cleaner residue on the sealing surfaces.

Do not operate the oven if it is damaged. It is particularly important that the door will close properly and

there is no damage that affects: (1) the door (twists), (2) hinges and latches (broken or loosened), (3)

door seals and sealing surfaces .

The oven should not be adjusted or repaired by anyone other than qualified and suitable.

WARNING

Make sure you set the correct cooking time because overcooking can cause

FIRE and consequently damage the oven.

WARNING

When heating liquids, eg soups, sauces and beverages in your microwave oven, overheating the

liquid beyond boiling point can cause bubbles without being noticed from the outside. This could result

in a sudden boiling hot liquid.

To prevent this possibility the following steps:

1. Avoid using containers with necks straight narrow..

2. Do not overheat.

3. Stir the liquid before placing the dish in the oven and again halfway through cooking time.

4. After heating, let stand in oven for a short period of time, then stir or whisk thoroughly and check your

temperature before consumption to avoid burns (especially the contents of bottles and jars of baby

food).

INSTALLATION

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

his equipment must be properly grounded. In the case of an electrical short circuit, the fact of being connected

to ground reduces the risk of electrical shock by providing an escape wire for electrical energy.

This appliance has a cord with three prong plug (one of which is to ground). (see Figure 1) to minimize the

possibility that this apparatus produces an electric shock.

This plug must be plugged into an outlet that is proper

ly installed and grounded.

WARNING –

Improper use of the grounding plug can result in electric shock. Do not cut

or remove the third prong ground, under any circumstances.

You do well to consult a qualified electrician if these grounding instructions have not been sufficiently

understood or if doubt persists about how this unit can be connected to ground. If only there is a conventional

two pins outlet is consumer responsibility and have it replaced by one of three, properly grounded.

CAUTION: Plug the adapter ground terminal to the wall outlet does not produce the ground unless the

screw holding the lid of the container is metal, not isolated and the wall outlet is grounded through wiring

system the house or building.

a) In situations where the product power cord must be disconnected frequently, do not use a plug as

disconnecting the power cord cause undue pressure on the adapter ring and eventually leads to their

usefulness. If the user has a two-prong outlet, you must have it replaced by one of three, by a qualified

electrician.

b) If you must use an extension cord, use only one of three wires that plug has three blades or pins and

socket that accepts the plug of the appliance. The ability of the extension must be equal to or greater than

the electrical capacity of the apparatus.

NOTES:

1. A short cord is provided with this unit in order to reduce the risk of tangling with the same or tripping

over a longer cord.

2. Longer appropriate cords are available but must be used with due care.

3. If it were to use a longer cord (1), the electrical cord must be at least equal to the capacity of the apparatus.

(2) the extension cord should be the type that has three wires and grounding and (3) the resulting long cord

should be arranged so as not to fall sides of the table where the device can be pulled by children or tripped

over accidentally.

Make sure there is proper

grounding connection before using.

B. CIRCUITS

For security reasons, this oven must be connected to

a circuit above 15 amps for

120V, 60Hz or greater of10 amps for 220V, 60Hz. No

other electrical appliances or lighting circuits must be

connected in this circuit. If in doubt, consult a qualified

electrician.

C. VOLTAGE WARNING

The voltage of the outlet should be the same as

specified in the serial plate which is located at the rear

of the apparatus, or beside the oven control panel.

The use of higher voltages can be dangerous and

may result in a fire or other accident causing oven

damage.

Insufficient voltage, moreover, can result in slower

cooking. If your microwave oven is not operating

normally in order to be related to the power source

and AC voltage, disconnect the power cord and

reconnect it.

D. NOT OBSTRUCT

THE AIR VENTS

All vents should be kept clear during cooking. If the

vents are covered during operation of the oven, the

oven may overheat.

In this case, a sensitive thermal safety device

automatically shuts down the oven. The oven will be

inoperable until it has cooled sufficiently.

E. LOCATION OF THE OVEN

Your microwave oven can be located easily in your

kitchen, family room or anywhere in your home. Place

the oven on a flat surface, such as the kitchen counter

or a car specially designed for microwave ovens. Do

not place the oven on a gas or electric stove. The air

flow around the oven is important.

F. RADIO

INTERFERENCE

1. The operation of the microwave oven may cause

interference to radio, television or similar equipment.

2. When there is interference, it can be reduced or

eliminated by taking the following measures:

a. Clean door and sealing surfaces of the oven.

b. Reorient the antenna of your radio or TV.

c. Relocating the microwave oven with respect to the

receiver.

d. Move the microwave receiver.

e. Connect the microwave oven in another outlet, so

that the receiver and the oven are connected to two

different circuits.

INSTALLATION

How The Microwave Oven.

Microwaves are a form of energy similar to radio

waves, television and the light of ordinary day.

Typically, microwaves spread outwards as they

travel through the atmosphere and disappear

without effect. Microwave ovens, however, have

a magnetron which is designed to make use of

microwave energy, The electricity supplied to the

tube is used magneton microwave energy to create.

These microwaves entering the cooking area

through openings in the oven. A turntable is located

at the bottom of the furnace. The microwaves can

not pass through the metal walls of the oven, but

may penetrate.

Materials such as glass, ceramics and paper

materials of which the plates for cooking microwave

are built. Microwaves do not heat the pans, pots but

eventually warmed from the heat generated by food.

A very safe device: Your microwave oven is one of

the safest in the home appliances. When the door is

opened, the oven automatically stops the production

of microwaves. Microwave energy is completely

converted to heat when it comes to food, while

“waste” of energy that damage when cooking your

food.

