If the oven fails to operate:
1. Check to ensure that the oven is plugged in securely. If it is not, remove the plug from the outlet, wait
10 seconds, and plug it in again securely.
2. Check for a blown circuit fuse or a tripped main circuit breaker. If these seem to be operating properly,
test the outlet with another appliance.
3. Check to ensure that the control panel is programmed correctly and the timer is set.
4. Check to ensure that the door is securely closed engaging the door safety lock system. Otherwise, the
microwave energy will not flow into the oven.
IF NONE OF THE ABOVE RECTIFY THE SITUATION, THEN CONTACT A QUALIFIED TECHNICIAN. DO
NOT TRY TO ADJUST OR REPAIR THE OVEN YOURSELF.
1. Make sure that all the packing materials are removed from the inside of the door.
2. WARNING: Check the oven for any damage, 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 qualified service personnel.
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.

or sharp surface.
8. The socket must be readily accessible so that it can be easily unplugged in an emergency.
9. Do not use the oven outdoors.

circuit serving only the oven be provided. The oven is equipped with a 3-prong grounding plug. It must be
plugged into a wall receptacle that is properly installed and grounded.
Extension Cord
If it is necessary to use an extension cord, use only a 3-wire extension cord that has a 3 blade grounding
plug and a 3-slot receptacle that will accept the plug on the microwave oven. The marked rating of the
extension cord shall be equal to or greater than the electrical rating of the appliance.
Notes: 1. If you have any questions about the grounding or electrical instructions, consult a qualified
electrician or service person.
2. Neither Galanz nor the dealer can accept any liability for damage to the oven or personal injury
resulting from failure to observe the electrical connection procedures.
Radio or TV Interference
Should there be any interference caused by the microwave oven to your radio or TV, check that the
microwave oven is on a different circuit, relocated the radio or TV as far away from the oven as feasible or
check position and signal of receiving antenna.

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.
4. Do not operate this appliance if it has a damaged cord or plug, if it is not working properly or if it has
been damaged or dropped. If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or

6. To reduce the risk of fire in the oven cavity:
a. When heating food in plastic or paper container, check the oven frequently to the possibility of
ignition.
b. Remove wire twist-ties from paper or plastic bags before placing bag in oven.
c. If smoke is observed, switch off or unplug the appliance and keep the door closed in order to stifle
any flames.
d. Do not use the cavity for storage purposes. Do not leave paper products, cooking utensils or food
in the cavity when not in use.
7. WARNING: Liquid or other food must not be heated in sealed containers since they are liable to
explode.
8. Microwave heating of beverage can result in delayed eruptive boiling, therefore care has to be taken
when handle the container.
9. Do not fry food in the oven. Hot oil can damage oven parts and utensils and even result in skin burns.
10. 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.
11. Pierce foods with heavy skins such as potatoes, whole squashes, apples and chestnuts before
cooking.
12. 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.
13. Cooking utensils may become hot because of heat transferred from the heated food. Potholders may
be needed to handle the utensil.
14. Utensils should be checked to ensure that they are suitable for use in microwave oven.
15. 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.
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.
The list below is a general guide to help you select the correct utensils.
