overheat foods resulting in a fire.
2. This oven is not designed to be built-in to a wall or
cabinet.
3. The electrical outlet must be readily accessible
so that the unit can be unplugged easily in an
emergency.
4. The AC power supply must be 230-240V, 50Hz.
5. It is recommended that a separate circuit serving
only this appliance be provided.
6. Do not place the oven in areas where heat is
generated. For example, close to a conventional
oven.
7. Do not install the oven in an area of high humidity
or where moisture may collect.

Warning

ENGLISH
E – 2
1. If you are not sure how to connect your oven,
please consult a qualified electrician.
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 correct
electrical connection procedure.
3. Water vapour or drops may occasionally form on
the oven walls or around the door seals and
sealing surfaces. This is a normal occurrence
and is not an indication of leaking of microwaves
or a malfunction.
4. The clock of the oven works based on the fre-
quency of power source. So it may gain or lose in
some area where the frequency varies. It is
recommended that you should adjust the time
occasionally.
Note
1. Never modify the oven in any way.
2. Do not move the oven while it is in operation.
3.
This oven is for home food preparation only. It is not
suitable for commercial or laboratory use.
4. This appliance is not intended for use by young
children or infirm persons without supervision.
Caution
1. Never operate the oven when it is empty. Doing
so may damage the oven.
2. Do not use metal utensils, which reflect micro-
waves and may cause electrical arcing. Do not
put cans in the oven.
3. Use only the turntable and the roller stay de-
signed for this oven.
4. To prevent the turntable from breaking:
(a) Before cleaning the turntable with water,
leave the turntable to cool.
(b) Do not put hot foods or hot utensils on the
cold turntable.
(c) Do not put cold foods or cold utensils on the
hot turntable.
5. Do not place anything on the outer cabinet during
operation.
6. Never poke an object, particularly a metal object,
through a grille or between the door and the oven
while the oven operating.
7. Never tamper with or deactivated the door safety
latches.
8. When using a browning dish or self-heating
material, always place a heat-resistant insulator
such as a porcelain plate under it to prevent
damage to the turntable and roller stay due to
heat stress. The preheating time specified in the
dish's instructions must not be exceeded.
To avoid the possibility of explosion and
sudden boiling
To avoid the possibility of burns
1. Use pot holders or oven gloves when removing
food from the oven to prevent burns.
2. Always open containers, popcorn makers, oven
cooking bags, etc., away from the face and
hands to avoid steam burns.
3. Always stand back from the oven door
when opening it to avoid burns from
escaping steam and heat.
4. Slice stuffed baked foods after heating to
release steam and avoid burns.
5. Stir the food and the contents of cooking contain-
ers, and test their actual temperature before
giving them to infants, young children or elderly
people to avoid internal burns.
6. Do not catch the utensil, your clothes or acces-
sories on the door safety latches, when you take
out the food from the oven.
1. Never use sealed containers. Remove seals and
lids before use. Sealed containers can explode
due to a build up of pressure even after the oven
has been turned off.
2. When boiling water or other liquids, use a wide-
mouthed container to allow bubbles to escape. It
is advisable to insert a glass rod or other similar
utensil to prevent sudden boiling (resulting in
splashing or burning).
3. Do not cook eggs in their shells. They may
explode. The explosion may damage the oven or
injure yourself. To cook or reheat eggs which
have not been scrambled or mixed, pierce the
yolks and whites or the eggs may explode. Shell
and slice hard boiled eggs before reheating them
in the microwave oven.
4. Pierce the skin on such foods as potatoes, sau-
sages and fruit before cooking, or they may
explode.
To avoid misuse by children
1. Only allow chidlren to use the oven without super-
vision when adequate instructions have been
given so that the child is able to use the oven in a
safe way and understands the hazards or improp-
er use.
2. Children should use ovens only under the super-
vision of adults.
3. Do not lean or swing on the oven door. Do not play
with the oven or use it as a toy. Young children
should be supervised to ensure that they do not
play with the oven.
4. Children should be taught all important safety
instructions : use of potholders, careful removal
of food coverings; pay special attention to pack-
aging (e.g. self-heating materials) designed to
make food crisp because they may be extra hot.

through the cooking cycle.
4. Cook with the casserole lid on.
5. Stir and stand for 10 minutes after cooking.
Press the SLOW COOK pad.
