(f) WARNING : Only allow children to use the oven without supervision when adequate instructions have been given so that the child is able to use the oven in a safe way and understands the hazards of improper use.

EARTHING INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance must be earthed. In the event of an electrical short circuit, earthing reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current. This appliance is equipped with a cord having a earthing wire with a earthing plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and earthed.
WARNING: Improper use of the earthing plug can result in a risk of electric shock. Consult a qualified electrician or serviceman if the earthing instructions are not completely understood, or if doubt exists as to whether the appliance is properly earthed. If it is necessary to use an extension cord, use only a 3-wire extension cord that has a 3-blade earthing plug, and a 3-slot receptacle that will accept the plug on the appliance. The marked rating of the extension cord should be equal to or greater than the electrical rating of the appliance.

INSTALLATION

  1. Steady, flat location
    This oven should be set on a steady, flat surface. This oven is designed for counter top use only.

  2. Leave space behind and side
    All air vents should be kept a clearance. If all vents are covered during operation, the oven may overheat and, eventually, oven failure.

  3. Away from radio and TV sets
    Poor television reception and radio interference may result if the oven is located close to a TV, Radio antenna, feeder and so on. Position the oven as far from them as possible.

  4. Away from heating appliance and water taps
    Keep the oven away from hot air, steam or splash when choosing a place to position it, or the insulation might be adversely affected and breakdowns occur.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING : To prevent fire, burns, electric shock and other warnings:
Listed below are, as with all appliances, certain rules to follow and safeguards to assure top performance from this oven:

  1.  Do not use the oven for any reason other than food preparation, such as for drying clothes, paper, or any other nonfood items or for sterilizing purposes.
  2. Do not use the oven when empty, this could damage the oven.
  3. Do not use the oven cavity for any type of storage, such as papers, cookbook, cookware, etc.
  4. Do not operate the oven without the glass tray in place. Be sure it is properly sitting on the rotating base.
  5. Make sure you remove caps or lids prior to cooking when you cook food sealed in bottles.
  6. Do not put foreign material between the oven surface and door. It could result in excessive leakage of microwave energy.
  7. Do not use recycled paper products for cooking. They may contain impurities which could cause sparks and/or fires when used during cooking.
  8. Do not pop popcorn unless popped in a microwave approved popcorn popper or unless it’s commercially packaged and recommended especially for microwave ovens. Microwave popped corn produces a lower yield than conventional popping; there will be a number of unpopped kernels. Do not use oil unless specified by the manufacturer.
  9. Do not cook any food surrounded by a membrane, such as egg yolks, potatoes, chicken livers, etc., without first piercing them several times with a fork. 1
  10. Do not pop popcorn longer than the manufacturer’s directions. (popping time is generally below 3 minutes). Longer cooking does not yield more popped corn, it can cause scorchings and fire. Also, the cooking tray can become too hot to handle or may break.
  11. If smoke is observed, switch off or unplug the appliance and keep the door closed in order to stifle any flames.
  12. When heating food in plastic or paper containers, check the oven frequently due to the possibility of ignition.
  13. The contents of feeding bottles and baby food jars are to be stirred or shaken and the temperature is to be checked before consumption, in order to avoid burns.
  14. Always test the temperature of food or drink which has been heated in a microwave oven before you give it to somebody, especially to children or elderly people. This is important because things which have been heated in a microwave oven carry on getting hotter even though the microwave oven cooking has stopped.
  15. Eggs in their shell and whole hard-boiled eggs shall not be heated in microwave ovens since they may explode.
  16. Keep the waveguide cover clean at all times. Wipe the oven interior with a soft damp cloth after each use. If you leave grease or fat anywhere in the cavity it may overheat, smoke or even catch fire when next using the oven.
  17. Never heat oil or fat for deep frying as you cannot control the temperature and doing so may lead to overheating and fire.
  18. Microwave heating of beverages can result in delayed eruptive boiling, therefore care has to be taken when handling the container. 1
  19. a) Be cautions about touching parts other than control panel during or immediately following grill or combi cooking.
    b) Always use hot pads or oven mitts when placing or removing food and/or accessories from the oven.

COOKING UTENSILS

Utensils should be checked to ensure that they are suitable for use in microwave ovens.
Microwave energy is produced by high frequency radio waves. They are reflected from metal, but will pass through most cooking utensils without heating them.
As the waves come into contact with the food, they are converted into heat energy. Listed below are the suggested cooking utensils for this microwave oven and when to use them.
Before use, the user should check that utensils are suitable for use in microwave ovens.

1. Without metal parts or metal trims.
2. Some plastics are heat-proof only to certain temperature. Check carefully!
3. It is possible to use aluminum foil to shield delicate areas of food.(This prevents over-cooking.)
4. Metal tins can be used in the combination methods, however if these are very deep, they will greatly
reduce the efficiency, as metal shields the microwave energy from the food.

CARE AND CLEANING

Although your oven is provided with safety features, it is important to observe the following:

  1. It is important not to defeat or tamper with safety interlocks.

  2. Do not place any object between the oven front face and the door or allow residue to accumulate on sealing surfaces. Wipe the sealing area frequently with a mild detergent, rinse and dry. Never use abrasive powders or pads.

  3. When opened, the door must not be subjected to strain, for example, a child hanging on an opened door or any load could cause the oven to fall forward to cause injury and also damage to the door. Do not operate the oven if it is damaged, until it has been repaired by a trained service technician.
    It is particularly important that the oven closes properly and that there is no damage to the:
    i) Door(bent)
