SAFETY MEASURES TO PREVENT THE POSSIBLE RISK OF EXPOSURE TO MICROWAVE ENERGY

1) Do not attempt to operate the microwave oven with the door open - you could expose yourself to harmful microwaves. It is important not to defect or tamper with the safety interlocks.

2) Do not place any object between the oven front part and the door or allow soil or cleaner residue to accumulate on sealing surfaces.

3) Do not operate the oven if it is damaged. It is particularly important to close the oven door properly in order to avoid damaging the following parts:

a. door (bent),
b. hinges and latches (broken or loosened),
c. door seals and other parts

4) The microwave oven may only be adjusted or repaired by a qualified service agent.

BEFORE YOU CALL FOR SERVICE

If the microwave oven fails to operate:

1) Make sure the oven is plugged in securely. If it is not, remove the plug from the socket, wait 10 seconds and plug it in again securely.
2) Make sure there is no blown circuit fuse or a triplex main circuit breaker. If these seem to be operating properly, test the socket with another appliance.
3) Make sure the control panel is programmed correctly and the timer is set.
4) Make sure the door is securely closed to engage the door safety lock system. Otherwise, the microwave energy will not flow into the oven.

IF NONE OF THE ABOVE RECTIFIES THE SITUATION, CONTACT A QUALIFIED SERVICE AGENT. DO NOT TRY TO ADJUST OR REPAIR THE OVEN YOURSELF.

INSTALLATION

1) Make sure all the packing materials, such as plastic bags, polystyrene etc., are removed from the inside of the oven.
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. In case of any damage, do not operate the oven and contact a qualified servise agent.
3) The 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 higher humidity is generated, or near combustible materials.
5) To ensure the correct operation, the oven must have sufficient air flow. Keep 20cm free space above the oven, 10cm at back and 5cm at both sides. Do not cover or block any events of the oven. Do not remove the oven's feet.
6) Your product has been designed for use as a stand-alone device. It has not been designed to be used as a built-in appliance.
7) Do not operate the oven without installing the glass tray, the roller ring and power device.
8) Make sure the supply cord is not damaged, placed under the oven or in contact with any hot or sharp surface.
9) Make sure that the electric power socket is easy to reach in case of a quick disconnection of the power cord out of the socket.
10) Do not use the oven outdoors.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

This microwave oven must be grounded. The oven is equipped with a power cord having a grounding wire with a grounding plug. The plug must be connected to the electric power point which is correctly installed and 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. It is recommended to connect the oven to a separate electrical circuit. Using high voltage is danegrous and may cause fire or different accident resulting in damage to the oven.

WARNING!

Incorrect grounding socket can lead to the risk of electric shock.

Note:

1) If you have any questions concerning the grounding or electrical instructions, consult them with a qualified electrician or service agent.
2) Neither the manufacturer or dealer is responsible for any damages to the oven or physical injuries incurred by the negligence to adhere to the correct electrical connection procedures.

RADIO INTERFERENCE

When using the oven, your radio, television or similar equipment may be disturbed.

In case of interference, it may be reduced or eliminated by taking the following procedures:

1) Maintain the door and the sealing of the oven surface clean.
2) Redirect the radio or television antenna receiver.
3) Move the microwave oven further from the receiver.
4) Plug the microwave oven to a different socket with an independent electrical circuit.

MICROWAVE COOKING PRINCIPLES

1) Arrange the food carefully. Place the thickest pieces around the edge of the dish.
2) Do not prepare the food directly on the glass tray. Always place the food into the appropriate dish before inserting into the oven.
3) Set the cooking time correctly. Use short time for cooking and add more if needed. Cooking food at high temperatures may caused smoke or ignition.
4) Cover the food while cooking. Covering the food prevents juices from squirting and helps food to heat evenly.
5) To increase the speed of cooking food, such as chickens and hamburgers, turn them over once during cooking. Large pieces of food such as roasts must be turned over at least once.
6) Rearrange similar types of food such as meatballs during cooking from back to front and from the centre to the edge.

KITCHENWARE GUIDE

1) Transparent dishes are ideal for microwave cooking as they enable the penetration of microwaves and heat the food.
2) Microwaves can not penetrate through metal thus hence metal dishes or bowls with a metal rim should not be used.
3) Do not used recycled paper products for microwave cooking as they can contain small metal fragments.
4) Use round/oval dishes rather than square/rectangular ones, food in corners has a tendency to over-cook.
5) You should only use dishes suitable for microwave use in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.