Getting the Best Results of

Microwave Oven.

Maintain Security. The recipes in this book have

been made with great care, but its success in

preparing them depends, of course, how much

attention you put the food as it kitchen. Always look

at the food while cooking. Your oven is equipped with

a light that turns on automatically when the oven is

in operation, so you can see inside and review the

progress of your prescription. The instructions on

the recipes for “raise”, “beat”, and the like, should be

considered as the minimum recommended steps. If

the food being cooked unevenly seem simply make

adjustments as it deems appropriate to correct the

problem.

Factors that affect cooking times. To check the

voltage in your oven, refer to the specications at the

beginning of this book. Many factors affect cooking

times. The temperature of the ingredients used in a

recipe makes a big difference in cooking times.

For example, a frozen cake made with butter,

milk and eggs will take considerable time to bake

more than one made ingredients that are at room

temperature. All recipes in this book provide

ranges of cooking times. Generally, you nd that

undercooked food remains in the lower end of the

range of time and may sometimes want to cook your

food beyond the maximum time given, depending on

personal preference.

The philosophy of this book is that it is better to

be conservative with a recipe cooking times given.

While the food goes learn when they are raw, some

of the recipes, particularly those for breads, cakes

and custards, recommend removing food from the

oven when cooking has not been fully completed.

This is not an error.

When let stand, usually covered, these foods remain

outside the cooking oven, as the temperature

trapped in the portion outside of the food gradually

travels inside the food. If food is left in the oven until

cooked completely, external parties or even be burn.

As you gain experience using their microwave oven,

you will become skilled estimating cooking times and

rest for different foods.

How Characteristics Affect Food

Microwave Cooking.

Density of food: light and porous foods such as

cakes and breads cook more quickly than heavy,

dense foods such as roasts and casseroles. You

should be careful when cooking foods porous,

because the outer edges may become dry and

brittle. Height of food:

The upper portion of the high food, especially

roasts, are cook faster than the lower portion.

Therefore, it is advisable to turn the food high during

cooking, several times.

INSTALLATION

Moisture content of food: Since the heat

generated by microwaves tends to evaporate

moisture, relatively dry foods such as roasts and

some vegetables are sprayed with water prior to

cooking or whole cover to retain moisture.

Bone and fat content of foods: Bones conduct

heat and fat cooks faster than beef. Therefore,

be careful when cooking cuts of meat with bones

or high-fat to the meat to cook evenly and do not

overcook.

Quantity of food: The number of microwaves

in your oven remains constant regardless of the

amount of food you’re cooking. Therefore, a larger

amount of food in the microwave oven, the longer

the cooking time. Remember to reduce cooking

times at least one third when preparing 1/2 recipe.

Food shapes: The microwaves penetrate only anout

1 inch.(2.5 cm.) In foods, the inner portion of food is

cooked thick as the externally generated heat travels

inwards. In other words, only the outer edges of food

truly cooked by microwave energy, the rest is cooked

by convection. Therefore,the worst form of a food to

be cooked in a microwave is that square and thick.

The corners will burn long before the center is still

hot. Food is thin and rouned food form of rings are

cooked in the microwave successfully.

Special Techniques to

Microwave cooking.

Brown: Meat and poultry that is cooked 15 minutes

or longer will brown slightly in its own fat. Foods that

are cooked for shorter periods can be sprayed with a

browning sauce and get an appetizing color. Sauces

most often used to gild are Worcestershire, soy

sauce and barbecue sauce. Since they are added in

relatively small amounts to food, the original avor of

the recipe is not altered.

Cover:A cover keeps the heat and steam causing

food to cook faster. You can use a plastic lid or

microwave-safe with the edgs folded down to

prevent splashing.

Cover with greaseproof paper: this role effectively

prevents splashing and help food to retain some

heat. But because this paper GRHVnot cover as well

as a lid or microwave plastic wrap, allows food to dry

slightly.

Wrap in grease proof paper or towel: sandwiches

and other foods containing bread must be wrapped

before placing in the microwave to prevent drying.

Placement and space: Individual foods such as

baked potatoes, small cakes and snacks heat more

evenly if placed in the oven at the same distance

form each other and preferably in a circle. Never

place food on another.

Stir: Stir is one of the most important of

all the techniques for cooking in microwave ovens. In

conventional cooking, food is mixed with the purpose

of mixing. The microwaved foods, but are scrambled

to spread and redistribute heat. Always stir from the

outside of the food is heated rst.

Filp: Big and tall foods such as roasts and whole

chickens should be turned so that the top and

bottom are cooked evenly. It is also a good idea to

turn the chicken and chops.

Place thicker portions out: Since microwaves are

attacted to the outer portions of food, it makes sense

to place the tickest portion of meat, poultry and/or

sh on the outer edge of the plate. Thus, the ticker

pDUWV receive more energy food will cooNevenly.

Warp: Aluminum foil, which block microwaves,

are sometimes placed in the corners or edges Of

food with rectangular or square shape to prevent

overcooking of these portions. Never used a lot of

aluminum foil and make sure it is securely fastened

to the plate where foods are placed as it may cause

arcing in the oven.

Elevation: The very thick or dense foods are usually

placed high, so that microwaves can be absorbed

by the bottom and the center thereof.

Drill: The food enclosed in a shell, skin or

membrance can bursh in the oven unless pinched

before cooking. These foods include both yolk

and white of eggs, oysters and clams, and many

vegetables and whole fruits.
