such as misaligned or bent door, damaged
door seals and sealing surface, broken or
loose door hinges and latches and dents
inside the cavity or on the door. If there is any
damage, do not operate the oven and contact
NEC Service Centre.
3 This microwave oven must be placed on a flat,
stable surface to hold its weight and the
heaviest food likely to be cooked in the oven.
4 Do not place the oven where heat, moisture,
or high humidity are generated, or near
combustible materials.
5 For correct operation, the oven must have
sufficient airflow. Allow 20cm of space above
the oven, 10cm at back and 5cm at both sides.
Do not cover or block any openings on the
appliance. Do not remove feet.

8 The socket must be readily accessible so that
it can be easily unplugged in an emergency.
9 Do not use the oven outdoors.
This appliance must be grounded. This oven is
equipped with a cord having a grounding wire with
a grounding plug. It must be plugged into a wall
receptacle that is properly installed and grounded.
In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding
reduces risk of electric shock by providing an
escape wire for the electric current. It is
recommended that a separate circuit serving only
the oven be provided. Using a high voltage is
dangerous and may result in a fire or other accident
causing oven damage.
WARNING Improper use of the grounding plug can
result in a risk of electric shock.
Note
1 If you have any questions about the grounding
or electrical instructions, consult a qualified
electrician or service person.
2 Neither the manufacturer nor the dealer can
accept any liability for damage to the oven or
personal injury resulting from failure to
observe the electrical connection procedures.
The wires in this cable main are colored in
accordance with the following code:
Green and Yellow = EARTH
Blue = NEUTRAL
Brown = LIVE
Operation of the microwave oven can cause
interference to your radio, TV, or similar equipment.
When there is interference, it may be reduced or
eliminated by taking the following measures:
1 Clean door and sealing surface of the oven.
2 Reorient the receiving antenna of radio or
television.
3 Relocate the microwave oven with respect to
the receiver.
4 Move the microwave oven away from the
receiver.
5 Plug the microwave oven into a different outlet
so that microwave oven and receiver are on
different branch circuits.
When using electrical appliance basic safety
precautions should be followed, including the
following:
WARNING: To reduce the risk of burns, electric shock,
fire, injury to persons or exposure to excessive
microwave energy:
1 Read all instructions before using the appliance.
2 Use this appliance only for its intended use as
described in this manual. Do not use corrosive
chemicals or vapors in this appliance. This type
of oven is specifically designed to heat, cook or
dry food. It is not designed for industrial or
laboratory use.
3 Do not operate the oven when empty.

during use.
To avoid busrns young children should be kept
away.
7WARNING: Accessible parts may become hot
8WARNING
heated in sealed containers since they are liable
: Liquid or other food must not be
to explode.
9 Microwave heating of beverage can result in
delayed eruptive boiling, therefore care has to
be taken when handling the container.
10 Do not fry food in the oven. Hot oil can damage
oven parts and utensils and even result in skin
burns.
11 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.
12 Pierce foods with heavy skins such as potatoes,
whole squashes, apples and chestnuts before
cooking.
13 The contents of feeding bottles and baby jars
should be stirred or shaken and the temperature
should be checked before serving in order to
avoid burns.
14 Cooking utensils may become hot because of
heat transferred from the heated food.
Potholders may be needed to handle the utensil.
15 Utensils should be checked to ensure that they
are suitable for use in microwave oven.
16 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. It is not
recommended for use in an environment where
excessive vibration could be experienced,
especially on the caravan.
17 This product is a Group 2 Class B ISM
equipment. The definition of Group 2 which
contains all ISM (Industrial, Scientific and
Medical) equipment in which radio-frequency
energy is intentionally generated and/or used in
the form of electromagnetic radiation for the
treatment of material, and spark erosion
equipment. For Class B equipment is
equipment suitable for use in domestic
establishments and in establishments directly
connected to a low voltage power supply
network which supplies buildings used for
domestic purpose.
18 This appliance is not intended for use by
persons (including children) with reduced
physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack
of experience and knowledge, unless they have
been given supervision or instruction concerning
use of the appliance by a person responsible for
their safety.
19 Children should be supervised to ensure that
they do not play with the appliance.
1 Arrange food carefully. Place thickest areas
towards outside of dish.
2 Watch cooking time. Cook for the shortest
amount of time indicated and add more as
needed. Food severely overcooked can
smoke or ignite.
3 Cover foods while cooking. Covers prevent
spattering and help foods to cook evenly.
4 Turn foods over once during microwaving to
speed cooking of such foods as chicken

and hamburgers. Large items like roasts
must be turned over at least once.
5 Rearrange foods such as meatballs halfway
through cooking both from top to bottom
and from the center of the dish to the
outside
1 The ideal material for a microwave utensil is
transparent to microwave, it allows energy
to pass through the container and heat the
food.
2 Microwave can not penetrate metal, so
metal utensils or dishes with metallic trim
should not be used.
3 Do not use recycled paper products when
microwave cooking, as they may contain
small metal fragments which may cause
sparks and/or fires.
4 Round /oval dishes rather than
square/oblong ones are recommend, as
food in corners tends to overcook.
5 Narrow strips of aluminum foil may be used
to prevent overcooking of exposed areas.
But be careful don’t use too much and keep
a distance of 1 inch (2.54cm) between foil
and cavity.

wipe with a damp cloth. Mild detergent may be used if the oven gets very dirty. Avoid the use of
spray and other harsh cleaners as they may stain, streak or dull the door surface.
3. The outside surfaces should be cleaned with a damp cloth. To prevent damage to the operating
parts inside the oven, water should not be allowed to seep into the ventilation openings.
4. Wipe the door and window on both sides, the door seals and adjacent parts frequently with a
damp cloth to remove any spills or spatters. Do not use abrasive cleaner.
5. Do not allow the control panel to become wet. Clean with a soft, damp cloth. When cleaning the
control panel, leave oven door open to prevent oven from accidentally turning on.
6. If steam accumulates inside or around the outside of the oven door, wipe with a soft cloth. This
may occur when the microwave oven is operated under high humidity condition. And it is normal.
7. It is occasionally necessary to remove the glass tray for cleaning. Wash the tray in warm sudsy
water or in a dishwasher.
8. The roller ring and oven floor should be cleaned regularly to avoid excessive noise. Simply wipe
