Thank you for having chosen a 

NEC

 product. We are convinced that you will find your new microwave

oven very useful and that it will be of great help to you. As with all new kitchen appliances, it will take some
time to  learn all the new functions and features, but with time, this oven will become indispensable to you.

Read through the instruction manual carefully and ensure that you follow the recommendations given, these
instructions have been prepared so that you get the best from your new 

NEC

 Microwave Oven.

It is important that this instruction book is retained with the appliance for future reference. Should the appliance
be sold or transferred to another owner, or if you move house and leave the appliance, always ensure that the
book is supplied with the appliance so that the new owner can be acquainted with the functioning of the
appliance and the relevant warnings.

  The built-in safety interlock switches prevent the

microwave oven from operating when the door is
open.

  Do not tamper with them, or attempt to operate

the oven with the door open as open door
operation can result in exposure to microwave
energy.

  Do not allow food spills or cleaner residue to

accumulate on door sealing surfaces. See the
Cleaning and  Care section for cleaning
instructions.

  Do not operate the oven if it is damaged until it

has been repaired by qualified service personnel.

  It is particularly important that the oven door

closes properly and that there is no damage to
the: (1) door  (warped), (2) hinges and latches
(broken or insecure), (3) door seals and sealing
surface.

  Under no circumstances should you attempt to

repair the appliance yourself. Repairs carried out
by inexperienced persons may cause injury or
serious malfunctioning. Contact your local Service
Centre.

  Do not remove the outer case, door or control

panel at any time. Doing so may cause exposure
to  extremely high voltage.

  Install or locate this oven only in accordance with

“INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS” found in this
manual.

  Use the appliance for its intended use as

described in this manual. Do not use corrosive
chemicals in this  appliance. This type of oven is
specifically designed to heat, cook, or defrost
food. It is not designed for  industrial or laboratory
use neither for commercial use as this will
invalidate the guarantee.

  Do not operate the oven empty. If food or water is

not present to absorb the microwave energy, the
magnetron tube can be damaged.

  Close supervision is necessary when the oven is

used by children.

  Do not store this appliance outdoors. Do not use

this product near water.

  Do not attempt to dry clothing or newspapers in

the microwave oven. These items can ignite.

  Do not use the cavity for storage purposes. Do

not leave paper products, cooking utensils, or
food in the  cavity when not in use.

Utensil safety

Most glass, glass ceramic and heat-resistant
glassware utensils are excellent for use in the
microwave oven. Although microwave energy will not
heat most glass and ceramic items, these utensils
can become hot as  heat transfers from the food to
the container. The use of oven gloves to remove
dishes is recommended.
