Installation and Earthing Instructions
Earthing Instructions
This microwave oven 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 microwave oven is equipped
with a cord having an earthing wire with an 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 .
General Use
. In order to maintain high quality, do not operate
the oven when empty . The microwave energy will
reflect continuously throughout the oven if no food
or water is present to absorb energy .
2 . Do not dry clothes, newspapers or other materials
in the oven . They may catch on fire .
3 . Do not use recycled paper products, unless the
paper product is labelled as safe for microwave
oven use . Recycled paper products may contain
impurities which may cause sparks and/or fires
when used .
4 . Do not use newspapers or paper bags for
cooking .
5 . Do not hit or strike control panel . Damage to
controls may occur .
6 . POT HOLDERS may be needed as heat from
food is transferred to the cooking container and
from the container to Ceramic Tray . The tray can
be very hot after removing the cooking container
from the oven .
7 . Do not store flammable materials next to, on top
of, or in the oven . It could be a fire hazard .
8 . Do not cook food directly on Ceramic Tray unless
indicated in recipes . (Food should be placed in a
suitable cooking utensil .)
9 . Do NOT use this oven to heat chemicals or other
non-food products . Do NOT clean this oven with
any product that is labeled as containing corrosive
chemicals . The heating of corrosive chemicals
in this oven may cause microwave radiation
leaks.
0 . When using the COMBINATION mode, never
place any aluminum or metal container directly
on the wire rack . Always insert a heatproof, glass
plate or dish between the wire rack and the
aluminum container . This will prevent sparking
that may damage the oven .
. It is recommended not to use the wire rack when
cooking in the MICROWAVE mode only .

General Instructions
Circuit
Your microwave oven should be operated on a
separate 0 A circuit from other appliances . Failure
to do this may cause the power board fuse to blow,
and/or food to cook slower . Do not insert higher
value fuse in the power board .
Fan Motor Operation
After using the oven, the fan rotates to cool the
electric components . Do not switch the electricity off
for 5 minutes after using the oven . This continuance
of fan operation is perfectly normal, and you can
take out the food from the oven while the fan
operates .
2 . If ceramic tray is hot, allow to cool before cleaning
or placing in water .
Food
. Do not use your oven for home canning or the
heating of any closed jar . Pressure will build
up and the jar may explode . In addition, the
microwave oven cannot maintain the food at the
correct canning temperature . Improperly canned
food may spoil and be dangerous to consume .
2 . Do not attempt to deep fat fry in your microwave oven .
3 . Potatoes, apples, egg yolks, whole squash,
chicken wing and sausages are examples of
foods with non porous skins . This type of food
must be pierced before cooking, to prevent
bursting .
4 . When heating liquids, e .g . soup, sauces and
beverages in your microwave oven, 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:
a) Avoid using straight-sided containers with
narrow necks .
b) Do not overheat .
c) Stir the liquid before placing the container in the
oven and again halfway through cooking time .
d) After heating, allow to stand in the oven for
a short time, stirring again before carefully
removing the container .
5 . DO NOT USE A CONVENTIONAL MEAT
THERMOMETER IN THE MICROWAVE OVEN.
To check the degree of cooking of roasts and
poultry use a MICROWAVE THERMOMETER.
Alternatively, a conventional meat thermometer
may be used after the food is removed from the
oven . If undercooked, return meat or poultry to
the oven and cook for a few more minutes at the
recommended power level . It is important to ensure
that meat and poultry are thoroughly cooked .
