Misuse may cause injury.
• A 230-240-volt, 50 Hz,
AC only, 15-20-amp
electrical supply with a
fuse or circuit breaker is
required in accordance
with all Federal, State and
Local governing codes
and ordinances.
• We also recommend
a separate circuit
dedicated to serving only
this microwave oven.
• A short power-supply
cord is supplied to reduce
the risks resulting from
becoming entangled in
or tripping over a longer
cord.
• The installation of
a residual current
device (safety switch)
is recommended to
provide additional safety
protection when using
electrical appliances.
It is advisable that a
safety switch with a
rated residual operating
current not exceeding
30mA be installed in
the electrical circuit
supplying the appliance.
See your electrician for
professional advice.
• The appliance must
be used on a properly
grounded outlet. If you
are not sure if the power
outlets are properly
grounded, please consult
your electrician.

SPECIAL SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS FOR YOUR
MICROWAVE OVEN
• Wipe the oven cavity with
a soft, damp cloth after
each use. Leaving food
residue, grease or fat in
the cavity could cause the
microwave oven cavity to
overheat and may cause
the microwave oven to
smoke or catch re.
• Allow glass turntable
to cool down to room
temperature before
washing or placing in cold
water.
• The microwave oven
should be cleaned
regularly and any food
splattering inside the
cavity should be removed.
Failure to maintain the
microwave oven in a
clean condition could
lead to deterioration of
the surface, adversely
aecting the life of the
microwave oven and
possibly resulting in a
hazardous situation.
• Do not use a steam
cleaner to clean the
microwave oven.
• The microwave oven
is intended for heating
food and beverages.
Drying of food or clothing
and heating or warming
pads, slippers, sponges,
damp cloth and similar
may lead to risk of injury,
ignition or re.
• Ensure all food
containers and/ or plates
are suitable for use in
the microwave oven.
This should be done
prior to preparing food for
heating or cooking in the
microwave oven.
• All suitable glass or
plastic food containers
should be used in strict
compliance with the
cookware manufacturer’s
recommendations.
• Containers or plates
suitable for use in the
microwave oven should

10
not exceed the width of
the glass turntable as this
may impede the rotation
of the turntable and result
in food being unevenly
cooked or may burn and
catch on re.
• Food and/or liquids
should not be heated or
cooked directly on the
glass turntable. Food and/
or liquids must be placed
into a suitable microwave-
proof container before
placing onto the glass
turntable.
• Food and/or liquids
should not be heated
or cooked in plastic or
paper containers or
bags, unless specied
as suitable for use by the
manufacturer, due to the
possibility of containers
exploding or igniting.
• Do not use recycled
paper or paper towels
when cooking. Recycled
paper may contain small
metal or other impurities
which could cause
sparking and/or re.
• Do not use metal
containers or utensils
in the microwave oven
as these could cause
sparking and / or re.
• Food grade foil should not
be used in the microwave
oven as this could cause
sparking and/ or re.
• Ensure that lids and caps
covering containers are
removed prior to placing
liquids and/or foods into
the microwave oven.
• Feeding bottles and baby
food jars should have
lids and caps removed
before warming or
heating in the microwave
oven.To avoid burns or
scalding after heating,
the contents should be
stirred or shaken, and
the temperature checked
before serving.
• Always ensure the
temperature of food or
drink which has been
heated or cooked in the
microwave oven has

11
been tested before eating,
drinking or serving.
PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID
POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO
EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE
ENERGY
• Do not attempt to operate
this oven with the door
open since open-door
operation can result in
harmful exposure to
microwave energy. It is
important not to defeat
or tamper with the
safety interlocks.
• Do not place any object
between the oven front
face and the door or allow
soil or cleaner residue to
accumulate on sealing
surfaces.
• If the door or door seals
are damaged, the oven
must not be operated.
Immediately cease use
and call Sage Consumer
Support for examination,
repair or adjustment. It
is particularly important
that the oven door close
properly and that there
is no damage to the:(1)
Door (bent), (2) Hinges
and latches (broken or
loosened), (3) Door seals
and sealing surfaces.
• Do not put any foreign
material between the
door and door jamb of
the microwave oven.
• The oven should not
be adjusted or repaired
by anyone except
properly qualied
service personnel.
SUPERHEATED LIQUIDS
• To reduce this risk of
injury to persons:
• Do not overheat
the liquid.
• Stir the liquid both before
and halfway through
heating it.
• The heating of beverages
in the microwave can
boil over. Care should
be taken when handling
beverages at all times.
• Do not use straight-sided
containers with narrow
necks.

12
• After heating, allow the
container to stand in
the microwave oven
for a short time before
removing the container.
• Use extreme care when
inserting a spoon or other
utensil into the container.
• Do not heat popcorn
in the microwave oven
unless it has been
commercially packaged
for microwave use.
There may be several
un-popped kernels that
may overcook and burn
when popping popcorn.
Do not use oil unless
recommended by the
manufacturer. Do not
pop popcorn longer
than the manufacturer’s
instructions (popping
time should not exceed
3 minutes). Longer
cooking could cause
scorching or re.
• Do not cook any food
surrounded by a
membrane (such as
potatoes, chicken liver,
egg yolks, oysters, etc.)
without rst piercing the
membrane several times
helping to allow for steam
to escape.
• Eggs in the shell and
whole hard-boiled eggs
should not be cooked or
heated in the microwave
oven as they may
explode during cooking,
at the end of cooking or
after removing from the
microwave oven.
• Do not heat oil or fat in the
microwave oven. Doing so
may cause the microwave
oven and/ or the oil to
overheat and/or ignite.
• If any smoke is observed,
switch o and unplug
the microwave oven at
the power outlet. Keep
the door closed to stie
any ames.
• Do not attempt to operate
the microwave oven by any
method other than those
described in this instruction
book.
• Utensils should be
checked to ensure that

13
they are suitable for use in
microwave ovens.
• Do not disconnect or
tamper with the power
cord or the power supply
outlet while the unit
is operating.
• Loosely wind the
cord when storing the
microwave oven. Do not
wrap the cord around the
microwave oven.
• When heating food
in plastic or paper
containers, keep an eye
on the microwave oven
due to the possibility
of ignition.
• The glass window has
been specially treated to
make it stronger, more
durable and safer than
ordinary glass, however
it is not unbreakable. If
dropped or struck hard,
it may break or weaken,
and could later shatter into
many small pieces without
apparent cause.
• If you see any sparks,
arcing or ashing within
the microwave oven,
press the STOP/CLEAR
button and correct the
problem or contact Sage
