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 indicat-
ed 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 microwave cooking 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.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
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 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 recommend-
ed 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 instruc-
tions, 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 to
microwave, it allows energy to pass through the container and
heat the food.
2. Microwave 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 recom-
mend, as food in corners tends to overcook.
5. Narrow strips of aluminum foil may be used to prevent overcook-
ing 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.
