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.
WARN ING 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 colored in accordance
with the following code:
Green and Yellow = EARTH
Blue = NEUTRAL
Brown = LIVE

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.
5. Plug the microwave oven into a different outlet
so that microwave oven and receiver are on
different branch circuits.

7. To reduce the risk of fire in the oven cavity:
a. When heating food in plastic or paper
container, check the oven frequently to the
possibility of ignition.
b. Remove wire twist-ties from paper or plastic
bags before placing bag in oven.
c. If smoke is observed, switch off or unplug
the appliance and keep the door closed in order
to stifle any flames.
d. Do not use the cavity for storage purposes.
Do not leave paper products, cooking utensils or
food in the cavity when not in use.
8. WARNING: Liquid or other food must not be
heated in sealed containers since they are liable
to explode.
9. Microwave heating of beverage can result in
delayed eruptive boiling, therefore care has to be
taken when handle the container.
10. Do not fry food in the oven. Hot oil can damage
oven parts and utensils and even result in skin
burns.
11. 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.
12. Pierce foods with heavy skins such as potatoes,
whole squashes, apples and chestnuts before
cooking.
13. The contents of feeding bottles and baby jars
should be stirred or shaken and the temperature
should be checked before serving in order to
avoid burns.
14. Cooking utensils may become hot because of
heat transferred from the heated food.
Potholders may be needed to handle the utensil.
15. Utensils should be checked to ensure that they
are suitable for use in microwave oven.

exposure to microwave energy.
17. This product is a Group 2 Class B ISM
equipment. The definition of Group 2 which
contains all ISM (Industrial, Scientific and
Medical) equipment in which radio-frequency
energy is intentionally generated and/or used in
the form of electromagnetic radiation for the
treatment of material, and spark erosion
equipment. For Class B equipment is
equipment suitable for use in domestic
establishments and in establishments directly
connected to a low voltage power supply network
which supplies buildings used for domestic
purpose.
18. 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.
19. Children should be supervised to ensure that
they do not play with the appliance.
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 microwaving 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.

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 can not 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 aluminum 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 (2.54cm) between foil and cavity.
The list below is a general guide to help you select the
correct utensils.

1. Turn off the oven and remove the power plug from the wall socket before cleaning.
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 floor 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 floor 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 that could adversely affect the
life of the appliance and possibly result in a hazardous situation.
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.
13. When the microwave oven with grill function is first used, it may produce slight smoke and smell.
This is a normal phenomenon, because the oven is made of a steel plate coated with lubricating
oil, and the new oven will produce fumes and odor generated by burning the lubricating oil. This
phenomenon will disappear after a period of using.
