1.1 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should be followed, including the following: WARNING: To reduce the risk of burns, electric shock, fire, injury to persons, or exposure to excessive microwave energy:

• Read all instructions before using the appliance.
• Read and follow the specific “PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY” found on page 4.
• This appliance must be grounded. Connect only to a properly grounded outlet. See “GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS” found on page 6.
• Install or locate this appliance only in accordance with the provided installation instructions.
• Some products, such as whole eggs and sealed containers—for example, closed glass jars—can explode and should not be heated in this oven.
• Use this appliance only for its intended use as described in the 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.
• HOT CONTENTS CAN CAUSE SEVERE BURNS. DO NOT ALLOW CHILDREN TO USE THE MICROWAVE. Use caution when removing hot items.
• 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.
• This appliance should be serviced only by qualified service personnel. Contact the nearest authorized service facility for examination, repair, or adjustment.
• Do not cover or block any openings on the appliance.
• Do not store this appliance outdoors. Do not use this product near water—for example, near a kitchen sink, in a wet basement, near a swimming pool, or a similar location.
• Do not immerse the cord or plug in water.
• Keep the cord away from heated surfaces.
• Do not let the cord hang over the edge of a table or counter.
• When cleaning surfaces of the door and oven that come together on closing the door, use only mild, nonabrasive soaps or detergents applied with a sponge or soft cloth.
• To reduce the risk of fire in the oven cavity:
• Do not overcook food. Carefully attend to the appliance when paper, plastic, or other combustible materials are placed inside the oven to facilitate cooking.
• Remove wire twist-ties from paper or plastic bags before placing bags in the oven.
• If material inside the oven ignites, keep the oven door closed, turn the oven off, and disconnect the power cord, or shut off power at the fuse or circuit breaker panel.
• Do not use the cavity for storage purposes. Do not leave paper products, cooking utensils, or food in the cavity when not in use.
• Liquids, such as water, coffee, or tea, can be overheated beyond the boiling point without appearing to be boiling. Visible bubbling or boiling when the container is removed from the microwave oven is not always present. THIS COULD RESULT IN VERY HOT LIQUID SUDDENLY BOILING OVER WHEN THE CONTAINER IS DISTURBED, OR A UTENSIL IS INSERTED INTO THE LIQUID.
• To reduce the risk of injury to persons:
• Do not overheat the liquid.
• Stir the liquid both before and halfway through heating it.
• Do not use straight-sided containers with narrow necks.
• After heating, allow the container to stand in the microwave oven for a short time before removing it.
• Use extreme care when inserting a spoon or other utensil into the container.

5 Cleaning and maintenance

5.1 Cleaning

WARNING: Never use gasoline, solvent, abrasive cleaning agents, metal objects, or hard brushes to clean the appliance.

WARNING: Never immerse the appliance or its power cable in water or in any other liquid.

1. Turn off the oven and remove the power plug from the wall socket before cleaning.
2. Wait for the appliance to completely cool down.
3. Keep the inside of the oven clean. When food splatters or spilled liquids adhere to the 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.
4. 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.
5. Wipe both sides of the door and window, the door seals, and adjacent parts frequently with a damp cloth to remove any spills or spatters. Do not use an abrasive cleaner.
6. A steam cleaner must not be used.
7. Do not allow the control panel to become wet. Clean with a soft, damp cloth. When cleaning the control panel, leave the oven door open to prevent the oven from accidentally turning on.
8. 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 conditions, and it is normal.
9. It is occasionally necessary to remove the glass tray for cleaning. Wash the tray in warm sudsy water or in a dishwasher.
10. 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, sudsy water or in a dishwasher. When removing the roller ring from the cavity floor for cleaning, be sure to replace it in the proper position.
11. Remove odors 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, then wipe thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth.
12. When it becomes necessary to replace the oven light, please consult a dealer to have it replaced.
13. 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, which could adversely affect the life of the appliance and possibly result in a hazardous situation.
14. Please do not dispose of this appliance in the domestic rubbish bin; it should be disposed of at the particular disposal center provided by the municipalities.
15. When the microwave oven with grill function is first used, it may produce slight smoke and smell. This is a normal phenomenon because the oven is made of a steel plate coated with lubricating oil, and the new oven will produce fumes and odor generated by burning the lubricating oil. This phenomenon will disappear after a period of use.

5.2 Storage

• If you do not intend to use the appliance for a long time, please store it carefully.
• Please make sure that the appliance is unplugged, cooled down, and totally dry.
• Store the appliance in a cool and dry place.
• Keep the appliance out of the reach of children.

5.3 Handling and transportation

• During handling and transportation, carry the appliance in its original packaging. The packaging of the appliance protects it against physical damage.
• Do not place heavy loads on the appliance or the packaging. The appliance may be damaged.
• Dropping the appliance will render it non-operational or cause permanent damage.
