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 an
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 clear. If all vents are covered during operation, the oven may overheat and,
eventually leads to 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, 230V 50Hz.
• 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. NEC is not
responsible for damage resulting from use of this oven with a voltage of ampere fuse other than those
specified.
• If the power supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by an NEC authorised service technician 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 reach 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-prong 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.
WARNING: This appliance must be earthed.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING : To prevent fire, burns, electric shock and other problems:
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
non food 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 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.
10. 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.
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, check the oven frequently due to the possibility of ignition.
13. The contents of feeding bottles and baby food jars are to be stirred or shaken and the temperature is to be
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.
16. Keep the spatter shield 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 has to be taken when
handling the container.
- The appliance is not intended for use by young children or infirm persons without supervision;
- Young children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance

15
COOKWARE
Cookware should be checked to ensure that it is 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 is suggested cookware 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 dinnerware 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 ovens.
CARE AND CLEANING
Although your oven is provided with safety features, it is important to observe the following:
1. It is important not to override 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 and cause injury and also damage to the door. Do not
operate the oven if it is damaged, until it has been repaired by a trained 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. Keep the unit clean of food spillage to prevent vermin infestation.
5. The oven should not be adjusted or repaired by anyone except an NEC authorised service centre.

touched.
