The oven must be level.
The turntable and turntable roller rest must be
in the oven during cooking.
Place the cookware gently on the turntable and
handle it carefully to avoid possible breakage.
The oven has several built-in safety switches to
ensure that the power remains off when the
door is open. Do not tamper with these
switches.
Do not operate the microwave oven empty.
Do not overcook food. Asmall quantity of food
with low moisture content or high fat or sugar
content can burn.
Do not cook bacon directlv on the turntable.
Excessive local heating of’the turntable may
cause it to break.
●
●
●
●
●
Avoid heating baby bottles or baby food jars.
Transfer the food into asuitable container for
the microwave oven. The food temperature
should be tested before giving it to the baby.
Do not heat narrow-necked containers, such as
syrup bottles.

controlled.
Do not heat cans. Transfer the contents into a
microwave-safe dish before heating.
Do not use this microwave oven for
commercial purposes. This microwave oven is
made for household use only.
NOTE
. It is quite normal for steam to be emitted
around the door, for misting to occur on the
door, or even for water droplets to appear
below the door during the cooking cycle. This is
merely condensation%om the he~t of the food.
PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE
TO EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY
(a) Never interfere or tamper with safety interlocks.
(b) Do not place any object between the oven front face and the door or allow soil or cleaner
residue to accumulate on door sealing surfaces. Wipe the door sealing area frequently with
amild detergent, rinse and wipe dry. Never use abrasive powders or pads.
(c) when open, the door must not be subjected to st(ain; for example, achild hanging on the
opened door or any load on it could cause the oven to fall forward, and the weight could
also damage the” door.
(d) Do not operate the oven if it is damaged. It is particularly important that the oven door
closes 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

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions
should be followed, including the following:
WARNING -To reduce the risk of burns, electric shock, fire, injury
to persons or exposure to excessive microwave energy:
1. Read all instructions before using.
2. As with most cooking appliances, close
supervision is necessary to reduce the risk of a
fire in the oven cavity.
If afire should start:
●Keep the oven door closed
●Turn the oven off, and
.Disconnect the power cord or shut off power at
the fuse or circuit breaker panel.
Keep in mind the following rules at all times:
a.
b.
c.
Do not overcook food. Overcooked food can
cause fires in the oven. Carefully attend to the
oven’s activities, especially if paper, plastic, or
other combustibles are inside.
Do not store combustible items such as bread,
cookies, paper products, etc. inside the oven.
They may catch fire if turned on accidentally.
Do not use wire twist-ties in the oven. Be sure
to inspect purchased items for wire twist-ties
and remove before placing food in the oven.
3. Some products such as eggs in the shell, water
with oil or fat, sealed containers and closed
glass jars may explode and therefore should
not be heated in this oven.

Use this oven only for its intended uses as
described in the manual. It is not designed for
industrial or laboratory use. Never use
corrosive chemicals or vapors in this oven.
As with any appliance, children should use the
oven only under adult supervision.
Do not store or use this appliance outdoors.
Keep the oven away from heat and water
sources. Exposure to heat and water can lower
efficiency and lead to malfunctioning.
When heating water or other liquids, use a
wide necked container to allow air bubbles to
escape freely. Using narrow-necked containers
may cause the liquid to boil over. This may
happen even after the cooking has stopped.
It is important to keep the door and the oven
interior clean.
(See “Cleaning” instructions on page 14.)
WARNING
(a) Do not adjustor repair microwave oven yourself. Do not operate the oven if it is damaged,
until it has been repaired by aservice engineer trained by the manufacturer.
(b) It is dangerous for anyone other than aproperly qualified engineer trained by the
manufacturer to carry out adjustments or repairs.
(c) If the power supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, as aspecially
prepared cord is required.
(d) On no account remove or interfere with any parts or screws.
THIS COULD PROVE VERY DANGEROUS.
