If the oven fails to operate:
1. Check to ensure that the oven is plugged in securely. If it is not, remove the plug from the outlet,
wait 10 seconds, and plug it in again securely.
2. Check for a blown circuit fuse or a tripped main circuit breaker. If these seem to be operating
properly, test the outlet with another appliance.
3. Check to ensure that the control panel is programmed correctly and the timer is set.
4. Check to ensure that the door is securely closed engaging the door safety lock system.
Otherwise, the microwave energy will not flow into the oven.
IF NONE OF THE ABOVE RECTIFY THE SITUATION, THEN CONTACT A QUALIFIED TECHNICIAN.
DO NOT TRY TO ADJUST OR REPAIR THE OVEN YOURSELF.
1. Make sure that all the packing materials are removed from the inside of the door.
2. WARNIGN: Check the oven for any damage, such as misaligned or bent door, damaged door
seals and sealing surface, broken or loose door hinges and latches and dents inside the cavity or
on the door. If there is any damage, do not operate the oven and contact qualified service
personnel.
3. This microwave oven must be placed on a flat, stable surface to hold its weight and the heaviest
food likely to be cooked in the oven.
4. Do not place the oven where heat, moisture, or high humidity are generated, or near combustible
materials.
5. For correct operation, the oven must have sufficient airflow. Allow 20cm of space above the oven,
10cm at back and 5cm at both sides. Do not cover or block any openings on the appliance. Do
not remove feet.

6. Do not operate the oven without glass tray, roller support, and shaft in their proper positions.
7. Make sure that the power supply cord is undamaged and does not run under the oven or over
any hot or sharp surface.
8. The socket must be readily accessible so that it can be easily unplugged in an emergency.
9. Do not use the oven outdoors.
This appliance must be grounded. This oven is equipped with a cord having a grounding wire with a
grounding plug. It must be plugged into a wall receptacle that is properly installed and grounded. In
the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces risk of electric shock by providing an escape
wire for the electric current. It is recommended that a separate circuit serving only the oven be
provided. Using a high voltage is dangerous and may result in a fire or other accident causing oven
damage.
WARNING Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock.
Note：
1. If you have any questions about the grounding or electrical instructions, consult a qualified
electrician or service person.
2. Neither the manufacturer nor the dealer can accept any liability for damage to the oven or
personal injury resulting from failure to observe the electrical connection procedures.
The wires in this cable main are colored in accordance with the following code:
Green and Yellow = EARTH
Blue = NEUTRAL
Brown = LIVE
Operation of the microwave oven can cause interference to your radio, TV, or similar equipment.
When there is interference, it may be reduced or eliminated by taking the following measures:
1. Clean door and sealing surface of the oven.
2. Reorient the receiving antenna of radio or television.
3. Relocate the microwave oven with respect to the receiver.
4. Move the microwave oven away from the receiver.
5. Plug the microwave oven into a different outlet so that microwave oven and receiver are on
different branch circuits.

When using electrical appliance, basic safety precautions should be followed to reduce the risk of
burns, electric shock, fire, injury to persons or exposure to excessive microwave energy. These
precautions are as follows:
1. Read all instructions before using the appliance.
2. Use this appliance only for its intended use as described in this manual. Do not use corrosive
chemicals or vapors in this appliance. This type of oven is specifically designed to heat, cook or
dry food. It is not designed for industrial or laboratory use.
3. Do not operate the oven when empty.
4. Do not operate this appliance if it has a damaged cord or plug, if it is not working properly or if it
has been damaged or dropped. If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the
manufacturer or its service agent or a similarly qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.
5. WARNING: Only allow children to use the oven without supervision when adequate instructions
have been given so that the child is able to use the oven in a safe way and understands the
hazards of improper use.
6. To reduce the risk of fire in the oven cavity:
a. When heating food in plastic or paper container, keep an eye on the oven due to the
possibility of ignition.
b. Remove wire twist-ties from paper or plastic bags before placing bag in oven.
c. If smoke is observed, switch off or unplug the appliance and keep the door closed in order to
stifle any flames.
d. Do not use the cavity for storage purposes. Do not leave paper products, cooking utensils or
food in the cavity when not in use.
7. WARNING: Liquid or other food must not be heated in sealed containers since they are liable to
explode.
8. Microwave heating of beverage can result in delayed eruptive boiling, therefore care has to be
taken when handle the container.
9. Do not fry food in the oven. Hot oil can damage oven parts and utensils and even result in skin
burns.
10. Eggs in their shell and whole hard-boiled eggs should not be heated in microwave ovens since
they may explode even after microwave heating has ended.
11. Pierce foods with heavy skins such as potatoes, whole squashes, apples and chestnuts before
cooking.
12. The contents of feeding bottles and baby jars should be stirred or shaken and the temperature
should be checked before serving in order to avoid burns.
13. Cooking utensils may become hot because of heat transferred from the heated food. Potholders
may be needed to handle the utensil.
14. Utensils should be checked to ensure that they are suitable for use in microwave oven. Utensil
Test: Place the empty utensil in the oven, microwave at high power for 60 seconds. A utensil
which becomes very hot should not be used.
15. WARNING: It is hazardous for anyone other than a trained person to carry out any service or
repair operation which involves the removal of any cover which gives protection against exposure
to microwave energy.
16. This product is a Group 2 Class B ISM equipment. The definition of Group 2 which contains all
4
ISM (Industrial, Scientific and Medical) equipment in which
radio-frequency energy is
intentionally generated and/or used in the form of electromagnetic radiation for the treatment of
material, and spark erosion equipment. For Class B equipment is equipment suitable for use in
domestic establishments and in establishments directly connected to a low voltage power supply
network which supplies buildings used for domestic purpose.
17. This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical,
sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given
supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
18. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
1. The ideal material for a microwave utensil is transparent to microwave, it allows energy to pass
through the container and heat the food.
2. Microwave can not 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 2.54cm between foil and cavity.

1. Arrange food carefully. Place thickest areas towards outside of dish.
2. Watch cooking time. Cook for the shortest amount of time indicated and add more as needed.
Food severely overcooked can smoke or ignite.
3. Cover foods while cooking. Covers prevent spattering and help foods to cook evenly.
4. Turn foods over once during microwaving to speed cooking of such foods as chicken and
hamburgers. Large items like roasts must be turned over at least once.
5. Rearrange foods such as meatballs halfway through cooking both from top to bottom and from
the center of the dish to the outside.
