GROUNDING 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 Steady, flat location

This oven should be set on a steady, flat surface. This oven is designed for counter top use only.

2 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.

3 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.

4 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.

5 Power supply

• Check your local power source. This oven requires a current of approximately 12 amperes, 120V 60Hz.

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

6 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.

7 Do not operate the oven if it is colder than room temperature.

(This may occur during delivery in cold weather.) Allow the oven to become room temperature before

operating.

8 The minimum height of free space necessary above the top surface of the oven is 100mm(3.9 in).

WARNING : Improper use of the earthing plug can result in a risk of electric shock. Consult a qualified

electrician or serviceman if the earthing instructions are not completely understood, or if
doubt exists as to whether the appliance is properly earthed. If it is necessary to use an
extension cord, use only a 3-wire extension cord that has a 3-blade earthing plug, and a 3­slot receptacle that will accept the plug on the appliance. The marked rating of the
extension cord should be equal to or greater than the electrical rating of the appliance.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

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:

11. 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.

12. Do not use the microwave oven or the toaster when empty, this could damage the oven seriously.

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

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

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

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

microwave energy.

17. Do not use recycled paper products for cooking. It may contain impurities which could cause sparks and/or

fires when used during cooking.

18. 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.

19. 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, check the oven frequently due to the possibility of
ignition.

13. The contents of feeding bottles and baby food jars are to be stirred or shaken and the temperature is to be
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 shall not be heated in microwave ovens since they may
explode.

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 has to be taken
when handling the container.

IMPORTANT

Before using the toaster for the first time, operate the toaster without bread in order to burn off residues
on the heating elements. You will notice an odor that is characteristics of new heating elements. This is
normal and will soon disappear.

CLEANING THE TOASTER

Always unplug the Microwaves & Toaster and allow the toaster to cool completely before cleaning.

Toaster drawer:

Wipe surface with a soft, clean, damp cloth. Never use abrasive cleaners, as they may scratch the
surface. Do not use fork or other sharp, metal object to clean inside of the Toaster drawer, or to remove
toast, as it may damage heating elements.

Curmb Tray :

After allowing the toaster to cool down and closing the door, gently slide out the crumb tray. Brush
crumbs off the tray and, if necessary, wipe it with a clean, damp cloth. Always dry the tray thoroughly.
When sliding the crumb tray into place, be sure you feel and hear it snap into position.

COOKING TIPS

WARNING!

Never place any object in the toaster for any reason!

• DO NOT toast pastries with runny fillings or frosting.

• DO NOT toast torn slices of bread or broken pastries.

• DO NOT place buttered bread, wrapped food, or frozen pastries in the toaster.

• DO NOT use this toaster to toast or warm small-size bread slices. These include “melba” size breads,
slices of mini-baguettes, breadsticks, etc.

• DO NOT toast oversized bagel. Because thick bagel’s surface may become closer to the heater, this
may cause overdone of surface and smoke.

NOTE : Different types of bread and their moisture levels may require different darkness settings.

For example, dry bread will brown more rapidly than moist bread and so will be toasted to
your taste at a lighter setting.

NOTE : 2 pieces of bread or bagel should be cooked with this toaster.
