PRECA UTIONS T O AVOIDE POSSIBLE EXPOSURE T O EXCESSIVE MICROW AVE 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 place any object between the oven front face and the door or allow soil or cleaner

residue to accumulate on sealing surfaces.

properly and that there is no damage to the: (1) door (bent), (2) hinges and latches (broken or loosened), (3) door seals and sealing surfaces.

(d) The oven should not be adjusted or repaired by anyone except properly qualified service

personnel.

INSTALLATION

Steady, flat location

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

Leave space behind and side

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

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.

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.

Power supply

• Check your local power source. This oven requires a current of approximately 6 amperes, 230V 50Hz.

• Power supply cord is about 1.1 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.

• This appliance is supplied with cable of special type, which, if damaged, must be repaired with cable of same type. Such a cable can be purchased from DAEWOO and must be installed by a Qualified Person.

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.

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

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

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.

6 7

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 3-blade earthing plug, and a 3slot receptacle that will accept the plug on the appliance. The marked ratign of the extension cord should be equal to or greater than the electrical rating of the appliance.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR GENERAL USE

Listed below are, as with all appliances, certain rules to follow and safeguards to assure top 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. Should the microwave oven emit smoke in quantity to indicate a fire, keep the oven door shut, switch the

appliance off and disconnect the mains lead from the outlet.

12. When flammable food containers are used in the oven (e.g. packet popcorn) be sure to check the cooking

process periodically in case fire has occurred.

13. Always stir and/or shake the containers of baby foods prior to testing their temperature and serving the

contents.

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.

* Specifications subject to change without notice.

GENERAL COOKING HINTS

1. When cook a roast with an excess amount of drippings,it is helpful to remove the drippinngs at turnover time to prevent spattering.

2. Prick the meats, fish or poultry with a fork to prevent bursting. Steam builds up pressure in meats,fish or poultry which are tightly covered by a skin or membrane.

3. Reduce suggested cooking times,It is always better to undercook foods rather than to oven-cook them. If a range of times is stated in a recipe, cook the minimun suggested time, check for doneness, and then cook slightly longer if necessary.

17 18

GENERAL GUIDELINES

Since microwave cooking to some extent is different from traditional cooking, the following general guidelines should be considered whenever you use your microwave oven:

If the food is undercooked

Check if:

• You have selected the correct power level.

• the selected time is sufficient-the times given in the recipes are approximate. They depend on initial temperature, weight and density of the food etc.

• the container is appropriate.

If the food is overcooked,i.e. dried out or burnt

Before you cook again, consider whether:

• the power level was too high.

• the set time was too long-the times in the recipes are approximate. They depend on initial temperature, weight and density of the food etc.

Points to remember when defrosting

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

• Separate pieces as they begin to defrost; free-flow slices defost; free-flow slices defrost more easily.

• Shield areas of food with small pieces of foil if they start to become warm.

• When defrosting, it is better to under thaw the food slightly and allow the process to finish during the standing time.

The amount of food

The more food you want to prepare the longer it takes. A rule of turmb is that double amount of food requires almost double the time. If one potato takes four minutes to cook, approximately seven minutes are required to cook two potatoes.

Starting temperature of food

The lower the temperature of the food which is being put into the microwave oven, the longer time it takes. Food at room temperature will be reheated more quickly than food at refrigerator temperature.

Composition of the food

Food with a lot of fat and sugar will be heated faster than food containing a lot of water. fat and sugar will also reach a higher temperature than water in the cooking process. The more dense the food, the longer it takes to heat. “Very dense" food like meat takes longer time to reheat than lighter, more porous food like sponge cakes.

Size and shape

Smaller pieces of food will cook more quickly than larger pieces and uniform pieces of food cook more evenly than irregularly shaped foods. With unevenly shaped food, the thinner parts will cook faster than the thicker areas. Place the thinner chicken wings and legs to the centre of the dish.

Stirring, turning of foods

Stirring and turning of foods are techniques used in conventional and well as in microwave cooking to distribute the heat quickly to the centre of the dish and avoids overcooking at the outer edges of the food.

Covering food helps:

• To reduce spattering

• To shorten cooking times

• To retain food moisture

All covering, which will allow microwaves to pass through are suitable-See above “Which utensils can be used in the oven”

Releasing pressure in foods

Several foods are tightly covered by a skin or membrane. These foods should be picked with a fork or cocktail stick to relieve the pressure and to prevent bursting, as steam builds up within them during cooking. This applies to jacket potatoes, potatoes, chicken livers, sausages, egg yolks and some fruits.

