INSTALLING THE PROTECTIVE CIRCUIT
DANGER
Danger of electric shock when
touched, some internal components may cause serious
injury or death. Do not disassemble this appliance.
WARNING
Electric shock hazard. Improper use of earthing can
cause electric shock. Do not insert the plug into the
socket before the appliance is properly installed and
grounded.
This appliance must be grounded. In the event of a
short-circuit, earthing reduces the risk of electric shock.
The appliance is equipped with earthing wire with an
appropriate plug. The plug should be inserted into a
properly installed and grounded outlet.
If you do not completely understand
earthing instruction or you are unsure whether the ap-
pliance is properly grounded, please contact a qualied
electrician or service technician. If you must use an
extension cord, use only a three-wire extension with
an earthing connector. The manufacturer shall not be
liable for damage or injury resulting from connecting the
microwave oven to a power source without a protective
circuit or with a malfunctioning protection circuit.
1. A short power cord is provided to
reduce the risk resulting from
becoming entangled or tripping
over a long cord.
2. If you use the extension cord:
1) Extension cord must be
capable of withstanding nominal
current required by the appliance.
2) Extension cord must be
3-wire with earthing,
Extension cord should be so arranged as not to be hung
by the table top where it could be pulled by children, or
caught inadvertently.
COOKWARE
WARNING
Risk of injury. Tightly closed containers may
explode. Closed containers must be opened
and plastic bags pierced before cooking.
Materials that can be used and materials to be avoided
in the microwave oven.
The use of some non-metallic cookware may not be
safe in the microwave oven. If in doubt, you can check
the cookware following this procedure.
Testing the cookware:
1. Fill the microwave-safe cookware with 1 cup of cold water (250 ml), and do the same with the test cookware.
2. Operate the oven with the maximum power for 1 minute.
3. Carefully touch the test cookware. If the test cookware is hot, do not use it in the microwave oven.
4. Do not exceed 1 minute cooking time.

COOKWARE
Cookware Comments
Aluminium foil Only as shielding. Small and smooth pieces can be used for the coating of thin pieces of
meat or poultry, to prevent excessive cooking. Arc discharge may occur if the foil is too
close to the oven walls. Film must be at least at a distance of 2.5 cm from the oven walls.

FINAL REMARKS
Before using the microwave, please carefully read this manual. Store it in such a place, so that it may be
used in future. Do not repair the oven yourself, please contact manufacturer service. The contents of feeding
bottles and jars with food for children should be stirred or shaken and the temperature checked before
serving to prevent burns; Regularly check the oven and its power cord for damage. If there is any damage,
do not use the oven
WARNING:
1. Performing any maintenance or repairs which require removing any shielding protecting against microwave
energy is dangerous and should only be entrusted to a qualied technician;
2. Only give the child permission to use the oven without supervision when the child has been given appro-
priate guidance to use the microwave safely and is aware of the risks of misuse;
3. If the power supply cable is damaged, it should be replaced by the manufacturer or at an authorized
servicing outlet.
Do not attempt to operate the oven with the door open, because it may cause harmful exposure to microwave
energy. Do not disable the safety interlocks, or attempt to circumvent them.
Thoroughly clean the door gasket and sealing surfaces. Do not operate the oven if it is damaged. It is
particularly important that the oven door is properly closed and that there is no damage to: (1) door (bent),
(2) hinges and latches (broken or loosened), (3) gaskets and the door sealing surface. Check cookware and
make sure that it is suitable for use in microwave ovens.
When heating food in plastic or paper containers, pay special attention to the microwave oven as containers
may ignite;
Microwave heating of beverages can cause delayed boiling, therefore care should be taken when handling
the container;
Microwave oven interferes with the TV reception
Radio and television reception may be disrupted when
the microwave oven operates. The same applies to
small
household appliances such as a blender, vacuum
cleaner and electric fan. This is normal.
Dimmed oven lighting. When cooking with low microwave power, oven light
may be dimmer. This is normal.
Condensation forms on the door, hot air comes out
through vents.
When cooking, steam can be released from food. Most
of the steam escapes through the vents. However
some steam can collect in the form of condensation on
cooler parts, such as oven door. This is normal.

CLEANING AND CARE
EN
1. Turn off the oven and remove the power plug from the wall socket before cle-
aning.
2. Keep the inside of the oven clean. When food splatters or spilled liquids adhere
to oven walls, wipe with a damp cloth. Mild detergent may be used if the oven
gets very dirty. Avoid the use of spray and other harsh cleaners as they may stain,
streak or dull the door surface.
3. The outside surfaces should be cleaned with a damp cloth. To prevent damage
to the operating parts inside the oven, water should not be allowed to seep into
the ventilation openings.
4. Wipe the door and window on both sides, the door seals and adjacent parts
frequently with a damp cloth to remove any spills or spatters. Do not use abrasive
cleaner.
5. Do not allow the control panel to become wet. Clean with a soft, damp cloth.
When cleaning the control panel, leave oven door open to prevent oven from
accidentally turning on.
6. 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 condition. And it is normal.
7. It is occasionally necessary to remove the glass tray for cleaning. Wash the
tray in warm sudsy water or in a dishwasher.
8. The roller ring and oven oor should be cleaned regularly to avoid excessive
noise. Simply wipe the bottom surface of the oven with mild detergent. The roller
ring may be washed in mild sudsy water or dishwasher. When removing the roller
ring from cavity oor for cleaning, be sure to replace in the proper position.
9. Remove odors from your oven by combining a cup of water with the juice and
skin of one lemon in a deep microwaveable bowl, microwave for 5 minutes. Wipe
thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth.
10. When it becomes necessary to replace the oven light, please consult a dealer
to have it replaced.
11. The oven should be cleaned regularly and any food deposits removed. Failure
to maintain the oven in a clean condition could lead to deterioration of the surface

dous.
12. Please do not dispose this appliance into the domestic rubbish bin; it should
be disposed to the particular disposal center provided by the municipalities.
