• Turn food such as meatballs upside down in the middle of the cooking and replace them with each other from the center of the dish to the outside.

Grounding instructions
This appliance must be grounded. This oven has a grounding cable with a grounded plug. The appliance must be plugged to a wall outlet installed and grounded correctly. The grounding system allows a leak wire for the electrical current in case of a short circuit and reduces the risk of electric shock. We recommend using an electrical circuit dedicated to the oven. Operating with high voltage is dangerous and may cause fire or other accidents that would cause damage to the oven.

WARNING: Misuse of grounding plug may cause electric shock.

If you have any questions on grounding and electrical instructions, please consult a qualified electric technician or service personnel.

The manufacturer and/or dealer would not accept any responsibility for injuries or damages on the oven that may occur when electrical connection procedures are not followed.

Utensil test
Never operate the microwave oven empty. The only exception is the utensil test described in the following section. Some certain non-metal utensils may not be suitable for using in the microwave. If you are not sure whether your utensil is suitable for microwaves, you can perform the following test.

1. Place the empty utensil to be tested into the microwave oven together with a microwave-compatible glass filled with 250 ml water.
2. Operate the microwave oven at max power for 1 minute.
3. Check carefully the temperature of the utensil being tested. If it is warmed up, it is not suitable for use in the microwave.
4. Never exceed the operating time limit of 1 minute. If you notice arcing during 1 minute of operation, stop the microwave. Utensils causing arcing are not suitable for use in microwaves.

Following list is a general guide that would help you in selecting the right utensil.
