IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

READ CAREFULLY AND KEEP FOR FUTURE REFERENCE

WARNING : To prevent fire, burns, electric shock and other
warnings:

Listed below are, as with all appliances, certain rules to follow
and safeguards to assure high performance from this oven:

1. Do not use the oven for any reason
other than food preparation, such as for
drying clothes, paper, or any other
nonfood items or for sterilizing
purposes.

2. Do not use the oven when empty, this
could damage the oven.

3. Do not use the oven cavity for any type
of storage, such as papers, cookbook,
cookware, etc.

4. Do not operate the oven without the
glass tray in place. Be sure it is properly
sitting on the rotating base.

5. Make sure you remove caps or lids prior
to cooking when you cook food sealed
in bottles.

6. Do not put foreign material between the
oven surface and door. It could result in
excessive leakage of microwave
energy.

7. Do not use recycled paper products for
cooking. They may contain impurities
which could cause sparks and/or fires
when used during cooking.

8. Do not pop popcorn unless popped in a
microwave approved popcorn popper
or unless it's commercially packaged

and recommended especially for
microwave ovens. Microwave popped
corn produces a lower yield than
conventional popping; there will be a
number of unpopped kernels. Do not
use oil unless specified by the
manufacturer.

9. Do not cook any food surrounded by a
membrane, such as egg yolks,
potatoes, chicken livers, etc., without
first piercing them several times with a
fork.

10. Do not pop popcorn longer than the
manufacturer's directions. (popping time
is generally below 3 minutes). Longer
cooking does not yield more popped
corn, it can cause scorchings and fire.

Also, the cooking tray can become too
hot to handle or may break.

11. If smoke is emitted, switch off or unplug
the appliance and keep the door closed
in order to stifle any flames.

12. When heating food in plastic or paper
containers, keep an eye on the oven
due to the possibility of ignition.

4

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

13. The contents of feeding bottles and
baby food jars shall be stirred or
shaken and the temperature checked
before consumption, in order to avoid
burns.

14. Always test the temperature of food or
drink which has been heated in a
microwave oven before you give it to
somebody, especially to children or
elderly people. This is important
because things which have been
heated in a microwave oven carry on
getting hotter even though the
microwave oven cooking has
stopped.

15. Eggs in their shell and whole hard­boiled eggs should not be heated in
microwave ovens since they may
explode, even after microwave
heating has ended;

16. Keep the waveguide cover clean at all
times. Wipe the oven interior with a
soft damp cloth after each use. If you
leave grease or fat anywhere in the
cavity it may overheat, smoke or even
catch fire when next using the oven.

17. Never heat oil or fat for deep frying as
you cannot control the temperature
and doing so may lead to overheating
and fire.

18. Liquids, such as water, coffee, or tea
are able to be overheated beyond the
boiling point without appearing to be
boiling due to surface tension of the

liquid. Visible bubbling or boiling when
the container is removed from the
microwave oven is not always
present. THIS COULD RESULT IN
VERY HOT LIQUIDS SUDDENLY
BOILING OVER WHEN A SPOON
OR OTHER UTENSIL IS INSERTED
INTO THE LIQUID.
To reduce the risk of injury to persons:
a) Do not overheat the liquid.
b) Stir the liquid both before and

halfway through heating it

c) Do not use straight-sided

containers with narrow necks.

d) After heating, allow the container to

stand in the microwave oven for a
short time before removing the
container.

e) Use extreme care when inserting a

spoon or other utensil into the
container.

19. Children should be supervised to
ensure that they do not play with the
appliance.

20. Only use utensils that are suitable for
use in microwave ovens.

21. Microwave heating of beverages can
result in delayed eruptive boiling,
therefore care must be taken when
handling the container.

BEFORE YOU CALL FOR SERVICE

Refer to following checklist, you may prevent an unnecessary service call.

* The oven doesn’t work :

1. Check that the power cord is securely plugged in.

2. Check that the door is firmly closed.

3. Check that the cooking time is set.

4. Check for a blown circuit fuse or tripped main circuit breaker in your house.

* Sparking in the cavity;

1. Check utensils. Metal containers or dishes with metal trim should not be used.

2. Check that metal skewers or foil does not touch the interior walls.

If there is still a problem, contact the service station.
A list of these stations is included in the oven.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

* Q : I accidentally ran my microwave oven without any food in it. Is it damaged?

* A : Running the oven empty for a short time will not damage the oven. However, it is not

recommended.

* Q : Can the oven be used with the glass tray or roller guide removed?

* A : No. Both the glass tray and roller guide must always be used in the oven before cooking.

