IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ CAREFULLY AND KEEP FOR FUTURE REFERENCE
WARNING : To prevent fire, burns, electric shock and other
warnings:
Listed below are, as with all appliances, certain rules to follow
and safeguards to assure high performance from this oven:
1. Do not use the oven for any reason
other than food preparation, such as
for drying clothes, paper, or any other
nonfood items or for sterilizing
purposes.
2. Do not use the oven when empty, this
could damage the oven.
3. Do not use the oven cavity for any type
of storage, such as papers, cookbook,
cookware, etc.
4. Do not operate the oven without the
glass tray in place. Be sure it is
properly sitting on the rotating base.
5. Make sure you remove caps or lids
prior to cooking when you cook food
sealed in bottles.
6. Do not put foreign material between
the oven surface and door. It could
result in excessive leakage of
microwave energy.
7. Do not use recycled paper products for
cooking. They may contain impurities
which could cause sparks and/or fires
when used during cooking.
8. Do not pop popcorn unless popped in
a microwave approved popcorn
popper or unless it's commercially
packaged and recommended
especially for microwave ovens.
Microwave popped corn produces a
lower yield than conventional popping;
there will be a number of unpopped
kernels. Do not use oil unless specified
by the manufacturer.
9. Do not cook any food surrounded by a
membrane, such as egg yolks,
potatoes, chicken livers, etc., without
first piercing them several times with a
fork.
10. Do not pop popcorn longer than the
manufacturer's directions. (popping
time is generally below 3 minutes).
Longer cooking does not yield more
popped corn, it can cause scorchings
and fire.
Also, the cooking tray can become too
hot to handle or may break.
11. If smoke is observed, switch off or
unplug the appliance and keep the
door closed in order to stifle any
flames.
12. When heating food in plastic or paper
containers, keep an eye on the oven
due to the possibility of ignition.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
13. The contents of feeding bottles and
baby food jars shall be stirred or
shaken and the temperature
checked before consumption, in
order to avoid burns.
14. Always test the temperature of food
or drink which has been heated in a
microwave oven before you give it to
somebody, especially to children or
elderly people. This is important
because things which have been
heated in a microwave oven carry on
getting hotter even though the
microwave oven cooking has
stopped.
15. 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;
16. Keep the waveguide cover clean at
all times. Wipe the oven interior with
a soft damp cloth after each use. If
you leave grease or fat anywhere in
the cavity it may overheat, smoke or
even catch fire when next using the
oven.
17. Never heat oil or fat for deep frying
as you cannot control the
temperature and doing so may lead
to overheating and fire.
18. Liquids, such as water, coffee, or tea
are able to be overheated beyond
the boiling point without appearing to
be boiling due to surface tension of
the liquid. Visible bubbling or boiling
when the container is removed from
the microwave oven is not always
present. THIS COULD RESULT IN
VERY HOT LIQUIDS SUDDENLY
BOILING OVER WHEN A SPOON
OR OTHER UTENSIL IS
INSERTED INTO THE LIQUID.
To reduce the risk of injury to
persons:
a) Do not overheat the liquid.
b) Stir the liquid both before and
halfway through heating it
c) Do not use straight-sided
containers with narrow necks.
d) After heating, allow the container
to stand in the microwave oven for
a short time before removing the
container.
e) Use extreme care when inserting
a spoon or other utensil into the
container.
19. Children should be supervised to
ensure that they do not play with the
appliance.
20. Only use utensils that are suitable for
use in microwave ovens.
21. Microwave heating of beverages can
result in delayed eruptive boiling,
therefore care must be taken when
handling the container.

EARTHING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be earthed. In the event of an
electrical short circuit, earthing reduces the risk of
electric shock by providing an escape wire for the
electric current. This appliance is equipped with a
cord having a earthing wire with a earthing plug.
The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is
properly installed and earthed.
WARNING : Improper use of the earthing plug can
result in a risk of electric shock. Consult a qualified
electrician or serviceman if the earthing instructions
are not completely understood, or if doubt exists as
to whether the appliance is properly earthed.
If it is necessary to use an extension cord, use only a
3-wire extension cord that has a 3-blade earthing
plug, and a 3-slot receptacle that will accept the plug
on the appliance. The marked rating of the extension
cord should be equal to or greater than the electrical
rating of the appliance.
IMPORTANT
The wires in this mains lead fitted to this appliance
are colored in accordance with the following code.
Green-and-yellow : Earth
Blue : Neutral
Brown : Live
As the colors of the wires in the mains lead of this
appliance may not correspond with the colored
markings identifying the terminals in your plug,
proceed as follows : the wire which is colored green-
and-yellow must be connected to the terminal in the
plug which is marked with the letter ‘E’ or by the
earth symbol or green-and-yellow. The wire which is
colored blue must be connected to the terminal
which is marked with the letter ‘N’ or colored white.
The wire which is colored brown must be connected
to the terminal which is marked with the letter ‘L’ or
colored red.
WARNING : The appliance must be earthed.
INSTALLATION
1. Ventilation
Do not block air vents. If they are blocked during
operation, the oven may overheat and eventually
cause a failure. For proper ventilation, allow above
