PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO
EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY
Failure to observe the following safety precautions may result in harmful
exposure to microwave energy.
(a) Under no circumstances should any attempt be made to operate the ove n with
the door open or to tamper with the safety interlocks (door latches) or to insert
anything into the safety interlock holes.
(b) Do not place any object between the oven door and front face or allow food or
cleaner residues to accumulate on sealing surfaces. Ensure that the door and
door sealing surfaces are kept clean by wiping after use first with a damp cloth
and then with a soft dry cloth.
(c) Do not operate the oven if it is damaged until it has been repaired by a
qualified microwave service technician trained by the manufacturer. It is
particularly important that the oven door closes properly and that there is no
damage to the:
(1) Door, door seals and sealing surfaces
(2) Door hinges (broken or loose)
(3) Power cable
(d) The oven should not be adjusted or repaired by anyone other than a properly
qualified microwave service technician trained by the manufacturer.

Safety Precautions
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS.
READ CAREFULLY AND KEEP FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.
Before cooking food or liquids in your microwave oven, please check
that the following safety precautions are taken.
1. DO NOT use any metallic cookware in the microwave oven:
•Metallic containers
•Dinnerware with gold or silver trimmings
•Skewers, forks, etc.
Reason
2. DO NOT heat:
3. DO NOT operate the microwave oven when it is empty.
4. DO NOT cover the rear ventilation slots with cloths or paper.
5. ALWAYS use oven gloves when removing a dish from the oven.
6. DO NOT touch heating elements or interior oven walls.
7. To reduce the risk of fire in the oven cavity:
8. Take particular care when heating liquids and baby foods.
: Electric arcing or sparking may occur and may damage the oven.
•Airtight or vacuum-sealed bottles, jars, containers
Ex) Baby food jars
•Airtight food.
Ex) Eggs, nuts in shells, tomatoes
Reason
: The increase in pressure may cause them to explode.
Tip
: Remove lids and pierce skins, bags, etc.
Reason
: The oven walls may be damaged.
Tip
: Leave a glass of water inside the oven at all times.
The water will absorb the microwaves if you accidentally set the
oven going when it is empty.
Reason
: The cloths or paper may catch fire as hot air is evacuated from the
oven.
Reason
: Some dishes absorb microwaves and heat is always transferred
from the food to the dish.The dishes are therefore hot.
Reason
: These walls may be hot enough to burn even after cooking has
finished, even though they do not appear to be so. Do not allow
inflammable materials to come into contact with any interior area of
the oven. Let the oven cool down first.
•Do not store flammable materials in the oven
•Remove wire twist ties from paper or plastic bags
•Do not use your microwave oven to dry newspapers
•If smoke is observed, keep the oven door closed and switch off or
disconnect the oven from the power supply
•ALWAYS allow a standing time of at least 20 seconds after the oven has
been switched off so that the temperature can equalize.
•Stir during heating, if necessary, and ALWAYS stir after heating.
•Take care when handling the container af ter heating. You may burn
yourself, if the container is too hot.
•A risk of delayed eruptive boiling exists.
•To prevent delayed boiling and possible scalding, you should put a plastic
spoon or glass stick into the beverages and stir before, during and after
heating.
Reason
: During the heating of liquids the boiling point can be delayed; this
means that eruptive boiling can start after the container is removed
•In the event of scalding, follow these FIRST AID instructions :
•NEVER fill the container to the top and choose a container that is wider at
•ALWAYS check the temperature of baby food or milk bef ore giving it to
•NEVER heat a baby’s bottle with the teat on, as the bottle ma y explo d e if

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
During cooking, you should look into the oven from time to time when food is
being heated or cooked in disposable containers of plastic, paper or other
combustible materials.
IMPORTANT
Young children should NEVER be allowed to use or play with the microwave
oven. Nor should they be left unattended near the microwave oven when it is in
use. Items of interest to children should not be stored or hidden just above the
oven.
WARNING:
If the door or door seals are damaged, the oven must not be operated until it has
been repaired by a competent person.
WARNING:
It is hazardous for anyone other than a comperent person to carry out any service
or repair operation which involves the removal of a cover which gives protection
against exposure to microwave energy.
WARNING:
Liquids and other foods must not be heated in sealed containers since they are
liable to explode.
WARNING:
Only allow children to use the oven without supervicion 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.
Place the oven on a flat, level surface that is strong enough to safely

ventilation for your oven by leaving at least 10 cm (4
inches) of space behind, and on the sides of the oven, at
10cm
least 20 cm (8 inches) of space above the oven.
2. Remove all packing materials inside the oven.
Install the roller ring and turntable.
Check that the turntable rotates freely.
3. This microwave oven has to be positioned so that plug is
accessible.
☛Never block the air vents as the oven may overheat and
automatically switch itself off. It will remain inoperable until it has
cooled sufficiently.
☛For your personal safety, plug the cable into a 3-pin, 220 Volt,
50Hz, AC earthed socket. If the power cable of this appliance is
damaged, it must be replaced by a special cable (I-SHENG
SP022, KDK KKP4819D, EUROELECTRIC 3410, SAMIL SP106B, MOONSUNG EP-48E, HIGH PROJECT H.P 3). Contact
your local dealer to have it replaced. The power cable of ISRAEL
is PENCON(ZD16A), S/AFRICA APEX LEADS SA16 and
NIGERIA, GHANA, KENYA and U.A.E is PENCON(UD13A1).
☛Do not install the microwave oven in hot or damp surroundings
like next to a traditional oven or radiator. The power supply
specifications of the oven must be respected and any extension
cable used must be of the same standard as the power cable
supplied with the oven. Wipe the interior and the door seal with a
damp cloth before using your microwave oven for the first time.

