TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY TO PERSONS GROUNDING INSTALLATION

DANGER
Electric Shock Hazard Touching some of the internal components can cause serious personal injury or death. Do not disassemble this appliance.

WARNING
Electric Shock Hazard Improper use of the grounding can result in electric shock. Do not plug into an outlet until the appliance is properly installed and grounded.

This appliance must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current. This appliance is equipped with a cord having a grounding wire with a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded.

Consult a qualified electrician or serviceman if the grounding instructions are not completely understood or if doubt exists as to whether the appliance is properly
grounded. If it is necessary to use an extension cord, use only a 3-wire extension cord.

A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risks resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
If a long cord set or extension cord is used:

1)The marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance.
2)The extension cord must be a grounding-type 3-wire cord.
3)The long cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally.

CLEANING

Be sure to unplug the appliance from the power supply.

Clean the cavity of the oven after using a slightly damp cloth.
Clean the accessories in the usual way in soapy water.
The door frame and seal and neighboring parts must be cleaned carefully with a damp cloth when they are dirty.
Do not use harsh abrasive cleaners or sharp metal scrapers to clean the oven door glass since they can scratch the surface, which may result in the shattering of the glass.
Cleaning Tip—For easier cleaning of the cavity walls that the food cooked can touch: Place half a lemon in a bowl, add 300ml (1/2 pint) water, and heat on 100% microwave power for 10 minutes. Wipe the oven clean using a soft, dry cloth.

PERSONAL INJURY HAZARD

It is hazardous for anyone other than a competent person to carry out any service or repair operation that involves the removal of a cover that gives protection against exposure to microwave energy.

UTENSILS CAUTION

See the instructions on ”Materials you can use in microwave oven or to be avoided in a microwave oven.” There may be certain non-metallic utensils that are not safe to use for microwaving. If in doubt, you can test the utensil in question following the procedure below.

Utensil Test:

Fill a microwave-safe container with 1 cup of cold water (250ml) along with the utensil in question.
Cook on maximum power for 1 minute.
Carefully feel the utensil. If the empty utensil is warm, do not use it for microwave cooking.
Do not exceed 1 minute of cooking time.

MATERIALS YOU CAN USE IN MICROWAVE OVEN

Materials that can be used/placed in a microwave oven:

Browning dish| Follow manufacturer’s instructions. The bottom of the browning dish must be at least 3/16 inches (5mm) above the turntable. Incorrect usage may cause the turntable to break.
---|---
Dinnerware|

Microwave-safe only. Follow manufacturer’s instructions. Do not use cracked or chipped dishes.

Do not use cracked or chipped dishes.
Oven cooking bags| Follow manufacturer’s instructions. Do not close with a metal tie. Make slits to allow steam to escape.
Paper plates and cups| Use for short–term cooking/warming only. Do not leave the oven unattended while cooking.
Paper towels| Use to cover food for reheating and absorbing fat. Use with supervision for short-term cooking only.
Parchment paper| Use as a cover to prevent splattering or a wrap for steaming.
Plastic|

Microwave-safe only. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions. Should be labeled ”Microwave Safe”. Some plastic containers soften, as the food inside gets hot. ”Boiling bags” and tightly closed plastic bags should be slit, pierced or vented as directed by the package.

Plastic wrap|

Microwave-safe only. Use to cover food during cooking to retain moisture. Do not allow plastic wrap to touch food.

Thermometers| Microwave-safe only (meat and candy thermometers).
Wax paper| Use as a cover to prevent splattering and retain moisture.
Aluminum trays| Can cause sparks. Transfer the food to a microwave-safe vessel.
Food boxes with metal handles| Can cause sparks. Transfer the food to a microwave-safe vessel.
Metal vessels or vessels with metal parts| Metal shields the food from microwave energy. Metal decorations/ parts can cause sparks.
Metal bag closers| Can cause sparks and fires in the oven.
Paper bags| Can cause fires in the oven.
Plastic foam| When exposed to high temperatures, plastic foam can melt or can poison the liquid it contains.
Wood| If used in a microwave oven, the wood dries out and may crack.

INSTALLING THE MICROWAVE OVEN

If the glass tray or turntable ring assembly cracks or breaks, contact your nearest authorized service center.

COUNTERTOP INSTALLATION

Remove all packing material and accessories. Examine the oven for any damage such as dents or broken doors. Do not install if the oven is damaged. Cabinet: Remove any protective film found on the microwave oven cabinet surface. Do not remove the light brown Mica cover that is attached to the oven cavity to protect the magnetron.

INSTALLATION

Select a level surface that provides enough open space for the intake and/or outlet vents.

• The minimum installation height is 85cm.
• The rear surface of the appliance shall be placed against a wall.
• Leave a minimum clearance of 30cm above the oven, a minimum clearance of 20cm is required between the oven and any adjacent walls.
• Do not remove the legs from the bottom of the oven.
• Blocking the intake and/or outlet openings can damage the oven.
• Place the oven as far away from radios and TV as possible. The operation of a microwave oven may cause interference to your radio or TV reception.

Plug your oven into a standard household outlet. Be sure the voltage and the frequency are the same as the voltage and the frequency on the rating label.
WARNING:
Do not install an oven over a range cooktop or other heat-producing appliance. If installed near or over a heat source, the oven could be damaged and the warranty would be void.

The accessible surface may be hot during operation.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

CONTROL PANEL AND FUNCTIONS
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE, MICROWAVE OVEN

Set the cooking power by turning the power button to the desired level.
Set the cooking time by turning the timer button to the desired time (refer to the cooking guide).
The microwave oven will immediately start cooking when the power level and time have been set.
When the cooking time has elapsed, a sound signal will be emitted and the oven will switch off.
Always set the timer to “0” when the microwave oven is not in use

Function/ power	Effect	Application
Low	17% power	Softening ice cream
Medium-low (defrosting)	33% power	Soups, sauces, softening butter,

NOTE!
Before removing food from the oven, make sure the oven is switched off by turning the timer button to 0 (zero). This prevents the risk of accidentally operating the oven empty, which can overheat and damage the magnetron.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Normal

The microwave oven interferes with TV reception.| Radio and TV reception can be impaired when the microwave oven is running. This is reminiscent of the interference that small electrical appliances (e.g. mixers, vacuum cleaners, and fans) can cause.
This is normal.
Weak oven lighting| When cooking at low power, oven lighting can be weak.
This is normal.
Condensation on the door, and warm air from the ventilation openings.| Food can give off steam during cooking. Most of the steam escapes through the ventilation openings. However, some can collect on cool surfaces such as the oven door. This is normal.
Problem| Possible cause| Measure
---|---|---
The oven cannot be started.| (1) The power cable is connected incorrectly.| Pull out the power cable’s plug.
Plug it back in after 10 seconds.
(2) A fuse has blown or a residual current device has tripped the power supply.| Replace the fuse or reset the power switch (repaired by a qualified person from our company).
(3) Faulty power outlet.| Use another electrical appliance to test the power outlet.
