Some products such as whole eggs and sealed containers – for example, closed glass jars – are able to explode and should not be heated in this oven.
Use this appliance only for its intended use as described in the manual. Do not use corrosive chemicals or vapors in this appliance. This type of oven is specifically designed to heat, cook or dry food. It is not designed for industrial or laboratory use.
As with any appliance, close supervision is necessary when used by children.
Do not operate this appliance if it has a damaged cord or plug, if it is not working properly, or if it has been damaged or dropped.
This appliance should be serviced only v by qualified service personnel. Contact the nearest authorized service facility for examination, repair, or adjustment.
Do not cover or block any openings on the appliance.
Do not store this appliance outdoors. Do not use this product near water – for example, near a kitchen sink, in a wet basement, near a swimming pool, or a similar location.
Do not immerse the cord or plug in water.
Keep cord away from heated surface.
Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter.
When cleaning surfaces of door and oven that comes together on closing the door, use only mild, nonabrasive soaps, or detergent applied with a sponge or soft cloth.
To reduce the risk of fire in the oven cavity:
Do not overcook food. Carefully attend appliance when paper, plastic, or other combustible materials are placed inside the oven to facilitate cooking.
Remove wire twist-ties from paper or plastic bag before placing bag in oven.
If material inside of the oven ignite, keep oven door closed, turn oven off, and disconnect the power cord, or shut off power at the fuse or circuit breaker panel.
Do not use the cavity for storage purposes. Do not leave paper products, cooking utensils, or food in the cavity when not in use.
Liquids, such as water, coffee, or tea are able to be overheated beyond the boiling point without appearing to be boiling. Visible bubbling or boiling when the container is removed from the microwave oven is not always present.

THIS COULD RESULT IN VERY HOT LIQUID SUDDENLY BOILING OVER WHEN THE CONTAINER IS DISTURBED OR A UTENSIL IS INSERTED INTO THE LIQUID.
To reduce the risk of injury to persons:

Do not overheat the liquid.
Stir the liquid both before and halfway through heating it.
Do not use straight-sided containers with narrow necks.
After heating, allow the container to before removing the container.
se extreme care when inserting a stand in the microwave oven for a short time spoon or another utensil into the container.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
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.

WARNING
Improper use of the grounding can result in a risk of electric shock. 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 that has a 3-blade grounded plug, and 3-slot receptacle that will accept the plug on the appliance. The marked rating of the extension cord shall be equal to or greater than the electrical rating of the appliance.

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.

A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risks resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
Longer cord sets or extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use.
If a long cord or extension cord is used:
The marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance.
The extension cord must be a grounding-type 3-wire cord.
The longer 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.

RADIO INTERFERENCE

The operation of the microwave oven may cause interference to your radio, TV equipment.
When there is interference, it may be reduced or eliminated by taking the following measures:

Reorient the receiving antenna of radio or television.
Relocate the microwave oven with respect to the receiver.
Move the microwave oven away from the receiver.
Plug the microwave oven into a different outlet so that the microwave oven are on different branch circuits.

SAFETY

The oven must be on a leveled surface.
The turntable and turntable roller rest must be in the oven during cooking. Place the cookware gently on the turntable and handle it carefully to avoid possible breakage.
Incorrect use of browning dish may cause the turntable to break.
Use only the specified bag size when using Direct Access Popcorn.
The oven has several built-in safety switches to ensure that the power remains off when the door is open. Do not tamper with these switches.
Do not operate the microwave oven empty. Operating the oven with no food or food that is extremely low in moisture can cause fire, charring or sparking.
Do not cook bacon directly on the turntable. Excessive local heating of the turntable may cause the turntable to break.
Do not heat baby bottles or baby food in the microwave oven. Uneven heating may occur and could cause physical injury.
Do not heat narrow-necked containers, such as syrup bottles.
Do not attempt to deep-fry in your microwave oven.

and the frequency on the rating label.
Warning: The plugs socket, electric appliances or the appliance which are liable affected by heat and moisture should be kept away from any vents on the oven.

Cleaning Instructions Always keep the oven clean

Cleaning the glass viewing window, the inner door panel and oven front face. For best performance and to maintain the high degree of safety, the inner door panel and oven front face should be free of food or grease build-up. Wipe these parts with a mild detergent, rinse and wipe dry. Never use abrasive powders or pads.
Cleaning the control panel and plastic parts. Do not apply a detergent or an alkaline liquid spray to the control panel and plastic parts, as this may cause damage to these parts. Use a dry cloth (not a soaked cloth) to clean these parts.
Cleaning the oven interior After use be sure to clean up spilled liquids, spattered oil and food debris as quickly as possible. If the oven is used when dirty, efficiency drops and the dirt gets stuck on the oven surface and may cause bad odours.

The user has to ensure that this device is connected only to a power supply system which fulfills the requirement above. If necessary, the user can ask the public power supply company for the system impedance at the interface point.
If there is no equipotential bonding conductor in the electric supply, an external equipotential bonding conductor must be installed at the rear of the appliance (see symbol). This terminal shall be in effective electrical contact with all
fixed exposed metal parts and shall allow the connection of a conductor having a nominal cross-sectional area up to 10 mm².

Troubleshooting

Check your problem by using the chart below and try the solutions for each problem. If the microwave oven still does not work properly, contact the nearest authorized service center.
