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.

SENSOR OPERATIONS

The Sensor Cook categories are designed to detect the increasing humidity released by the food during the
cooking process. The microwave oven sensor will automatically adjust the cooking time to the type and amount of
food.

using sensor settings

1. After the oven is plugged in, wait 2 minutes before
using Sensor Cook.

2. Be sure the exterior of the cooking container and the
interior of the oven are dry. Wipe off any moisture with
a dry cloth or paper towel.

3. The oven works with foods at normal storage
temperature.

4. More or less food than the quantity listed in the chart
should be cooked following the guidelines in any
microwave cookbook.

5. Do not open the oven door or touch STOP/CLEAR
pad until cooking time appears on the display window.
The measurement of vapor will be interrupted. If this
occurs, an error message will appear. To continue
cooking, touch the STOP/CLEAR pad and cook
manually.

When the sensor detects the vapor emitted from the
food, the remainder of cooking time will appear.

The door may be opened when remaining cooking
time appears on the display. At this time, you may stir
or season food, as desired.

6. Always use microwave-safe containers and cover
them with loose fitting lids or vented plastic wrap.

Never use tight sealing plastic containers. They will
prevent steam from escaping and this will mislead the
sensor, usually causing the food to overcook.

7. Check food for temperature or doneness after
cooking. If food is not completely cooked, enter
additional cooking time manually. Do not use one of
the Sensor Cook categories twice in succession on
the same food portion. This may result in severely
overcooked or burnt food.

covering foods

Some foods work best when covered. Use the cover
recommended in the Sensor Cook Chart for these foods.

1. Casserole lid.

2. Plastic wrap : Use plastic wrap recommended for
microwave cooking. Cover dish loosely; allow
approximately 1/2 inch to remain uncovered to allow
steam to escape. Plastic wrap should not touch food.

3. Wax paper : Cover dish completely; fold excess wrap
under dish to secure. If dish is wider than paper,
overlap two pieces at least one inch to cover.

Be careful when removing any covering to allow
steam to escape away from you.

SENSOR REHEAT

Sensor is semi-conductor device that detects the vapor emitted from the food as it heats. The sensor
adjusts the cooking time and power level for various food and quantities and you don't need to enter
the weight or quantity of the food.

When the sensor detects the vapor emitted
from the food, the remainder of cooking time
will appear.

1. Touch SENSOR REHEAT
pad.

16

SENSOR COOK CHART

Place in dish or casserole slightly larger than amount to be
reheated. Flatten, if possible. Cover with lid, plastic wrap or wax
paper. Use covers such as plastic wrap or lids with larger quantities
of more dense foods such as stews. After reheating, stir well, if
possible. Re-cover and allow to stand 2 to 3 minutes. Foods
should be very hot. if not, continue to heat with variable power and
time.

Use this pad for frozen, convenience foods. It will give satisfactory

CARE OF YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN

Turn the oven off before cleaning.

Keep the inside of the oven clean. When food
spatters or spilled liquids adhere to oven walls,
wipe with a damp cloth. Mild detergent may be
used if the oven gets very dirty.
The use of harsh detergent or abrasives is not
recommended.

The outside oven surface should be cleaned
with soap and water, rinsed and dried with a
soft cloth. To prevent damage to the operating
parts inside the oven, water should not be
allowed to seep into the ventilation openings.

If the Control Panel becomes wet, clean with a
soft, dry cloth. Do not use harsh detergents or
abrasives on Control Panel.

If steam accumulates inside or around the
outside of the oven door, wipe with a soft cloth.
This may occur when the microwave oven is
operated under high humidity conditions and in
no way indicates malfunction of the unit.

It is occasionally necessary to remove the glass
tray for cleaning. Wash the tray in warm sudsy
water or in a dishwasher.

The roller guide and oven cavity floor should be
cleaned regularly to avoid excessive noise.
Simply wipe the bottom surface of the oven with
mild detergent water or window cleaner and dry.
The roller guide may be washed in mild sudsy
water.

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.

* Q : Why is 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 over­cooking... 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.

CARE AND CLEANING

Although your oven is provided with safety features, it is important to observe the following:

1. It is important not to defeat or tamper with safety
interlocks.

2. Do not place any object between the oven front
face and the door or allow residue to accumulate on
sealing surfaces. Wipe the sealing area frequently
with a mild detergent, rinse and dry. Never use
abrasive powders or buttons.

3. When opened, the door must not be subjected to
strain, for example, a child hanging on an opened
door or any load could cause the oven to fall
forward to cause injury and also damage to the
door. Do not operate the oven if it is damaged, until
it has been repaired by a competent service
technician. It is particularly important that the oven
closes properly and that there is no damage to the:
i) Door(bent)
ii) Hinges and Hookes(broken or loosened)
iii) Door seals and sealing surfaces.

4. The oven should not be adjusted or repaired by
anyone except a properly competent service
technician.

5. The oven should be cleaned regularly and any food
deposits removed;

6. Failure to maintain the oven in a clean condition
could lead to deterioration of the surface that could
adversely affect the life of the appliance and
possibly result in a hazardous situation.

7. Do not use harsh abrasive cleaners or sharp metal
scrapers to clean the oven door glass since they
can scratch the surface, which may result in
shattering of the glass.

8. A steam cleaner is not to be used.

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 press
the interior walls.

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

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 buttons.
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 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 allow a standing time of at least 20 seconds
after the oven has been switched off to allow the

temperature to even out, stir during heating, if
necessary, and ALWAYS stir after heating. To
prevent eruptive boiling and possible scalding, you
should put a spoon or glass stick into the beverages
and stir before, during and after heating.
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, touch the CLEAR/OFF pad and correct the problem.

Arcing is the microwave term for sparks in the oven.

Arcing is caused by:

• Metal or foil pressing 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.

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.

HOW MICROWAVES COOK FOOD

Microwave oven is a Group 2 ISM equipment in which radio frequency energy is intentionally generated and
used in the form of electromagnetic radiation for the treatment of material. This oven is a Class B equipment
suitable for use in domestic establishments and in establishments directly connected to a low voltage power
supply network which supplies buildings used for domestic purposes.

1 Gallon = 128 fl.oz. (UK 160 fl.oz.) = 3840 ml (UK 4500 ml)

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 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

26

ᶀ 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.

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

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

block.

ᶀ

After 1/3 of the defrost time has elapsed, check the food.

You may wish to turn over, break apart, rearrange or remove

thawed portions of the food.

ᶀ 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, press the START button to complete defrosting.

ᶀ 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 arcing, 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).
