To reduce the risk of re inside the oven:
- Do not overcook food.
7
EN
Microwave Oven | Horno Microondas | Micro-ondas
- Remove wire twist-ties from paper or plastic bags before placing
them in the oven.
- Do not heat deep-frying oil or fat as the temperature of the oil
cannot be controlled.
- After use, wipe the waveguide cover with a damp cloth, followed
by a dry cloth to remove any splashes of food and grease. Built-up
grease may overheat and smoke or catch re.
- If materials inside the oven smoke or ignite, keep the oven door
closed, turn o the oven and disconnect the power supply.
- When heating food in plastic or paper containers, keep an eye on
the oven as there is a possibility of the containers igniting.
To reduce the risk of explosion and sudden boiling:
- Liquids and other foods must not be heated in sealed containers
as they are liable to explode. Baby bottles tted with a screw cap or
teat are considered to be sealed containers.
- Use wide-mouthed containers to heat liquids, and do not take
the heated liquid out immediately. Wait for a few minutes before
removing in order to avoid possible hazards caused by the delayed
eruptive boiling of the liquid.
- Potatoes, sausages and chestnuts should be peeled or pierced
before cooking. Eggs in their shells and whole hard -boiled eggs
should not be heated in microwave ovens as they may explode even
after microwave heating has ended.
- The contents of feeding bottles and baby food jars must be stirred
or shaken and the temperature checked before consumption to
avoid burns.
8
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the
manufacturer or its service agent or a qualied technician,
to avoid an electric shock hazard.
After cooking, containers are very hot. Use gloves to take out the
food and avoid steam burns by directing steam away from the face
and hands.
Slowly lift the furthest edge of dish covers and microwave plastic
wraps, and carefully open popcorn and oven cooking bags away
from the face.
To prevent the turntable from breaking:
- Let the turntable cool down before cleaning.
- Do not place hot foods or utensils on the cold turntable.
- Do not place frozen foods or utensils on the hot turntable.
Make sure the utensils do not touch the interior walls during
cooking.
Only use utensils that are suitable for use in microwave ovens.
Do not store food or anything else inside the oven.
Do not operate the oven with no liquid or food inside it. This would
damage the oven.
When the appliance is operated in the combination mode, children
should only use it under adult supervision due to the temperatures
generated.
Any accessories not recommended by the manufacturer may cause
physical injuries.

Installation
Remove all the packing. If there is a safety lm over the oven,
remove it before use. Check carefully for damage. If any is found,
immediately notify the dealer or send the appliance to the
manufacturer’s service center.
Microwave ovens must be placed in a dry and non-corrosive
environment, and kept away from heat and humidity, such gas
burners or water tanks.

To ensure suicient ventilation, the distance of the back of the
microwave from the wall should be at least 10 cm. The distance from
the side to the wall should be at least 5 cm. The clearance above the
top surface should be at least 20 cm. The distance of the microwave
from the oor should be at least 85 cm.
The position of the oven must be such that it is far from TVs, radios
or antennas as it may cause interference. The distance should be
more than 5 m.
The appliance must be positioned so that the plug is accessible. It
must be correctly grounded in the event of leakage. A ground loop
can be formed to avoid electric shock.
The microwave oven must be operated with the door closed.
The microwave oven must not be placed in a cabinet. The
microwave oven is intended to be used freestanding.
The back of the oven must be placed against a wall.
As there may be manufacturing residue or oil still inside the oven
or on the heating element at rst, there will be an odor or even a
little smoke. This is normal and will stop after several uses. Keep
a door or window open to provide good ventilation. It is strongly
recommended to place a cup of water on the turntable, set to high
power and operate for several times.

Cooking tips
The following factors may aect the cooking results.
Food layout
Place thicker areas towards the outside of the dish, thinner parts
towards the center and spread evenly. Do not overlap if possible.
Cooking time
Start cooking with a short time setting, assess the cooking when it
times out and extend it until the food is cooked. Overcooking may
result in smoke and burns.
Cooking food evenly
Foods such as chicken, hamburgers or steaks should be turned once
during cooking.
Depending on the type of food, if applicable, stir from outside to the
center of the dish once or twice during cooking.
Standing time
After cooking completes, leave the food in the oven for a suitable
length of time, this allows it to complete its cooking cycle and cool
down gradually.
Checking if the food is cooked
The color and hardness of the food help to determine if it is cooked,
these include:
Steam coming out from all parts of the food, not just the edges;
Poultry joints can be moved easily;
Pork or poultry shows no signs of blood;
Fish is opaque and can be sliced easily with a fork.

Browning dish
When using a browning dish or self-heating container, always place a
heat-resistant insulator such as a porcelain plate under it to prevent
damage to the turntable and rotating ring.
