EARTHING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be earthed. In the event of an electrical short circuit, earthing reduces the risk of electric
shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current. This appliance is equipped with a cord having a
earthing wire with a earthing plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and earthed.
INSTALLATION
1 Ventilation
Do not block air vents. If they are blocked during operation, the oven may overheat and eventually cause
a failure. For proper ventilation, allow above 3 inches of space between oven sides, rear and the
minimum height of free space necessary above the top surface of the oven is 100mm.
2 Steady, flat location
This oven should be set on a steady, flat surface. This oven is designed for counter top use only.
3 Leave space behind and side
All air vents should be kept a clearance. If all vents are covered during operation, the oven may overheat
and, eventually, oven failure.
4 Away from radio and TV sets
Poor television reception and radio interference may result if the oven is located close to a TV, Radio
antenna, feeder and so on. Position the oven as far from them as possible.
5 Away from heating appliance and water taps
Keep the oven away from hot air, steam or splash when choosing a place to position it, or the insulation
might be adversely affected and breakdowns occur.
6 Power supply
• Check your local power source. This oven requires a current of approximately 6 amperes, 230V 50Hz.
• Power supply cord is about 0.8 meters long.
• The voltage used must be the same as specified on this oven. Using a higher voltage may result in a fire
or other accident causing oven damage. Using low voltage will cause slow cooking. We are not
responsible for damage resulting from use of this oven with a voltage of ampere fuse other than those
specified.
• If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its service agent or a similarly
qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.

If there is still a problem, contact the service station.
A list of these stations is included in the oven.
CARE AND CLEANING
Although your oven is provided with safety features, it is important to observe the following:
1. It is important not to defeat or tamper with safety interlocks.
2. Do not place any object between the oven front face and the door or allow residue to accumulate on
sealing surfaces. Wipe the sealing area frequently with a mild detergent, rinse and dry. Never use abrasive
powders or pads.
3. When opened, the door must not be subjected to strain, for example, a child hanging on an opened door
or any load could cause the oven to fall forward to cause injury and also damage to the door. Do not
operate the oven if it is damaged, until it has been repaired by a trained service technician. It is particularly
important that the oven closes properly and that there is no damage to the:

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
* Q : Why do eggs sometimes pop?
* A : When baking or piaching eggs, the yolk may pop due to steam build-up inside the yolk membrane. To
prevent this, simply pierce the yolk with a toothpick before cooking. Never cook eggs without piercing
their shells.
* Q : Why this standing time recommended after the cooking operation has been completed?
* A : Standing time is very important.
With microwave cooking, the heat is in the food, not in the oven. Many foods build up enough internal
heat to allow the cooking process to continue, even after the food is removed from the oven. Standing
time for joints of meat, large vegetables and cakes is to allow the inside to cook completely, without
overcooking the outside.
* Q : Will the microwave oven be damaged if it operates while empty?
* A : Yes. Never run it empty.
* Q : Why does my oven not always cook as fast as the microwave cooking guide says?
* A : Check your cooking guide again, to make sure you’ve followed directions exactly ; and to see what
might cause variations in cooking time. Cooking guide times and heat settings are suggestions, to help
prevent over-cooking... the most common problem in getting used to a microwave oven.
Variations in the size, shape and weights and dimensions could require longer cooking time. Use your
own judgement along with the cooking guide suggestions to check whether the food has been properly
cooked just as you would do with a conventional cooker.
* Q : Can I operate my microwave oven without the turntable or turn the turntable over to hold a large dish?
* A : No. If you remove or turn over the turntable, you will get poor cooking results. Dishes used in your oven
must fit on the turntable.
* Q : Is it normal for the turntable to turn in either direction?
* A : Yes. The turntable rotates clockwise or counterclockwise, depending on the rotation of the motor when
the cooking cycle begins.
* Q : Can I pop popcorn in my microwave oven? How do I get the best results?
* A : Yes. Pop packaged microwave popcorn following manufacture’s guidelines or use the preset
POPCORN pad. Do not use regular paper bags. Use the “listening test”by stopping the oven as soon
as the popping slows to a “pop”every 1 or 2 seconds. Do not repop unpopped kernels. Do not pop
popcorn in glass cookware.
* Q : I accidentally ran my microwave oven without any food in it. Is it damaged?
* A : Running the oven empty for a short time will not damage the oven. However, it is not recommended.
* Q : Can the oven be used with the glass tray or roller guide removed?
* A : No. Both the glass tray and roller guide must always be used in the oven before cooking.
* Q : Can I open the door when the oven is operating?
* A : The door can be opened anytime during the cooking operation. Then microwave energy
will be instantly switched off and the time setting will maintain until the door is closed and START is
touched.
* Q : Why do I have moisture in my microwave oven after cooking?
* A : The moisture on the side of your microwave oven is normal. It is caused by steam from cooking food
heating the cool oven surface.
* Q : Dose microwave energy pass through the viewing screen in the door?
* A : No. The metal screen bounces back the energy to the oven cavity. The holes are made to allow light to
pass through. They do not let microwave energy pass through.

