2. Make sure the voltage in your living area corresponds to the one shown on the rating label of the appliance . And the wall socket is properly earthed.

3. To reduce the risk of fire in the oven cavity :

• Do not overcook the food .

• Remove wire twist -ties from paper or plastic bags before placing bags in the oven .

• Do not heat oil or fat for deep drying as the temperature of oil cannot be controlled .

• After use wipe the waveguide cover with a damp cloth, followed by dry cloth to remove any food splashes and grease. Built -up grease may overheat and begin to cause smoke or catch fire .

• If materials inside the oven should smoke or ignite , keep oven door closed, turn oven off and disconnect the power supply.

• Close supervision is necessary when using disposable containers made from plastic, paper or other combustible material .

4. To reduce the risk of explosion and sudden boiling:

• Do not place sealed containers in the oven . Baby bottles fitted with a screw cap or teat are considered to be sealed containers .

• When boiling liquid in the oven, use a wide-mouthed container and stand about 20 seconds at the end of cooking to avoid delayed eruption boiling of liquids .

• Potatoes, sausage and chestnuts should be peeled or pierced before cooking. Eggs in their shell, whole hard-boiled eggs should not be heated in microwave ovens since they may explode, even after microwave heating has ended.

• The cooked liquid should not be removed immediately. Wait several moments before removing in order to avoid possible hazards caused by delayed eruption boiling of liquids.

• The contents of feeding bottles and baby food jars should be stirred or shaken and the temperature should be checked before consumption, in order to avoid burns .

5. Don’t operate the oven further if the door or door seal is damaged, or if the oven is malfunctioning, or supply cord is damaged . Return the appliance to the nearest authorised service center for repair and maintenance . Never try to adjust or repair the oven yourself .

6. If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its service agent or a qualified technician in order to avoid a shock hazard .

7. After cooking, the container could be very hot . Use gloves to take out the food and avoid steam burns by directing steam away from the face and hands .

8. Slowly lift the furthest edges of dish cover and microwave plastic wraps and carefully open popcorn and oven cooking bags away from the face.

9 . To prevent the turntable from breaking:

• Let the turntable cool down before cleaning.

• Do not place hot foods or utensils on the cold turntable .

• Do not place frozen foods or utensils on the hot turntable .

10. Make sure the utensils do not touch the interior walls during cooking .

11. Failure to maintain the oven in a clean condition could lead to a deterioration of the surface that could adversely affect the life of the appliance and possibly result in a hazardous situation.

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

13 . Do not store food or any other things inside the oven .

14 . Do not operate the oven without any liquid or food inside the oven . This would damage the oven.

HOW TO USE YOUR MICROWAVE

UTENSILS GUIDE

1. The ideal material for a microwave utensil is transparent to microwaves, it allows energy to pass through the container and heat the food.

2. Microwaves cannot penetrate metal, so metal utensils or dishes with metallic trim should not be used.

3. Do not use recycled paper products when microwave cooking, as they may contain small metal fragments which may cause sparks and/or fires.

4. Round /oval dishes rather than square/oblong ones are recommend, as food in corners tends to overcook.

5. Narrow strips of aluminum foil may be used to prevent overcooking of exposed areas. But be careful don’t use too much and keep a distance of

1 inch (2.54cm) between foil and cavity.

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

Allow standing time

After cooking times out, leave the food in the oven for a 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

Colour 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

CLEANING & CARE

1. Turn off the oven and remove the power plug from the wall socket before cleaning.

2. Keep the inside of the oven clean. When food splatters or spilled liquids adhere to oven walls, wipe with a damp cloth. Mild detergent may be used if the oven gets very dirty. Avoid the use of spray and other harsh cleaners as they may stain, streak or dull the door surface.

3. The outside surfaces should be cleaned with a damp cloth. To prevent damage to the operating parts inside the oven, water should not be allowed to seep into the ventilation openings.

4. Wipe the door and window on both sides, the door seals and adjacent parts frequently with a damp cloth to remove any spills or spatters. Do not use abrasive cleaner.

5. Do not allow the control panel to become wet. Clean with a soft, damp cloth. When cleaning the control panel, leave oven door open to prevent oven from accidentally turning on.

6. If steam accumulates inside or around the outside of the oven door, wipe with a soft cloth. This may occur when the microwave oven is operated under high humidity condition. And it is normal.

7. It is occasionally necessary to remove the glass tray for cleaning. Wash the tray in warm soapy water or in a dishwasher.

8. The roller ring and oven floor should be cleaned regularly to avoid excessive noise. Simply wipe the bottom surface of the oven with mild detergent.

The roller ring may be washed in mild soapy water or dishwasher. When removing the roller ring from cavity floor for cleaning, be sure to replace in the proper position.

9. Remove odours from your oven by combining a cup of water with the juice and skin of one lemon in a deep microwaveable bowl, microwave for 5 minutes. Wipe thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth.

10. When it becomes necessary to replace the oven light, please consult a dealer to have it replaced.

11. The oven should be cleaned regularly and any food deposits removed.

Failure to maintain the 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 hazard.
