WARNING: Do not install the oven over a range cooktop or other heat-producing appliances.

If installed near or over a heat source, the oven could be damaged and the warranty would be void. The accessible surface may be hot during operation.

• THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT THE MICROWAVE o Your appliance works through microwave radiation which heats the water particles in food in a very short time. There is no radiation of heat and therefore hardly any browning. As a result, the appliance is not suitable for drying purposes. o Only warm up foodstuffs with this appliance. o The appliance is not suitable for deep fat frying / cooking. o Do not try to heat up overly large quantities, otherwise the appliance becomes less efficient. o Microwaves work at full capacity instantly. It is therefore not necessary to preheat the food. o The microwave oven does not replace your conventional oven. It is used mainly for: defrosting frozen food quickly warming up food or drinks conditional cooking of food o Only use suitable cookware such as: Glass, porcelain, ceramics, heat-proof plastic or special microwave containers.

• CONTROL PANEL AND FEATURES o Set the cooking power by turning the power knob to the desired level. o Set the cooking time by turning the timer knob to the desired time as per your cook- ing guide. o The microwave oven will automatically start cooking after the power level and time are set. o After the cooking time is up, the unit will "Dong" to stop. O If the unit is not in use, always set the time to "0".Gebrauchsanweisung ○ Mode d’emploi ○ Istruzioni per l’uso ○ Instruction for use

• CLEANING Be sure to unplug the appliance from the power supply. o Clean the cavity of the oven after use with a slightly damp cloth. o Clean the accessories in the usual way with soapy water. o The door frame and seal and adjacent parts must be cleaned carefully with a damp cloth when they are dirty. o Do not use harsh abrasive cleaners or sharp metal scrapers to clean the oven door glass since they can scratch the surface, which may result in the shattering of the glass. Cleaning Tip For easier cleaning of the cavity walls that the cooked food can touch: Place half a lemon in a bowl, add 300ml (1/2 pint) water and heat on 100% microwave power for 10 minutes. Wipe the oven clean using a soft, dry cloth.

• UTENSILS See the instructions on "Materials you can use in a microwave oven or to be avoided in a microwave oven". There may be certain non-metalic utensils that are not safe to use for mi- crowaving. If in doubt, you can test the utensil in question following the procedure below. o Utensil Test Fill a microwave-safe container with 1 cup of cold water (250ml) along with the utensil in question. Cook on maximum power for 1 minute. Carefully feel the utensil. If the empty utensil is warm, do not use it for microwave cooking. Do not exceed 1 minute cooking time.Gebrauchsanweisung ○ Mode d’emploi ○ Istruzioni per l’uso ○ Instruction for use

o Materials to be avoided in a microwave oven Utensils Remarks Aluminium tray May cause arcing. Transfer food into microwave-safe dish. Food carton with metal handle May cause arcing. Transfer food into microwave-safe dish. Metal or metal- trimmed utensils Metal shields the food from microwave energy. Metal trim may cause arcing. Metal twist ties May cause arcing and could cause a fire in the oven. Paper bags May cause a fire in the oven. Plastic foam Plastic foam may melt or contaminate the liquid inside when exposed to high temperatures. Wood Wood will dry out when used in the microwave oven and may split or crack.

o Materials you can use in microwave oven Utensils Remarks Browning dish Follow the manufacturer’s instructions. The bottom of the browning dish must be at least 5mm above the turntable. Incorrect usage may cause the turntable to break. Dinnerware Microwave-safe only. Follow the manufacturer's in- structions. Do not use cracked or chipped dishes. Glass jars Always remove the lid. Use only to heat food until just warm. Most glass jars are not heat resistant and may break. Glassware Heat-resistant oven glassware only. Make sure there is no metalic trim.

• TROUBLESHOOTING Normal Microwave oven interfering with the TV reception Radio and TV reception may be affected when the micro- wave oven is being used. It is similar to the interference of small electrical appliances, like mixers, vacuum cleaner and electric fan. It is normal. Dim oven light When cooking on low power, the oven light may become dim. It is normal. Steam accumulating on door, hot air out of vents When cooking, steam may come out of the food. Most will escape out of the vents. But some may accumulate on cool surfaces like oven door. It is normal. Oven started accidentally with no food in It is forbidden to run the unit without any food inside. It is very dangerous.Gebrauchsanweisung ○ Mode d’emploi ○ Istruzioni per l’uso ○ Instruction for use
