do not cook any food surrounded by a membrane, such as egg yolks, potatoes, chicken livers, etc., without first piercing them several times with a fork.

10. Do not pop popcorn longer than the manufacturer's directions. (popping time is generally below 3 minutes). Longer cooking does not yield more popped corn, it can cause scorchings and fire.

Also, the cooking tray can become too hot to handle or may break.

11. If smoke is observed, switch off or unplug the

appliance and keep the door closed in order to stifle any flames.

12. When heating food in plastic or paper containers,

keep an eye on the oven due to the possibility of ignition.

13. The contents of feeding bottles and baby food jars shall be stirred or shaken and the temperature checked before consumption, in order to avoid burns.

14. Always test the temperature of food or drink which has been heated in a microwave oven before you give it to somebody, especially to children or elderly people. This is important because things which have been heated in a microwave oven carry on getting hotter even though the microwave oven cooking has stopped.

15. 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.

16. Keep the waveguide cover clean at all times. Wipe the oven interior with a soft damp cloth after each use. If you leave grease or fat anywhere in the cavity it may overheat, smoke or even catch fire when next using the oven.

17. Never heat oil or fat for deep frying as you cannot control the temperature and doing so may lead to overheating and fire.

18. Microwave heating of beverages can result in delayed eruptive boiling, therefore care must be taken when handling the container.

19. a) Be cautions about touching parts other than control panel during or immediately following grill or combi cooking.

b) Always use hot pads or oven mitts when placing or removing food and/or accessories from the oven.

20. The appliance is not intended for use by young children or infirm person without supervision.

21. Young children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

22. This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.

23. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

EARTHING INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance must be earthed. In the event of an electrical short circuit, earthing reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current. This appliance is equipped with a cord having a earthing wire with a earthing plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and earthed.

INSTALLA TION

1. Ventilation

Do not block air vents. If they are blocked during operation, the oven may overheat and eventually cause a failure. For proper ventilation, allow above 3 inches of space between oven sides, rear and the minimum height of free space necesary above the top surface of the oven is 100mm.

2. Steady, flat location

This oven should be set on a steady, flat surface. This oven is designed for counter top use only. The microwave oven shall not be placed in a cabinet unless it has been tested in a cabinet.

3. Leave space behind and side

All air vents should be kept a clearance. If all vents are covered during operation, the oven may overheat and, eventually, oven failure.

4. Away from radio and TV sets

Poor television reception and radio interference may result if the oven is located close to a TV, Radio antenna, feeder and so on. Position the oven as far from them as possible.

5. Away from heating appliance and water taps

Keep the oven away from hot air, steam or Splash when choosing a place to position it, or the insulation might be adversely affected and breakdowns occur.

6. Power supply

• Check your locla power source. This oven requires a current of approximately 10 amperes, 240V 50Hz.

• Power supply cord is about 0.8 meters long.

• The voltage used must be the same as specified on this oven. Using a higher voltage may result in a fire or other accident causing oven damage. Using low voltage will cause slow cooking. We are not responsible for damage resulting from use of this oven with a voltage of ampere fuse other than those specified.

• If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or a similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.

7. Examine the oven after unpacking for any damage such as:

A misaligned door, Broken door, A dent in cavity. If any of the above are visible, DO NOT INSTALL, and notify dealer immediately.
