PLEASE READ BEFORE USING!
(To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, injury or exposure
to Mircowave energy)
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
•1 NOTE - This appliance must be grounded. In the event of a
malfunction or breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk of electric
shock by providing a path of least resistance of electrical current. You
will be able to tell if it is because a non-grounded appliance will give
off an electrical discharge. Your Microwave’s plug must have a
grounding pin and if you use an extension cord, this must have a 3-pin
inlet/outlet as well as carry the same rating or greater than your
microwave. Only connect to a properly grounded outlet.
•2 Manufacturer declines all responsibility for any damage due to non-
grounding of appliance.
•3 DURING THE GUARANTEE PERIOD ONLY BAUMATIC SERVICE ENGINEERS OR
AN AUTHORISED AGENT OF BAUMATIC SHOULD CARRY OUT REPAIRS ON
THIS UNIT. THEREAFTER, IT SHOULD BE SERVICED ONLY BY QUALIFIED
TECHNICIANS.
•4 DO NOT USE IF THE SUPPLY CORD IS DAMAGED OR IF IT HAS BEEN
IMMERSED IN WATER.
•5 DO NOT USE IF THE OVEN HAS BEEN DAMAGED OR DROPPED.
•6 KEEP CORD AWAY FROM HEAT SOURCES.
•7 DON’T LET THE CORD HANG OVER THE EDGE OF TABLE.
•8 DO NOT USE YOUR MICROWAVE OUTDOORS OR NEAR A KITCHEN SINK,
SWIMMING POOL, IN A WET BASEMENT OR ANYWHERE CLOSE TO A SOURCE
OF WATER.
•9 NEVER TRY TO DISASSEMBLE OR REPAIR YOUR MICROWAVE – IT RETAINS A
HIGH POWER VOLTAGE CHARGE EVEN WHEN UNPLUGGED!

GENERAL SAFETY
•READ AND FOLLOW THE
“PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID
POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO
EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE
ENERGY” (Page 6).
•AS WITH MOST COOKING
APPLIANCES, CLOSE
SUPERVISION IS NEEDED TO
REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE IN
YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN.
•SHOULD A FIRE START:
1) KEEP THE OVEN DOOR CLOSED.
2) TURN THE OVEN OFF & UNPLUG
THE APPLIANCE.
3) DISCONNECT THE POWER AT THE
FUSE OR CIRCUIT BREAKER
PANEL.
•ONLY EVER USE YOUR
MICROWAVE FOR ITS
INTENDED USE (HEATING
FOODS) AND NEVER FOR
INDUSTRIAL OR LABORATORY
PURPOSES.
•COOKING UTENSILS & DISHES
WILL BE HOT WHEN YOU TAKE
THEM OUT AFTER COOKING –
HANDLE WITH CARE!
•NEVER USE CORROSIVE
CHEMICALS OR VAPOURS IN
YOUR MICROWAVE. WHEN
YOU CLEAN THE DOOR AND
OVEN SURFACES, USE ONLY
MILD, NONABRAISIVE SOAPS
OR DETERGENTS APPLIED
WITH A SPONGE OR SOFT
CLOTH.
•DO NOT COVER OR BLOCK ANY
VENTS ON THE OVEN.
•ONLY PLACE YOUR OVEN ON A
FLAT, LEVEL SURFACE.
•DON’T LET CHILDREN PLAY
WITH YOUR MICROWAVE.
•MAKE SURE YOU READ THE
SECTION ON INSTALLING YOUR
MICROWAVE PROPERLY (Page
9).
•MAKE SURE YOU READ THE
SECTION ON COOKING FOODS
IN YOUR OVEN. THERE ARE
SOME ITEMS WHICH SHOULD
NOT BE HEATED IN YOUR
MICROWAVE (Page 13) AND
THINGS YOU MUST NEVER USE
YOUR MICROWAVE FOR (Page
7).

AVOIDING POSSIBLE EXPOSURE
TO EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY
IMPORTANT NOTES ABOUT MICROWAVE ENERGY – READING THESE PRECAUTIONS
WILL HELP YOU TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO MICROWAVE ENERGY
NEVER ATTEMPT
TO USE YOUR
OVEN WITH THE
DOOR OPEN. THE
DOOR MUST BE
FULLY CLOSED
EVERY TIME YOU
OPERATE YOUR
OVEN OTHERWISE
YOU RISK
EXPOSING
YOURSELF AND
OTHERS TO
HARMFUL
MICROWAVE
ENERGY.
YOUR MICROWAVE
IS FITTED WITH
SAFETY
INTERLOCKS. IT
IS VERY
IMPORTANT THAT
THESE ARE NEVER
TAMPERED WITH!
DO NOT PLACE
ANY OBJECT
BETWEEN THE
OVEN’S DOOR AND
THE DOORWAY
(FRONT FACE).
NEVER ALLOW
DIRT, FOOD OR
CLEANER RESIDUE
TO ACCUMULATE
ON THE SEALING
SURFACES
BETWEEN THE
INSIDE OF THE
DOOR AND THE
PART OF THE
DOORWAY WHERE
IT MEETS.
YOUR MICROWAVE
HAS SEVERAL
BUILT-IN SAFETY
SWITCHES TO
ENSURE THE
POWER REMAINS
OFF WHEN THE
DOOR IS OPEN.
NEVER TAMPER
WITH THESE
SWITCHES.
NEVER TRY TO
OPERATE A
DAMAGED
MICROWAVE
OVEN. APART
FROM MAKING
SURE THAT THE
OVEN DOOR CAN
CLOSE PROPERLY,
YOU NEED TO
ALSO CHECK THAT
THERE IS NO
DAMAGE TO THE:
1) DOOR (EG.
DENTED)
2) HINGES &
LATCHES (BROKEN
OR LOOSENED)
3) DOOR SEALS &
SEALING
SURFACES