* Q : Can I open the door when the oven is operating?

* A : The door can be opened anytime during the cooking operation. Then microwave energy will be

instantly switched off and the time setting will maintain until the door is closed.

* Q : Why do I have moisture in my microwave oven after cooking?

* A : The moisture on the side of your microwave oven is normal. It is caused by steam from cooking

food hitting the cool oven surface.

* Q : Does microwave energy pass through the viewing screen in the door?

* A : No. The metal screen bounces back the energy to the oven cavity. The holes are made to allow

light to pass through. They do not let microwave energy pass through.

* Q : Why do eggs sometimes pop?

* A : When baking or poaching eggs, the yolk may pop due to steam build-up inside the yolk membrane.

To prevent this, simply pierce the yolk with a toothpick before cooking. Never cook eggs without
piercing their shells.

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO SERVICE THE OVEN YOURSELF !

20

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS (continued)

* Q : Why this standing time recommended after the cooking operation has been completed?

* A : Standing time is very important.

With microwave cooking, the heat is in the food, not in the oven. Many foods build up enough
internal heat to allow the cooking process to continue, even after the food is removed from the
oven. Standing time for joints of meat, large vegetables and cakes is to allow the inside to cook
completely, without overcooking the outside.

* Q : What does “standing time” mean?

* A : “Standing time” means that food should be removed from the oven and covered for additional time

to allow it to finish cooking. This frees the oven for other cooking.

* Q : Why does my oven not always cook as fast as the microwave cooking guide says?

* A : Check your cooking guide again, to make sure you’ve followed directions exactly ; and to see what

might cause variations in cooking time. Cooking guide times and heat settings are suggestions, to

help prevent over-cooking... the most common problem in getting used to a microwave oven.
Variations in the size, shape and weights and dimensions could require longer cooking time. Use
your own judgement along with the cooking guide suggestions to check whether the food has been
properly cooked just as you would do with a conventional cooker.

* Q : Will the microwave oven be damaged if it operates while empty?

* A : Yes. Never run it empty.

* Q : Can I operate my microwave oven without the turntable or turn the turntable over to hold a

large dish?

* A : No. If you remove or turn over the turntable, you will get poor cooking results. Dishes used in your

oven must fit on the turntable.

* Q : Is it normal for the turntable to turn in either direction?

* A : Yes. The turntable rotates clockwise or counterclockwise, depending on the rotation of the motor

when the cooking cycle begins.

* Q : Can I pop popcorn in my microwave oven? How do I get the best results?

* A : Yes. Pop packaged microwave popcorn following manufacture’s guidelines. Do not use regular

paper bags. Use the “listening test” by stopping the oven as soon as the popping slows to a “pop”

every 1 or 2 seconds. Do not repop unpopped kernels. Do not pop popcorn in glass cookware.

COOKING UTENSILS

COOKING INSTRUCTIONS

Utensils should be checked to ensure that they are suitable for use in microwave ovens.

UTENSILS TEST

Place the utensil in question next to a glass measure filled with water, in the microwave oven. Microwave at high
power for 1-2 minutes. If the water heats up, but the utensil remains cool, the utensil is microwave-safe. However
if the utensil becomes warm, microwaves are being absorbed by the utensil and it should not be in the microwave
oven. You probably have many items on hand in your kitchen right now that can be used as cooking equipment in
your microwave oven. Read through the following checklist.

Microwave function only

Utensils and cooking containers used in a microwave
oven should be of a material that does not act as a barrier
to microwave energy. Generally this means that you
should cook in either (paper), plastic, glass or ceramic.
Metal pans reflect microwave energy and inhibit cooking,

and should not be used. In addition to material, the shape
of the container should also be considered. Round oval
shapes give the most even cooking. Square or rectangular
containers may over-cook foods in the corners because
more energy is absorbed there.
Shallow containers give more even cooking results.
Utensils made of china and ceramic are excellent to use in
your microwave oven. Most types of glass are also very
good. Lead crystal glass can crack and should therefore,
not be used. Plastics and paper can also be used,
provided they can withstand the temperature of the heated
food. For cooking only use plastics, which will withstand a
temperature of over 120˚C, e.g. polypropene and
polyamide. Some plastic materials, e.g. melamine, will be
heated by the microwave, and be damaged. To find out if
a certain container is suitable, the following simple test can
be made:
Place the empty container and a glass of water inside the
microwave oven. The water is needed because the oven
must not be operated empty or with empty containers only.
Let the oven work on full power for one minute. A suitable
container will only be lukewarm.

