PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE
TO EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY
(a) 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 defeat or tamper
with the safety interlocks.
(b) Do not place any object between the oven front face and the door or allow soil or
cleaner residue to accumulate on sealing surfaces.
(c) WARNING : If the door or door seals are damaged, the oven must not be operated until
it has been repaired by a trained person : (1) door (bent), (2) hinges and
latches(broken or loosened), (3) door seals and sealing surfaces.
(d) WARNING : It is hazardous for anyone other than a trained person to carry out any
service or repair operation which involves the removal of any cover which gives
protection against exposure to microwave energy.
(e) WARNING : Liquids or other foods must not be heated in sealed containers since they
are liable to explode.
(f) WARNING : Only allow children to use the oven without 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.

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.
INSTALLATION
Steady, flat location
This oven should be set on a steady, flat surface. This oven is designed for counter top use only.
Leave space behind and side
All air vents should be kept a clearance. If all vents are covered during operation, the oven may overheat and,
eventually, oven failure.
Away from radio and TV sets
Poor television reception and radio interference may result if the oven is located close to
a TV, Radio antenna, feeder and so on.
Position the oven as far from them as possible.
Away from heating appliance and water taps
Keep the oven away from hot air, steam or splash when choosing a place to position it, or the insulation might
be adversely affected and breakdowns occur.
Power supply
• Check your local power source. This oven requires a current of approximately 11 amperes, 230V 50Hz.
• Power supply cord is about 1.4 meters long.
• The voltage used must be the same as specified on this oven. Using a higher voltage
may result in a fire or other accident causing oven damage. Using low voltage will
cause slow cooking. We are not responsible for damage resulting from use of this
oven with a voltage of ampere fuse other than those specified.
• If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its service
agent or a similarly qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.
Examine the oven after unpacking for any damage such as:
A misaligned door, Broken door, A dent in cavity. If any of the above are visible, DO NOT INSTALL, and notify
dealer immediately.
Do not operate the oven if it is colder than room temperature.
(This may occur during delivery in cold weather.) Allow the oven to become room temperature before operating.
The minimum height of free space necessary above the top surface of the oven is 100mm.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
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
top 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, check
the oven frequently due to the possibility of ignition.
13. The contents of feeding bottles and baby food jars are to
be stirred or shaken and the temperature is to be
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 shall not
be heated in microwave ovens since they may explode.
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. Microwave heating of beverages can result in delayed
eruptive boiling, therefore care has to be taken when
handling the container.
