IMPORTANT SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS

READ CAREFULLY AND KEEP
FOR FUTURE REFERENCE

CARE OF YOUR
MICROWAVE OVEN

1. Turn the oven off before cleaning.

2. 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.

3. 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.

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

5. 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.

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

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, check the oven frequently due to
the possibility of ignition.

13. The contents of feeding bottles and baby food

jars are to be stirred or shaken and the
temperature is to be 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

shall 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 has to
be taken when handling the container.

COOKING GUIDE

COOKING UTENSILS

Only use utensils that are suitable for use in
microwave ovens.

UTENSIL 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.

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, paper plates napkins and cups

- Use for short term heating and covering; they
absorb excess moisture and prevent spattering.
Always attend the oven closely. Only use to
absorb fat and 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
impurities 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
metallic trim.
Plastic - Use only if labeled “Microwave Safe”.
Other plastics can melt.
Straw, wicker, and wood - Use only for short­term heating, as they can be flammable.

Thin plastic, paper, straw and wooden
containers - Always attend the oven closely.

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