Metal containers, e.g. saucepans or frying pans should not
be used in microwave ovens. Nor should plates or vessels
with decorations be used since metal e.g. gold, might be
part of the decoration and such decorations will be
damaged. Small pieces of aluminiuum foil can be used,
but only to shield the areas that would
over-cook (e.g. for covering chicken
wings, leg tips and fish tails) but the foil
must not touch the side of the oven as
damage may occur.

Caution:

• There are a number of accessories available on the
market. Before you buy, make sure they are suitable for
microwave use.

• When you put food in the microwave oven, make sure
that food, food supports or covering do not come in
direct contact with any of the internal walls or the ceiling
of the cavity since discolouration may take place.

Before use, the user should check that utensils are suitable for use in microwave ovens.

1. Without metal parts or metal trims.

2. Some plastics are heat-proof only to certain
temperatures. Check carefully!

3. It is possible to use aluminium foil to shield delicate
areas of food (this prevents over-cooking).

4. Metal tins can be used in the combination methods,
however if these are very deep, they will greatly
reduce the efficiency, as metal shields the
microwave energy from the food.

5. Use for short term heating and covering ; they
absorb excess misture when warming food. Pay
special attention as over-heating may cause a fire in
your oven. Do not use re-cycled paper products, e.g.
kitchen towels unless they say they are specifically
designed for use in a microwave oven.
These products contain impuities which may cause
sparks and/or fires when use.

USE YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN SAFELY

General Use

Do not attempt to defeat or tamper with safety interlocks.
Do not place any object between the oven front frame and the door or allow residue to build up on sealing
surfaces. Wipe with a mild detergent, rinse and dry. Never use abrasive powders or pads.
Do not subject the oven door to strain or weight such as a child hanging on an open door.
This could cause the oven to fall forward resulting in injury to you and damage to the oven.
Do not operate the oven if door seals or sealing surfaces are damaged; or if door is bent; or if hinges are
loose or broken.
Do not operate the oven empty. This will damage the oven.
Do not attempt to dry clothes, newspapers or other materials in the oven. They may catch on fire.
Do not use recycled paper products as they may contain impurities which may cause sparks or fires.
Do not hit or strike the control panel with hard objects. This can damage the oven.

Food

Never use your microwave oven for home canning. The oven is not designed for proper home canning.
Improperly canned food may spoil and be dangerous to consume.
Always use the minimum recipe cooking time. It is better to undercook rather than overcook foods.
Undercooked foods can be returned to the oven for more cooking. If food is overcooked, nothing can be
done.
Heat small quantities of food or foods carefully with low moisture carefully. These can quickly dry out, burn or
catch on fire.
Do not heat eggs in the shell. Pressure may build up and eggs can explode.
Potatoes, apples, egg yolks and sausages are examples of food with non-porous skins.
These must be pierced before cooking to prevent bursting.
Do not attempt to deep fat fry in your microwave oven.
Always stir liquids before heating. Heated liquids can erupt, if not mixed with air.
Do not leave the oven unattended while popping corn.
Do not pop corn in a paper bag unless it is the commercially prepared Microwave Popcorn product. The
kernels can overheat and ignite a brown paper bag.
Do not put packaged Microwave Popcorn bags directly on the oven tray. Place the package on a microwave
safe glass or ceramic plate to avoid overheating and cracking the oven tray.
Do not exceed the Microwave Popcorn manufacturers suggested popping time.
Longer popping does not yield more popcorn but it can result in scorch, burn of fire. Remember, the Popcorn
bag and tray can be too hot to handle. Remove with caution and use pot holders.

ARCING

If you see arcing, press the STOP/CLEAR button and correct the problem.

Arcing is the microwave term for sparks in the oven.
Arcing is caused by:

• Metal or foil touching the side of the oven.

• Foil not molded to food (upturned edges act like antennas).

• Metal, such as twist-ties, poultry pins, or gold rimmed dishes, in the microwave.

• Recycled paper towels containing small metal pieces being used in the microwave.

23

MICROWAVING PRINCIPLES

Microwave energy has been used in this country to cook and reheat food since early experiments with
RADAR in World War ll. Microwaves are present in the atmosphere all the time, both naturally and
manmade sources. Manmade sources include radar, radio, television, telecommunication links and car
phones.

Then they pass through the
cooking containers to be
absorbed by the water
molecules in the food, all
foods contain water to a
more or lesser extent.