SERVICE
TECHNICIAN.
NEVER USE THE
INTERIOR OF YOUR
MICROWAVE OVEN
FOR STORAGE
PURPOSES. NEVER
STORE COMBUSTIBLE
ITEMS SUCH AS
BREAD, COOKIES,
PAPER PRODUCTS,
ETC. INSIDE THE
OVEN TO FACILITATE
COOKING.
ACCIDENTAL
OPERATION CAN
CAUSE THESE ITEMS
TO GO ON FIRE AND
DO DAMAGE TO YOUR
MICROWAVE,
THEREBY PUTTING
YOU AT RISK IF YOU
USE IT WHILE IT IS
DAMAGED.

A note on the type of energy used
by your Microwave Oven
Microwaves are electromagnetic waves that transmit energy. When cooking,
the microwave energy penetrates food to a depth of 4cm (1½ inches),
causing its molecules to vibrate. The heat produced by this friction
enables food to be heated, cooked or defrosted.
How quickly a microwave oven cooks will depend on the size, quality and
shape of the food being cooked. Microwave cooking is healthy in that,
without the need for large amounts of cooking liquid, it means that food
retains vitamins, nutrients, aromas and flavour.
Microwave Ovens are also more energy efficient than conventional cooking
because they use up to 70% less energy.
______________________
Never use your
Microwave Oven to:
Dry clothes or fabrics
Dry or warm up pets or live animals
Warm or heat any item other than food and the
appropriate utensil
Cook sealed containers
Cook items where you have placed a liquid or
mercury thermometer (eg. Inside roasts or turkeys)
Heat large quantities of cooking oil (fondue or deep
frying) or drinks with high alcohol contents
Never Use Your Microwave to:

oONCE YOU ARE SURE THAT YOUR OVEN IS NOT DAMAGED (EG. DENTS
OR A BROKEN DOOR) AND THAT THERE ARE NO PACKING MATERIALS
AND ACCESSORIES INSIDE IT, YOU CAN THEN INSTALL IT ON A FLAT
SURFACE SUCH AS A COUNTERTOP. BE SURE THAT THE SURFACE CAN
HOLD AT LEAST YOUR MICROWAVE’S WEIGHT (14.0 kg).
oBEFORE PLACING ON YOUR COUNTERTOP: REMOVE ANY PROTECTIVE
FILM ON THE CABINET SURFACE.
oBUT DO NOT REMOVE THE LIGHT BROWN MICA COVER THAT IS SCREWED TO
THE OVEN CAVITY TO PROTECT THE MAGNETRON.
oFIND A LEVEL SURFACE THAT PROVIDES ENOUGH OPEN SPACE FOR
THE INTAKE AND OUTLET VENTS.
oYOU NEED TO LEAVE A MINIMUM OF 3.0 INCHES (7.5 CM) BETWEEN
THE OVEN AND ANY ADJACENT WALL. ONE SIDE MUST BE LEFT OPEN
FOR PROPER AIR FLOW.
oLEAVE A MINIMUM CLEARANCE OF 12 INCHES (30CM) ABOVE
THE OVEN.
oDO NOT REMOVE THE LEGS FROM THE BOTTOM OF THE OVEN.
oDON’T LET ANYTHING BLOCK EITHER THE INTAKE OR THE
OUTLET OPENINGS AS THIS CAN DAMAGE THE OVEN.
oPLACE YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN AS FAR AWAY AS POSSIBLE FROM
RADIOS AND TELEVISIONS - YOUR OVEN MAY CAUSE SIGNAL
INTERFERENCE.
oDO NOT PUT YOUR OVEN ON TOP OF ANY OTHER HEAT-
PRODUCING APPLIANCE OR A RANGE COOKTOP.
DOING SO
COULD DAMAGE YOUR OVEN AND MAKE THE WARRANTY VOID.

PLEASE REMEMBER: NOT ALL FOODS AND UTENSILS ARE
SUITABLE for use in MICROWAVE OVENS.
FOODS THAT MUST NEVER BE MICROWAVED:
Eggs in their shell or
whole hard-boiled
eggs since they may
explode, even after
your Microwave has
stopped heating them.
Foods that need
deep-frying: your
Microwave cannot
deep-fry and is
liable to present a
fire hazard if you
attempt to deep fry
with it.
Foods that you intend
to can at home. There
is no way of ensuring
that foods intended for
home canning have
reached the required
boiling temperature.
Narrow-necked
containers like
syrup bottles – the
neck could explode.
Never use your
Microwave when it is
empty. This is a fire
hazard.
Sealed liquids and
food containers –
these will almost
certainly explode –
NEVER PLACE THEM
IN YOUR
MICROWAVE!
_______________________
And please be careful with …
Heating liquids and drinks: when you heat liquid using a
Microwave, part of the liquid can exceed boiling point. Its surface
tension is such that it will be susceptible to upward surges. To avoid
the risk of being scalded, always handle bowls and cups of heated
liquid steadily and carefully. Please read the further advice on
