PLEASE READ BEFORE USING!
(To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, injury or exposure
to Mircowave energy)
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
•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.
•Manufacturer declines all responsibility for any damage due to non-
grounding of appliance.
•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.
•DO NOT USE IF THE SUPPLY CORD IS DAMAGED OR IF IT HAS BEEN
IMMERSED IN WATER.
•DO NOT USE IF THE OVEN HAS BEEN DAMAGED OR DROPPED.
•KEEP CORD AWAY FROM HEAT SOURCES.
•DON’T LET THE CORD HANG OVER THE EDGE OF TABLE.
•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.
•NEVER TRY TO DISASSEMBLE OR REPAIR YOUR MICROWAVE – IT RETAINS A
HIGH POWER VOLTAGE CHARGE EVEN WHEN UNPLUGGED!

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:

o
ONCE 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 (15.6 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.
o
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.
o UNLESS YOU ARE INSTALLING YOUR MICROWAVE IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS ON PAGE 10. DO 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.
