Setup and Installation
Unpacking
Carefully remove the microwave oven from its packaging. Remove all packing materials, including any protective film or tape from the oven surfaces. Check the oven for any damage, such as dents or a misaligned door. If any damage is observed, do not operate the oven and contact your dealer.
Placement
Place the oven on a flat, stable surface that can support its weight and the heaviest food item likely to be cooked in it. Ensure there is adequate ventilation around the oven. Maintain a minimum clearance of 20 cm (8 inches) above the oven, 10 cm (4 inches) at the rear, and 5 cm (2 inches) on the sides.
Do not place the oven near heat sources such as a conventional oven or radiator, or in a damp area like near a sink. Avoid placing it where it might be exposed to direct sunlight.
Electrical Connection
Ensure the voltage specified on the rating label matches your local power supply. The oven operates on 220 Volts. Plug the oven into a properly grounded wall outlet. Do not use extension cords or multiple outlet adapters.

Maintenance and Cleaning
Regular cleaning helps maintain the performance and longevity of your microwave oven.
- Exterior: Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
- Interior: Clean the interior cavity after each use. For stubborn food splatters, place a bowl of water with lemon slices inside and microwave for 5-10 minutes. The steam will loosen food particles, making them easier to wipe away.
- Door and Door Seals: Keep the door and door seals clean to ensure proper closure. Wipe with a soft, damp cloth.
- Turntable and Support: The glass turntable and roller ring can be removed and washed in warm, soapy water or in a dishwasher. Ensure they are completely dry before placing them back in the oven.
- Grill Element: For grill and convection functions, ensure the interior is clean to prevent smoke or odors from burnt food residue.
Always unplug the oven before cleaning.