Standing time

Always allow the food to stand for some time after using the oven. standing time after defrosting, cooking/reheating always improves the result since the temperature will then be evenly distributed through out the food. In a microwave oven foods continue to cook even when the microwave energy is turned off. They are no longer cooking by microwaves, but they are still being cooked by the conduction of the high residual heat to the centre of the food. The length of standing time depends on the volume and density of the food. Sometimes if can be as short as the time it takes you to remove the food from the oven and take it to the serving table. However, with larger, denser foods, the standiing time may be as long as 10minutes. Upon ‘standing’, the internal temperature of the food will rise by as much as 8˚C and the food will finish cooking during this time.

Arranging food

This is done in several ways in microwave cooking to give more even cooking results. If you are cooking several items of the same food such as jacket potatoes, place them in a ring pattern for uniform cooking. When cooking foods of uneven shapes or thickness, place the smaller or thinner area of the food towards the centre of the dish where it will be heated last.

Uneven foods such as fish should be arranged in the oven with the tails to the centre. If you are saving a meal in the refrigerator or ‘plating’ a meal for reheating, arrange the thicker, denser foods to the outside of the plate and the thinner or less dense foods in the middle. Place thin slices of meat on top of each other or interlace them. Thicker slices such as meat loaf and sausages have to be placed close to each other. Gravy or sauce should be reheated in a separate container.

Choose a tall, narrow container rather than a low and wide container. When reheating gravy, sauce or soup, do not fill the container more than 2/3.

When you cook or reheat whole fish, score the skin this prevents cracking. Shield the tail and head with small pieces of foil to prevent over-cooking but ensure the foil does not touch the sides of the oven.

2/3

COOKING UTENSILS

Microwave energy is produced by high frquency 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.

1. Dishes with metal trim of any type - should not be used. This will cause sparking.

2. Glass or ceramic heat proof dishes - excellent for microwave cooking.

3. China dishes and plates - without metal trim may by used to cook and heat individual portions of food.

4. Wood or straw - use only for short period, wood contains some moisture and the microwave energy may cause the wood to dry out and crack.

5. Aluminum foil - may be used in very small pieces for shielding only. Any aluminum foil used should never be closer than 2.5cm from side walls of oven.

6. Plastic - most heat resistant plastinc dinnerware may be used for heating food. However plyethylene, melamine, phenol are unsuitable for use in the oven. They become hot in the microwave.

7. Wax paper - use as a cover to avoid spatters.

8. Metal - In general, metal utensils should not be used in microwave oven.

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 wipe 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 damaged to the door. Do not operate the oven if it is damaged, until it has been repaired by a trined service technician.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

Q: I accidentally ran my microwave oven without

any food in it. Is it damaged?

A:We do not recommend to operating the

microwave oven without any food. However, running the oven empty for a SHORT time will not damage the oven.

Q: Can I open the door when the oven is

operating?

A: The door can be opened anytime during the oven

operation. Microwave energy will be instantly switched off and the time setting will maintain until the door is closed.

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: My microwave oven causes interference with

my TV. Is this normal?

A:Some radio and TV interference might occur when

you cook with the microwave oven. This interference is similar to the interference caused by small appliances such as mixers, vacuums, blow dryers, etc. It does not indicate a problem with your oven.

Q: How can we know whether the oven is

operating or not?

A: Oven is operating only when the door is closed.

The operation of fan motor is same as the oven's operating cycle.

Q: The oven only operates when the door is

closed.

A: The operation of the fan motor is at the same

time as the oven is operating.

Q: Why does my oven light dim?

A: When cooking with DEF. power, the oven must

cycle to obtain the selected power levels. The oven light dims and clicking noises can be heard when the oven cycles.

Q: When is the oven light on and off?

A: The oven light is on during the cooking time.

Q: Why does steam accumulate on the oven

door?

A: The heat given off from the cooking food warms

the air in the oven cavity. This warmed air is carried out of the oven by the air flow pattern in the oven. There are no microwave in the air. The oven vents should never be blocked during cooking.

Q: Why does the smoke come out of the exhaust

vent at the back of oven?

A: It is normal for smoke to come out of the vents

during cooking. Smoke may be produced when food is overcooked.

Caution:

1. Do not attempt to operate the oven while empty as this will cause damage.

2. As an exhaust is located in the rear of the oven, install the oven so as not to block the outlet.

Note:

It is quite normal for steam to be emitted around the door during the cooking cycle. The door is not intended to seal the oven cavity completely but its special design contributes to the completion of the appliance.
