GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
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.
Notes:
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 mains cable are colored in
accordance with the following code:
Green and Yellow = EARTH
Blue = NEUTRAL
Brown = LIVE
MICROWAVE COOKING PRINCIPLES
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.
BEFORE YOU CALL FOR SERVICE
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 RECTIFIES THE SITUATION, THEN CONTACT A QUALIFIED TECHNICIAN.
DO NOT TRY TO ADJUST OR REPAIR THE OVEN YOURSELF.

UTENSILS GUIDE
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.

CLEANING AND CARE
1. Turn off the oven and remove the power plug
from the wall socket before cleaning.
2. Keep the inside of the oven clean. When food
splatters or spilled liquids adhere to oven
walls, 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 conditions, this
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 the bottom surface of the oven
with mild detergent. The roller ring may be
washed in mild sudsy water or dishwasher.
When removing the roller ring from cavity floor
for cleaning, be sure to replace in the proper
position.
9. Remove odors from your oven by combining a
cup of water with the juice and skin of one
lemon in a deep microwaveable bowl,
microwave for 5 minutes. Wipe thoroughly and
dry with a soft cloth.
10.When it becomes necessary to replace the
oven light, please consult a dealer to have it
replaced.
11.The oven should be cleaned regularly and any
food deposits removed. Failure to maintain the
oven in a clean condition could lead to
deterioration of the surface that could
adversely affect the life of the appliance and
possibly result in a hazardous situation.
12.Please do not dispose this appliance into the
domestic rubbish bin; it should be disposed to
the particular disposal center provided by the
municipalities.
13.When the microwave ovens have grill function
is first used, it may produce slight smoke and
smell. This is a normal phenomenon, because
the oven is made of a steel plate coated with
lubricating oil, and odor generated by burning
the lubricating oil. This phenomenon will
disappear after a period of using.
Caution.
Caution is required with Oily Foods. Please
Wipe Interior Clean to avoid build up of oil
Which is inflammable.
