• Do not place any object between the oven front face and the door or allow dirt or cleaner residue to accumulate on sealing surfaces.

Details for cleaning door seals, cavities and adjacent parts.

The oven should be cleaned regularly and any food deposits removed.

Failure to maintain the oven in a clean condition could lead to deterioration of the surface that could adversely affect the life of the appliance and possibly result in a hazardous situation.

See below in chapter CLEANING for how to clean.

CLEANING

If the apparatus is not kept in a good state of cleanliness, its surface could become degraded and affect the lifespan of the apparatus and lead to a dangerous situation.

Be sure to unplug the appliance from the power supply.

- Keep the inside of the oven clean. When food splatters or spilled liquids adhere to oven walls, wipe with a damp cloth. Mild detergent may be used if the oven gets very dirty. Avoid the use of spray and other harsh cleaners as they may stain, streak or dull the door surface.

- Do not place any object between the oven front face and the door or allow dirt or cleaner residue to accumulate on sealing surfaces.

- The outside surfaces should be cleaned with a damp cloth. To prevent damage to the operating parts inside the oven, water should not be allowed to seep into the ventilation openings.

- Wipe the door and window on both sides, the door seals and adjacent parts frequently with a damp cloth to remove any spills or spatters. Do not use abrasive cleaner.

- Do not allow the control panel to become wet. Clean with a soft, damp cloth. When cleaning the control panel, leave oven door open to prevent oven from accidentally turning on.

• If steam accumulates inside or around the outside of the oven door, wipe with a soft cloth. This may occur when the microwave oven is operated under high humidity condition. And it is normal.
• It is occasionally necessary to remove the glass tray for cleaning. Wash the tray in warm sudsy water or in a dishwasher.

TWO-ROUND-PIN PLUG

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.

Line drawing of a plug with two leads (no text or symbols)

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 service engineer 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.

A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risks resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.

If a long cord set or extension cord is used:

• The marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance.
• The extension cord must be a grounding type 3-wire cord.
• The long 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.

INSTALLATION

NOTE: This device may in no circumstances be installed in a cabinet or built-in into a wall space.

For correct operation, the oven must have sufficient airflow.

• Leave a minimum clearance of 5 cm at both sides.
• Leave a minimum clearance of 20 cm above the oven.
• Leave a minimum clearance of 10 cm at the back of the oven.

- Do not remove the legs from the bottom of the oven.

- Blocking the inlet and/or outlet openings can damage the oven.

- Place the oven as far away from radios and TV as possible. Operation of the microwave oven may cause interference to your radio or TV reception.

Plug your oven into a standard household outlet. Be sure the voltage and the frequency are the same as the voltage and the frequency on the rating label.

COOKING PRINCIPLES AND TIPS FOR BETTER RESULT

• Arrange food carefully. Distribute the food even on the plate.
• Monitor the cooking time. Cook for the shortest amount of time indicated and add more if needed. Food severely overcooked can smoke or ignite.
• Cover foods while cooking. Covers prevent spattering and help foods to cook evenly.
• Turn food 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.
• 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

• The ideal material for a microwave utensil is transparent to microwave, it allows energy to pass through the container and heat the food.
• Microwave cannot penetrate metal, so metal utensils or dishes with metallic trim should not be used.
• Do not use recycled paper products when microwave cooking, as they may contain small metal fragments which may cause sparks and/or fires.
• Round /oval dishes rather than square/oblong ones are recommend, as food in corners tends to overcook.
• 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 (2.54 cm) between foil and cavity.

The list below is a general guide to help you select the correct utensils:

Cookware Microwave
Heat-Resistant Glass Yes
Non Heat-Resistant Glass No
Heat-Resistant Ceramics Yes
Microwave-Safe Plastic Dish Yes
Kitchen Paper Yes
Metal Tray No

TROUBLESHOOTING

Before you contact any service agent please make sure that you have read and checked possible causes stated in the information below.

Normal
Microwave oven interfering with TV reception	Radio and TV reception may be interfered with when microwave oven operating. It is similar to the interference from small electrical appliances, like mixers, vacuums cleaners, and electric fans and is quite normal.
Dim oven light In low power microwave cooking, the oven light may become dim. This is normal.
Steam accumulating on door, hot air coming out of vents	During cooking, steam may come out of food. Most will escape through the vents but some may accumulate on cool places like the oven door. This is normal.
Oven starts accidentally with no food in.	It is forbidden to run the unit without any food inside. This is very dangerous.

Problem Possible Cause	Remedy
Oven fails to operate.	Power cord not plugged in tightly.	Unplug. Then plug in again after 10 seconds.
	Fuse blows or circuit breaker activated.	Replace fuse or reset circuit breaker (must be repaired by a professional service agent)
	Not responding only double beeps.	Ensure that the control panel is correctly programmed and that the timer is set.
	Problem with outlet. Test outlet with other electrical appliances.
Oven does not heat.	Door not closed properly. Close door properly.
Glass turntable makes noise when microwave oven operates	Roller rest and oven bottom are dirty.	Refer to “Maintenance of Microwave” for cleaning dirty parts.

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