Installation and General Instructions
General Use
1. In order to maintain high quality, do not operate
the oven when empty. The microwave energy will
refl ect continuously throughout the oven if no food
or water is present to absorb energy. This can lead
to damage to the microwave oven including arcing
within the oven cavity.
2. If smoke is observed, press the STOP/RESET
Button and leave door closed in order to stifl e any
fl ames. Disconnect the power cord, and/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 fi re.
4. Do not use recycled paper products, unless the
paper product is labelled as safe for microwave
oven use. Recycled paper products may contain
impurities which may cause sparks and/or fi res
when used.
5. Do not use newspapers or paper bags for cooking.
6. Do not hit or strike the 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 GlassTray can
be very hot after removing the cooking container
from the oven.
8. Do not store fl ammable materials next to, on top
of, or in the oven. It could be a fi re 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
non-food products. DO NOT clean this oven with
any product that is labelled 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.
12. During cooking, some steam will condense inside
and/or on the oven door. This is normal and safe.
Steam will disappear after the oven cools down.
– 7 –
Installation and General Instructions
(continued)
13. Do not leave the microwave unattended while
reheating or cooking food in disposable containers
made of plastic, paper or other combustible
materials, as these types of containers can ignite if
overheated.
14. The microwave oven is intended for heating food
and beverages. Drying of food or clothing and
heating of warming pads, slippers, sponges, damp
cloth and similar may lead to risk of injury, ignition
or fi re.
15. Metallic containers for food and beverages are not
allowed during microwave cooking.
16. Only use utensils that are suitable for use in
microwave ovens.
Placement of Oven
1. The oven must be placed on a fl at, stable
surface. For correct operation, the oven must
have suffi cient air fl ow. Allow more than 15 cm
of space on the top of the oven, 10 cm at the
back, and 5 cm on both sides. If one side of the
oven is placed fl ush to wall, the other side or
top must not be blocked. Do not remove feet.
(a) Do not block air vents. If they are blocked
during operation, the oven may be overheated
and damaged. When using any cloth over
the oven, the air intake and exhaust should
not be blocked. Also allow suffi cient space on
back and both sides of the oven.
(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.
3. The appliance must not be placed in a cabinet.
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. Eggs in their shell and whole hard-boiled eggs
should not be heated in microwave ovens since
they may explode, even after microwave heating
has ended.
4. Potatoes, apples, egg yolks, chicken wings, 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 of 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 halfway through cooking time.
(d) After heating, allow to stand in the oven for
a short time, stirring again before carefully
removing the container.
(e) Microwave heating of beverages can result
in delayed eruptive boiling, therefore care
should be taken when handling 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 Cooking Guide
section 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,
keep an eye on the oven due to the possibility of
ignition.
11. The contents of feeding bottles and baby food jars
shall be stirred or shaken and the temperature
checked before consumption, in order to avoid
burns.

Microwaves and How They Work
Microwaves are a form of high frequency radio waves
similar to those used by a radio, including AM, FM and
CB. They are similar to a television where the radio
waves are converted to a picture on the screen. However,
microwaves are much shorter than radio waves;
approximately twelve centimetres wave length. Electricity
is converted into microwave energy by the magnetron
tube (which is the heart of the microwave oven).
From the magnetron tube, microwave energy is
transmitted to the oven cavity through a small plastic
covered piece. The microwaves are converted to heat
in the food. The microwaves enter from the outside
of the food and travel through the food losing half of
their power every two to three centimetres. Continued
cooking to the centre occurs by conduction.
Although pacemakers used to be affected by
microwaves (as well as by other radio waves), they
are now shielded and are not bothered by these
interferences. This allows people with pacemakers
to sit calmly by their radio or television and cook with
microwave ovens.
When microwaves come in contact with a substance,
any one or combination of three things may occur.
They can be:
1. REFLECTED
2. TRANSMITTED
3. ABSORBED
Reflection:
Metal substances REFLECT microwave energy and
because there is no absorption, there is no heating.
This is why the oven interior is either stainless steel or
epoxy-coated steel. This ensures that the microwaves
are kept inside the cavity and evenly distributed
throughout the food with the help of the glass tray.
Transmission:
Such substances as paper, glass and plastic
TRANSMIT microwave energy and do not become
hot except from food. Because these substances do
not refl ect or absorb microwave energy, they are ideal
materials for microwave cooking containers.
Absorption:
Food contains moisture and will ABSORB microwave
energy, which causes the moisture molecules within
the food to vibrate at an incredible rate (2,450,000,000
times per second). Friction, created by the vibration,
produces heat energy which is conducted throughout
the food.
Cookware and Utensils Guide
It is important to use the correct container when
cooking in a microwave oven. The following will help
you make the right selection.
Metallic containers for food and beverages are not
allowed during microwave cooking.
