Setup

1. Unpacking: Carefully remove the microwave oven and all packing materials from the carton. Check the oven for any damage, such as dents or a misaligned door. Do not operate the oven if it is damaged.
2. Placement: Place the oven on a flat, stable surface that can support its weight and the heaviest food likely to be cooked in it. Ensure there is adequate ventilation space around the oven (at least 20 cm on top, 10 cm at the back, and 5 cm on the sides).
3. Power Connection: Plug the power cord into a standard 240V, 50Hz grounded electrical outlet. Do not use extension cords or adapters.
4. Turntable Assembly: Place the roller ring in the center of the oven floor. Place the glass tray on top of the roller ring, ensuring it is seated securely.
