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.

1. Check to ensure that the control panel is programmed correctly and the timer is set.
2. 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.

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 personnel.
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.

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 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

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.

1. Relocate the microwave oven with respect to the receiver.
2. Move the microwave oven away from the receiver.
3. Plug the microwave oven into a different outlet so that microwave oven and receiver are on different branch circuits.

3. WARNING: When the appliance is operated in the combination mode, children should only use the oven under adult supervision due to the temperatures generated.

4. WARNING: Only allow children to use the oven without supervision when adequate instructions have been given so that the child is able to use the oven in a safe way and understands the hazards of improper use.

5. To reduce the risk of fire in the oven cavity:
   When heating food in plastic or paper container, check the oven frequently to the possibility of ignition.
   Remove wire twist-ties from paper or plastic bags before placing bag in oven.
   If smoke is observed, switch off or unplug the appliance and keep the door closed in order to stifle any flames.
   Do not use the cavity for storage purposes. Do not leave paper products, cooking utensils or food in the cavity when not in use.
6. WARNING: Liquid or other food must not be heated in sealed containers since they are liable to explode.
7. Microwave heating of beverage can result in delayed eruptive boiling, therefore care has to be taken when handle the container.
8. Do not fry food in the oven. Hot oil can damage oven parts and utensils and even result in skin burns.
9. Eggs in their shell and whole hard-boiled eggs should not be heated in microwave ovens since they may explode even after microwave heating has ended.
10. Pierce foods with heavy skins such as potatoes, whole squashes, apples and chestnuts before cooking.
11. The contents of feeding bottles and baby jars should be stirred or shaken and the temperature should be checked before

serving in order to avoid burns.

1. Cooking utensils may become hot because of heat transferred from the heated food. Potholders may be needed to handle the utensil.
2. Utensils should be checked to ensure that they are suitable for use in microwave oven.
3. WARNING: It is hazardous for anyone other than a trained person to carry out any service or repair operation which involves the removal of any cover which gives protection against exposure to microwave energy.
4. This product is a Group 2 Class B ISM equipment. The definition of Group 2 which contains all ISM (Industrial, Scientific and Medical) equipment in which radio-frequency energy is intentionally generated and/or used in the form of electromagnetic radiation for the treatment of material, and spark erosion equipment. For Class B equipment is equipment suitable for use in domestic establishments and in establishments directly connected to a low voltage power supply network which supplies buildings used for domestic purpose.

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 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.

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.

1. Round /oval dishes rather than square/oblong ones are recommend, as food in corners tends to overcook.
2. 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.