How to Test a Container for Safe
Microwave Oven Use
TO TEST A CONTAINER FOR SAFE MICROWAVE
OVEN USE: Fill a 1-cup glass measure with cool
water and place it in the microwave oven alongside
the empty container to be tested; heat one (1) minute
at 1000 W. If the container is microwave ovensafe
(transparent to microwave energy), the container
should remain comfortably cool, the water in glass
measure should be hot. If the container is hot, it has
absorbed some microwave energy and should NOT be
used. This test cannot be used for plastic containers.
Paper Products and Freezer Wrap
Waxed paper, paper plates, cups and napkins should
not be used for heating or cooking food. Freezer wrap
should not be used as it is not heat resistant and
may melt. Paper towel, greaseproof paper and bake
paper may be safely used for short periods of time for
covering or lining.
Glass, Ceramic and China
Heat-Resistant glass cookware is invaluable in
microwave cooking. Many of these items are readily
available in most homes: glass jugs, mixing bowls, loaf
dishes, covered casseroles, oblong baking dishes, pie
plates and round or square cake dishes. Examples of
this type of cookware are Pyrex® and Corningware®.
Dinnerware can be used for microwave heating.
Many brands of dinnerware are microwave safe.
Check the care information for reference to microwave
use for dinnerware and serving pieces. If dinnerware
is marked ovenproof, it frequently is safe to use in
the microwave oven. However, to be sure, check by
conducting microwave dish test previously mentioned.
Several types of glassware and dinnerware are not
recommended for use in the microwave oven. Do not
use dishes with metallic trim or containers with metal
parts. Do not use cups or mugs with glued on handles,
as they may fall off with continued heating. Do not use
delicate glassware. Although the glassware may be
transparent to microwave energy the heat from the
food may cause the glassware to crack.

Cookware and Utensils Guide
(continued)
Plastics
Plastic dishes, cups and some freezer containers
should be used with care in a microwave oven.
Choose plastic containers carefully, as some plastic
containers may become soft, melt and may scorch.
The majority of plastic dishes, even those designed
for use in the microwave oven, are not suitable for
cooking foods with high fat or sugar content, or for
lengthy cooking times. Most microwave plastic dishes
should not be used for longer than 3 to 5 minutes
on 1000 W. These dishes, although not suitable for
extended cooking, may be used successfully for
defrosting or for use on lower power levels.
Cooking Bags designed to withstand boiling, freezing,
or conventional heating are microwave safe. Prepare
bags according to manufacturer’s directions. When
cooking by microwave, DO NOT use wire twist-ties
to close bag. They can act as an antenna and cause
arcing (sparks).
DO NOT COOK IN PLASTIC FOOD STORAGE
BAGS.
Plastic Wrap such as GLAD WRAP® can be used
to cover dishes in most recipes. Over an extended
heating time, some disfi guration of the wrap may
occur. When removing plastic wrap “covers”, as well
as any glass lid, be careful to remove it away from you
to avoid steam burns.
Loosen plastic but let dish stand, covered.
Metal twist-ties, either paper or plastic coated, should
NOT be used in the microwave oven. Frozen dinner
trays can be used in the microwave, if the container
is no deeper than 2 cm and is fi lled with food. Metal
skewers can not be used in microwave ovens as
arcing may occur. Wooden skewers are readily
available and give the same result.
Shells: Scalloped baking shells are best used during
reheating and for short periods of cooking time only.
Thermometers are available for use in microwave
ovens. DO NOT USE CONVENTIONAL MERCURY
TYPE CANDY OR MEAT THERMOMETERS in food
while cooking in the microwave oven.
Straw, Wicker and Wood
Straw and wicker baskets may be used in the
microwave oven for short periods of time to warm
rolls or bread. Large wooden utensils, such as bowls
or cutting boards should NOT be used for prolonged
heating as the microwave energy may cause the wood
to become dry and brittle.
Jars and Bottles
Jars and bottles can be used to warm food to serving
temperature, if the lid is removed fi rst. Cooking should
not be done in these containers since most are not
heat resistant and during extended heating times, heat
from food would cause cracking or breaking.
Metal
Metal cookware or utensils, or those with metallic
trim, should NOT be used in the microwave. Since
microwave energy is refl ected by metal, foods in
metal containers will not cook evenly. There is also a
possibility of “arcing”.
Although metal utensils should be avoided in
microwave cooking, some metal can be helpful when
used correctly.
Aluminum foil can be used safely, if certain guidelines
are followed, to prevent overcooking. Small pieces of
foil are used to shield areas such as chicken wings,
tips of roasts, or other thin parts that cook before
the rest of the recipe is fi nished. Make sure foil is
attached securely and doesn’t touch sides of oven,
otherwise arcing may occur. Foil lined containers,
either cardboard or plastic, should NOT be used in the
microwave oven as arcing could occur.
