QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS 13
1. Do not use the oven for any reason other than food preparation, such as for drying clothes, paper, or any other nonfood items
or for sterilizing purposes.
2. Do not use the oven when empty, this could damage the oven.
3. Do not use the oven cavity for any type of storage, such as papers, cookbook, cookware, etc.
4. Do not operate the oven without the glass tray in place. Be sure it is properly sitting on the rotating base.
5. Make sure you remove caps or lids prior to cooking when you cook food sealed in bottles.
6. Do not put foreign material between the oven surface and door. It could result in excessive leakage of microwave energy.
7. Do not use recycled paper products for cooking. They may contain impurities which could cause sparks and/or fires when used
during cooking.
8. Do not pop popcorn unless popped in a microwave approved popcorn popper or unless it's commercially packaged and
recommended especially for microwave ovens.
Microwave popped corn produces a lower yield than conventional popping; there will be a number of unpopped kernels. Do not
use oil unless specified by the manufacturer.
9. Do not cook any food surrounded by a membrane, such as egg yolks, potatoes, chicken livers, etc., without first piercing them
several times with a fork.
10. Do not pop popcorn longer than the manufacturer's directions. (popping time is generally below 3 minutes). Longer cooking
does not yield more popped corn, it can cause scorchings and fire.
Also, the cooking tray can become too hot to handle or may break.
11. If smoke is observed, switch off or unplug the appliance and keep the door closed in order to stifle any flames.
12. When heating food in plastic or paper containers, check the oven frequently due to the possibility of ignition.
13. The contents of feeding bottles and baby food jars are to be stirred or shaken and the temperature is to be checked before
consumption, in order to avoid burns.
14. Always test the temperature of food or drink which has been heated in a microwave oven before you give it to somebody,
especially to children or elderly people. This is important because things which have been heated in a microwave oven carry
on getting hotter even though the microwave oven cooking has stopped.
15. Eggs in their shell and whole hard-boiled eggs shall not be heated in microwave ovens since they may explode.
16. Keep the waveguide cover clean at all times. Wipe the oven interior with a soft damp cloth after each use. If you leave grease
or fat anywhere in the cavity it may overheat, smoke or even catch fire when next using the oven.
17. Never heat oil or fat for deep frying as you cannot control the temperature and doing so may lead to overheating and fire.
18. Microwave heating of beverages can result in delayed eruptive boiling, therefore care has to be taken when handling the
container.
WARNING -Improper use of the earthing plug can result in a risk of electric shock.
Consult a qualified electrician or serviceman if the earthing instructions are not completely understood, or if the
doubt exists as to whether the appliances is properly earthed.
If it is necessary to use an extension cord, use only a 3-wire extension cord that has a 3-blade earthing plug,
and a 3-slot receptacle that will accept the plug on the appliance. The marked rating of the extension cord
should be equal to or greater than the electrical rating of the appliance.
INSTALLATION
5 Power supply
• Check your local power source. This oven requires a current of approximately 12 amperes, 230V 50Hz.
• Power supply cord is about 1.6 meters long.
• The voltage used must be the same as specified on this oven. Using a higher voltage may result in a fire or other
accident causing oven damage. Using low voltage will cause slow cooking. We are not responsible for damage
resulting from use of this oven with a voltage of ampere fuse other than those specified.
• Should the cable need changing this must be performed by SERVICE MAN as a special cable must be used.
Examine the oven after unpacking for any damage such as:
6 A misaligned door, Broken door, A dent in cavity. If any of the above are visible, DO NOT INSTALL, and notify dealer

Use it under the glass turn-table when the turning function is
needed. Never put other utensils than the glass turn-table
directly on the roller guide. Use a mild detergent, water and a
soft cloth to clean the roller guide.

PROBLEM
SOLUTION
Is door closed?
Note: It is quite normal for steam to be emitted around the door during the cooking cycle. The door is not intended to seal
the oven cavity completely but its special design contributes to the complete of the appliance.
Caution:
1. Do not attempt to operate the oven while empty as this will cause damage.
2. As an exhaust is located in the rear of the oven, install the oven so as not to block the outlet.

Q: Does microwave energy pass through the viewing screen in the door?
A: No. The metal screen bounces back the energy to the oven cavity. The holes are made to allow light to pass through.
They do not let microwave energy pass through.
Q: Why does the smoke come out of the exhaust vent at the back of oven?
A: It is normal for smoke to come out of the vents during cooking. Smoke may be produced when food is overcooked.
