Do not cook in a container with a restricted opening, such as a soft drink bottle or salad oil bottle, as they may
explode if heated in a microwave oven.

–
Clean doors and sealers;
–
Move the microwave oven away from the receiver;
–
Reorient the receiving antenna of radio or television.
–
Plug the microwave oven into a different outlet so that microwave oven and receiver are on different branch
circuits.
INSTALLATION

Make sure that all the packing materials are removed from the unit.
•
Check the oven for any damage in transit:
–
Misaligned or bent doors and sealers;
–
Housing and door window;
–
Inside surfaces.
•
If any damage occurs while using, switch off and unplug the oven and contact qualified service personnel.
•
Place the microwave oven on a flat, stable surface, able to hold its weight with a food to be cooked in the oven.
•
Do not place the oven where heat, moisture or high humidity are generated, or near flammable materials.
•
Do not place anything on the oven. Do not block any openings on the appliance.
•
For correct operation, the oven must have sufficient airflow. Allow 30 cm free space above the oven, 10 cm back and
7.5 cm from both sides.
MICROWAVE COOKING METHODS
•
Do not stack food. Arrange it in a single layer only. Place thicker pieces closer to dish edges.
•
Watch cooking time. Cook for the shortest amount of time indicated and add more if needed. Food severely
overcooked food may smoke or ignite.
NOTE
:
Cooking time may also vary depending on products shape, cut and arrangement.
•
Cover products with special microwave lids or plastic wrap with one corner folded back to let out excess steam. Lids
and glass casseroles are very hot – handle it carefully!
•
Rearrange food such as meatballs halfway through cooking both from the top to the bottom and the center of the dish
to the outside.
•
Round/oval dishes rather than square/oblong ones are recommended, as food in corners tends to overcook.
•
For best results remove all products from package, place at a shallow container or on a microwave cooking rack. The
Glass Turntable must be used every time.
•
Arrange such products as potatoes, cupcakes etc in a circle with at least 2.5 cm space between for uniform
treatment.
