1. Make sure that all the packing materials are removed from the inside of the
door.
WARNING! Check the oven for any damage, such as misaligned or bent
door, damaged door seals and sealing surface, broken or loose door
hinges and latches and dents inside the cavity or on the door. If there
is any damage, do not operate the oven and contact qualied service
personnel.
2. This microwave oven must be placed on a at, stable surface to hold its
weight and the heaviest food likely to be cooked in the oven.
3. Do not place the oven where heat, moisture, or high humidity are generated,
or near combustible materials.
4. For correct operation, the oven must have sucient airow. Allow a minimum
of 20cm space above the oven, 10cm at the back and 5cm on both sides.
Do not cover or block any openings on the appliance. Do not remove feet.
5. Do not operate the oven without glass tray, roller support, and shaft in their
proper positions.
6. Make sure that the power supply cord is undamaged and does not run under
the oven or over any hot or sharp surfaces.
7. The socket must be readily accessible so that it can be easily unplugged in
an emergency.
8. Do not use the oven outdoors.
9. Place the oven as far away from radios and TV as possible. Operation of
microwave oven may cause interference to your radio or TV reception.
10. This appliance must be grounded. This oven is equipped with a cord having
a grounding wire with a grounding plug. It must be plugged into a wall socket
that is properly installed and grounded. In the event of an electrical short
circuit, grounding reduces risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire
for the electric current. It is recommended that a separate circuit serving only
the oven be provided. Using a high voltage is dangerous and may result in
re or other accidents or damage.
WARNING! Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of
electric shock.
Please Note: If you have any questions about the grounding or electrical
instructions, consult a qualied electrician or service person. Neither the
manufacturer nor the dealer can accept any liability for damage to the oven
or personal injury resulting from failure to observe the electrical connection
procedures.

1. Turn o the oven and unplug the power cord from the wall when
cleaning.
2. Keep the inside of the oven clean. When food splatters or is spilled
liquids adhere to the oven walls, wipe with a damp cloth. Mild
detergents may be used if the oven gets very dirty. Avoid using
spray or other harsh cleaners. They may stain, streak or dull the door
surface.
3. The outside of the oven should be cleaned with a damp cloth. To
prevent damage to the operating parts inside the oven, water should
not be allowed to seep into the ventilation openings.
4. Wipe the door and window on both sides. Clean the door seals and
adjacent parts frequently with a damp cloth to remove any spills or
spatters. Do not use abrasive cleaners.
5. A steam cleaner should not be used.
6. Do not allow the control panel to become wet. Clean with a soft,
damp cloth. When cleaning the control panel, leave oven door open
to prevent oven from accidentally turning on.
7. If steam accumulates inside or around the outside of the oven door,
wipe with a soft cloth. This may occur when the microwave oven is
operated under high humidity condition, and it is normal.
8. It is occasionally necessary to remove the glass tray for cleaning.
Wash the tray in warm soapy water or put in a dishwasher.
9. The roller ring and oven oor should be cleaned regularly to avoid
excessive noise. Simply wipe the bottom surface of the oven with
mild detergent. The roller ring may be washed in mild, soapy water or
in a dishwasher. When removing the roller ring, be sure to replace it in
the correct position.
10. Remove odours from your oven by combining a cup of water with the
juice and skin of one lemon in a microwaveable bowl. Microwave for 5
minutes. Wipe thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth.
11. If the light bulb burns out, please contact customer service to have it
replaced.
12. The oven should be cleaned regularly, and any food deposits should
be removed. Failure to maintain the oven in a clean condition could
lead to deterioration of surfaces that could adversely aect the life of
the unit and could possibly result in a hazardous situation.
