PRECAUTIONS

GENERAL
This appliance is intended to be used in household and similar applications such as:

• Staff kitchen areas in shops, offices and other working environments;
• Farm houses;
• By clients in hotels, motels and other residential environments;
• Bed and breakfast type environments.
• No other use is permitted (e.g. heating rooms).

NOTE:

• The appliance should not be operated without food inside of it. Operation in this manner is likely to damage the appliance.
• The ventilation openings on the microwave oven must not be covered. Blocking the air intake or exhaust vents may cause damage to the microwave oven and poor cooking results.
• Whenever you are operating the microwave oven, always put a glass of water inside. The water will absorb the microwave energy and the microwave oven will not be damaged. Never operate with the empty unit.
• Do not store or use this appliance outdoors.
• Do not use this product near a kitchen sink, in a wet basement, or near a swimming pool, or similar area.
• Do not use the cavity for any storage purposes.
• Remove wire twist-ties from paper or plastic bags before placing bag in the microwave oven.
• Do not use your microwave oven for deep-frying, because the oil temperature cannot be controlled.
• Use hot pads or microwave oven mitts to prevent burns, when touching containers, microwave oven parts, and pans after cooking.

LIQUIDS
E.g. beverages or water. Overheating the liquid beyond boiling point can occur without evidence of bubbling. This could result in a sudden boil over of the hot liquid.
To prevent this possibility the following steps should be taken:

• Avoid using straight-sided containers with narrow necks.
• Stir the liquid before placing the container in the microwave oven.
• After heating, allow standing for a short time, stirring again before carefully removing the container from the microwave oven.

CAREFUL
After heating baby food or liquids in a baby bottle or in a baby food jar, always stir and check the temperature before serving. This will ensure that the heat is evenly distributed and the risk of scalding or burns can be avoided.

ACCESSORIES AND MAINTENANCE

ACCESSORIES

• There are a number of accessories available on the market. Before you buy, ensure they are suitable for microwave use.

• Ensure that the utensils you use are microwave oven proof and allow microwaves to pass through them before cooking.

• When you put food and accessories in the microwave oven, ensure that they do not come in contact with the interior of the microwave oven.

• This is especially important with accessories made of metal or metal parts.

• If accessories containing metal come into contact with the microwave oven interior, while the microwave oven is in operation, sparking can occur and the microwave oven could be damaged.

•  Metallic containers for food and beverage are not allowed during microwave cooking.

• For better cooking performance, it is suggested that you need to put the accessories in the middle of the inner full flat cavity.
  GLASS TURNTABLE

  • Use the Glass Turntable with all cooking methods. It collects the dripping juices and food particles that otherwise would stain and soil the interior of the oven.
  • Place the Glass Turntable on the Turntable Support.
  • TURNTABLE SUPPORT
    Use the Turntable Support under the Glass Turntable. Never put any other utensils on the Turntable Support. Fit the Turntable Support in the oven.

MAINTENANCE & CLEANING

• Failure to maintain the microwave oven in a clean condition could lead to deterioration of the surface that could adversely affect the life of the appliance and possibly result in a hazardous situation.
• Do not use metal scouring pads, abrasive cleansers, steel-wool pads, gritty washcloths, etc. which can damage the control panel, and the interior and exterior microwave oven surfaces. Use a cloth with a mild detergent or a paper towel with spray glass cleaner. Apply spray glass cleaner to a paper towel.

Tips and suggestions:

• For better result we recommend to defrost directly on the cavity bottom.
• If the food is warmer than deep-freeze temperature (-18°C), choose a lower weight than the food.
• If the food is colder than deep-freeze temperature (-18°C), choose a higher weight than the food.
• Separate pieces as they begin to defrost. Individual slices defrost more easily.
• Standing time after defrosting always improves the result since the temperature will then be evenly distributed throughout the food.

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|
Microwave safe plastic wrap| Yes| It should not be used when cooking meat or chops as the over-temperature may do damage to the wrap

COOKING TIPS

• The following factors may affect the cooking result:

• Food arrangement

• Place thicker areas towards outside of dish, the thinner part towards the centre 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. Over cooking 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 centre of dish once or twice during cooking

• 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
