• Prepare the food carefully. Place the thick parts towards the outside of the dish.

• Pay attention to the cooking duration. Cook the meal with the shortest time specified and add some more time if required. Overcooked food may cause smoke or catch fire.

• Cover the food while cooking. Covering the food prevents any splashing and helps ensure that the food is cooked evenly.

• Turn over food such as poultry and hamburgers once while cooking them in a microwave oven in order to accelerate the cooking processes of these kinds of food. Larger food such as roast must be turned over at least once.

• Turn food such as meatballs upside down in the middle of the cooking process and change their places from the centre of the dish towards the outside.

3.4 Grounding instructions

This appliance should certainly be grounded. This appliance has a grounding cable with a grounded plug. The appliance must be plugged into a wall outlet installed and grounded correctly.

Grounding system allows a leak wire for the electrical current in case of a short circuit and reduces the risk of electric shock. It is recommended to use an electrical circuit dedicated to this appliance. Operating with high voltage is dangerous and may cause fire or other accidents that would cause damage to the appliance.

WARNING: Misuse of grounding plug may cause electric shock.

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

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.

Cores inside the power cable are colour-coded as follows:

Green and Yellow = GROUND

Blue = NEUTRAL

Brown = LIVE

3.5 Oven wares

• Ideal material for the microwave oven wares are materials that conduct microwave, these mate rials allows energy to get through the oven ware and allows the food to be heated.

• Microwave cannot penetrate through metals; therefore, metal or metal ornamented oven wares must not be used.

• Do not use recycled paper products for micro wave cooking as they may include small metallic parts that may cause sparks and/or fire.

• It is recommended to use round/oval dishes in stead of square/rectangular dishes as the food on the edges may be overheated.

• You may use narrow aluminium foil straps in order to prevent the exposed pieces from being overcooked. However, please be careful! Do not use it excessively and keep a distance of 2.5 cm (1 inch) between the foil and inner surface of the appliance.
