Precautions  
Precautions to avoid possible exposure to excessive microwave energy.  
You cannot operate your oven with the door open due to the safety interlocks  
built into the door mechanism. These safety interlocks automatically switch off  
any cooking activity when the door is opened; which in the case of a  
microwave oven could result in harmful exposure to microwave energy.  
It is important not to tamper with the safety interlocks.  
When heating liquids, e.g. soups, sauces and beverages in your microwave  
oven, delayed eruptive boiling 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:  
1 Avoid using straight sided containers with narrow necks.  
2 Do not overheat.  
Do not place any object between the oven front face and the door or allow  
food or cleaner residue to accumulate on sealing surfaces.  
3 Stir the liquid before placing the container in the oven and again halfway  
through the heating time.  
Do not operate your oven if it is damaged. It is particularly important that the  
oven door closes properly and that there is no damage to the: (1) door(bent),  
(2) hinges and latches (broken or loosened), (3) door seals and sealing  
surfaces.  
4 After heating, allow to stand in the oven for a short time, stir or shake  
them(especially the contents of feeding bottles and baby food jars) again  
carefully and check the temperature of them before consumption to avoid  
burns (especially, contents of feeding bottles and baby food jars).  
Be careful when handling the container.  
Your oven should not be adjusted or repaired by anyone except qualified  
service personnel.  
Warning  
Warning  
Please ensure cooking times are correctly set as  
over cooking may result in the FOOD catching fire  
and subsequent damage to your oven.  
Always allow food to stand after being cooked by  
microwaves and check the temperature of them  
before consumption. Especially contents of feeding  
bottles and baby food jars.

How the Microwave Oven Works

Microwaves are a form of energy similar to radio and television waves and  
ordinary daylight. Normally, microwaves spread outwards as they travel  
through the atmosphere and disappear without effect. Microwave ovens,  
however, have a magnetron which is designed to make use of the energy in  
microwaves. Electricity, supplied to the magnetron tube, is used to created  
microwave energy.

These microwaves enter the cooking area through openings inside the oven. A  
turntable or tray is located at the bottom of the oven. Microwaves cannot pass  
through metal walls of the oven, but they can penetrate such materials as  
glass, porcelain and paper, the materials out of which microwave-safe  
cooking dishes are constructed.

Your microwave oven is one of the safest of all home  
appliances. When the door is opened, the oven  
automatically stops producing microwaves. Microwave  
energy is converted completely to heat when it enters  
food, leaving no “left over” energy to harm you when  
you eat your food.

Unpacking &  
By following the basic steps on these two pages you will be able to quickly check that your oven is operating  
correctly. Please pay particular attention to the guidance on where to install your oven. When unpacking your  
oven make sure you remove all accessories and packing. Check to make sure that your oven has not been  
damaged during delivery.  
Installing  
Place the oven in the level location of your choice with  
more than 85cm height but make sure there is at least  
30cm of space on the top and 10cm at the rear for proper  
ventilation. The front of the oven should be at least 8cm from the  
edge of the surface to prevent tipping.  
Unpack your oven and place it on a flat level  
surface.  
An exhaust outlet is located on top or side of the oven. Blocking  
the outlet can damage the oven.
