SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
18. 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.
19. Never heat oil or fat for deep frying as you cannot control the temperature and doing so may lead to overheating and fire.
20. 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.
If you see arcing, press Stop/Clear pad and correct the problem. Arcing is the microwave term for sparks in the oven. Arcing is caused by : a) Metal or foil touching the side of the oven. b) Foil not molded to food (upturned edges act
like antennas).
c) Metal such as twist-ties, poultry pins, or
gold rimmed dishes in the microwave.
d) Recycled paper towels containing small
metal pieces being used in the microwave.

This appliance must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, the grounding plug reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for electric current. This appliance is equipped with a cord having a grounding wire with a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded.
WARNING
Improper use of the grounding can result in a risk of electric shock. Consult a qualified electrician or serviceman if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if doubt exists as to whether the appliance is properly grounded, and either : (1) If it is necessary to use an extension cord, use only a 3-wire extension cord that has a 3-blade grounding plug, and a 3-slot receptacle that will accept the plug on the appliance. The marked rating of the extension cord shall be equal to or greater than the electrical rating of the appliance. or (2) Do not use an extension cord, if the power supply cord is too short, have a qualified electrician or serviceman install an outlet near the appliance.
WARNING
Do not cut or remove the third(ground) prong from the power cord under any circumstances.
USING AN ADAPTER
Due to potential safety hazards, we strongly recommend against the use of an adapter plug. However, if the still elect to use an adapter, where local codes may permit, a TEMPORARY CONNECTION may be made to a properly grounded two prong wall receptacle by the use of a UL/CSA listed adapter, which is avilable at most hardware stores.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
5
AVOID inserting nails, wire, etc. through any holes in the unit while operating the oven. Never insert a wire, nails or any other metal object through the holes on the cavity or any other holes or gaps because such objects may cause electric shock and microwave leakage.
UTENSILS
METAL CONTAINERS or dishes with metallic rims should not be used. Arcing may occur.
METAL TWIST-TIE must not be used in the microwave oven.
DO NOT use SEALED JARS or NARROW NECK buttles for cooking or reheating. They may shatter.
DO NOT use CONVENTIONAL THERMOMETERS in the microwave oven. They may cause arcing.
Remove PLASTIC STORE WRAPS before cooking or defrosting in the oven.
For FURTHER INFORMATION on proper cooking utensils, refer to the Introduction in the Microwave cooking guide.
FOOD
Never use your microwave oven for HOME CANNING. The oven is not designed to permit proper canning. Improperly canned food may spoil and be dangerous to consume.
COOKING TIMES given in the cooking guide are APPROXIMATE. Factors that may affect cooking are: starting temperature, altitude, volume, size and shape of foods and utensils used. As you become familiar with the oven, you will be able to adjust for these factors.
It is better to UNDERCOOK RATHER THAN OVENCOOK foods. If food is undercooked, it can always be returned to the oven for further cooking. If food is overcooked, nothing can be done. Always start with minimum cooking times.
SMALL QUANTITIES of food or foods with LOW MOISTURE content can burn, dry out or catch on fire if cooked too long.
DO NOT boil eggs in their shell. Pressure may build up and the eggs will explode.
Potatoes, apples, egg yolks, whole acom squash and sausage are examples of food with NONPOROUS SKINS. These must be pierced before cooking to prevent bursting.
POPCORN must be popped in a microwave corn popper. Microwave popped corn produces a lower yield than conventional popping. Do not pop popcorn unless popped in a microwave approved popcorn utensils or unless it’s commercially packaged and recommended especially for microwave ovens. Do not use oil unless specifed by the manufacturer.
DO NOT attempt to deep fat fry in your oven.
HEATED LIQUIDS can ERUPT if not mixed with air. Do not heat liquids in your microwave oven without first stirring.

Examine the oven after unpacking.
Check for damage such as a misaligned door, broken door or dent in the cavity. If any damage is visible, DO NOT INSTALL, and notify your dealer immediately.
Level, flat location.
Install the microwave oven on a level, flat surface.
Ventilation.
Do not block air vents. If they are blocked during operation, the oven may overheat and eventually cause a failure. For proper ventilation, allow 3 inches of space between oven top, sides, rear and adjacent surfaces.
Away from radio and TV sets.
Poor television reception and radio interference may result if the oven is located close to a TV, radio, antenna, feeder, etc. Place the oven as far from them as possible.
Away from heating appliances and water taps.
Keep the oven away from heat, steam or splashing liquids when choosing a place to position it, otherwise the insulation might be adversely attected and breakdowns may occur.
Power supply.
This microwave oven requires a power supply of approximately 15 Amperes, 230 Volts, 50Hz and a grounded outlet. A short power cord is provided to reduce the risk of the user becoming entangled in or tripping oven longer cord. Longer cord sets or extension cords are available and may be used if care to exercised in their use. If an extension cord is used, the marked electrical rating of the cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the oven. The extension cord must be a grounding-type 3-wire cord. The longer cord should be arranged so it does not drape over the table top or counter where children can pull on it or trip over it.
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.

COOKING UTENSILS
Utensils should be checked to ensure that they are suitable for use in microwave ovens. Microwave energy is produced by high frequency radio waves. They are reflected from metal, but will pass through most cooking utensils without heating them. As the waves come into contact with the food, they are converted into heat energy. Listed below are the suggested cooking utensils for this microwave oven and when to use them.
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 pads.
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 trained 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 trained service technician.

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 temperature. Check carefully!
3. It is possible to use aluminum 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.

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.

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 or use the preset
POPCORN pad. 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.
19
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 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.

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.
In a microwave oven, electricity is converted into microwave by the MAGNETRON.
REFLECTION
The microwaves bounce off the metal walls and the metal door screen.
TRANSMISSION
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.
ABSORPTION
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(4­5cm) and as heat spreads through the food by conduction, just as in a traditional oven, the food cooks from the outside inwards.

CONVERSION CHARTS
21
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
22
• 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).
