PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE

EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE

MICROWAVE ENERGY

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 service 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:

1.Avoid using straight-sided containers with narrow necks.

2.Do not overheat.

3.Stir the liquid before placing the container in the oven and again halfway through the heating time.

4.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.

Installation

1.Remove all packing materials and accessories.

2.Place the oven on a level surface a minimum of 85cm above the floor with at least 30cm above and 10cm rear space to allow adequate ventilation. The side of the oven should be kept clear so there is air flow for ventilation. The front of the oven should be at least 8cm from the edge of the surface to prevent tipping.

An exhaust outlet is located on top or side of the oven. Blocking the outlet can damage the oven.

3.Plug your oven into a standard voltage household outlet. Ensure that the electrical circuit is at least 10amps (16 amps for models MH6339H/MH6339HS/MH6339HB/MH6339B/MH6339BS/MH6339BB ) and that the oven is the only applian e on the circuit.

NOTE: • This appliance should not be used for commercial catering purposes.

WARNING: THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED

The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:

Blue	-	Neutral
Brown	-	Live
Green and Yellow	-	Earth

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

Important safety instructions

Read carefully and keep for future reference

•Do not operate the oven when empty. It is best to leave a glass of water in the oven when not in use. The water will safely absorb all microwave energy if the oven is accidentally started.

•Do not dry clothes in the microwave oven. They may become carbonized or burned if heated too long.

•Do not cook food wrapped in paper towels, unless your cook book contains instructions for the food you are cooking.

•Do not use the oven for drying kitchen towels or paper products. They may burn.

•Do not use wooden containers. They may heat up and char.

•Do not use recycled paper products since they may contain impurities which may cause sparks and/or fires when used in cooking.

•Allow the turntable to cool before cleaning.

•Small amounts of food require shorter cooking or heating time. If normal times are allowed they may overheat and burn.

•Before cooking, pierce the skin of fruit and vegetables.

•Do not cook eggs in their shell. Pressure will build up inside the egg which will burst.

•Do not attempt deep fat frying in your oven.

•Remove the plastic wrapping from food before cooking or defrosting. Note though that in some cases food should be covered with plastic film, for heating or cooking, as detailed in microwave cook books.

•If smoke is observed, switch off or disconnect the oven from the power supply and keep the oven door closed in order to stifle any flames.

•When food is heated or cooked in disposable containers of plastic, paper or other combustible materials, check the oven frequently due to the possibility of ignition.

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

- 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.

- WARNING : If the oven door and door seal are damaged, the oven must not be operated until it has been repaired by a qualified service technician.

- WARNING : Do not attempt to tamper with, or make any adjustments or repairs to the door, control panel, safety interlock switches or any other part of the oven. It is hazardous for anyone to carry out any service or repair operation which involves the removal of any cover which gives protection against exposure to microwave energy. Repair should only be undertaken by a qualified service technician.

Cooking Utensils

COOKING UTENSILS

Utensils should be checked to ensure that they are suitable for use in the microwave oven. The following chart summarises the proper use of cooking utensils in your oven:

Cooking utensils	Microwave	Grill
Heat resistant glass, glass ceramic	yes	yes
Ceramic, china	yes	yes
	(Do not use china with
	gold or silver trim.)
Metal cookware	no	yes
Non-heat resistant glass	no	no
Microwave plastic	yes	no
Plastic wrap	yes	no
Paper (cup, plates, towels)	yes	no
Straw, wicker and wood	no	no

Microwave

1.Most glass, glass ceramic, and heat resistant glassware utensils are excellent. Those with metal trim should not be used in a microwave oven.

2.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 your cookbook for correct use of these products.)

3.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 cookbook when using plastics in the microwave oven.

4.Metal utensils and utensils with metallic trim should not be used in the microwave oven. For more information on the proper use of metal in your oven, please read the introduction section in the cookbook. If the use of aluminum 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.

Note:

Consult your cookbook, individual recipes, and charts for correct use of cooking containers, products, and other useful information.

Grill

1.Heat resistant glassware, ceramic and metal cookware can be used.

2.Paper napkins, towels, and plastics should not be used.

Notes:

•Care should be taken when removing utensils or the glass turntable, as they may become hot during cooking.

•Only use a thermometer that is designed or recommended for use in the microwave oven.

•Ensure the turntable is in place when you operate the oven.

Other Helpful Instructions

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 Foods:

1.Foods that have been frozen can be placed 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 aluminium foil. This helps slow down or stop the defrosting process.

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 foods.

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.

Cleaning and Care

BE SURE THE OVEN IS TURNED OFF BEFORE CLEANING.

Keep the oven interior surfaces clean and dry. As a general rule clean after each use.

INTERIOR WALLS

Remove any crumbs and food remains between the door and oven using a damp cloth. This area has to be particularly well cleaned to ensure the door will close properly. Remove any grease splashes with a soapy cloth then rinse and dry. Do not use abrasives which may scratch and damage the painted surface of the oven.

NEVER POUR WATER INTO THE OVEN

ROLLER REST

The roller rest should be removed and cleaned in hot soapy water at least once a week to prevent grease restricting the rotation of the wheels.

DOOR

The door and door seals should be kept clean at all times. Use only warm, soapy water to rinse then dry thoroughly.

DO NOT USE ABRASIVE MATERIALS, SUCH AS CLEANING POWDERS OR STEEL AND PLASTIC PADS.

Metal parts will be easier to maintain if wiped frequently with a damp cloth.

EXTERIOR

Clean with mild soap and warm water, rinse and dry with a soft cloth. Do not use abrasive materials. Do not spill water in the vents. If the power lead becomes soiled wipe it with a damp cloth.
