PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO
EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY
1. Do not attempt to operate this oven with the door open since open door operation
can result in harmful exposure to microwave energy. It is important not to defeat or
tamper with the safety interlocks.
2. Do not place any object between the oven front face and the door or allow dirt or •
cleaner residue to accumulate on sealing surfaces.
3. Do not operate the oven if it is damaged. It is particularly important that the oven
door close properly and that there is no damage to the
a. Door (bent),
b. Hinges and latches (broken or loosened),
c. Door seals and sealing surfaces.
4. The oven should not be adjusted or repaired by anyone except properly qualified
service person.
INSTALLATION
1. Make sure that all the packing materials are removed from the inside of the door.
2. 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 qualified service person.
3. This Microwave Oven must be placed on a flat, stable surface to hold its weight and
the heaviest food likely to be cooked in the oven.
4. Do not place the oven where heat, moisture, or high humidity are generated, or
near combustible materials.
5. For correct operation, the oven must have sufficient airflow. Allow 20cm of space
above the oven, 10cm at back and 5cm at both sides. Do not cover or block any
openings on the appliance. Do not remove feet.
6. Do not operate the oven without glass tray, roller support, and shaft in their proper
positions.
7. Make sure that the power supply cord is undamaged and does not run under the
oven or over any hot or sharp surface.
8. The socket must be readily accessible so that it can be easily unplugged in an
emergency.
9. Do not use the oven outdoors.
RADIO INTERFERENCE
Operation of the Microwave Oven can cause interference to your radio, TV, or
similar equipment.
When there is interference, it may be reduced or eliminated by taking the following
measures:
1. Clean door and sealing surface of the oven.
2. Reorient the receiving antenna of radio or television.
3. Relocate the Microwave Oven with respect to the receiver.
4. Move the Microwave Oven away from the receiver.
5. Plug the Microwave Oven into a different outlet so that Microwave Oven and
receiver are on different branch circuits.
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 splattering and help foods to cook
evenly.
4. To speed up cooking of foods such as chicken and hamburgers, turn the food over
once during microwave cooking. 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.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be grounded. This oven is equipped with a cord which has a
grounding wire with a grounding plug. It must be plugged into a wall receptacle 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 a fire or other accident causing oven damage.
WARNING: Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock.
NOTE:
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 cable main are colored in accordance with the following code:
Green and yellow = Earth
Blue = Neutral
Brown = Live
BEFORE YOU CALL FOR SERVICE
If the oven fails to operate:
1. Check to ensure that the oven is plugged in securely. If it is not, remove the
plug from the outlet, wait 10 seconds, and plug it in again securely.
2. Check for a blown circuit fuse or a tripped main circuit breaker. If these seem to be
operating properly, test the outlet with another appliance.
3. Check to ensure that the control panel is programmed correctly and the timer is set.
4. Check to ensure that the door is securely closed engaging the door safety lock
system. Otherwise, the microwave energy will not flow into the oven.
If none of the above rectifies the situation, then contact a qualified technician.
Do not try to adjust or repair the oven yourself.
UTENSILS GUIDE
1. The ideal material for a microwave utensil is transparent, it allows energy to pass
through the container and heat the food.
2. Microwaves cannot penetrate metal, so metal utensils or dishes with metallic trim
should not be used.
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 recommended, as food in
corners tends to overcook.
5. Narrow strips of aluminum foil may be used to prevent overcooking of exposed
areas. But be careful, don’t use too much and keep a distance of 1 inch (2.54cm)
between foil and cavity.
The list below is a general guide to help you select the correct utensils.
