EARTHING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be earthed. In the event of an electrical short circuit, earthing reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current. This appliance is equipped with a cord having a earthing wire with a earthing plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and earthed.
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 doubt exists as to whether the appliance is properly earthed. If it is necessary to use an extension cord, use only a 3wire 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
1 Steady, flat location
This oven should be set on a steady, flat surface. This oven is designed for counter top use only.
2 Leave space behind and side
All air vents should be kept a clearance. If all vents are covered during operation, the oven may overheat and, eventually, oven failure.
3 Away from radio and TV sets
Poor television reception and radio interference may result if the oven is located close to a TV, Radio antenna, feeder and so on.
Position the oven as far from them as possible.
4 Away from heating apliance and water taps
Keep the oven away from hot air, steam or splash when choosing a place to position it, or the insulation might be adversely affected and breakdowns occur.
5 Power supply
• Check your local power source. This oven requires a current of approximately 12 amperes, 230V 50Hz.
• Power supply cord is about 1.1 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.
• This appliance is supplied with cable of special type, which, if damaged, must be repaired with cable of same type. Such a cable can be purchased from manufacturer or supplier and must be installed by a Qualified Person.
6 Examine the oven after unpacking for any damage such as:
A misaligned door, Broken door, A dent in cavity. If any of the above are visible, DO
NOT INSTALL, and notify dealer immediately.
7 Do not operate the oven if it is colder than room termperature.
(This may occur during delivery in cold weather.) Allow the oven to become room temperature before operating.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR GENERAL USE
Listed below are, as with all appliances, certain rules to follow and safeguards to assure top performance from this oven:
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. Should the microwave oven emit smoke in quantity to indicate a fire, keep the oven door shut, switch the appliance off and disconnect the mains lead from the outlet.
12. When flammable food containers are used in the oven (e.g. packet popcorn) be sure to check the cooking process periodically in case fire has occured.
13. Always stir and/or shake the containers of baby foods prior to testing their temperature and serving the contents.
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. a) Be cautions about touching parts other than control panel during or immediately following grill or combi cooking.
b) Always use hot pads or oven mitts when placing or removing food and/or accessories from the oven.

1. Without metal parts or metal trims.
2. Some plastics are heat-proof only to certain temperatures.
Check carefully!
3. It is possible to use aluminium foil to shield deliate areas of food
(this prevents over-cooking).
4. Metal tins can be used in the combination methods, however if these are vary deep, they will greatly reduce the efficiency, as metal shields the microwave energy from the food.
CARE AND CLEANING
Although your oven is provided with safety features, it is important to observe the following:
1. It is important not to defeat or tamper with safety interlocks.
2. Do not place any object between the oven front face and the door or allow residue to accumulate on sealing surfaces. Wipe the sealing area frequently with a mild detergent, rinse and wipe dry. Never use abrasive powders or pads.
3. When opened, the door must not be subjected to strain, for example, a child hanging on an opened door or any load could cause the oven to fall forward to cause injury and also damaged to the door. Do not operate the oven if it is damaged, until it has been repaired by a trained service technician.
It is particularly important that the oven closes properly and that there is no damage to the: i) Door (bent) ii) Hinges and Hookes (broken or loosened) iii) Door seals and sealing surfaces.
4. The oven should not be adjusted or repaired by anyone except a properly trained service technician.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
* Q : I accidentally ran my microwave oven without any food in it. Is it damaged?
* A : Running the oven empty for a short time will not damage the oven. However, it is not recommended.
* Q : Can the oven be used with the glass tray or roller guide removed?
* A : No. Both the glass tray and roller guide must always be used in the oven before cooking.
* Q : Can I open the door when the oven is operating?
* A : The door can be opened anytime during the cooking operation. Then microwave energy will be instantly switched off and the time setting will maintain until the door is closed.
* Q : Why do I have moisture in my microwave oven after cooking?
* A : The moisture on the side of your microwave oven is normal. It is caused by steam from cooking food hitting the cool oven surface.
* 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.
