Precautions to be taken when using Microwave Ovens for Heating Foodstuffs

Inspection for Damage:

A microwave oven should only be used if an inspection confirms all of the following conditions:

1.The door fits squarely and securely and opens and closes smoothly.

2.The door hinges are in good condition.

3.The metal plates of a metal seal on the door are neither buckled nor deformed.

4.The door seals are neither covered with food nor have large burn marks.

Precautions:

Microwave radiation from microwave ovens can cause harmful effects if the following precautions are not taken:

1.Never tamper with or deactive the interlocking devices on the door.

2.Never poke an object, particularly a metal object, through a grille or between the door and the oven while the oven is operating.

3.Never place saucepans, unopened cans or other heavy metal objects in the oven.

4.Do not let other metallic articles, e.g. fast food foil containers, touch the side of the oven.

5.Clean the oven cavity, the door and the seals with water and a mild detergent at regular intervals. Never use any form of abrasive cleaner that may scratch or scour surfaces around the door.

6.Always use the oven with the trays or cookware recommended by the manufacturer.

7.Never operate the oven without a load (i.e. an absorbing material such as food or water) in the oven cavity unless specifically allowed in the manufacturer's literature.

8.For horizontally hinged doors, never rest heavy objects such as food containers on the door while it is open.

9.Do not place sealed containers in the microwave oven. Baby bottles fitted with a screw cap or a teat are considered to be sealed containers.

10.The appliance is not intended for use by young children or infirm persons without supervision.

11.Young children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

Earthing Instructions

This microwave oven must be earthed. In the event of an electrical short circuit, earthing reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current.

This microwave oven is equipped with an earthing plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and earthed.

WARNING—Improper use of the earthing plug can result in electric shock.

Important Instructions

WARNING—To reduce the risk of burns, electric shock, fire, injury to persons or excessive microwave energy:

1.Read all instructions before using microwave oven.

2.Some products such as whole eggs and sealed containers - (for example, closed glass jars and sealed baby bottles with teat) may explode and should not be heated in microwave oven. Refer to cookbook for more detail.

3.Use this microwave oven only for its intended use as described in this manual.

4.As with any appliance, close supervision is necessary when used by children.

5.Do not operate this microwave oven, if it is not working properly, or if it has been damaged or dropped.

6.To reduce the risk of fire in the oven cavity:

(a)Do not overcook food. Carefully attend microwave oven if paper, plastic, or other combustible materials are placed inside the oven to facilitate cooking.

(b)Remove wire twist-ties from bags before placing bag in oven.

(c)If materials inside the oven should ignite, keep oven door closed, turn oven off at the wall switch, or shut off power at the fuse or circuit breaker panel.

7.Do not remove outer panel from oven.

Circuits

Your microwave ovens should be operated on a separate circuit from other appliances. The voltage used must be the same as specified on this microwave oven. Failure to do this may cause the power board fuse to blow. Do not insert higher value fuse in the power board.

Warning

(a)The door seals and door seal areas should be cleaned with a damp cloth. The appliance should be inspected for damage to the door seals and door seal areas and if these areas are damaged the appliance should not be operated until it has been repaired by a service technician trained by the manufacturer.

(b)It is dangerous for anyone other than a service technician trained by the manufacturer to perform repair service.

(c)If the supply cord of this appliance is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its service agent or a similarly qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.

(d)Before use, the user should check that whether the utensils are suitable for use in microwave ovens.

(e)Liquids or other foods must not be heated in sealed containers since they are liable to explode, at the same time it should avoid the boiling liquids splash.

(f)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.

Installation and General Instructions

General Use

1.In order to maintain high quality, do not operate the oven when empty. The microwave energy will reflect continuously throughout the oven if no food or water is present to absorb energy.

2.If smoke is observed, press the STOP/RESET Pad or return "TIMER/WEIGHT SELECT DIAL" back to zero, and leave door closed. Disconnect the power cord, or shut off power at the fuse or circuit breaker panel.

3.Do not dry clothes, newspapers or other materials in oven. They may catch on fire.

4.Do not use recycled paper products, as they may contain impurities which may cause sparks and/or fires when used.

5.Do not use newspapers or paper bags for cooking.

6.Do not hit or strike control panel. Damage to controls may occur.

7.POT HOLDERS may be needed as heat from food is transferred to the cooking container and from the container to the glass tray. The glass tray can be very hot after removing the cooking container from the oven.

8.Do not store flammable materials next to, on top of, or in the oven. It could be a fire hazard.

