9. Do not use the microwave for canning and preserving 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 recommend

stirring the product before and in the middle 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 cooking 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 placing 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 purposes 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.

dropped.

10. Repair of the microwave oven should only be conducted by qualified specialists at an authorized

service center.

11. Do not block the ventilation openings on the microwave oven’s housing.

12. Do not store or use the microwave oven outdoors.

13. Do not use the microwave oven near water, immediately 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 understand 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.

• The extension cord should not hang off the edge of the table where children can pull on it; it should be placed

where it will not be walked on.
