1. Microwave is a kind of high frequency electromagnetic wave, which is commonly distributed in the nature. But the existing form of microwave is dispersed so that it cannot be collected together for heating purpose. The key component of magnetron of microwave oven will transform the energy of electricity to microwave and huge energy of microwave field is established under the closed cavity. So the molecule of food is caused to vibrate at very high speed and the friction heat produced will cook the food in a fast way.

2. There are 3 properties of microwave:

a. Absorbability: Microwave can cause the excess vibration of molecule on various food so as to obtain the heating purpose. But the infiltration ability is largely depending on the size, thickness and properties of the food.

b. Penetrability: Microwave can penetrate through ceramics, glass, temperature-resistant plastics. It is required to use the containers whose material have good microwave penetrability to achieve best heating result. Please see the below Cookware Guide.

c. Reflectivity: Microwave would be reflected by the metal wall of interior cavity so as to establish an even magnetic field, thus can prevent the overheating of partial area.

1. To ensure sufficient ventilation, the distance from the back of microwave to the wall should be above 10cm, the side to the wall above 5cm, the top to the ceiling above 20 cm.

2. Do not place any objects on the top of microwave oven.

3. Keep the microwave oven far from the TV, Radio or antenna as picture disturbance or noise may occur.

4. Keep the plug accessible to the socket.

5. This is designed as a freestanding style and should not be placed in a cabinet.

COOKWARE GUIDE

1. Ideal material should be transparent to microwave. Use clear or plain white cookware. It allows energy to pass through the container and heat food.

2. Do not use reflective materials such as stainless steel, aluminum foil, etc.

3. Do not use recycled paper products as they may contain small metals that can cause sparks or fire.

4. Use round containers rather than oblong and square containers because food in corners tend to be overcooked.

5. Use the table below as reference.

Material of container	Microwave	Grill	Conv	Combi	Notes
Heat-resistant ceramic	Yes	No	No	No	Never use the ceramics decorated with metal rim or glazed
Heat-resistant plastic	Yes	No	No	No	Can not be used for a long time microwave cooking
Heat-resistant glass	Yes	No	No	No
Grill rack	No	Yes	Yes	Yes
Plastic film	Yes	No	No	No	It should not be used when cooking meat or chops as High temperature may damage the film.

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

When using electrical appliance, basic safety precaution should be followed, including the following:

1. Read all instructions carefully.
2. Before using the unit, check if the voltage indicated corresponds with the convenience outlet (230Va.c.).
3. Do not use any appliance with a damaged cord or plug. If the cord is damaged it should be replaced with the same type and size or bring the unit to the nearest authorized service center.
4. Use the oven only for its intended use or as described in this manual. Do not use corrosive chemicals. This oven is not designed for industrial and laboratory use.
5. Do not operate the oven if empty.
6. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.
7. To reduce the risk of fire in the oven cavity:

a. When heating food in plastic or paper containers, check the oven frequently for possible ignition.

b. Remove wire twist-ties from paper or plastic bags before placing the bag in the oven.

c. Do not use the Microwave Oven cavity for storage purposes.

d. Do not use sealed containers since they may burst, use only microwave containers.

1. Contents of feeding bottles and baby food jars are to be stirred or shaken and check the temperature before consumption, in order to avoid burns. Heat from the food may transfer to the container, use path holders to avoid burns.

2. Cookware/containers should be checked to ensure that they are suitable for microwave use.
