If a fire occurs:
•
Do not open the door.

6. When preparing bacon, do not place it directly on
the glass tray; localized overheating of the glass tray
can cause it to crack.
7. Do not heat liquids in containers with narrow open
ings.
8. Do not attempt to heat products to a well done
state.
9. Do not use the microwave for canning and preserv
ing food because there is no way of knowing if the
contents of the jar reached boiling temperature.
10. In order to avoid prolonged rapid boiling of liquid
foods and drinks, and also to prevent burns, we rec
ommend stirring the product before and in the mid
dle of the cooking process. To do this, start cooking,
wait a while, remove the dish from the oven and stir,
then place it back in the oven to continue the cook
ing process.
11. Clean the microwave oven regularly. Irregular care
for your oven can lead to poor outward appearance,
negatively affects its operating ability, and also can
lead to danger during further exploitation.
Rules that should always be remembered:
1. Do not exceed product cooking times in the
microwave oven. Always monitor the cooking
process when using dishes made from paper, plastic
and other flammable materials.
2. Never use the microwave oven to store things. Never
store flammable materials and food in the
microwave like bread, cookies, paper packaging,
etc., because during lightning storms, the
microwave oven can turn on by itself.
3. Metal ties and wire handles must be removed from
paper and plastic bags and containers before plac
ing them into the microwave oven.
4. The microwave oven should be properly grounded.
Only connect the microwave oven to an electrical
outlet that is properly grounded.
5. Some food items, like eggs in their shells, liquid or
hard fats, and also hermetically sealed jars and
sealed glass containers can be explosive and should
not be placed in your microwave oven.
7. Use your microwave oven exclusively for the purpos
es for which it was designed and in strict adherence
to the instructions explained herein.
8. The microwave oven in designed exclusively for
heating and preparing food and is not designed for
laboratory or industrial use.
8. Pay special attention when children are using the
microwave oven.
9. Do not use the microwave oven if the power cord or
plug are damaged, or if the oven has been damaged
or dropped.
10. Repair of the microwave oven should only be con
ducted by qualified specialists at an authorized serv
ice center.
11. Do not block the ventilation openings on the
microwave oven's housing.

13. Do not use the microwave oven near water, immedi
ately near kitchen sinks, in damp basements or
directly near swimming pools.
14. Do not submerse the power cord and plug in water.
15. Avoid allowing the power cord and plug to come into
contact with hot surfaces.
16. Do not allow the power cord to hang off the edge of
the table or counter.
17. When cleaning the door and internal surfaces of the
microwave oven, always use a soft, non abrasive
cleanser on a sponge or soft cloth.
CAUTION
Injury due to electric shock.
Touching the elements of the electrical circuits inside
the microwave oven can lead to serious trauma and
injury from electric shock. Do not take apart the
microwave oven yourself.
Grounding the Microwave Oven
The microwave oven should be properly grounded. In
case of any kind of short circuit, grounding reduces the
risk of electric shock, as the current will flow through the
ground wire.
The microwave oven uses a power cord with ground wire
and a grounded plug. The plug should be connected to
an electrical outlet that also has a ground contact.
WARNING: Connecting a grounded plug to an un
grounded outlet can lead to electric shock.
Consult with a qualified electrician if you do not under
stand these grounding instructions or if you are not sure
that the microwave oven is properly grounded.
•
In order to avoid confusion, the microwave oven is
equipped with a short power cord.
• If an extension cord is necessary, only use a 3 wire
extensions cord with ground contacts on the power
plug and outlet(s).
• The sectional markings on the microwave oven's power
cord should match those on the extension cord.
