OPERATING CHECK After unpacking this appliance, examine the new oven for evidence of shipping damage. This is most important since a damaged oven may allow the escape of microwave energy. Make sure you remove all packing from the microwave cavity. Check the oven operation when unpacking the unit and any time the oven is not working properly. 1. Plug the power cord into an earthed electrical socket. 2. Place the glass tray inside the oven cavity. 3. Place a cup of water (at room temperature) inside the oven, on the glass tray. 4. Close the door securely. 5. Set the TIMER for 3 to 4 minutes (note : microwave activity starts). 6. When the cooking time has elapsed,the signal will sound (note: all microwave activity stops). 7. If the oven is operating normally, the water will be hot. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS The microwave oven is designed to be simple and easy to operate. Please follow these instructions carefully. 1. Place the food in a suitable cooking utensil. Open the microwave oven door and place the utensil in the center of the oven on the glass tray. 2. Close the oven door. 3. Turn the TIMER KNOB clockwise to set the cooking time. NOTE : The oven starts as soon as the KNOB is turned. We recommend turning the KNOB past the time you want and then turn back to the desired setting. 4. When the TIMER reaches zero(0), the signal sounds and the oven will automatically shut off. 5. Open the door and remove the food from the oven. 6. To stop cooking before the TIMER reaches zero(0), either open the door or simply turn the TIMER to zero(0).
