PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE

TO EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY

(a) Do not attempt to operate this oven with the door open since open-door operation can result in harmful

exposure to microwave energy. It is important not to defeat or tamper with the safety interlocks.

(b) Do not p lace any object between the oven front face and the door or allow soil or cleaner residue to

accumulate on sealing surfaces.

(c) WARNING : If the door or door seals are damaged, the oven must not be operated until it has been repaired by

a competent person : (1) door (bent), (2) hinges and latches(broken or loosened), (3) door seals and sealing
surfaces.

(d) WARNING : It is hazardous for anyone other than a competent person to carry out any service or repair

operation which involves the removal of a cover which gives protection against exposure to microwave energy.

(e) WARNING : Liquids or other foods must not be heated in sealed containers since they are liable to explode.
(f) WARNING : 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.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

SAVE THESE 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 observed, 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.

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

3

EARTHING INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance must be earthed. In the event of an electrical short circuit, earthing reduces the risk of electric
shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current. This appliance is equipped with a cord having a
earthing wire with a earthing plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and earthed.

WARNING : Improper use of the earthing plug can result in a risk of electric shock. Consult a

qualified electrician or serviceman if the earthing instructions are not completely
understood, or if doubt exists as to whether the appliance is properly earthed. If it is
necessary to use an extension cord, use only a 3-wire extension cord that has a 3­blade earthing plug, and a 3-slot receptacle that will accept the plug on the appliance.
The marked rating of the extension cord should be equal to or greater than the
electrical rating of the appliance.

INSTALLATION

1. 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 above 3 inches of space
between oven sides, rear and the minimum
height of free space necesary above the top
surface of the oven is 100mm.

2. Steady, flat location

This oven should be set on a steady, flat
surface. This oven is designed for counter top
use only.

3. Leave space behind and side

All air vents should be kept a clearance. If all
vents are covered during operation, the oven
may overheat and, eventually, oven failure.

4. 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 and so on. Position the
oven as far from them as possible.

5. Away from heating appliance and water
taps

Keep the oven away from hot air, steam or
Splash when choosing a place to position it, or
the insulation might be adversely affected and
breakdowns occur.

6. Power supply

• Check your locla power source. This oven
requires a current of approximately 6
amperes, 220~240V 50Hz.

• Power supply cord is about 0.8 meters long.

• The voltage used must be the same as
specified on this oven. Using a higher voltage
may result in a fire or other accident causing
oven damage. Using low voltage will cause
slow cooking. We are not responsible for
damage resulting from use of this oven with a
voltage of ampere fuse other than those
specified.

• If the supply cord is damaged, it must be
replaced by the manufacturer or its service
agent or a similarly qualified person in order to
avoid a hazard.

7. Examine the oven after unpacking for any
damage such as:

A misaligned door, Broken door, A dent in
cavity. If any of the above are visible, DO NOT
INSTALL, and notify dealer immediately.

8. Do not operate the oven if it is colder than
room temperature.

(This may occur during delivery in cold
weather.) Allow the oven to become room
temperature before operating.

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 !

24

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.

25

COOKING UTENSILS

Recommended Use

•Glass and glass-ceramic bowls and Dishes - Use for heating or cooking.

• Microwave browning dish - Use to brown the exterior of small items such as steaks, chops, or pancakes.
Follow the directions provided with you browning dish.

• Microwaveable plastic wrap - Use to retain steam. Leave a small opening for some steam to escape and
avoid placing it directly on the food.

• Wax paper - Use as a cover to prevent spattering.

• Paper towels, and napkins and cups - Use for short term heating and covering; they absorb excess
moisture 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 roll 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 used.

• Thermometers - Use only those labeled “Microwave Safe” and follow all directions. Check the food in several
places. Conventional thermometers may be used once the food has been removed from the oven.

• Microwave cling film, microwave roasting bags - Microwave cling film and bags must be vented for steam
to escape, pierce in 4~5 places. Do not use plastic or metal ties as they may melt or catch fire due to electrical
‘arcing’.

Limited Use

• Aluminum foil - Use narrow strips of foil to prevent overcooking of exposed areas. Using too much toil can
damage your oven, so be careful.

• Ceramic, porcelain, and stoneware - Use these if they are labeled “Microwave Safe.” If they are not
labeled, test them to make sure they can be used safely. Never use dishes with metalic trim.

• Plastic - Use only if labeled “Microwave Safe.” Other plastics can melt.

• Thin plastic, paper, straw and wooden containers - Always attend the oven closely. Look at the oven from
time to time when cooking or reheating food in disposable containers of plastic, paper or other combustible
material. Only use for warming food. Pay special attention as over-heating may cause a fire in your oven.

Not Recommended

• Glass jars and bottles - Regular glass is too thin to be used in a microwave, and can shatter.

• Paper bags - These are a fire hazard, except for popcorn bags that are designed for microwave use.

• Styrofoam plates and cups - These can melt and leave an unhealthy residue on food.

• Plastic storage and food containers - Containers such as margarine tubs can melt in the microwave.

• Metal utensils - These can damage your oven. Remove all metal before cooking.

COOKING INSTRUCTIONS

Only use utensils that 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.

26

USE YOUR MICROW AVE OVEN SAFEL Y

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.

ARCING

If you see arcing, press 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.

27

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

28

• 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).
