The oven cannot be operated with the door open due to the safety
interlocks built in the door mechanism which switch off cooking functions
when the door is opened. Operating the oven with the door open could
result in harmful exposure to microwave energy. It is important not to
tamper with the door mechanism.
Do not place any object between the oven front face and the door or allow
soil or cleaner residue to accumulate on sealing surfaces.
Do not operate the oven if it is damaged. It is particularly important that
the oven door closes 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.
The oven should not be adjusted or repaired by anyone except qualified
personnel.
WARNING
When heating liquids, e.g. soups, sauces and beverages in your microwave
oven, delayed eruptive boiling can occur without evidence of bubbling. This
could result in a sudden boil over of the hot liquid. To prevent this
possibility the following steps should be taken.
Avoid using straight-sided containers with narrow necks.
Do not overheat.
Stir the liquid before placing the container in the oven and again halfway th
rough the heating time.
After heating, allow to stand in the oven for a short time. Stir or shake the
contents (especially feeding bottles and baby foods) and carefully check
the temperature before use.
If the door or door seals are damaged, the oven must not be operated until it has
been repaired by a competent person.
It is hazardous for anyone other than a competent person to carry out any service
or repair that involves the removal of a cover which gives protection against
exposure to microwave energy.
3
Liquids or other foods must not be heated in a sealed container since they are
liable to explode.
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.

1. The ideal material for a microwave utensil is transparent to microwave, it
Allows energy to pass through the container and heat the food.
2. Microwave cannot penetrate metal, so metal utensils and utensils with
metallic trim should not be used in the microwave oven.
3. Paper napkins, towels, plates, cups, cartons and cardboard can be used in
the microwave oven. Do not use recycled paper products since they may
contain impurities which may cause sparks and / or fires when used in
cooking. (consult a microwave cookbook for correct use of these products.)
4. Plastic dishes, cups, freezer bags, and plastic wraps may be used in the
microwave oven. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions or the information
given in the microwave cookbook when using plastics in the microwave
oven.
5. If the use of aluminium foil, skewers, or utensils containing metal in the
oven is specified in the recipe; allow at least 2.5cm clearance between the
metal object and the interior oven wall. If arcing (sparks) occurs, remove
immediately.

z Care should be taken when removing utensils or the glass turntable, as they
may become hot during cooking.
z Only use a thermometer that is designed for use in the microwave oven.
z Ensure the turntable is in place when you operate the oven.
OOTTHHEERR HHEELLPPFFUULL IINNSSTTRRUUCCTTIIOONNSS
For best results and more enjoyable cooking, please read these comments
thoroughly.
For Best Results:
1. When determining the time for a particular food, begin by using minimum time
and checking condition occasionally. It is easy to overcook food because microwaves cook very quickly.
2. Small quantities of food or foods with low water content may dry out and become hard if cooked too long.
Defrosting Frozen Food:
1. Foods that have been frozen can be place directly in the oven for thawing. (Be
certain to remove any metallic ties or wraps).
2. Defrost according to the Defrosting Tips found in this manual.
3. For areas of the food thawing faster than others, cover with small pieces of
aluminum foil. This helps slow down or stop the defrosting process.
7
4. Some foods should not be completely thawed before cooking. For example, fish
cooks so quickly that it is sometimes better to begin cooking while still slightly
frozen.
5. It may be necessary to increase or decrease the cooking time in some recipes,
depending on the starting temperature of the food.
NOTE:
Air from the vent may become warm during cooking.
Browning:
There are a few foods which are not cooked long enough in the microwave oven
to brown and may need additional colour.
Coatings such as paprika and browning agents such as Worcestershire sauce
may be used on chops, meat patties or chicken pieces.
Roasts, poultry or ham, cooked for 10-15 minutes or longer, will brown
without extra additives.

QQUUEESSTTIIOONNSS AANNDD AANNSSWWEERRSS
Q. What is wrong when the oven light will not glow?
A. *Light bulb has blown.
* Door not closed.
Q. Why is steam coming out of the air exhaust vent and / or why is water dripping
from the bottom of the door?
A. Steam is normally produced during cooking operations. This microwave oven
has been made to vent this steam out of the side and top vents, occasionally
this steam condenses on the door and water then drips out at the bottom of
the door. This is quite normal and safe.
Q. Does microwave energy pass through the viewing screen in the door?
A. No. The metal screen reflects the energy to the oven cavity, the holes, or ports
are made to allow light to pass, they do not let microwave energy through.
Q. Will the microwave oven be damaged if it operates while empty?
A. Yes. Never run it empty.
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 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. Why does my oven not always cook fast as the microwave cooking guide
says?
A. Check your cooking guide again, to make sure you've followed directions
18
exactly and to see what might cause variations in cooking times. 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. Why do sparks and crackling (arcing) occur in the oven?
A. There may be several reasons why sparks and crackling (arcing) within the
cavity happens.
* You have left a fork or other metal utensils in the oven.
* You are using dishes with metal parts or trim (silver or gold).
* You are using a large amount of metal foil.
* You are using a metal twist tie.

Refer to the following short checklist. You may find that the problem you are
experiencing has nothing to do with the microwave oven itself. A couple of quick
checks may save you an unnecessary service call.
Problem
The oven doesn't work at all.
Check the following
The mains plug is securely plugged into the power socket.
The door is firmly closed.
The cooking time is set on the timer selector control.
The fuse in the mains plug has not blown.
The mains circuit breaker in the home has not tripped.
Problem
"Arcing" or sparking in the oven interior.
Check the following
Any dishes, trays etc which are made of metal or have metal trims must not be
used in the microwave oven.
Metal skewers should be covered with food and make sure they don't touch the
sides of the oven interior when rotating. If "arcing" occurs again, remove skewers
until food is cooked.
Remove any other metal cookware for the oven.
