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.
The following basic precautions should always be followed when using electrical
appliances:
1. Read all instructions before using the appliance.
The Appliance
2. This appliance must be used only for the purpose it was expressly designed, i.e.
heating food and beverages through microwaves; any use NOT complying with
the instructions contained in the manual (for example, drying of food or clothing
and heating of warming pads, slippers, sponges, damp cloth and similar) is
considered inappropriate and dangerous. The manufacturer is NOT responsible
for possible damages, including, risk of injury, ignition or fire, caused by the
inappropriate and/or unreasonable use.
3. The installation/assembly of the appliance will be made in accordance with the
indications of the manufacturer. A wrong procedure may cause damages to
persons, animals or objects, for which the manufacturer cannot be considered
responsible.
4. Before use, check the integrity of the appliance and power cable. DO NOT operate
the appliance when its housing is damaged. In case you are not sure, contact a
qualified person. If the power cable is damaged, it must be replaced by the
manufacturer or its service agent or a qualified technician in order to avoid a shock
hazard.
5. Before powering the appliance make sure the rating (voltage and frequency)
corresponding to the grid and the socket is suitable for the plug of the appliance,
and that the wall socket is properly grounded. This appliance is fitted with an earth
wire for extra safety.

6. Avoid the use of adapters and/or extension cables; if their use is absolutely
necessary, use only materials in compliance with the current safety regulations
and according to the electrical parameters of the adapters.
7. The appliance must NOT be switched on using external timers and/or other remote
control appliances which are not specified in this manual.
8. Only use original components & accessories (e.g. Turntable, Rotating Ring, etc.)
provided by the manufacturer. Any non-original component or accessory NOT
recommended by the manufacturer (including, but not limited to, Turntable,
Rotating Ring, etc. made by other manufacturers or by the same manufacturer but
for other models of the same capacity or otherwise) may cause injuries to persons
or damage to the appliance.
9. The packing materials (plastic bags, expanded polystyrene, etc.) must be kept out
of the reach of children or disabled persons since they represent potential sources
of danger.
Location
10. This appliance is NOT suitable to be used or stored near heat sources (open flame,
ovens, heaters, stoves, etc.) and/or in an explosive environment (in the presence
of flammable substances such as gas, vapour, mist or dust, in atmospheric
conditions when, after ignition, the combustion is spread in the air). Items
containing these substances should never be placed in the appliance, and never
be used to clean the appliance in order to avert the risk of fire or explosion.
11. The appliance should NOT be placed on a surface, or in the vicinity of, objects
which can be damaged by heat, such as carpets or plastics. DO NOT locate
multiple portable socket outlets or power supplies at the bottom or rear of the
appliance. When using the appliance, the surface that the appliance is placed
upon as well the surface immediately above (e.g. a wooden cabinet above the
appliance), may become very hot. If the appliance is operated on wooden furniture,
use a protective pad to prevent damage to delicate finishes.
12. Place the appliance at a proper distance from the objects or surrounding walls
making sure that its functioning will NOT cause accidental damages. There should
be at least 10 cm of free space from the back, 5 cm from the left & right sides, and
at least 20 cm the top of the appliance. Never put things on top of the Outer Cover.
DO NOT use the appliance when placed in a closed cabinet.
13. To avoid electronic disturbance that may mar your listening or viewing pleasure
while the appliance is in operation, place the appliance at least 5 m from the TV,
radio or antenna.
14. Avoid placing the power cable on abrasive or sharp surfaces or in positions where
it can be damaged easily. The cable must NOT be placed under carpets, or
covered with throw rugs, runners or similar. Arrange the cable away from the high
traffic area, and where it will NOT be tripped over.
15. DO NOT use or store the appliance outdoors. Store and use the appliance only
indoors, or in any case, protected from weathering such as rain, direct radiation of
the sun and dust.

Operation
16. If you are using the appliance for the first time, you should:
a. Clean the exterior of the appliance – Outer Cover including the Control Panel,
Viewing Window, Rotating Axis, Rotating Ring, Turntable, the walls of the
Cavity and Waveguide Cover with a damp cloth and wipe dry. DO NOT use
metal scouring pads.
b. Place and use the appliance upright on a horizontal, stable, dry and heat-
resistant surface. Damage to the appliance may occur if it is placed on an
incline or decline.
c. Make sure to remove any label or protective sheet which may prevent its
proper functioning.
d. (First use)
•Fill a microwavable bowl with 2 inches of water and place the bowl on the
Turntable. Place a cover on top of the bowl loosely, but DO NOT seal the
bowl shut.
•Close the door and observe that it shuts tightly.
•Turn the Timer Dial anti-clockwise to ‘0’.
•Plug the power cable into the wall socket and switch it ON.
•Turn the Power Dial to the power level of ‘High’.
•Turn the Timer clockwise to ‘2’. The lamp will light and heating will

Window. At any time, opening the door will cease operation and closing
the door will resume operation. The Timer countdown ceases during the
pause. Note that should you decide to discontinue heating before the
Timer runs out, make sure to set the Timer Dial back to ‘0’, this avoids the
appliance from operating with an empty load. After 2 minutes, heating will
stop, the bell will ring and the lamp will go out. Switch the wall socket off
and unplug the power cable. Thereafter the appliance is safe to use.
•Remove the bowl with great care. Be aware that heating of liquids can
result in delayed eruptive boiling, therefore care has to be taken when
handling containers of liquids.
•Care should be taken not to displace the Turntable when removing
containers from the appliance.
Switching the appliance ON
•Turn the Timer Dial anti-clockwise to ‘0’. Plug the power cable into the wall
socket and switch it ON. Turn the Power Dial to a suitable power level.

COOKING TIPS…
The following factors may affect the cooking result:
Food arrangement
Place thicker cross-sections towards the outside, and thinner cross-sections at the
middle of the container. Spread them evenly. DO NOT overlap if possible.
Cooking duration
Start cooking with a shorter duration. Remove and evaluate it. Extend if necessary.
You can always extend the duration, but cannot uncook an overcooked or burnt dish.
Cooking food evenly
Food such as chicken, meat patties or steak should be turned once during cooking.
Depending on the type of food, if applicable, stir it from outside to centre of dish once
or twice during cooking
Allow standing time
After the Timer has gone off, leave the food in the oven for an extended period of
time. This not only allows the food to sizzle in its own gravy, but this allows it to
complete its cooking cycle and cooling it down in a gradual manner.
Whether the food is done
Colour and hardness of food help to determine if it is done, these include:
-Steam coming out from all parts of food, not just the edges;
-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.
Browning Dish
When using a Browning Dish or self-heating container, always place a heat-resistant
insulator such as a porcelain plate under it to prevent damage to the Turntable and
Rotating Ring.
Microwave safe plastic cookware
Some microwave-safe plastic cookware might not be suitable for cooking foods with
high fat and sugar content. Also, the preheating time specified in the dish instruction
manual must not be exceeded.
