Check to ensure the oven is plugged in securely. If not, remove the plug from the outlet, wait 10
seconds, and plug it in again securely.
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.
Check to ensure the control panel is programmed correctly and the timer is set.
Check to ensure the door is securely closed, engaging the door lock system. If the door is not
properly closed, the microwave energy will not flow inside.

Cooking Techniques
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 microwave cooking 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.
Cooking Utensils Guide
1. Microwave cannot penetrate metal. Only use utensils that are suitable for use in microwave
ovens. Metallic containers for food and beverages are not allowed during microwave cooking.
7
This requirement is not applicable if the manufacturer specifies size and shape of metallic
containers suitable for microwave cooking.
2. Microwave cannot 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 1 inch (2.54cm) between foil and cavity.
The list below is a general guide to help you select the correct utensils.

Cleaning and Care
1. Turn off the oven and unplug the power cord from the wall when cleaning.
2. Keep the inside of the oven clean. When food splatters or spilled liquids adhere to oven walls, wipe
with a damp cloth. Mild detergents may be used if the oven gets very dirty. Avoid using spray or other
harsh cleaners. They may stain, streak or dull the door surface.
3. The outside of the oven 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.
4. Wipe the door and window on both sides, the door seals and adjacent parts frequently with a damp
cloth to remove any spills or spatters. Do not use abrasive cleaner.
5. A steam cleaner is not be used.
6. Do not allow the control panel to become wet. Clean with a soft, damp cloth. When cleaning the control
panel, leave oven door open to prevent oven from accidentally turning on.
7. 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 condition. And it is normal.
8. It is occasionally necessary to remove the glass tray for cleaning. Wash the tray in warm sudsy water
or in a dishwasher.
9. 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, soapy water or
in a dishwasher. When removing the roller ring, be sure to replace it in the proper position.
10. Remove odors from your oven by combining a cup of water with the juice and skin of one lemon in a
microwaveable bowl. Microwave for 5 minutes. Wipe thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth.
11. If the light bulb burns out, please contact customer service to have it replaced.
12. The oven should be cleaned regularly and any food deposits should be removed. Failure to maintain
the oven in a clean condition could lead to deterioration of surface that could adversely affect the life of
the unit and could possibly result in a hazardous situation.
13. Please do not dispose of this appliance into the domestic rubbish bin; it should be disposed to the
particular disposal center provided by the municipalities.
14. 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 using.
