1. Remove the packaging and take out the distance limiter from
accessory in microwave oven (some models have een
installed already), unlock the power cord, according to the
specific shape of distance limiter, install y following the given
instruction. The purpose of the distance limiter is to make the
microwave oven to keep a certain distance from the wall.
2. Take out all the packing. Carefully check whether there is
damage to the microwave oven. Such as:
a. the oven cavity is impacted or pressured.
. the door is not flat; the switch is not smooth and flexi le.
c. the metal Insulated mesh on the door is ended or deformed.
d. the power cord is loose.
If it is found a ove, contact your nearest service center
approved.
3. Microwave ovens must e placed under dry and
non-corrosiveness environments, kept away from heat and
humidity, such as gas urner or water tank.
4. To ensure sufficient ventilation, the distance of the ack of
microwave to the wall should e at least 10 cm, the side to the
wall should e at least 5 cm, the free distance a ove the top
surface at least 20 cm. the distance of the microwave to the
ground should e at least 85 cm.
5

. The position of the oven shall e far from the TV, Radio or
antenna to avoid distur ance, the distance at least more than 5
m.
6. The appliance must e positioned so that the plug is
accessi le, and must ensure a good grounding in case leakage,
ground loop can e formed to avoid electric shock.
7. The microwave oven must not e placed in a ca inet. The
microwave oven is intended to e used freestanding.
8. As there is manufacturing residue or oil remained on the
oven cavity or heat element, it usually would smell the odor,
even a slight smoke, It is normal case and would not occur
after several times use, keep the door or window open to
ensure good ventilation. So it is strongly recommended to set
the oven to grill mode and operate dry several times. Operating
dry can only e conducted in the grill mode; it can not e

The following factors may affect the cooking result:
Food arrangement
Place thicker areas towards outside of dish, the thinner part
towards the centre and spread it evenly. Do not overlap if
possi le.
Cooking time length
Start cooking with a short time setting, evaluate it after it times out
and extend it according to the actual need. Over cooking may
result in smoke and urns.
Cooking food evenly
Food such as chicken, ham urger or steak should e turned once
during cooking.
Depending on the type of food, if applica le, stir it from outside to
centre of dish once or twice during cooking
Allow standing time
After cooking times out, leave the food in the oven for an
adequate length of time, this allows it to complete its cooking
cycle and cooling it down in a gradual manner
Whether the food is done
Color and hardness of food help to determine if it is done, these
12

include:
- Steam coming out from all parts of food, not just the edge
- Joints of poultry can e moved easily
- Pork or poultry shows no signs of lood
- Fish is opaque and can e sliced easily with a fork
Browning dish
When using a rowning dish or self-heating container, always
place a heat-resistant insulator such as a porcelain plate under it
to prevent damage to the turnta le and rotating ring.
Microwave safe plastic wrap
When cooking food with high fat content, do not allow the plastic
wrap come into contact with food as it may melt.
Microwave safe plastic cookware
Some microwave safe plastic cookware might not e suita le for
cooking foods with high fat and sugar content. Also, the
preheating time specified in the dish instruction manual must not
e exceeded.
