INSTALLATION

PRIOR TO CONNECTING

Position the microwave oven at a distance from other heating sources. For sufficient ventilation, there must be a space of at least 30 cm above the microwave oven.
The microwave oven should not be placed in a cabi­net. This microwave oven is not intended to be pla­ced or used on a working surface lower than 850 mm above the floor.

• Check that the voltage on the rating plate corresponds to the voltage in your home.
• Place the microwave oven on a stable and even surface that is strong enough to hold the microwave oven and the food utensils you put in it. Use carefully when handling.
• Ensure that the space underneath, above and around the microwave oven is empty to allow for proper airflow.
• Ensure that the appliance is not damaged. Check that the microwave oven door is clo­sed firmly against the door support and the internal door seal is not damaged. Empty the microwave oven and clean the interior with a soft, damp cloth.
• Do not operate this appliance if it has a damaged mains cord or plug, if it is not working properly, or if it has been damaged or dropped. Do not immerse the mains cord or plug in water. Keep the cord away from hot surfaces. Electrical shock, fire or other hazards may result.
• Do not use an extension cord: If the power supply cord is too short, have a qualified electrician or serviceman install an outlet near the appliance.
• Do not remove the microwave inlet protection plates located on the side of the oven cavity wall. They prevent grease and food particles from entering the microwave inlet channel.

WARNING:

• Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock.
• Consult a qualified electrician or serviceman if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if you have doubts as to whether the microwave oven is properly grounded.

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 in the microwave oven when using microwaves. 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.
• If you practice operating the microwave oven, put a glass of water inside. The water will absorb the microwave energy and the microwave oven will not be damaged.
  Note: please refer to below section “Liquids’
• 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.
Always refer to a microwave cookbook for detail. Especially, if cooking or reheating food that contains alcohol. Ensure the lid and the teat is removed before heating.

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.

1. 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.
     
2. 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.
• Use a soft and damp cloth with mild detergent to clean the interior surfaces, front and rear of the door and the door opening.
• Do not use steam cleaning appliances when cleaning your microwave oven.
• The microwave oven should be cleaned regularly and any food deposits removed.
• Cleaning is the only maintenance normally required. It must be carried out with the microwave oven disconnected.
• Do not spray directly on the microwave oven.
• This microwave oven is designed to operate cooking cycles with a proper container in a fully flat cavity directly.
• Do not allow grease or food particles to build up around the door, and inlet protection plates located on the side of the oven cavity wall.
