If the supply cord is damaged, it must be
replaced by the manufacturer, its service
agent or similarly qualified persons in
order to avoid a hazard.
For your personal safety, plug the cable
into a proper AC earthed socket.
Do not install the microwave oven in hot or
damp surroundings like next to a traditional
oven or radiator. The power supply
specifications of the oven must be respected
and any extension cable used must be
of the same standard as the power cable
supplied with the oven. Wipe the interior and
the door seal with a damp cloth before using

(Turntable type model only)
ALWAYS ensure that the door seals are
clean and the door closes properly.
Failure to maintain the oven in a clean
condition could lead to deterioration of the
surface that could adversely aect the life
of the appliance and possibly result in a
hazardous situation.
1.
Clean the outside surfaces with a soft cloth
and warm, soapy water. Rinse and dry.
2.Remove any splashes or stains on the
inside surfaces of oven with a soapy cloth.
Rinse and dry.

necessary.
DO NOT spill water in the vents. NEVER
use any abrasive products or chemical
solvents. Take particular care when
cleaning the door seals to ensure that no
particles:
• Accumulate

WARNING: Microwave heating of beverages can
result in delayed eruptive boiling, therefore care must
be taken when handling the container; To prevent
this situation ALWAYS allow a standing time of at
least 20 seconds after the oven has been switched
o so that the temperature can equalize. Stir during
heating, if necessary, and ALWAYS stir after heating.

English - 10
Stand at arms length from the oven when opening
the door to avoid getting scalded by escaping hot air
or steam.
Do not operate the microwave oven when it is
empty. The microwave oven will automatically
shut down for 30 minutes for safety purposes. We
recommend placing a glass of water inside the oven
at all times to absorb microwave energy in case the
microwave oven is started accidentally.
Install the oven in compliance with the clearances stated
in this manual. (See installing your microwave oven.)
Take care when connecting other electrical
appliances to sockets near the oven.
PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE
MICROWAVE ENERGY. (MICROWAVE FUNCTION ONLY)
Failure to observe the following safety precautions may result in harmful exposure to
microwave energy.
(a) Under no circumstances should any attempt be made to operate the oven
with the door open or to tamper with the safety interlocks (door latches) or to
insert anything into the safety interlock holes.
(b) Do NOT place any object between the oven door and front face or allow
food or cleaner residues to accumulate on sealing surfaces. Ensure that the
door and door sealing surfaces are kept clean by wiping after use first with a
damp cloth and then with a soft dry cloth.
(c) Do NOT operate the oven if it is damaged until it has been repaired by a
qualified microwave service technician trained by the manufacturer. It is
particularly important that the oven door closes properly and that there is no
damage to the:
(1) door (bent)
(2) door hinges (broken or loose)
(3) door seals and sealing surfaces
(d) The oven should not be adjusted or repaired by anyone other than a properly
qualified microwave service technician trained by the manufacturer.
Do not operate the microwave oven for deep
fat frying because the oil temperature cannot be
controlled. This could result in a sudden boil over of
the hot liquid.
CAUTION
Only use utensils that are suitable for use in
microwave ovens; DO NOT use any metallic
containers, Dinnerware with gold or silver trimmings,
Skewers, forks, etc.
Remove wire twist ties from paper or plastic bags.
Reason: Electric arcing or sparking may occur and
may damage the oven.
Do not use your microwave oven to dry papers or
clothes.
Use shorter times for smaller amounts of food to
prevent overheating and burning food.
Do not immerse the power cable or power plug in
water and keep the power cable away from heat.
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; Also do not heat airtight or vacuum-sealed
bottles, jars, containers, nuts inshells, tomatoes etc.
Do not cover the ventilation slots with cloth or paper.
They may catch fire as hot air escapes from the
oven. The oven may also overheat and switch itself
o automatically, and will remain o until it cools
suciently.
Always use oven mitts when removing a dish from
the oven to avoid unintentional burns.
Stir liquids halfway during heating or after heating
ends and allow the liquid stand at least 20 seconds
after heating to prevent eruptive boiling.

oven use
HOW A MICROWAVE OVEN WORKS
Microwaves are high-frequency electromagnetic waves; the energy released enables
food to be cooked or reheated without changing either the form or the colour.
You can use your microwave oven to:
• Defrost
• Reheat
• Cook
Cooking principle.
1. The microwaves generated by the magnetron reflected at
cavity and are distributed uniformly as the food rotates on
the turntable. The food is thus cooked evenly.
2. The microwaves are absorbed by the food up to a depth of
about 1 inch (2.5 cm). Cooking then continues as the heat is
dissipated within the food.
3. Cooking times vary according to the container used and the
properties of the food:
• Quantity and density
• Water content
• Initial temperature (refrigerated or not)
As the centre of the food is cooked by heat dissipation, cooking continues even
when you have taken the food out of the oven. Standing times specified in recipes
and in this booklet must therefore be respected to ensure:
• Even cooking of the food right to the centre.
• The same temperature throughout the food.

Auto sensor cooking instructions
The Auto Sensor allows you to cook your food automatically by detecting the amount of
gases generated from the food while cooking.
• When cooking food, many kinds of gases are generated.
The Auto Sensor determines the proper time and power level by detecting these
gases from the food, eliminating the need to set the cooking time and power level.
• When you cover a container with its lid or plastic wrap during Sensor Cooking, the
Auto Sensor will detect the gases generated after the container has been saturated
with steam.
• Shortly before cooking ends, the remaining cooking time will begin its count down.
This will be a good time for you to rotate or stir the food for even cooking if it is
necessary.
• Before auto sensor cooking food may be seasoned with herbs, spices or browning
sauces. A word of caution though, salt or sugar may cause burn spots on food so
these ingredients should be added after cooking.
Utensils & Cover for sensor cooking
• To obtain good cooking results with this function, follow the directions for selecting
appropriate containers and covers in the charts in this book.
• Always use microwave-safe containers and cover them with their lids or with plastic
wrap. When using plastic wrap, turn back one corner to allow steam to escape at the
proper rate.
• Always cover with the lid intended for the utensil being used. If the utensil does not
have its own lid, use plastic wrap.
• Fill containers at least half full.
• Foods that require stirring or rotating should be stirred or turned toward the end of
the Sensor Cook cycle, after the time has started to count down on the display.
Important
• After installing the oven and plugging into an electrical outlet, do not unplug the
power cord. The gas sensor needs time to stabilize in order to cook satisfactorily.
• It is not advisable to use the auto sensor cooking feature on a continuous cooking
operation, i.e. one cooking operation immediately after another.
• Install the oven in a well ventilated location for proper cooling and airflow and to
ensure the sensor will operate accurately.
• To avoid poor results, do not use the Auto sensor when the room ambient
temperature is too high or too low.
• Do not use volatile detergent to clean your oven. Gas resulting from this detergent
may aect the sensor.
• Avoid placing the oven near high moisture or gas emitting appliances, since this will
interfere with the proper performance of the Auto Sensor.
• Always keep the inside of the oven clean. Wipe all spills with a damp cloth. This oven
is designed for household use only.
