IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
SAVE THESE 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:
11.
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.
12. Do not use the oven when empty, this could
damage the oven.
13. Do not use the oven cavity for any type of storage,
such as papers, cookbook, cookware, etc.
14. Do not operate the oven without the glass tray in
place. Be sure it is properly sitting on the rotating
base.
15. Make sure you remove caps or lids prior to
cooking when you cook food sealed in bottles.
16. Do not put foreign material between the oven
surface and door. It could result in excessive
leakage of microwave energy.
17. Do not use recycled paper products for cooking.
They may contain impurities which could cause
sparks and/or fires when used during cooking.
18. 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.
19. 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.
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.

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 black. 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
76mm of space between oven sides, rear and the
minimum height of free space necessary above the
top surface of the oven is 100mm.

CARE OF YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN
Turn the oven off before cleaning.
Keep the inside of the oven clean. When food
spatters or spilled liquids adhere to oven walls,
wipe with a damp cloth. Mild detergent may be
used if the oven gets very dirty. The use of harsh
detergent or abrasives is not recommended.
The outside oven surface should be cleaned with
soap and water, rinsed and dried with a soft cloth.
To prevent damage to the operating parts inside
the oven, water should not be allowed to seep into
the ventilation openings.
If the Control Panel becomes wet, clean with a
soft, dry cloth. Do not use harsh detergents or
abrasives on Control Panel.
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 conditions and in no way indicates
malfunction of the unit.
It is occasionally necessary to remove the glass
tray for cleaning. Wash the tray in warm sudsy
water or in a dishwasher.
The roller guide and oven cavity floor should be
cleaned regularly to avoid excessive noise.
Simply wipe the bottom surface of the oven with mild

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
* Q :I accidentally ran my microwave oven
without any food in it. Is it damaged?
* A :Running the oven empty for a short time will
not damage the oven. However, it is not
recommended.
* Q :Can the oven be used with the glass tray
or roller guide removed?
* A :No. Both the glass tray and roller guide must
always be used in the oven before cooking.
* Q :Can I open the door when the oven is
operating?
* A :The door can be opened anytime during the
cooking operation. Then microwave energy
will be instantly switched off and the time
setting will maintain until the door is closed.
* Q :Why do I have moisture in my microwave
oven after cooking?
* A :The moisture on the side of your microwave
oven is normal. It is caused by steam from
cooking food hitting the cool oven surface.
* Q :Does microwave energy pass through the
viewing screen in the door?
* A :No. The metal screen bounces back the
energy to the oven cavity. The holes are
made to allow light to pass through. They do
not let microwave energy pass through.
* Q :Why do eggs sometimes pop?
* A : When baking or poaching eggs, the yolk
may pop due to steam build-up inside the
yolk membrane. To prevent this, simply
pierce the yolk with a toothpick before
cooking. Never cook eggs without piercing
their shells.
* Q :Why this standing time recommended
after the cooking operation has been
completed?
* A : Standing time is very important.
With microwave cooking, the heat is in the
food, not in the oven. Many foods build up
enough internal heat to allow the cooking
process to continue, even after the food is
removed from the oven. Standing time for
joints of meat, large vegetables and cakes is
to allow the inside to cook completely,
without overcooking the outside.
* Q :What does “standing time” mean?
* A :“Standing time” means that food should be
removed from the oven and covered for
additional time to allow it to finish cooking.
This frees the oven for other cooking.
* Q :Why does my oven not always cook as
fast as the microwave cooking guide
says?
* A : Check your cooking guide again, to make
sure you’ve followed directions exactly ; and
to see what might cause variations in
cooking time. Cooking guide times and heat
settings are suggestions, to help prevent
over-cooking... the most common problem in
getting used to a microwave oven.
Variations in the size, shape and weights
and dimensions could require longer cooking
time. Use your own judgement along with
the cooking guide suggestions to check
whether the food has been properly cooked
just as you would do with a conventional
cooker.
* Q :Will the microwave oven be damaged if it
operates while empty?
* A : Yes. Never run it empty.
* Q : Can I operate my microwave oven
without the turntable or turn the turntable
over to hold a large dish?
* A : No. If you remove or turn over the turntable,
you will get poor cooking results. Dishes
used in your oven must fit on the turntable.
* Q : Is it normal for the turntable to turn in
either direction?
* A : Yes. The turntable rotates clockwise or
counterclockwise, depending on the rotation
of the motor when the cooking cycle begins.
* Q : Can I pop popcorn in my microwave
oven? How do I get the best results?
* A :Yes. Pop packaged microwave popcorn
following manufacture’s guidelines. Do not
use regular paper bags. Use the “listening
test” by stopping the oven as soon as the
popping slows to a “pop” every 1 or 2
seconds. Do not repop unpopped kernels.
Do not pop popcorn in glass cookware.

BEFORE YOU CALL FOR SERVICE
Refer to following checklist, you may prevent an unnecessary service call.
* The oven doesn’t work :
1. Check that the power cord is securely plugged in.
2. Check that the door is firmly closed.
3. Check that the cooking time is set.
4. Check for a blown circuit fuse or tripped main circuit
breaker in your house.
* Sparking in the cavity :

face and the door or allow residue to accumulate
on sealing surfaces. Wipe the sealing area
frequently with a mild detergent, rinse and dry.
Never use abrasive powders or pads.
3. When opened, the door must not be subjected to
strain, for example, a child hanging on an opened
door or any load could cause the oven to fall
forward to cause injury and also damage to the
door. Do not operate the oven if it is damaged, until
it has been repaired by a competent service
technician. It is particularly important that the oven
closes properly and that there is no damage to the:
i) Door(bent)
ii) Hinges and Hookes(broken or loosened)
iii) Door seals and sealing surfaces.
4. The oven should not be adjusted or repaired by
anyone except a properly competent service
technician.
