Read carefully and save for future use!

Warning: The safety measures and instructions, contained in this manual, do not include all conditions and situations possible. The user must understand that common sense, caution and care are factors that cannot be integrated into any product. Therefore, these factors shall be ensured by the user/s using and operating this appliance. We are not liable for damage caused during transportation, improper use, voltage fluctuation or any change or modification of any part of the appliance.

To protect against a risk of fire or electric shock, basic precautions shall be taken while using electrical appliances, including the following:

1. Make sure the voltage in your outlet corresponds to the voltage provided on the appliance label and that the socket is properly grounded. The outlet must be installed in accordance with applicable electrical codes according to EN.
2. Do not operate the oven if the door is damaged, it does not function correctly or the power cord is damaged. All repairs or adjustments including cord replacements should be performed by a professional service centre! Do not remove the protective cover from the appliance. Risk of electric shock or being exposed to microwave energy. Unplug the cord from outlet before repairing. Removing the cover with the cord plugged in can result in the service technician being exposed to microwave energy or electric shock!
3. Protect the appliance against direct contact with water and other liquids, to prevent potential electric shock. Do not immerse cord or plug in water!
4. Do not operate the microwave oven outdoors or in a moist environment and do not touch the cord or appliance with wet hands. Risk of electric shock.
5. Close supervision is necessary for operating the oven near children!
6. Do not leave the microwave oven running unattended.
7. Leaving the oven cord connected to outlet unattended is not recommended. Disconnect the cord from the electrical outlet prior to performing maintenance. Do not pull the cord from the outlet by yanking the cord. Unplug the cord from the outlet by grasping the plug.
8. Do not use the microwave oven near a source of heat, for example, stove hotplates. Protect the appliance against direct sunlight.
9. Do not allow the cord to touch hot surfaces or lead the cord over sharp edges.
10. Prevent fires inside the oven by observing the following:

a) Do not overheat food.

b) Remove any clips from paper or plastic bags before placing them into the oven.

c) Do not heat frying oils or grease in the oven, for oil temperatures cannot be regulated. Do not fry food inside the oven. Hot oil can damage parts of the oven and kitchen dishes and also cause burns.

d) Wipe the door, door seal and inside of the oven dry, using a damp cloth with detergent. All stains, greases and food residue are removed this way.

WARNING: The oven should not be operated, if the door or door seal is damaged, until repaired by a trained individual. The accumulated grease can overheat and could result in smoke or fire.

f) Do not leave the oven unattended when using disposable containers made of plastic, paper or other flammable materials.

1. Limit the risk of explosion or sudden boil by observing the following:

WARNING: Do not put hermetically sealed containers into the oven. Baby bottles with screw-on caps or pacifiers are also considered as sealed containers. This could lead to an explosion.

a) Use a container with a wide-mouth for heating liquids. After heating the liquid, leave it stand for 20 seconds to prevent an erupting boil.
b) Eggs in shells, hard-boiled eggs, water containing grease or oil and closed glass containers shall not be heated in the microwave oven because they can explode. Potatoes, frankfurters or chestnuts should be peeled or pricked before inserting them into the oven.
c) Do not remove liquids from the oven directly after heating. Wait a few seconds before removing liquids to prevent them from boiling over.
d) Stir or shake and check the temperature of baby bottles and canned baby food prior to serving to protect against burning.

1. Containers are very hot after being heated. Use oven mitts when removing containers from oven. Be careful not to burn your face and hands by coming into contact with hot steam.
2. Always lift the furthest edge of the lid or food wrap. Open popcorn bags and baking bags at a sufficient distance away from the face.
3. Protecting the turntable against breaking:

a) Let the turntable cool down before cleaning.
b) Do not place hot food or containers on a cold turntable.
c) Do not place frozen food or cold containers on a hot turntable.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Common
The microwave oven interferes with the television reception.	The microwave oven can interfere with the radio and television when operating. It is similar to the interference of small electrical appliances such as the blender, vacuum cleaner and electrical ventilator.
Steam is accumulated on the door, hot air is coming from vents.	Steam can be released from food while cooking. Most of the steam is released through the exhaust vents, though some can accumulate in a cooler place, such as the door. This effect is normal.
The oven was started empty by accident. The oven should not be operated empty. It is very dangerous.

Problem Possible cause	Correction
The oven will not start.	The power cord is not firmly plugged in the power outlet.	Unplug the cord from the outlet. Plug the cord back into the outlet after approximately 10 seconds.
	The fuse is blown or the circuit breaker is tripped.	Replace the fuse or reset the circuit breaker (repaired by a service technician from our company).
	Problem with the power outlet.	Try connecting another electrical appliance into the outlet.
The oven does not heat. The door is not properly closed. Close the door properly.
The turntable makes noises when the microwave oven is operating.	The turntable or the bottom of the oven are dirty.	Clean the oven according to the instructions stated in chapter “Cleaning.”