COOKING UTENSILS
Recommended Use
•Glass and glass-ceramic bowls and Dishes - Use for heating or cooking.
•Microwave browning dish - Use to brown the exterior of small items such as steaks, chops, or
pancakes. Follow the directions provided with you browning dish.
•Microwaveable plastic wrap - Use to retain steam. Leave a small opening for some steam to
escape and avoid placing it directly on the food.
•Wax paper - Use as a cover to prevent spattering.
• Paper towels, paper plates, napkins and cups - Use for short term heating and covering; they absorb
excess moisture and prevent spattering. Always attend the oven closely. Only use to absorb fat and
moisture when warming food. Pay special attention as over-heating may cause a fire in your oven. Do not
use re-cycled paper products, e.g. kitchen roll unless they say they are specifically designed for use in a
microwave oven. These products contain impurities which may cause sparks and/or fires when used.
• Thermometers - Use only those labeled “Microwave Safe”and follow all directions. Check the food in
several places. Conventional thermometers may be used once the food has been removed from the oven.
•Microwave cling film, microwave roasting bags - Microwave cling film and bags must be vented
for steam to escape, pierce in 4~5 places. Do not use plastic or metal ties as they may melt or catch
fire due to electrical ‘arcing’.
Limited Use
•Aluminum foil - Use narrow strips of foil to prevent overcooking of exposed areas. Using too much
toil can damage your oven, so be careful.
•Ceramic, porcelain, and stoneware - Use these if they are labeled “Microwave Safe.”If they are
not labeled, test them to make sure they can be used safely. Never use dishes with metalic trim.
•Plastic - Use only if labeled “Microwave Safe.”Other plastics can melt.
• Thin plastic, paper, straw and wooden containers - Always attend the oven closely. Look at the oven from
time to time when cooking or reheating food in disposable containers of plastic, paper or other combustible
material. Only use for warming food. Pay special attention as over-heating may cause a fire in your oven.
Not Recommended
•Glass jars and bottles - Regular glass is too thin to be used in a microwave, and can shatter.
•Paper bags - These are a fire hazard, except for popcorn bags that are designed for microwave use.
•Styrofoam plates and cups - These can melt and leave an unhealthy residue on food.
• Plastic storage and food containers - Containers such as margarine tubs can melt in the microwave.
•Metal utensils - These can damage your oven. Remove all metal before cooking.
COOKING INSTRUCTIONS
Utensils should be checked to ensure that they are suitable for use in microwave ovens.
UTENSILS TEST
Place the utensil in question next to a glass measure filled with water, in the microwave oven.
Microwave at high power for 1-2 minutes. If the water heats up, but the utensil remains cool, the
utensil is microwave-safe. However if the utensil becomes warm, microwaves are being absorbed by
the utensil and it should not be in the microwave oven. You probably have many items on hand in your
kitchen right now that can be used as cooking equipment in your microwave oven. Read through the
following checklist.
