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.
INSTALLATION
1 Steady, flat location
This oven should be set on a steady, flat surface. This oven is designed for counter top use only.
2 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.
3 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.
4 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.
5 Power supply
• Check your local power source. This oven requires a current of approximately 6 amperes, 220V 60Hz.
• Power supply cord is about 0.8 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.
6 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.
7 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.
8 The minimum height of free space necessary above the top surface of the oven is 100mm.
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 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:
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.
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.Microwave heating of beverages can result
in delayed eruptive boiling, therefore care
must be taken when handling the container.

COOKING UTENSILS
Only use utensils that are suitable for use in microwave ovens.
Microwave energy is produced by high frequency radio waves. They are reflected from
metal, but will pass through most cooking utensils without heating them.
As the waves come into contact with the food, they are converted into heat energy. Listed
below are the suggested cooking utensils for this microwave oven and when to use them.
1. Dishes with metal trim of any type-should not be used. This will cause sparking.
2. Glass or ceramic heat proof dishes-excellent for microwave cooking.
3. China dishes and plates-without metal trim may be used to cook and heat individual portions of food.
4. Wood or straw-use only for short period, wood contains some moisture and the microwave energy may
cause the wood to dry out and crack.
5. Aluminum foil-may be used in very small pieces for shielding only.
Any aluminum foil used should never be closer than 2.5cm from side walls of oven.
6. Plastic-most heat resistant plastic dinnerwave may be used for heating food. However polyethylene,
melamine, phenol are unsuitable for use in the oven. They become hot in the microwave.
7. Wax paper-use as a cover to avoid spatters.
8. Metal-in general, metal utensils should not be used in microwave oven.
CARE AND CLEANING
Although your oven is provided with safety features, it is important to observe the following:
1.It is important not to defeat or tamper with safety interlocks.
2.Do not place any object between the oven front 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.
5.The oven should be cleaned regularly and any food deposits removed;
6.Failure to maintain the oven in a clean condition could lead to deterioration of the surface that could
adversely affect the life of the appliance and possibly result in a hazardous situation.

16
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.
