Important safety instructions: Read carefully & keep
for future reference
To avoid the danger of fire
The microwave oven should not be
left unattended during operation.
Power levels that are too high or
cooking times that are too long may
overheat foods resulting in a fire.
The electrical outlet must be readily
accessible so that the unit can be
unplugged easily in an emergency. Do
not store or use the oven outdoors.
If food being heated begins to
smoke, DO NOT OPEN THE DOOR.
Turn off and unplug the oven and
wait until the food has stopped
smoking. Opening the door while
food is smoking may cause a fire.
Only use microwave-safe
containers and utensils. See page
16.
Do not leave the oven
unattended when using disposable
plastic, paper or other combustible
food containers.
Clean the waveguide cover, the
oven cavity, the turntable and
turntable support after use. These
must be dry and free from grease.
Built-up grease may overheat and
begin to smoke or catch fire.
Do not place flammable materials
near the oven or ventilation openings. Do
not block the ventilation openings.
Remove all metallic seals, wire twists,
etc., from food and food packages. Arcing
on metallic surfaces may cause a fire.
Do not use the microwave oven to
heat oil for deep frying. The temperature
cannot be controlled and the oil may
catch fire.
To make popcorn, only use special
microwave popcorn makers.
Do not store food or any other items
inside the oven.
Check the settings after you start the
oven to ensure the oven is operating as
desired.
See the corresponding hints in this
operation manual.
To avoid the possibility of injury
Warning: Do not operate the oven if
it is damaged or malfunctioning.
Check the following before use:
a) The door; make sure the door
closes properly and ensure it is
not misaligned or warped.
b) The hinges and door safety
latches; check to make sure they
are not broken or loose.
c) The door seals and sealing
surfaces; ensure that they have
not been damaged.
d) Inside the oven cavity or on the
door; make sure there are no
dents.
e) The power supply cord and plug;
ensure that they are not
damaged.
Never adjust, repair or modify the
oven yourself. It is hazardous for
anyone other than a competent
person to carry out any service or
repair operation which involves the
removal of a cover which gives
protection against exposure to
microwave energy.

To avoid the possibility of explosion
and sudden boiling
Warning: Liquids and other foods
must not be heated in sealed
containers since they are liable to
explode.
Never use sealed containers. Remove
seals and lids before use. Sealed
containers can explode due to a build up
of pressure even after the oven has been
turned off.
Take care when microwaving liquids.
Use a wide-mouthed container to allow
bubbles to escape.
Microwave heating of beverages
can result in delayed eruptive
boiling, therefore care has to be
taken when handling the container.
To prevent sudden eruption of boiling
liquid and possible scalding:
1. Stir liquid prior to heating/reheating.
2. It is advisable to insert a glass rod
or similar utensil into the liquid whilst
reheating.
3. Let liquid stand for at least 20
seconds in the oven at the end of
cooking time to prevent delayed
eruptive boiling.
Do not cook eggs in their shells
and whole hard boiled eggs should
not be heated in microwave ovens
since they may explode even after
microwave cooking has ended. To
cook or reheat eggs which have not
been scrambled or mixed, pierce
the yolks and the whites, or the
eggs may explode. Shell and slice
hard boiled eggs before reheating
them in the microwave oven.
Pierce the skin of such foods as
potatoes, sausages and fruit before
cooking, or they may explode.
Do not operate the oven with the
door open or alter the door safety
latches in any way.
Do not operate the oven if there is an
object between the door seals and
sealing surfaces.
Do not allow grease or dirt to
build up on the door seals and
adjacent parts. Follow instructions
for “Care & cleaning”, page 32.
Failure to maintain the oven in a
clean condition could lead to a
deterioration of the surface that
could adversely affect the life of the
appliance and possibly result in a
hazardous situation.
Individuals with PACEMAKERS
should check with their doctor or the
manufacturer of the pacemaker for
precautions regarding microwave ovens.
To avoid the possibility of electric
shock
Under no circumstances should you
remove the outer cabinet.
Never spill or insert any objects into
the door lock openings or ventilation
openings. In the event of a spill, turn off
and unplug the oven immediately and
call your local Service orce Centre.
Do not immerse the power supply cord
or plug in water or any other liquid. Do not
allow the power supply cord to run over
any hot or sharp surfaces, such as the hot
air vent area at the top rear of the oven.
Do not attempt to replace the oven
lamp yourself or allow anyone who is not
authorised by Service orce to do so. If
the oven lamp fails, please consult your
dealer or contact your local Service
orce Centre.
If the power supply cord of this
appliance is damaged, it must be
replaced with a special cord. The
exchange must be made by an
authorised Service orce technician.

To avoid the possibility of burns
Use pot holders or oven gloves when
removing food from the oven to prevent
burns.
Always open containers, popcorn
makers, oven cooking bags, etc., away
from the face and hands to avoid steam
burns.
To avoid burns, always test food
temperature and stir before serving
and pay special attention to the
temperature of food and drink given
to babies, children or the elderly.
Temperature of the container is not a
true indication of the temperature of the
food or drink; always check the food
temperature.
Always stand back from the oven
door when opening to avoid burns from
escaping steam and heat.
Slice stuffed baked foods after heating
to release steam and avoid burns.
Keep children away from the door to
prevent them burning themselves.
To avoid misuse by children
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 under-
stands the hazards of improper use.
Do not lean or swing on the oven door.
Do not play with the oven or use it as a
toy.Children should be taught all
important safety instructions: use of pot
holders, careful removal of food
coverings; paying special attention to
packaging (e.g. self-heating materials)
designed to make food crisp, as they
may be extra hot.
Other warnings
Never modify the oven in any way.
This oven is for home food
preparation only and may only be
used for cooking food. It is not
suitable for commercial or
laboratory use.
To promote trouble-free use of your
oven and avoid damage
Never operate the oven when it is empty.
When using a browning dish or self-
heating material, always place a heat-
resistant insulator such as a porcelain
plate under it to prevent damage to the
turntable and turntable support due to
heat stress. The preheating time
specified in the dish’s instructions must
not be exceeded.
Do not use metal utensils, which
reflect microwaves and may cause
electrical arcing. Do not put cans in the
oven.
Only use the turntable and the
turntable support designed for this oven.
Do not operate the oven without the
turntable.
To prevent the turntable from breaking:
a) Before cleaning the turntable with
water, leave the turntable to cool.
b) Do not put hot foods or hot utensils
on a cold turntable.
c) Do not put cold foods or cold
utensils on a hot turntable.
Do not place anything on the outer
cabinet during operation.

Note:
If you are unsure how to connect your
oven, please consult an authorised,
qualified electrician.
Neither the manufacturer nor the
dealer can accept any liability for damage
to the oven or personal injury resulting
from failure to observe the correct
electrical connection procedure.
Water vapour or drops may
occasionally form on the oven walls or
around the door seals and sealing
surfaces. This is a normal occurrence
and is not an indication of microwave
leakage or a malfunction.
