SPECIFICATIONS

BEFORE FIRST USE

Remove the appliance and its accessories from the packaging. Before disposing of the packaging, be sure to remove all components. Check the appliance and accessories for damage.

Installation

1. Make sure you remove any packaging material such as plastic bags,  polystyrene, etc. from the inside of the oven.
2. Check the oven for any damage, e.g. poorly seated or dented oven door, damaged door seals or loose door hinges or locks. If damage is found, do not use the oven and contact a qualified service technician.
3. The microwave oven must be placed on a flat, stable surface that can support its weight even with food loaded.
4. Do not place the oven near heat sources, in areas of high humidity or near combustible materials.
5. Adequate clearance around the microwave oven is essential to ensure proper operation. Leave at least 20 cm of free space above the top of the oven, 10 cm at the back and 5 cm at the sides. Do not cover or block the ventilation openings. Do not remove the oven legs.
6. Do not use the oven without the turntable, carrier and shaft installed.
7. Make sure that the power cord is not placed under the bottom of the oven or in contact with hot or sharp surfaces.
8. The outlet must remain easily accessible so that the plug can be pulled  out quickly if necessary.
9. Do not use the microwave outdoors.

Warning: Do not remove the magnetron cover, which is located on the right side of the oven interior.

Grounding instructions
This microwave oven must be grounded. The microwave oven is equipped with a power cord that has a ground wire with a grounding plug. The plug must be connected to an outlet that is properly installed and grounded. Grounding reduces the risk of electric shock. The electric current is conducted through the earthing wire during a short circuit.  We recommend that the oven is connected to a separate electrical circuit. High voltage is dangerous and can cause fire or damage to the oven.
Warning: An incorrectly earthed socket can cause a risk of electric shock.
Note: If you have questions about grounding or electrical instructions, contact a qualified electrician or repairman. Neither the manufacturer nor the seller is responsible for any damage to the oven or injury caused by improper electrical wiring.
Radio interference
Operation of the microwave oven may cause interference with the radio, TV or similar equipment. If you notice interference, take the following steps to reduce or eliminate the interference.

1. Clean the door and door seals.
2. Relocate the radio or TV antenna.
3. Point the microwave away from the receiver.
4. Move the microwave further away from the receiver.
5. Plug the power plug of the microwave oven into a different outlet so that the oven and receiver are on separate electrical circuits.

USE OF THE MICROWAVE OVEN

Before use, make sure the rotating plate is installed correctly. When the microwave oven is in operation, the plate must rotate freely.

1. Plug the power plug into a mains socket.
2. Place the food you want to heat in a microwave-safe container. Open the oven door and place the food container on the rotating plate.
3. Close the oven door and use the power dial to set the desired power and the timer dial to set the heating time.
   Rotary knob| Power in %| Description
   ---|---|---
   Low| 20 %| Low power
   
   Defrost| 42 %| Defrosting
   
   M. Low| 52 %| Medium-low power
   
   Medium| 73 %| Medium power
   
   M. High| 88 %| Medium-high power
   
   Hige| 100 %| High power

Attention: Do not leave the microwave unattended while it is in operation.

4. f you need to check the condition of the food during heating, open the door. The microwave will stop automatically. Close the door to continue heating.
5. The microwave will automatically switch off after the set time has elapsed. If you need to stop heating early, set the timer dial to 0.
6. Remove the food container from the microwave. Dishes can become hot due to heat transfer from heated food. We recommend using protective kitchen gloves.
7. Check the temperature of the food before consumption.

Principles of microwave cooking

1. Arrange the food carefully. Place thicker pieces of food around the perimeter of the container.
2. Set the cooking time correctly. We recommend setting a shorter time, and extending it if necessary. Smoke or ignition may occur when food is cooked at high temperatures.
3. Cover the food before preparation. This prevents splashing of juices and heats the food evenly.
4. To speed up the preparation of certain foods, such as chicken or hamburgers, turn them once during preparation. Larger pieces of food, such as roasts, must be turned several times.
5. For some foods, such as meatballs, re-align both top to bottom and center to edge during preparation.

Microwave-safe kitchenware

1. Microwaves cannot penetrate metal, so it is important to choose the right cookware to use in the microwave. Do not use metal utensils to heat food or drink unless the manufacturer specifies the exact type and shape of metal utensils.
2. Do not use cookware with a metal rim or glaze that contains metal.
3. Do not use recycled paper utensils as they may contain small amounts of metal parts that can cause sparks and/or fire.
4. Round/oval cookware is preferable to square cookware, as food pieces in the cornerstend to overheat.
5. Thin slices of aluminium foil can be used to cover thin or fragile parts of food. But be careful not to use too much aluminium foil. It is important that the distance between the aluminium foil and the inner wall is greater than 2.5 cm.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Before cleaning, switch off the oven and disconnect the power plug from the mains socket. Keep the inside of the oven clean. Wipe off food and liquid residues with a soft,  slightly dampened sponge. If the interior is heavily soiled, use a small amount of dishwashing liquid applied to a sponge. Do not use sprays or other harsh cleaning agents. They can leave stains or smudges. Wipe the outer surface with a soft, slightly dampened sponge. To prevent damage to the operating parts inside the oven, ensure that water does not enter the oven interior through the ventilation holes. Regularly wipe the door and window on both sides, the door seals and adjacent surfaces with a soft and slightly damp sponge to remove stains and dirt. Do not use harsh cleaning agents. Do not use a steam cleaner to clean the oven. Prevent the control panel from getting wet. Wipe it with a clean, dry cloth. When cleaning the control panel, leave the door open to prevent the oven from accidentally starting up. If steam builds up inside the oven and outside the door, wipe it off with a dry cloth. Steam can build up when preparing foods with a high water content. This is a normal occurrence. Clean the rotating plate regularly. Wash it in warm water with a little dishwashing  liquid. You can also wash it in the dishwasher. Clean the rotating plate carrier and the bottom of the microwave regularly to prevent excessive noise. Wipe the bottom with a soft and slightly dampened sponge. Wash it in warm water with a little dishwashing liquid. You can also wash it in the dishwasher. When installing it back into the oven, make sure it is properly seated on the shaft. If you need to remove an unpleasant smell from inside the oven, pour water into a larger bowl and add the juice and zest of one lemon. Turn on the microwave for 5 minutes. Then wipe the inner walls with a sponge and then with a dry cloth. If a fluorescent bulb inside the oven breaks, contact an authorised service centre.  The oven must be cleaned regularly and food residues removed. Failure to do so may damage the finish of the oven interior, which may adversely affect the life of the oven and create a hazardous situation.

Warning: To avoid the risk of electric shock, do not immerse the appliance, power cord or plug in water or other liquid.

Before contacting an authorised service centre

Check the following before contacting an authorised service centre:

• Check that the power supply plug is correctly plugged into the mains socket. If not, remove it, wait 10 seconds and then plug it in.
• Check if the circuit breaker has tripped. If everything seems fine, test the socket by plugging in and switching on another appliance.
• Check that you have selected the correct preparation and set the preparation time.
• Check that the door is properly opened. Otherwise, the oven cannot be started.

IF THE PROBLEM IS NOT LISTED ABOVE OR PERSISTS, TURN OFF THE MICROWAVE OVEN, UNPLUG THE POWER PLUG FROM THE POWER OUTLET AND CONTACT AN AUTHORIZED SERVICE CENTER. IT IS FORBIDDEN TO REPAIR OR MODIFY THE MICROWAVE OVEN. THE OVEN DOES NOT CONTAIN ANY PARTS SERVICEABLE BY THE USER
