How the Microwave Function Works
Microwaves are a form of energy similar to radio,
television waves, and ordinary daylight. Normally,
microwaves spread outwards as they travel through the
atmosphere and disappear without effect.
This oven, however, has a magnetron that is designed to
make use of the energy in microwaves. Electricity,
supplied to the magnetron tube, is used to create
microwave energy.
These microwaves enter the cooking area through
openings inside the oven. A tray is located inside the
oven. Microwaves cannot pass through metal walls of the
oven, but they can penetrate such materials as glass,
por celain and p aper, the m aterials out of w hich
microwave-safe cooking dishes are constructed.
Microwaves do not heat cookware, though cooking
vessels will eventually get hot from the heat generated by
the food.
A very safe appliance
Your Microwave oven, is one of the safest of
all home appliances. When the door is opened,
the oven automatically stops producing
microwaves. Microwave energy is converted
completely to heat when it enters food, leaving
no “left over” energy to harm you when you
eat your food.

switches or any other part of the oven which would involve the removal of any cover protecting against exposure to
microwave energy. Do not operate the oven if the door seals and adjacent parts of the microwave oven are faulty. Repairs
should only be undertaken by a qualified service technician.
l Unlike other appliances, the microwave oven is a high-voltage and a high electrical-current piece of equipment. Improper use or
repair could result in harmful exposure to excessive microwave energy or in electric shock.
2. Do not use the oven for the purpose of dehumidification. (ex. Operating the microwave oven with wet
newspapers, clothes, toys, electric devices, pet or child etc.)

CAUTION
1. You cannot operate your oven with the door open due to the safety interlocks built into the door mechanism. It is
important not to tamper with the safety interlocks.
l It could result in harmful exposure to excessive microwave energy. (Safety interlocks automatically switch off any cooking
activity when the door is opened).
2. Do not place any object (such as kitchen towels, napkins, etc.) between the oven front face and the door or allow
food or cleaner residue to accumulate on sealing surfaces.
l It could result in harmful exposure to excessive microwave energy.
3. Please ensure cooking times are correctly set, small amounts of food require shorter cooking or heating time.
l Over cooking may result in the food catching on fire and subsequent damage to you r oven.
4. When heating liquids, e.g. soups, sauces and beverages in your microwave oven,
* Avoid using straight sided containers with narrow necks.
* Do not overheat.
* Stir the liquid before placing the container in the oven and again halfway through the heating time.
* After heating, let it stand in the oven for a short time; stir or shake it again carefully and check the
temperature of it before consuming to avoid burns (especially, contents of feeding bottles and baby food jars).
l Be careful when handling the container. Microwave heating of beverages can result in delayed eruptive boiling without
evidence of bubbling. This could result in hot liquids suddenly boiling over.
5. An exhaust outlet is located on the top, bottom or side of the oven. Don’t block the outlet.
l It could result in damage to your oven and poor cooking results.
6. 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.
l Improper use could result in damage to your oven.
7. Do not cook food wrapped in paper towels, unless your cook book contains instructions for the food you are
cooking. And do not use newspaper in place of paper towels for cooking.
l Improper use can cause an explosion or a fire.
8 Do not use wooden containers and ceramic containers that have metallic (e.g. gold or silver) inlays. Always remove
metal twist ties. Check that the utensils are suitable for use in microwave ovens before use.
l They may heat-up and char. Metal objects in particular may arc in the oven, which can cause serious damage.
9. Do not use recycled paper products.
l They may contain impurities which may cause sparks and/or fires when used in cooking.
10. Do not rinse the tray and rack by placing it in water just after cooking. This may cause breakage or damage.
l Improper use could result in damage to your oven.
11. Be certain to place the oven so the front of the door is 8 cm or more behind the edge of the surface on which it is
placed, to avoid accidental tipping of the appliance.
l Improper use could result in bodily injury and oven damage.
12. Before cooking, pierce the skin of potatoes, apples or any such fruit or vegetables.
l They could burst.
13. Do not cook eggs in their shell. Eggs in their shell and whole hardboiled eggs should not be heated in microwave
ovens since they may explode, even after microwave heating has ended.
l Pressure will build up inside the egg which will burst.
14. Do not attempt deep fat frying in your oven.
l This could result in a sudden boil over of the hot liquid.
15. 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.
l It can cause serious damage such as a fire or electric shock.
16. When food is heated or cooked in disposable containers made of plastic, paper or other combustible materials, keep
an eye on the oven and check it frequently.
l Your food may be poured due to the possibility of container deterioration, which also can cause a fire.
17. The temperature of accessible surfaces may be high when the appliance is operating. Do not touch the oven door,
outer cabinet, rear cabinet, oven cavity, accessories and dishes during grill mode, convection mode and auto cook