9.Do not cook food directly on glass tray unless indicated in recipes. (Food should be placed in a suitable cooking utensil.)

10.DO NOT use this oven to heat chemicals or other nonfood products. DO NOT clean this oven with any product that is labeled as containing corrosive chemicals. The heating of corrosive chemicals in this oven may cause microwave radiation leaks.

11.If glass tray is hot, allow to cool before cleaning or placing in water.

Placement of Oven

1.The oven must be placed on a flat, stable surface. For correct operation, the oven must have sufficient air flow. Allow 15 cm of space on the top of the oven, 10 cm at back and 5 cm on both sides. If one side of the oven is placed flush to a wall, the other side or top must not be blocked. Do not remove feet.

15cm

5cm

10cm

OPEN

Counter-top

(a)Do not block air vents. If they are blocked during operation, the oven may overheat. If the oven overheats, a thermal safety device will turn the oven off. The oven will remain inoperable until it has cooled.

(b)Do not place oven near a hot or damp surface such as a gas stove, electric range or sink etc.

(c)Do not operate oven when room humidity is too high.

2.This oven was manufactured for household use only.

Food

1.Do not use your oven for home canning or the heating of any closed jar. Pressure will build up and the jar may explode. In addition, the microwave oven cannot maintain the food at the correct canning temperature. Improperly canned food may spoil and be dangerous to consume.

2.Do not attempt to deep fat fry in your microwave oven.

3.Do not boil eggs in their shell (unless otherwise stated in cookbook). Pressure will build up and the eggs will explode.

4.Potatoes, apples, egg yolks, whole squash and sausages are examples of foods with nonporous skins. This type of food must be pierced before cooking, to prevent bursting.

5.When heating liquids, e.g. soup. sauces and beverages in your microwave oven, overheating the liquid beyond boiling point can occur without evidence of bubbling.

This could result in a sudden boil over the hot liquid. To prevent this possibility the following steps should be taken.

(a)Avoid using straight-sided containers with narrow necks.

(b)Do not overheat.

(c)Stir the liquid before placing the container in the oven and again halfway through cooking time.

(d)After heating, allow to stand in the oven for a short time, stirring again before carefully removing the container.

6.DO NOT USE A CONVENTIONAL MEAT THERMOMETER IN THE MICROWAVE OVEN. To check the degree of cooking of roasts and poultry use a MICROWAVE THERMOMETER. Alternatively, a conventional meat thermometer may be used after the food is removed from the oven. If undercooked, return meat or poultry to the oven and cook for a few more minutes at the recommended power level. It is important to ensure that meat and poultry are thoroughly cooked.

7.COOKING TIMES given in the cookbook are APPROXIMATE. Factors that may affect cooking time are preferred degree of moisture content, starting temperature, altitude, volume, size, shape of food and utensils used. As you become familiar with the oven, you will be able to adjust for these factors.

8.It is better to UNDERCOOK RATHER THAN OVERCOOK foods. If food is undercooked, it can always be returned to the oven for further cooking. If food is overcooked, nothing can be done. Always start with minimum cooking times recommended.

9.Extreme care should be taken when cooking popcorn in a microwave oven. Cook for minimum time as recommended by manufacturer. Use the directions suitable for the wattage of your microwave oven. NEVER leave oven unattended when popping popcorn.

10.When heating food in plastic or paper containers, check the oven frequently due to the possibility of ignition.

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

Introduction

English Cookbook

Cooking with Microwave Energy

Microwaves are a form of high frequency electromagnetic waves (approx 12cm wavelength) similar to those used by a radio. Electricity is converted into microwave energy by the magnetron tube. The microwaves travel from the magnetron tube to the oven cavity where they are reflected, transmitted or absorbed.

Reflection

Microwaves are reflected by metal just as a ball is bounced off a wall. A combination of stationary (interior walls) and rotating metal (turntable or stirrer fan) helps assure that the microwaves are well distributed within the oven cavity to produce even cooking.

Transmission

Microwaves pass through some materials such as paper, glass and plastic much like sunlight shining through a window. Because these substances do not absorb or reflect the microwave energy, they are ideal materials for microwave oven cooking containers.

Absorption

Microwaves are absorbed by food. They penetrate to a depth of about 2 to 4cm. Microwave energy excites the molecules in the food (especially water, fat and sugar molecules), and causes them to vibrate very quickly. The vibration causes friction and heat is produced. In large foods, the heat which is produced by friction is conducted to the center to finish cooking.
