1. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
The following requirements should be strictly observed in order to avoid situations hazardous for human life and health, as well as premature failures of the appliance:
- Before connecting the appliance to the power supply grid, ensure that its specifications correspond to the nominal voltage of the appliance. Do not use socket adapters as these may be the cause of a fire.
- Do not use accessories and spare parts other than supplied by the Manufacturer. If such parts are used the Manufacturer’s warranty will become void.
- Do not operate the appliance if its power cable, plug and other parts are damaged.
- In case of power cable damage it should be replaced, to avoid dangerous situations, by the Manufacturer, a service centre or similar skilled personnel.
- A slight unpleasant odor may occur during the first use; it will disappear after using the appliance several times and is caused by eventual residues of lubricants and other substances on internal surfaces and on heating elements. We recommend heating up a cup of water several times before the first use.
- The appliance should be installed in such a way that there is a gap between it and other objects.
- Do not obstruct the ventilation openings to avoid overheating.
- Do not use the appliance if the door latches are not operational.
- After use disconnect the plug from the electric socket and ensure that it is not placed directly on the appliance, near sources of fire or water.

ADVICE ON FOOD DEFROSTING
Microwaves do not penetrate most foods by more than 4 cm. Follow the guidelines below to improve the defrosting efficiency:
- Stir the food during defrosting to obtain uniform heating.
- If the weight of food exceeds 0.5 kg it should be turned over at least twice.
- Defrosted foods should be cooked as soon as possible, repeated freezing should be avoided.
| Food | Weight | Defrosting time |
|---|---|---|
| Meat | 0.1 ~ 1.0 кг | 1:30 ~ 26:00 min |
| Chicken | 0.2 ~ 1.0 кг | 2:30 ~ 22:00 min |
| Seafood | 0.1 ~ 0.9 кг | 1:30 ~ 14:00 min |
COOKING RECOMMENDATIONS
FOOD PLACEMENT IN THE OVEN
Place larger and thicker pieces near the sides of the plate and thinner pieces
in the center. Try to place the pieces uniformly, so that they do not cover
each other.
COOKING TIME
Start cooking by choosing a shorter time period and increase it as necessary.
UNIFORM COOKING
Turn foods such as chicken, hamburgers or steaks at least once during the
cooking process. Depending on the type of food it is recommended to stir it
several times from the sides to the center.
AFTER COOKING
Upon completion of the cooking leave the food inside the oven for some time to
let the cooking process end and for the food to cool down a little.
CHECKING THE DONENESS OF THE FOOD
Take reference to the color and density/hardness of the food. Steam should
emerge from the whole surface of the dish, not only on the sides. Fowl bones
should easily separate from the flesh
Meat should be free from blood. Fish should be non-transparent and easily
broken apart with a fork.
SAFE USE OF PLASTIC PACKAGING
Some types of plastic utensils are not designed for preparing food with high
fat and sugar content in microwave ovens.
5. MAINTENANCE
– Disconnect the power cable from the power socket.
– Wash the microwave oven regularly, remove all food residues, fat and other
contaminants.
– Use only mild non-abrasive detergents, sponges or soft cloth to clean the
door, housing, door glass and inner walls of the chamber. Do not use hard
sponges and brushes with metallic particles. These can scratch the surface of
