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.
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 3-slot 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.
INSTALLATION
Steady, flat location
This oven should be set on a steady, flat surface. This oven is designed for counter top use
only.
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.
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.
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.
Power supply
• Check your local power source. This oven requires a current of approximately 6 amperes,
220V~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.
• This appliance is supplied with cable of special type, which, if damaged, must be repaired with
cable of same type.
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.
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

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
SAVE THESE 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.

MICROWAVE UTENSILS
Glass, Ceramic and China
Ovenproof glass or ceramic baking dishes are the most used microwave utensils.
Many of these items are readily available in most homes : glass measure, custard cups, mixing bowls,
covered casseroles, pie plates and round or square cake dishes. Ovenproof dinner ware is usually safe to
use in the microwave.
Do not heat or cook in glass jars or bottles.
Do not use dishes with silver, gold, platinum or other metal trim. Arcing may occur and /or the dish may
break.
Do not use delicate or stemmed glassware. Although the glass may be transparent to microwave energy,
heat from the food may cause the glassware to crack.
Plastics
Plastic dishes, cups, mugs and bowls may be used in the oven for short periods of time. None of these
should be used in the oven for prolonged periods because distortion and melting may occur.
Check manufacturer's recommendations concerning microwave safety.
Plastic wrap can be used to cover dishes in most recipes if the dish is deep enough to avoid plastic wrap
touching the food. Always vent the wrap by folding back one corner to allow excess steam to escape.
Plastic cooking bags should be slit before cooking so excess steam can escape.
Do not use wire twist ties to close the bag. Wire twist ties can cause arcing which can damage the oven.
Paper
Paper cups, wax paper, napkins, paper towels, and plates may be used for short cooking. Prolonged time
in the oven can cause paper to burn. Do not use recycled paper products, such as brown paper bags.
They contain impurities which may cause arcing and damage the oven.
Metal
Metal utensils should not be used in the oven. Metal reflects microwave energy so foods will not cook
evenly.
Metal can cause arcing and damage the oven.
UTENSIL TEST Dishes that do not absorb microwave energy are best for microwave
cooking. Lock on the label to verify that particular cups, glasses, plates
are indeed suitable, especially paper goods. If you are not sure, try this
utensil test to check.
• Put the empty utensil in the microwave oven.
• Put one cup of water in a glass measure next to the empty utensil.
• Heat on HI for 1 minute.
• After 1 minute the water should be warm but the utensil should not.
If the utensil is warm, it is not suitable for microwave cooking.

CARE OF YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN
Turn the oven off before cleaning.
Keep the inside of the oven clean. When food
spatters or spilled liquids adhere to oven walls,
wipe with a damp cloth. Mild detergent may be
used if the oven gets very dirty. The use of
harsh detergent or abrasives is not
recommended.
The outside oven surface should be cleaned
with soap and water, rinsed and dried with a
soft cloth. To prevent damage to the operating
parts inside the oven, water should not be
allowed to seep into the ventilation openings.
If the Control Panel becomes wet, clean with a
soft, dry cloth. Do not use harsh detergents or
abrasives on Control Panel.
If steam accumulates inside or around the
outside of the oven door, wipe with a soft cloth.
This may occur when the microwave oven is
operated under high humidity conditions and
in no way indicates malfunction of the unit.
It is occasionally necessary to remove the
glass tray for cleaning. Wash the tray in warm
sudsy water or in a dishwasher.

