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.

*This electric appliance must be installed according to the instructions in order to avoid a damage.This oven should be disconnected from the power supply before installation or maintenance.
*This oven should always be earthed.
Improper use may cause serious damage of safety such as a fire, an electric shock.
2. 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.
It could result in harmful exposure to excessive microwave energy. (Safety interlocks automatically switch off any cooking activity when the door is opened.)
3. 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.
It could result in harmful exposure to excessive microwave energy.
4.Do not operate your 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.
It could result in harmful exposure to excessive microwave energy.
5.Please ensure cooking times are correctly set, Small amounts of food require shorter cooking or heating time.
Over cooking may result in the food catching on fire and subsequent damage to your oven.
6.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).
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.
7.An exhaust outlet is located on the top, bottom or side of the oven. Don’t block the outlet.
It could result in damage to your oven and poor cooking results.
8.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.
Improper use could result in damage to your oven.

Auto
Defrost
The temperature and density of food varies, I would recommend that the food is checked before cooking commences. Pay particular attention to large joints of meat and chicken, some foods should not be completely thawed before cooking. The BREAD programme is suitable for defrosting small items such as rolls or a small loaf. These will require a standing time to allow the centre to thaw. In the following example I will show you how to defrost 1.4 Kg of Frozen Poultry.
Your oven has four microwave defrost settings: - Meat, Poultry, Fish and Bread; each defrost category has different power settings. Repeated presses of the AUTO DEFROST button will select a different setting.

Auto weight defrost guide
*Food to be defrosted should be in a suitable microwave proof container and place uncovered on the glass turntable.
*If necessary, shield small areas of meat or poultry with flat pieces of aluminum foil. This will prevent thin areas becoming warm during defrosting.
Ensure the foil does not touch the oven walls.
*Separate items like minced meat, chops, sausages and bacon as soon as possible.
W hen BEEP, at this piont remove the food fromthe microwave oven,turn the food over and return to the microwave oven. Press start to continue. At the end of the program, remove the food from the microwave oven, cover with foil and allow to stand until completely thawed.
To thaw completely, for example joints of meat and whole chickens should STAND for a minimum of 1 hour before cooking.

To heat or reheat successfully in the microwave, it is important to follow several guidelines. Measure the amount of food in order to determine the time needed to reheat. Arrange the food in a circular pattern for best results.
Room temperature food will heat faster than refrigerated food. Canned foods should be taken out of the can and placed in a microwavable container. The food will be heated more evenly if covered with a microwavable lid or vented plastic wrap. Remove cover carefully to prevent steam burns. Use the following chart as a guide for reheating cooked food.

WARNING
Please ensure cooking times are correctly set as over cooking may result in FIRE and subsequent DAMAGE to the OVEN.
Important safety instructions
Read carefully and keep for future reference
1Do 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. Repairs should only be undertaken by a qualified service technician.
2Do 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.
3Do not dry clothes in the microwave oven, which may become carbonized or burned if heated too long.
4Do not cook food wrapped in paper towels, unless your cook book contains instructions, for the food you are cooking.
5Do not use newspaper in place of paper towels for cooking.
6Do not use wooden containers. They may heat-up and char. Do not use ceramic containers which have metallic (e.g. gold or silver) inlays. Always remove metal twist ties. Metal objects in the oven may arc, which can cause serious damage.
7Do not operate the oven with a kitchen towel, a napkin or any other obstruction between the door and the front edges of the oven, which may cause microwave energy leakage.
8Do not use recycled paper products since they may contain impurities which may cause sparks and/or fires when used in cooking.
9Do not rinse the turntable by placing it in water just after cooking. This may cause breakage or damage.
10Small amounts of food require shorter cooking or heating time. If normal times are allowed they may overheat and burn.
11Be 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.
12Before cooking, pierce the skin of potatoes, apples or any such fruit or vegetable.
13Do not cook eggs in their shell. Pressure will build up inside the egg which will burst.
14Do not attempt deep fat frying in your oven.
15Remove 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.
16If the oven door or door seals are damaged, the oven must not be operated until it has been repaired by a qualified service technician.
17If 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.
18When food is heated or cooked in disposable containers of plastic, paper or other combustible materials, check the oven frequently due to the possibility of the food container is deteriorating.
19Only 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.
20Liquids or other foods must not be heated in sealed containers since they are liable to explode.
21Do not operate the oven, if the door seals and adjacent parts of the microwave oven are faulty, until the oven has been repaired by a qualified service technician.
22Check the utensils are suitable for use in microwave ovens before use.
23Do not touch the oven door, outer cabinet, rear cabinet, oven cavity, accessories and dishes during grill mode, convection mode and auto cook operations, unless wearing thick oven gloves, as they will become hot. Before clearing make sure they are not hot.
