• If the door or door seals are damaged, the oven must not be operated until it has been repaired by a trained person.
• It is hazardous for anyone other than a trained person to carry out any service or repair operation, which involves the removal of any cover, which gives protection against exposure to microwave energy.
• Liquids or other food must not be heated in sealed containers since they are liable to explode.

1. Only use utensils that are suitable for use in microwave ovens.

2. Metallic containers for food and beverages are not allowed during microwave cooking.

3. When heating food in plastic or paper containers, keep an eye on the oven due to the possibility of ignition.

OPERATION OF CONTROL PANEL

CLOCK SETTING
The maximum setting is 35 minutes, there is a ringtone at the end, and the knob returns to the “0” position.

MICROWAVE FUNCTION

Below is some food defrosting time advice:

OPERATION

1. Connect the cord
   • Before connecting the cord, make sure the timer is set to the “0” position.
   • Do not block the ventilation.
2. Place the food on the glass turntable and close the door
   • Food must be contained in a utensil.
   • Do not operate the microwave oven without load, otherwise it will cause damage to the microwave oven.
3. Select the desired power level.
4. Once the desired time is set, the cooking begins. If pausing in midway is needed, just open the door at any time, and close it to resume operation.
5. When it times out and cooking ends, the microwave oven produces a bell ring, the inside lamp will also be automatically turned off. If food is removed before time out, make sure to set back the timer to “0” position, this prevents the microwave oven from operating an empty load.
6. It is recommended to wear gloves when removing the cooked food from oven and be careful not to touch the heating element on the top of the cavity.

CAUTION
Heating food fast, generally only 2 to 3 minutes, please control in 5 minutes. Please pay attention to the cooking condition of the food at any time and adjust it according to your taste preference. Avoid overheating. When heating porridge, congee should first stir evenly, and then covered with plastic film (leave corners for ventilation) or with a perforated lid heating. At mid-point to defrosting time, please open the door to turn the food, so that the defrosting effect is more uniform.

UTENSILS GUIDELINE

Depending on the cooking method, it is necessary to choose a safe and suitable vessel. If it is not properly selected, it will not only affect the cooking effect but also cause damage to the vessel or microwave oven.

Please refer to the table below for use:

metal rim or glazed
Heat-resistant plastic| Yes| Cannot be used for long time microwave cooking
Heat-resistant glass| Yes|
Plastic film| Yes| It should not be used when cooking meat or chops as the over-temperature may do damage to the film
Grill rack| No|

COOKING TIPS

The following factors may affect the cooking result:

• Food arrangement
  Place thicker areas towards the outside of dish, the thinner part towards the center and spread it evenly. Do not overlap if possible.

• Cooking time length
  Start cooking with a short time setting, evaluate it after it times out and extend it according to the actual need. Overcooking may result in smoke and burns.

• Cooking food evenly
  Food such as chicken, hamburger or steak should be turned once during cooking. Depending on the type of food, if applicable, stir it from outside to center of dish once or twice during cooking.

• Allow standing time
  After cooking times out, leave the food in the oven for an adequate length of time, this allows it to complete its cooking cycle and cooling it down in a gradual manner.

• Whether the food is done
  Color and hardness of food help to determine if it is done, these include:

  • Steam coming out from all parts of food, not just the edge.
  • Joints of poultry can be moved easily.
  • Pork or poultry shows no signs of blood.
  • Fish is opaque and can be sliced easily with a fork.

• Browning dish
  When using a browning dish or self-heating container, always place a heat- resistant insulator such as a porcelain plate under it to prevent damage to the turntable and rotating ring.

• Microwave-safe plastic wrap
  When cooking food with high fat content, do not allow the plastic wrap come into contact with the food as it may melt. Microwave-safe plastic cookware Some microwave safe plastic cookware might not be suitable for cooking foods with high fat and sugar content. Also, the preheating time specified in the dish instruction manual must not be exceeded.
