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 a fire or other accident causing
oven damage.
WARNING: Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock.
Notes: 1.If you have any questions about the grounding or electrical instructions, consult a
qualified electrician or service person.
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 electrical connection procedures.
The wires in this mains cable are colored in accordance with the following code:
Green and Yellow = EARTH
Blue=NEUTRAL
Brown=LIVE

MICROWAVE COOKING PRINCIPLES
1. Arrange food carefully. Place thickest areas
towards outside of dish.
2. Watch cooking time. Cook for the shortest
amount of time indicated and add more as
needed. Food severely overcooked can
smoke or ignite.
3. Cover foods while cooking. Covers prevent
spattering and help foods to cook evenly.
4. Turn foods over once during microwaving
to speed cooking of such foods as chicken

and hamburgers. Large items like roasts
must be turned over at least once.
5. Rearrange foods such as meatballs halfway
through cooking both from top to bottom
and from the center of the dish to the
outside.
UTENSILS GUIDE
1. The ideal material for a microwave utensil is transparent to microwave, it allows energy to pass
through the container and heat the food.
2. Microwave can not penetrate metal, so metal utensils or dishes with metallic trim should not be
use.
3. Do not use recycled paper products when microwave cooking, as they may contain small metal
fragments which may cause sparks and/or fires.
4. Round /oval dishes rather than square/oblong ones are recommend, as food in corners tends to
overcook.
The list below is a general guide to help you select the correct utensils.
