IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
The following basic precautions should always be followed when using this
electrical appliance:
• Carefully read all instructions before operating and save for future
reference.
• This appliance is for normal domestic use only.
• Make sure the voltage in the intended location corresponds to the one
shown on the rating label of the appliance.
• To reduce the risk of re in the microwave cavity ensure the following:
- Do not cook the food for longer than recommended.
- Remove wire twist-ties before placing bags in the microwave.
- Do not heat oil or fat for deep frying as the temperature of the oil
cannot be controlled.
- After use wipe the waveguide cover with a damp cloth, followed by
a dry cloth to remove any food splashes and grease. Built-up grease
may overheat and begin to cause smoke or catch re.
- If materials inside the microwave should smoke or ignite, keep the
microwave door closed, turn the microwave off at the wall socket
and disconnect the plug from the wall socket.
- When heating food in plastic containers, do not leave unattended
due to the possibility of ignition.
• To reduce the risk of explosion and sudden boiling:
Liquids and other foods must not be heated in sealed containers
since they are liable to explode; baby bottles tted
with a screw cap or teat are considered to be sealed containers.
- Use a wide-mouthed container to cook liquids and ensure the
cooked liquid is allowed to stand and is not removed immediately-
This is to avoid possible hazards such as explosion caused by delayed
boiling of liquids.
- Potatoes, sausages and chestnuts should be peeled or pierced before
cooking. Eggs in their shell should not be heated in microwaves since
they may explode, even after microwave heating has ended.

4
- The contents of feeding bottles and baby food jars should be stirred
or shaken and the temperature should be checked before
consumption, in order to avoid burns from uneven heating.
• If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced before further use
by the manufacturer, a service agent or a qualied electrician in order
to avoid a hazard.
• After cooking, the container will be very hot. Use sufcient protection
such as gloves to remove the food and avoid steam burns by directing
steam away from the face and hands.
• Slowly lift the furthest edge of dish covers and microwave plastic wrap
and carefully open popcorn and microwave cooking bags away from
the face to avoid risk of burns from escaping steam.
• To prevent the turntable from breaking:
- Let the turntable cool down before cleaning.
- Do not place hot foods or containers on the cold turntable.
- Do not place frozen foods or containers on the hot turntable.
• Make sure the containers do not touch the interior walls during
cooking.
• Only use containers that are marked as “microwave safe”.
• Do not store food or any other object inside the microwave.
• Do not operate the microwave without any liquid or food inside the
microwave.This could damage the microwave.
• Any accessories not recommended by the manufacturer may cause
injuries.
• Do not use outdoors.
• Retain these instructions for future reference.
If the door or door seals are damaged or the microwave has
malfunctioned, the microwave must not be operated until it has been
repaired by a qualied electrician.
WARNING: It is hazardous for anyone other than a qualied
electrician to carry out any service or repair operation that involves
the removal of a cover which gives protection against exposure to
microwave energy.
• If smoke is emitted, switch off and then unplug the appliance and keep
the door closed in order to contain any ames.

5
• Microwave heating of beverages can result in delayed boiling and the
possibility of overowing; therefore care must be taken when handling
the container.
• Do not use harsh abrasive cleaners or sharp metal scrapers to clean
the microwave door glass since they can scratch the surface, which
may result in shattering of the glass.
• The lamp of the microwave oven is not intended for other purposes.
• The appliances are not intended to be operated by means of an
external timer or separate remote -control system.
• This microwave oven is intended for heating food and beverages.
Drying of food or clothing and heating of warming pads, slippers, sponges,
damp cloth and similar may lead to risk of injury, ignition or re.
• This appliance should only be used by adults.
• Children shall not play with the appliance.
• Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be made by children.
• Keep the appliance and its cord out of reach of children.
• This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children)

INSTALLATION

8
Plug the plug into the wall socket- Before connecting the cord, make sure the
timer is set to “0” position. Do not block the ventilation outlets.
• Place the food in a container and onto the glass turntable and close the
door.
• Select the desired power level.
• Set the timer:
If desired time is less than 10 minutes then turn the timer knob to the over
10 minutes position and then turn back to the desired time setting.
• Once the desired time is set cooking will begin. If pausing is required whilst
cooking then the door can be opened at any time by pressing the door
release button, this will pause the cooking- Closing the door again will
resume cooking.
• When the timer ends and cooking is nished, the microwave produces a bell
ring and the inside lamp will be automatically turned off.
If desired cooking level is reached and food is therefore removed before
the timer nishes then ensure the timer is reset to the “0” position to avoid
the microwave operating whilst empty when the door is closed again.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
8. As there could be manufacturing residue or oil remaining in the microwave
cavity or on the heating element, it is normal for there to be an odor or
slight smoke upon initial use.This should not occur after the microwave
has been used several times. Keep the door and windows open to ensure
good ventilation. It is strongly recommended to place a cup of water on
the turntable, set the microwave to high power and operate for 2-3 minutes
to reduce the risk of residual odor before cooking food and beverages for
the rst time, repeating several times if necessary.

9
It is strongly recommended to use containers which are marked as microwave safe.
Generally speaking containers which are made of heat-resistant ceramic, glass or plastic
are suitable for microwave cooking. Never use metal containers for microwave cooking
as sparking is likely to occur. Use the below table for reference:

COOKING TIPS
The following factors may affect the cooking result:
Food arrangement
Place thicker areas towards the outside of the dish and the thinner part towards
the centre and spread evenly. Do not overlap if possible.
Cooking time
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 burns.
Cooking food evenly
Food such as chicken, hamburgers or steak should be turned at least once during
cooking.
Depending on the type of food, if applicable remove it and stir it from outside to
centre of dish once or twice during cooking.
Allow standing time
After timer is nished, leave the food in the microwave for an adequate length
of time, this allows it to complete its cooking cycle and begin cooling down in a
gradual manner.
Whether the food is cooked
Color and hardness of food help to determine if it is done, these include:
- Steam coming out from all parts of food, not just the edge
- Joints of poultry can be moved easily
- Pork or poultry shows no signs of blood
- Fish is opaque and can be sliced easily with a fork
Microwave safe plastic wrap
When cooking food with high fat content, do not allow the plastic wrap to come
into contact with food as it may melt.
Microwave safe plastic cookware
Some microwave safe plastic cookware might not be suitable for cooking foods
with high fat and sugar content. The preheating time specied in the cooking
instructions of each food/beverage must not be exceeded.
