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 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.

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.
Stand at arms length from the oven when opening

HOW A MICROWAVE OVEN WORKS
Microwaves are high-frequency electromagnetic waves; the energy released
enables food to be cooked or reheated without the foods form or colour
changing.
You can use your microwave oven to:
• Defrost (manual & auto)
• Cook
• Reheat
CookingPrinciple.
1. The microwaves generated by the magnetron 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recipient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
