OPERAITON THEORY OF MICROWAVE OVEN

1. Microwave is a kind of high frequency electromagnetic wave, which is commonly distributed in the nature. But the existing form of microwave is dispersed so that it cannot be collected together for heating purpose. The key component of magnetron of microwave oven will transform the energy of electricity to microwave and huge energy of microwave field is established under the closed cavity. So the molecule of food is caused to vibrate at very high speed and the friction heat produced will cook the food in a fast way.

2. There are 3 properties of microwave: a) Absorbability: the microwave can cause the excess vibration of molecule of various food so as to obtain the heating purpose. But the infiltration ability is largely depend on the size, thickness and properties of the food. b) Penetrability: microwave can penetrate through ceramics, glass, temperature-resistant plastics. It is required to use the containers whose material have good microwave penetrability to achieve best heating result. See the below utensils guide. c) Reflectivity: microwave would be reflected by the metal wall of interior cavity so as to establish an even magnetic field, thus can prevent the overheating of partial area.

INSTALLATION OF MICROWAVE OVEN

1) To ensure sufficient ventilation, the distance of the back of microwave to the wall should be at least 10 cm,

the side to the wall should be at least 5cm, the free distance above the top surface at least 20 cm.

2) The appliance should be operated with the rear side placed against a wall.

3) Do not place any objects on the top of microwave oven.

4) The position of the oven shall be such that it is far from the TV, Radio or antenna as picture disturbance

or noise may occur.

5) The appliance must be positioned so that the plug

is accessible.

6) The microwave oven is intended to be used freestanding and shall not be placed in a cabinet.

7) To keep the microwave oven at a distance from the

UTENSILS GUIDELINE

It is strongly recommended to use the containers which are suitable and safe for microwave cooking. Generally speaking, the containers which are made of heat-resistant ceramic, glass or plastic are suitable

for microwave cooking. Never use the metal containers for microwave cooking and combination cooking

as spark is likely to occur. You can take the reference of below table. Material of containe setoNibmoC llirG evaworciM Heat-resistant ceram Yes No No Never use the ceramics which are decorated with

metal rim or glazed

Heat-resistant glass oN oN seY

seY seY oN kcar llirG

Plastic film Yes No No It should not be used when cooking meat or chops

as the overtemperature may do damage to the film

FOR THE FIRST USE

As there is manufacturing residue or oil remained on the oven cavity or heat element, it usually would

smell the odor, even a slight smoke, It is normal case and would not occur after several times use, keep

the door or window open to ensure good ventilation. So it is strongly recommended to operate as follows:

For the oven incorporate grill function (for20UG08V only), set the oven to grill mode and operate dry

several times. Operating dry can only be conducted in the grill mode, it can not be conducted at

combination mode.

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

The following basic precautions should always be followed when using electrical appliance:

1. Read all instructions before using.

2. Make sure the voltage in your living area corresponding to the one shown on the rating label of the

appliance. And the wall socket is properly grounded.

3. To reduce the risk of fire in the oven cavity:

a. Do not overcook the food.

b. Remove wire twist-ties from paper or plastic bags before placing bags in the oven.

c. Do not heat oil or fat for deep drying as the temperature of oil cannot be controlled.

d. After use wipe the waveguide cover with a damp cloth, followed by dry cloth to remove any food

splashes and grease. Built-up grease may overheat and begin to cause smoke or catch fire.

e. If m

aterials inside the oven should smoke or ignite, keep oven door closed, turn oven off and disconnect the power supply. f. Close supervision is necessary when using disposable containers made from plastic, paper or other combustible material.

4. To reduce the risk of explosion and sudden boiling: a. Do not place sealed containers in the oven. Baby bottles fitted with a screw cap or teat are considered to be sealed containers. b. When boiling liquid in the oven, use the wide-mouthed container and stand about 20 seconds at the end of cooking to avoid delayed eruptive boiling of liquids.

c. Potatoes, sausage and chestnut should be peeled or pierced before cooking. Eggs in their shell, whole

hard-boiled eggs should not be heated in microwave ovens since they may explode,even after microwave

heating has ended. d. The cooked liquid should not be removed out immediately. Several moments should be waited before removing In order to avoid possible hazards caused by delayed eruptive boiling of liquids. e. 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.

Heat-resistant plastic

In this mode, hot air is circulated throughout the oven cavity to brown and crisp foods quickly and evenly. C1---Combination of convection and microwave cooking. The combination of these two cooking methods produces juicy meats, as well as tender poultry, with the right browning and crispness. Meats and poultry are best when cooked directly on the rack. A shallow dish can be placed below the food if gravy is to drop. C2---Same as above C1, except more microwave cooking time. Which is suitable for cooking large size poultry utilizing the penetration ability of microwave.

Temperature setting Select operating temperature by different task, Temperature includes 100℃, 140℃, 160℃，180℃ and 200 ℃. For defrosting, set at 100℃ or 140℃. For baking, set the oven at 140℃ or 160℃. For grill poultry, set at 180-200℃. `In combination mode, the cooking temperature you set can't exceed 180℃ as the oven cannot be heated to the temperature higher than 180℃.

Preheating

1.In the convection mode, preheating is usually required so as to obtain best result. But preheating is not recommended to use in combination mode.

2.The preheating temperature must be always higher than oven temperature. For instance, the oven has been operated at 200℃, then you would like the oven to be operated at 180℃, in this case LED displays . You must reset the temperature or wait the oven to cool down. Notes:

1.The oven should not be used without the turntable in place, and the turntable should never be restricted otherwise it cannot rotate. You may remove the turntable when preheating the oven.
