WARNING: Electric Shock Hazard Improper use of the grounding can result in electric shock. Do not plug into an outlet until appliance is properly installed and grounded. This appliance must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current. This appliance is equipped with a cord having a grounding wire with a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded. Consult a qualified electrician or serviceman if the grounding instructions are not completely understood or if doubt exists as to whether the appliance is properly grounded. If it is necessary to use an extension cord, use only a 3-wire extension cord that has a 3-pronged grounding plug, and a 3-slot receptacle that will accept the plug on the appliance. 1. A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risks resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. 2. Longer cord sets or extension cord is provided to reduce the risks resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. 3. If a long cord set or extension cord is used: i. The marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance. ii. The extension cord must be a grounding-type 3-wire cord. iii. The longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the counter top or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally. Utensils CAUTION: Personal Injury Hazard Tightly-closed utensils could explode. Closed containers should be opened and plastic pouches pierced before cooking. See next page for further instructions “Materials you can use in microwave oven or to be avoided in micro-wave oven.”There may be certain non-metallic utensils that are not safe to use for microwaving.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engineQuestions and Answers Q: Why is there noise coming from the turntable when the oven is turned on? This noise occurs when some eye winkers exist between the turntable roller rest and cavity bottom. Frequent cleaning of these parts should eliminate or reduce the noise. Q: Why is there noise coming from the oven when using a lower power level? When cooking with power other than 100%, the oven automatically turns on and off to obtain lower power output. The clicking noise can be heard when the oven switches on and off. This is normal. Q: Why is there steam coming out of the air exhaust vent? Steam is produced during cooking. The microwave oven has been made to vent this steam. Q: Why do eggs sometimes pop? The egg yolk may poop because of steam build-up inside the membrane. Pierce the membrane with a toothpick before cooking it. Never microwave eggs in the shell since they may explode. Cleaning

Wipe the oven inside and outside with a soft cloth and a mild detergent solution. Then rinse and wipe dry. This should be done on a weekly basis, more often if needed. Never use cleaning powders or rough pads. Excessive oil splatters on the inside top will be difficult to remove if left for many days. Wipe splatters with a wet paper towel, especially after cooking chicken or bacon. Removable Parts 1. The turntable may be cleaned at the sink. Be careful not to chip or scratch the edges as this may cause the turntable to break during use.

2. The turntable roller rest should be cleaned regularly. Special Care For

best performance and safety, the inner door panel and the oven front frame should be free of food. Notes 1. Before commissioning this oven please read this instruction manual and keep it carefully. 2. There must be more than 30 cm high space necessary above the top surface of oven. 3. Do not repair the oven yourself, please consult an authorized expert. 4. The contents of feeding bottles and baby food jars are to be stirred or shaken and the temperature is to be checked before consumption, in order to avoid burns. 5. Check the oven and the cable regularly for damage. If there is any kind of damage, the oven should not be used.