The microwaves cause the water molecules to
vibrate which causes FRICTION, i.e. HEAT. This
heat then cooks the food. Microwaves are also
attracted to fat and sugar particles, and foods high in
these will cook more quickly. Microwaves can only
penetrate to a depth of 11/2 - 2 inches(4-5cm) and
as heat spreads through the food by conduction, just
as in a traditional oven, the food cooks from the
outside inwards.

In a microwave oven,
electricity is converted
into microwave by the
MAGNETRON.

The microwaves
bounce off the metal
walls and the metal
door screen.

STANDING TIME

Dense foods e.g. meat, jacket potatoes and cakes,
require standing time(inside or outside of the oven)
after cooking, to allow heat to finish conducting to
cook the center completely. Wrap meat joints and
jacket potatoes in aluminium foil while standing.
Meat joints need approx. 10-15 minutes, jacket
potatoes 5 minutes. Other foods such as plated
meal, vegetables, fish etc require 2-5 minutes
standing. After defrosting food, standing time should
also be allowed. If food is not cooked after standing
time, return to the oven and cook for additional time.

MOISTURE CONTENT

Many fresh foods e.g. vegetables and fruit, vary in
their moisture content throughout the season,
particularly jacket potatoes. For this reason cooking
times may have to be adjusted. Dry ingredients e.g.
rice, pasta, can dry out during storage so cooking
times may differ.

DENSITY

Porous airy foods heat more quickly than dense
heavy foods.

CLING FILM

Cling film helps keep the food moist and the trapped
steam assists in speeding up cooking times. Pierce
before cooking to allow excess steam to escape.
Always take care when removing cling film from a
dish as the build-up of steam will be very hot.

SHAPE

Even shapes cook evenly. Food cooks better by
microwave when in a round container rather than
square.

SPACING

Foods cook more quickly and evenly if spaced
apart. NEVER pile foods on top of each other.

STARTING TEMPERATURE

The colder the food, the longer it takes to heat up.
Food from a fridge takes longer to reheat than food
at room temperature.

LIQUIDS

All liquids must be stirred before and during heating.
Water especially must be stirred before and during
heating, to avoid eruption. Do not heat liquids that
have previously been boiled. DO NOT OVERHEAT.

TURNING & STIRRING

Some foods require stirring during cooking. Meat
and poultry should be turned after half the cooking
time.

ARRANGING

Individual foods e.g. chicken portions or chops,
should be placed on a dish so that the thicker parts
are towards the outside.

QUANTITY

Small quantities cook faster than large quantities,
also small meals will reheat more quickly than large
portions.

PIERCING

The skin or membrane on some foods will cause
steam to build up during cooking. These foods must
be pierced or a strip of skin should be peeled off
before cooking to allow the steam to escape. Eggs,
potatoes, apples, sausages etc, will all need to be
pierced before cooking. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO
BOIL EGGS IN THEIR SHELLS.

COVERING

Cover foods with microwave cling film or a lid. Cover
fish, vegetables, casseroles, soups. Do not cover
cakes, sauces, jacket potatoes or pastry items.

COOKING TECHNIQUES

25

• Do not defrost covered meat. Covering might allow cooking
to take place. Always remove outer wrap and tray. Use only
containers that are microwave-safe.

• Begin defrosting whole poultry breast-side- down. Begin
defrosting roasts fat-side-down.

• The shape of the package alters the defrosting time.
Shallow rectangular shapes defrost more quickly than a
deep block.

• After

1

/3 of the defrost time has elapsed, check the food. Toy
may wish to turn over, break apart, rearrange or remove
thawed portions of the food.

• During defrost, the oven will prompt you to turn the over. At
this point, open oven door and check the food. Follow the
techniques listed below for optimum defrost results.
Then, close oven door, touch the START pad to complete
defrosting.

• When defrosted, food should be cool, but softened in all

areas. If still slightly icy, return to microwave oven very
briefly, or let stand a few minutes. After defrosting, allow
food to stand 5-60 minutes if there are any icy areas.
Poultry and fish may be placed under running cool water
until defrosted

➪ Turn over : Roast, ribs, whole poultry, turkey breasts, hot

dogs, sausages, steaks, or chops.

➪ Rearrange : Break apart or separate steaks, chops,

hamburger patties, ground meat, chicken or seafood
pieces, chunks of meat such as stew beef.

➪ Shield : Use small strips of aluminum foil to protect thin

areas or edges of unevenly shaped foods such as chicken
wings. To prevent arching, do not allow foil to come within
1-inch of oven walls or door.

➪ Remove : To prevent cooking, thawed portions should be

removed from the oven at this point. This may shorten
defrost time for food weighing less than 3 lbs.(1350g).