USE YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN SAFELY
General Use
Do not attempt to defeat or tamper with safety interlocks.
Do not place any object between the oven front frame and the door or allow residue to build up on
sealing surfaces. Wipe with a mild detergent, rinse and dry. Never use abrasive powders or pads.
Do not subject the oven door strain or weight such as a child hanging on an open door.
This could cause the oven to fall forward resulting in injury to you and damage to the oven.
Do not operate the oven if door seals or sealing surfaces are damaged, or if door is bent, or if hinges
are loose or broken.
Do not operate the oven empty. This will damage the oven.
Do not attempt to dry clothes, newspapers or other materials in the oven. They may catch on fire.
Do not use recycled paper products as they may contain impurities which may cause sparks or fires.
Do not hit or strike the control panel with hard objects. This can damage the oven.
Food
Never use your microwave oven for home canning. The oven is not designed for proper home
canning.
Improperly canned food may spoil and be dangerous to consume.
Always use the minimum recipe cooking time. It is better to undercook rather than over cook foods.
Undercooked foods can be returned to the oven for more cooking. If food is overcooked, nothing can
be done.
Heat small quantities of food or foods with low moisture carefully. These can quickly dry out, burn or
catch on fire.
Do not heat eggs in the shell. Pressure may build up and eggs can explode.
Potatoes, apples, egg yolks and sausages are examples of food with non-porous skins.
These must be pierced before cooking to prevent bursting.
Do not attempt to deep fat fry in your microwave oven.
Always stir liquids before heating. Heated liquids can erupt, if not mixed with air.
Do not pop popcorn in a paper bag unless it is the commercially prepared Microwave Popcorn
product.
The kernels can overheat and ignite a brown paper bag.
Do not exceed the Microwave Popcorn manufacturers’ suggested popping time. Longer popping does
not yield more popcorn but it can result in scorch burn of fire. Remember, the popcorn bag and tray
can be too hot to handle. Remove with caution and use pot holders.
ARCING
If you see arcing, press STOP/CLEAR button and correct the problem.
Arcing is the microwave term for sparks in the oven. Arcing is caused by:
• Metal or foil touching the side of the oven.
• Foil not molded to food (upturned edges act like antennas).
• Metal, such as twist-ties, poultry pins, or gold rimmed dishes, in the microwave.
• Recycled paper towels containing small metal pieces being used in the microwave.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
* Q :I accidentally ran my microwave oven without any food in it. Is it damaged?
*A : Running the oven empty for a short time will not damage the oven.
However, it is not recommended.
* Q :Can the oven be used with the glass tray or roller guide removed?
*A : No. Both the glass tray and roller guide must always be used in the oven before cooking.
* Q :Can I open the door when the oven is operating?
*A : The door can be opened anytime during the cooking operation. Then microwave energy will be instantly
switched off and the time setting will maintain until the door is closed and START is touched.
* Q :Why do I have moisture in my microwave oven after cooking?
*A : The moisture on the side of your microwave oven is normal. It is caused by steam form cooking food
hitting the cool oven surface.
* Q :Dose microwave energy pass through the viewing screen in the door?
*A : No. The metal screen bounces back the energy to the oven cavity. The holes are made to
allow light to pass through. They do not let microwave energy pass through.
* Q :Why do eggs sometimes pop?
*A :When baking or poaching eggs, the yolk may pop due to steam build-up inside the yolk membrane.
To prevent this, simply pierce the yolk with a toothpick before cooking. Never cook eggs without
piercing their shells.
* Q :Why is standing time recommended after the cooking operation has been completed?
*A : Standing time is very important.
With microwave cooking, the heat is in the food, not in the oven. Many foods build up enough
internal heat to allow the cooking process to continue, even after the food is removed from the
oven. Standing time for joints of meat, large vegetables and cakes allows the inside to cook
completely, without overcooking the outside.
* Q :What does “standing time” mean?
*A :“Standing time” means that food should be removed from the oven and covered for additional time
to allow it to finish cooking. This frees the oven for other cooking.
* Q :Why does my oven not always cook as fast as the microwave cooking guide says?
*A :Check your cooking guide again, to make sure you’ve followed directions exactly ; and to see what
might cause variations in cooking time. Cooking guide times and heat settings are suggestions, to
help prevent over-cooking... the most common problem in getting used to a microwave oven.
Variations in the size, shape and weights and dimensions could require longer cooking time. Use
your own judgement along with the cooking guide suggestions to check whether the food has been
properly cooked just as you would do with a conventional cooker.
* Q :Will the microwave oven be damaged if it operates while empty?
*A : Yes. Never run it empty.
* Q :Can I operate my microwave oven without the turntable or turn the turntable over to hold a large
dish?
*A :No. If you remove or turn over the turntable, you will get poor cooking results. Dishes used in your
oven must fit on the turntable.
* Q :Is it normal for the turntable to turn in either direction?
*A :Yes. The turntable rotates clockwise or counterclockwise, depending on the rotation of the motor
when the cooking cycle begins.
* Q :Can I pop popcorn in my microwave oven? How do I get the best results?
*A :Yes. Pop packaged microwave popcorn following manufactures guidelines or use the preset
POPCORN pad. Do not use regular paper bags. Use the “listening test” by stopping the oven as
soon as the popping slows to a “pop” every 1 or 2 seconds. Do not repop unpopped kernels. Do not
pop popcorn in glass cookware.
