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, porcelain and paper, the materials out of which 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.

BEFORE USE 9

NOTE

•THIS OVEN SHOULD NOT BE USED FOR COMMERCIAL CATERING PURPOSES. DO NOT USE THIS OVEN IN A BUILT IN APPLICATION.

3Plug your oven into a standard household socket. Make sure your oven is the only appliance connected to the socket.

If your oven does not operate properly, unplug it from the electrical socket and then plug it back in.

4Open your oven door by pulling the door handle. Place the rotating ring inside the oven and place the

glass tray on top.

5 File a microwave safe container with 300 ml (1/2 pint) of water.

Place on the glass tray and close the oven door.

If you have any doubts about what type of container to use please refer to Microwave-safe utensils.

6 Press the STOP/Cancel button, and press the START button one time to start 30 seconds of cooking time.

7 The DISPLAY will count down from 30 seconds.

When it reaches 0 it will chime briefly. Open the oven door and test the temperature of the water. If your oven is operating the water should be warm.

Be careful when removing the container as it may be hot.

YOUR OVEN IS NOW INSTALLED

8The contents of feeding bottles and baby food jars must be stirred or shaken and the temperature checked before consumption in order to avoid burns.

9 Button recognition may be hampered in the following circumstances:

• Only the outside area of the button is pressed.

• The button is pushed using a nail or the tip of the finger.

NOTE

Do not use rubber gloves or disposable gloves.

When wiping the touch control panel with a wet towel, remove moisture from the touch control panel when finished.

10The setting of the cooking time should be shorter than common microwave ovens (700 W, 800 W) due to the relatively high output power of the product. Excessive heating of food product may cause moisture on the door. This is not a malfunction.

11All of the recipes in this book give a range of cooking times. In general, you will find that the food remains under-cooked at the lower end of the time range, and you may sometimes want to cook your food beyond the maximum time given, according to personal preference. The governing philosophy of this book is that it is best for a recipe to be conservative in giving cooking times because overcooked food is undesirable.
