Installation
1. Make sure that all the packing materials are removed from the inside of the door.
2. WARNING: Check the oven for any damage, such as misaligned or bent door, damaged
door seals and sealing surface, broken or loose door hinges and latches and dents inside
the cavity or on the door. If there is any damage, do not operate the oven and contact
qualified service personnel.
3. This microwave oven must be placed on a flat, stable surface to hold its weight and the
heaviest food likely to be cooked in the oven.
4. Do not place the oven where heat, moisture, or high humidity are generated, or near
combustible materials.
5. For correct operation, the oven must have sufficient airflow. Allow 20cm of space above
the oven, 10cm at back and 5cm at both sides. Do not cover or block any openings on the
appliance. Do not remove feet.
6. Do not operate the oven without glass tray, roller support, and shaft in their
proper positions.
7. Make sure that the power supply cord is undamaged and does not run under the oven or
over any hot or sharp surface.
8. The socket must be readily accessible so that it can be easily unplugged in an emergency.
9. Do not use the oven outdoors.
Radio Interference
Operation of the microwave oven can cause interference to your radio, TV, or similar
equipment. When there is interference, it may be reduced or eliminated by taking the
following measures:
1. Clean door and sealing surface of the oven.
2. Reorient the receiving antenna of radio or television.
3. Relocate the microwave oven with respect to the receiver.
4. Move the microwave oven away from the receiver.

Principles of Microwave Cooking
1. Arrange food carefully. Place thickest areas towards outside of dish.
2. Watch cooking time. Cook for the shortest amount of time indicated and add more as
needed. Food severely overcooked can smoke or ignite.
3. Cover foods while cooking. Covers prevent spattering and help foods to cook evenly.
4. Turn foods over once during microwave cooking to speed cooking of such foods as
chicken and hamburgers. Large items like roasts must be turned over at least once.
5. Rearrange foods such as meatballs halfway through cooking both from top to bottom
and from the center of the dish to the outside.
Grounding Instructions
This appliance must be grounded. This oven is equipped with a cord having a grounding
wire with a grounding plug. It must be plugged into a wall receptacle that is properly
installed and grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces risk of
electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current. It is recommended that a
separate circuit serving only the oven be provided. Using a high voltage is dangerous and
may result in a fire or other accident causing oven damage.
WARNING: Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock.
Note:
1. If you have any questions about the grounding or electrical instructions, consult a
qualified electrician or service person.
2. Neither the manufacturer nor the dealer can accept any liability for damage to the oven
or personal injury resulting from failure to observe the electrical connection procedures.
The wires in this cable main are coloured in accordance with the following code:
Green and Yellow = EARTH
Blue = NEUTRAL
Brown = LIVE

Before you call for a service
If the oven fails to operate:
1. Check to ensure that the oven is plugged in securely. If it is not, remove the plug from
the outlet, wait 10 seconds, and plug it in again securely.
2. Check for a blown circuit fuse or a tripped main circuit breaker. If these seem to be
operating properly, test the outlet with another appliance.
3. Check to ensure that the control panel is programmed correctly and the timer is set.
4. Check to ensure that the door is securely closed engaging the door safety lock system.
Otherwise, the microwave energy will not flow into the oven.
IF NONE OF THE ABOVE RECTIFIES THE SITUATION, THEN CONTACT A QUALIFIED
TECHNICIAN. DO NOT TRY TO ADJUST OR REPAIR THE OVEN YOURSELF.
Utensils Guide
1. The ideal material for a microwave utensil is transparent to microwave, it allows energy
to pass through the container and heat the food.
2. Microwave cannot penetrate metal, so metal utensils or dishes with metallic trim should
not be used.
3. Do not use recycled paper products when microwave cooking, as they may contain
small metal fragments which may cause sparks and/or fires.
4. Round /oval dishes rather than square/oblong ones are recommend, as food in corners
tends to overcook.
5. Narrow strips of aluminium foil may be used to prevent overcooking of exposed areas.
But be careful don’t use too much and keep a distance of 1 inch (2.54 cm) between foil
and cavity.
The list below is a general guide to help you select the correct utensils.
