Radio wave interference
The use of the oven may cause interference to a radio, television or similar receivers.
If interference occurs, it may be limited by the following measures:
1. keeping the door and the surface of the oven seals clean;
2. redirecting the radio or television signal reception antenna;
3. moving the microwave oven further away from the receiver;
4. connecting the microwave oven to a di erent power socket so that the microwave oven and the
receiver do not share the same circuit.
Grounding instructions
This microwave oven must be grounded. The microwave oven is equipped with a power cord, which has a
ground wire with a grounding power plug. The power plug must be connected to a mains socket outlet that
is correctly installed and grounded. This reduces the risk of injury by electric shock if a short circuit occurs – in
such a case the electric current goes through the earthing wire. We recommend that the microwave oven be
connected to an independent electrical circuit. The use of high voltage is dangerous and may lead to a  re or
another accident that can damage the microwave oven.
WARNING!
An incorrectly grounded power socket may present a danger of electric shock
NOTE:
1. If you are uncertain about the grounding of your mains power socket, contact an authorised service
centre or a quali ed electrician.
2. Neither the manufacturer nor the vendor is responsible for damages to property and health
if the microwave oven is connected incorrectly and not in accordance with the presented
recommendations.

PART 2: INSTALLATION
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 qualied service personnel.
3. This microwave oven must be placed on a at, 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 sucient airow. 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.
6. Do not operate the oven without glass tray, roller support, and shaft in their proper positions.
7. Make sure that the power supply cord is undamaged and does not run under the oven or over any hot
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.
PART 3: UTENSILS GUIDE
1. Microwave cannot penetrate metal. Only use utensils that are suitable for use in microwave ovens.
Metallic containers for food and beverages are not allowed during microwave cooking. This requirement
is not applicable if the manufacturer species size and shape of metallic containers suitable for
microwave cooking.
2. Microwave cannot 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 res.
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.

is complete or when oven is not in use. To stop oven during cooking process, push the door release button
or open the door by the handle.
PART 7: MAINTERANCE AND CLEANING
1. Turn o the microwave oven and disconnect from the power socket before performing regular or
exceptional maintenance.
2. Keep the inside area clean. If the walls of the microwave oven are splattered with food juices then wipe
them away using a damp cloth. If the microwave oven is heavily soiled, you can use a weak solution of
a neutral cleaning agent. Do not use cleaning agents in a spray or other coarse agents as they could
scratch, damage or degrade the surface of the microwave oven.
3. Wipe the exterior surface with a damp cloth. To prevent damaging the operating parts of the oven,
make sure that water does not enter the ventilation openings.
4. Regularly clean both sides of the door and window, door seal and other parts using a damp cloth so as
to remove drops or food remains. Do not use cleaning agents causing abrasion.
5. Do not expose the control panel to moisture. Clean it using a  ne damp cloth. Leave the door open
when cleaning the control panel so as not to accidentally start the oven.
6. If the inside of the oven or around the door fogs up with steam from food, wipe it o with a clean dry
wiping cloth. This condition may arise if the oven is installed in a humid environment. This is a normal
event.
7. Regularly clean the glass plate. You can clean the plate in warm water or in a dishwasher.
8. The rotating ring and the under side of the inside area of the oven should be regularly cleaned to
prevent excessive noise. Simply clean out the under side of the inside area of the oven using a weak
neutral detergent solution. You may wash the rotating ring in a weak neutral cleaning agent solution or
in a dishwasher. Do not forget to correctly return the rotating ring back into the microwave oven after
taking it out.
9. To remove unpleasant odours from the oven place a glass (check that it is suitable for use in a
microwave oven) of water with juice and peal from one lemon into the microwave oven and allow it to
cook in the microwave mode for 5 minutes. Thoroughly wipe out the inside area of the oven until dry
with a ne cloth.
10. If the interior light needs to be replaced, please contact an authorised service centre.
11. Regularly clean the oven and remove food remains. Otherwise, the surface of the oven may be damaged
or its lifetime may be reduced or there may be a risk of a hazardous situation arising.
