are suitable for use in microwave oven.

4
Utensil Test
Fill the utensil (or serving dish) to be tested with
one cup of cold water. Microwave for 90 seconds
at 100% power. If the water becomes warm and the
utensil stays cool, it is safe to use. If the water stays
cool and the utensil becomes very hot, it should not
be used in the microwave.
WARNING
If the door or door seals are damaged, the oven
must not be operated until it has been repaired by a
qualied person.

supervision when adequate instructions have been
given so that the child is able to use the oven in a
safe way and understands the hazards of improper
use.
COMPULSORY WARNING
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced
by the manufacturer or its service agent or similarly
qualied person in order to avoid a hazard.
This product has not been designed for any uses
other than those specied in this booklet.
Save These Instructions
Precautions to Avoid Possible
Exposure to Excessive
Microwave Energy
 Do not attempt to operate this oven with the
door open since open-door operation can result
in harmful exposure to microwave energy. It is
important not to interfere or tamper with the
safety interlocks.
 Do not place any object between the oven front
face and the door or allow soil or cleaner residue
to accumulate on sealing surfaces.
 Do not operate the oven if it is damaged. It is
particularly important that the oven door closes
properly and that there is no damage to the:
1. Door (bent),
2. Hinges and latches (broken or loosened),
3. Door seals and sealing surfaces.
 The oven should not be adjusted or repaired
by anyone except properly qualied service
personnel.
 If moving or transporting microwave, keep
microwave well protected as rough treatment can
cause damage.
Before You Call for Service
If the oven fails to operate:
 Check to ensure that the oven is plugged in
securely to the power outlet. If it is not, remove
the plug from the outlet, wait 10 seconds and
plug it in again securely, and switch on.
 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.
 Check to ensure that the control panel is
programmed correctly and the timer is set.
 Check to ensure that the door is securely closed,
engaging the door safety lock system, otherwise
the microwave energy will not ow into the oven.
IF NONE OF THE ABOVE RECTIFY THE SITUATION
THEN CONTACT A QUALIFIED TECHNICIAN. DO NOT
TRY TO ADJUST OR REPAIR THE OVEN YOURSELF.

Installation
 Make sure that all the packing materials are
removed from the inside of the oven.
Note: It is important not to remove or unscrew
the panel from the inside right hand side of the
microwave oven.
 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 return to the place of purchase.
 This microwave oven must be placed on a at,
stable surface to hold its weight and the heaviest
food likely to be cooked in the oven.
 Do not place the oven where heat, moisture or
high humidity are generated, or near combustible
materials.
 For correct operation, the oven must have
sufcient air ow. 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.
 Do not operate the oven without glass tray, roller
support, and shaft in their proper positions.
 Make sure that the power supply cord is
undamaged and does not run under the oven or
over any hot or sharp surface.
 The socket must be readily accessible so that it
can be easily unplugged in an emergency.
 Do not use the oven outdoors.
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.
WARNING
Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a
risk of electric shock.
Note: If you have any questions about the
grounding or electrical instructions, consult a
qualied electrician or service person.
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. Reorientate 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.
Microwave Cooking Principles
 Arrange food carefully. Place thickest areas
towards outside of dish.
 Watch cooking time. Cook for the shortest
amount of time indicated and add more as
needed. Food severely overcooked can smoke or
ignite.
 Cover foods while cooking. Covers prevent
spattering and help foods to cook evenly.
 Turn foods over once during microwaving to
improve cooking of such foods as chicken and
hamburgers. Large items like roasts must be
turned over at least once.

7
 Rearrange foods such as meatballs halfway
through cooking both from top to bottom and
from the centre of the dish to the outside.
Utensils Guide
 The ideal material for a microwave cooking utensil
is transparent to microwaves as it allows energy
to pass through the container and heat the food.
 Microwaves CANNOT penetrate metal, so metal
utensils or dishes with a metallic trim must not
be used. Use of metal utensils will damage the
microwave oven.
 Do not use recycled paper products when
microwave cooking, as they may contain small
metal fragments which may cause sparks and/or
res.
 Round/oval dishes rather than square/oblong
ones are recommended, as food in corners tends
to overcook.
The list below is a general guide to help you select
the correct utensils.
