INSTRUCTIONS” found on page 3.

14. Install or locate this appliance only in accordance with

the provided installation instructions.

15. Some products such as whole eggs and sealed

containers - for example, closed glass jars are able to
explode and should not be heated in this oven.

16. Use this appliance only for its intended use as

described in this manual. Do not use corrosive
chemicals or vapors in this appliance. This type of
oven is specifically designed to heat, cook, or dry food.
It is not designed for industrial or laboratory use.

17. Only allow children to use the oven without

supervision when adequate instructions have been
given so that the child is able to use the oven in a safe
way and understands the hazards of improper use.

18. Do not operate this appliance if it has a damaged cord

or plug, if it is not working properly, or if it has been
damaged or dropped.

19. This appliance should be serviced only by qualified

service personnel.
Contact nearest authorized service facility for

examination, repair or adjustment.

10. Do not cover or block any openings on the appliance.

11. Do not store this appliance outdoors. Do not use this

product near water — for example, near a kitchen
sink, in a wet basement, near a swimming pool, or
similar locations.

12. Do not immerse cord or plug in water.

13. Keep cord away from heated surfaces.

14. Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter.

15. Either.

a) When cleaning surfaces of door and oven that
comes together on closing the door, use only mild,
non-abrasive soaps or detergents applied with a
sponge or soft cloth., or

b) When separate cleaning instructions are provided
See door surface cleaning instructions on.

16. To reduce the risk of fire in the oven cavity:
a) Do not overcook food. Carefully attend appliance

when paper, plastic, or other combustible materials
are placed inside the oven to facilitate cooking.

b) Remove wire twist-ties from paper or plastic bags

before placing bag in oven.

c) If materials inside the oven ignite, keep oven door

closed, turn oven off, and disconnect the power
cord, or shut off power at the fuse or circuit breaker
panel.

d) Do not use the cavity for storage purposes. Do not

leave paper products, cooking utensils, or food in
the cavity when not in use.

17. 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.

the container.

e) Use extreme care when inserting a spoon or other

utensil into the container.

18. Do not use this microwave oven to heat corrosive
chemicals (for example, sulfides and chlorides).
Vapors from such corrosive chemicals may interact
with the contact and springs of the safety interlock
switches thereby rendering them inoperable.

19. 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.

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

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

FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION
RADIO FREQUENCY INTERFERENCE STATEMENT

GROUNDING INSTR UCTIONS

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:

This equipment generates and uses ISM frequency energy and if not installed and used properly, that is in
strict accordance with the manufacturer's instructions, may cause interference to radio and television
reception.
It has been type-tested and found to comply with limits for an ISM Equipment pursuant to part 18 of FCC
Rules, which are designed to provide reasonable protection against such interference in a residential
installation.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation.
If this equipment does cause interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by
turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more
of the followings.

• Reorient the receiving antenna of radio or television.

• Relocate the Microwave oven with respect to the receiver.

• Move the microwave oven away from the receiver.

• Plug the microwave oven into a different outlet so that microwave oven and receiver are on
different branch circuits.

THE MANUFACTURER is not responsible for any radio or TV interference caused by
UNAUTHORIZED MODIFICATION to this microwave oven. It is the responsibility of the user to correct
such interference.

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.

a longer cord.

2. Longer cord sets or extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use.

3. If a long cord or extension cord is used:

• The marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension 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 that it will not drape over the table top or counter where it can be

pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally.

7. The minimum height of free space necessary above the top surface of the oven is about 4 inches.

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.

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

21

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 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.

BEFORE YOU CALL FOR SER VICE

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.

22

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 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.

USE YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN SAFELY

General Use

Food

ARCING

If you see arcing, open the door 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.

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.

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.

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.

CONVERSION CHARTS

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

REFLECTION

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 1

1

/

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.

The microwaves bounce

the metal door screen.

26

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

DEFROSTING GUIDE

|Do not defrost covered meat. Covering might allow

cooking to take place. Always remove outer wrap
and tray. Use only containers that are microwave­safe.

|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 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).
