INSTALLATION

1. Make sure that all the packing materials are removed from the inside of the door.
   WARNING! Check the oven for any damage, such as misaligned or bent door, damaged door seals and sealing surface, broken or loose door hinges and latches and dents inside the cavity or on the door. If there is any damage, do not operate the oven and contact qualified service personnel.

2. This microwave oven must be placed on a flat, stable surface to hold its weight and the heaviest food likely to be cooked in the oven.

3. Do not place the oven where heat, moisture, or high humidity are generated, or near combustible materials.

4. For correct operation, the oven must have sufficient airflow. Allow a minimum of 20cm space above the oven, 10cm at the back and 5cm on both sides. Do not cover or block any openings on the appliance. Do not remove feet.

5. Do not operate the oven without glass tray, roller support, and shaft in their proper positions.

6. Make sure that the power supply cord is undamaged and does not run under the oven or over any hot or sharp surfaces.

7. The socket must be readily accessible so that it can be easily unplugged in an emergency.

8. Do not use the oven outdoors.

9. Place the oven as far away from radios and TV as possible. Operation of microwave oven may cause interference to your radio or TV reception.

10. This appliance must be grounded. This oven is equipped with a cord having a grounding wire with a grounding plug. It must be plugged into a wall socket that is properly installed and grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current. It is recommended that a separate circuit serving only the oven be provided. Using a high voltage is dangerous and may result in fire or other accidents or damage.

WARNING! Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock.

Please Note: If you have any questions about the grounding or electrical instructions, consult a qualified electrician or service person. Neither the manufacturer nor the dealer can accept any liability for damage to the oven or personal injury resulting from failure to observe the electrical connection procedures.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

1. To set cooking power turn the power dial to desired level.

2. To set the cooking time turn the timer dial to desired time per your food cooking guide.
   Please Note: To set a time for less than 2 minutes, turn the timer dial past the 2 minute setting and then turn back to the desired time.

3. The microwave oven will automatically start cooking once the timer has been turned.

4. After the cooking time is up, a beep will sound to indicate the microwave has stopped.

5. If the unit is not in use, always set time to “0”.

Please Note: When removing food from the oven, please ensure that the oven power is switched off by turning the timer dial to 0 (zero). Failure to do so, and operating the microwave oven without food in it, can result in overheating and damage to the appliance.

CLEANING & MAINTENANCE

1. Turn off the oven and unplug the power cord from the wall when cleaning.
2.  Keep the inside of the oven clean. When food splatters or is spilled liquids adhere to the oven walls, wipe with a damp cloth. Mild detergents may be used if the oven gets very dirty. Avoid using spray or other harsh cleaners. They may stain, streak or dull the door surface.
3. The outside of the oven should be cleaned with a damp cloth. To prevent damage to the operating parts inside the oven, water should not be allowed to seep into the ventilation openings.
4.  Wipe the door and window on both sides. Clean the door seals and adjacent parts frequently with a damp cloth to remove any spills or spatters. Do not use abrasive cleaners.
5. Do not allow the control panel to become wet. Clean with a soft, damp cloth. When cleaning the control panel, leave oven door open to prevent oven from accidentally turning on.
6. If steam accumulates inside or around the outside of the oven door, wipe with a soft cloth. This may occur when the microwave oven is operated under high humidity condition, and it is normal.
7. It is occasionally necessary to remove the glass tray for cleaning. Wash the tray in warm soapy water or put in a dishwasher.
8. The roller ring and oven floor should be cleaned regularly to avoid excessive noise. Simply wipe the bottom surface of the oven with mild detergent. The roller ring may be washed in mild, soapy water or in a dishwasher. When removing the roller ring, be sure to replace it in the correct position.
9. Remove odours from your oven by combining a cup of water with the juice and skin of one lemon in a microwaveable bowl. Microwave for 5 minutes. Wipe thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth.
10. If the light bulb burns out, please contact customer service to have it replaced.
11. The oven should be cleaned regularly, and any food deposits should be removed. Failure to maintain the oven in a clean condition could lead to deterioration of surfaces that could adversely affect the life of the unit and could possibly result in a hazardous situation.