Setting the Time
How a Microwave Oven W orks
Your microwave oven has an inbuilt clock. The time can be displayed
in either the 24-hour or 12-hour notatio n. You must set the clock:
•When you first install your microwave oven
•After a power failure
✉Do not forget to reset the clock when you switch to and from
summer or winter time.

4. Turn the dial knob to set the minute.
5. Press the button.
Microwaves are high-frequency electromagnetic waves; the energy
released enables food to be cooked or reheated without changing
either the form or the colour of the food.
You can use your microwave oven to:
•Auto Power Defrost
•Instant Reheat
•Auto Cook/Reheat
•Cook
Cooking Principle
1. The microwaves generated by the magnetron are
distributed uniformly as the food rotates on the
turntable. The food is thus cooked evenly.
2. The microwaves are absorbed by the food up to a
depth of about 1 inch (2.5 cm). Cooking then
continues as the heat is dissipated within the food.
3. Cooking times vary according to the recipient used
and the properties of the foo d:
•Quantity and density
•Water content
•Initial temperature (refrigerated or not)
☛As the centre of the food is cooked by heat dissipation, cooking
continues even when you have taken the food out of the oven.
Standing times specified in recipes and in this booklet must
therefore be respected to ensure:
•Even cooking of the food right to the centre
•The same temperature throughout the food

Cookware Guide
To cook food in the microwave oven, the microwaves must be able to
penetrate the food, without being reflected or absorbed by the dish
used.
Care must therefore be taken when choosing the cookware. If the
cookware is marked microwave-safe, you do not need to worry.

Cooking Guide
MICROWAVES
GB
Microwave energy actually penetrates food, attracted and absorbed by its water,
fat and sugar content.
The microwaves cause the molecules in the food to move rapidly. The rapid
movement of these molecules creates friction and the resulting heat cooks the
food.
COOKING
Cookware for microwave cooking:
Cookware must allow microwave energy to pass through it for maximum
efficiency. Microwaves are reflected by metal, such as stainless steel, aluminium
and copper, but they can penetrate through ceramic, glass, porcelain and plastic
as well as paper and wood. So food must never be cooked in metal containers.
Foods suitable for microwave cookin g :
Many kinds of food are suitable for microwave cooking, including fresh or frozen
vegetables, fruit, pasta, rice, grains, beans, fish, and meat. Sauces, custard,
soups, steamed puddings, preserves, and chutneys can also be cooked in a
microwave oven. Generally speaking, microwave cooking is ideal for any food
that would normally be prepared on a hob. Melting butter or chocolate, for
example (see the chapter with tips, techniques and hints).
Covering during cooking
To cover the food during cooking is very important, as the evaporated water rises
as steam and contributes to cooking process.
Food can be covered in different ways: e.g. with a ceramic plate, plastic cover or
microwave suitable cling film.
Cooking Guide for frozen vegetables
Use a suitable glass pyrex bowl with lid. Cook covered for the minimum time - see
table. Continue cooking to get the result you prefer.
Stir twice during cooking and once after cooking. Add salt, herbs or butter after
cooking. Cover during standing time.

REHEATING
GB
Your microwave oven will reheat food in a fraction of the time that conventional
ovens hobs normally take.
Use the power levels and reheating times in the following chart as a guide. The
times in the chart consider liquids with a room temperature of about +18 to +20°C
or a chilled food with a temperature of about +5 to +7°C.
Arranging and covering
Avoid reheating large items such as joint of meat - they tend to overcook and dry
out before the centre is piping hot. Reheating small pieces will be more
successful.
Power levels and stirring
Some foods can be reheated using 850 W power while others should be reheated
using 600 W, 450 W or even 300 W.
Check the tables for guidance. In general, it is better to reheat food using a lower
power level, if the food is delicate, in large quantities, or if it is likely to heat up
very quickly (mince pies, for example).
Stir well or turn food over during reheating for best results. When possible, stir
again before serving.
Take particular care when heating liquids and baby foods. To prevent eruptive
boiling of liquids and possible scalding , stir before, during and after heating.
Keep them in the microwave oven during standing time. We recommend putting a
plastic spoon or glass stick into the liquids. Avoid overheating (and therefore
spoiling) the food.
It is preferable to underestimate cooking time and add extra heating time, if
necessary.
REHEATING LIQUIDS
Always allow a standing time of at least 20 seconds after the oven has been
switched off to allow the temperature to even out. Stir during heating, if
necessary, and ALWAYS stir after heating. To prevent eruptive boiling and
possible scalding, you should put a spoon or glass stick into the beverages and
stir before, during and after heating.
REHEATING BABY FOOD
BABY FOOD:
Empty into a deep ceramic plate. Cover with plastic lid. Stir well after reheating!
Let stand for 2-3 minutes before serving. Stir again and check the temperature.
Recommended serving temperature: between 30-40°C.
BABY MILK:
Pour milk into a sterilised glass bottle. Reheat uncovered. Never heat a baby's
bottle with teat on, as the bottle may explode if overheated. Shake well before
standing time and again before serving ! Always carefully check the temperature
of baby milk or food before giving it to the baby. Recommended serving
temperature: ca. 37°C.
REMARK:
Baby food particularly needs to be checked carefully before serving to prevent
burns.
Use the power levels and times in the next table as a guide lines for reheating.
Heating and standing times
When reheating food for the first time, it is helpful to make a note of the time
taken - for future reference.
Always make sure that the reheated food is piping hot throughout.
Allow food to stand for a short time after reheating - to let the temperature even
out.
The recommended standing time after reheating is 2-4 minutes, unless another
time is recommended in the chart..
Take particular care when heating liquids and baby food. See also the chapter
with the safety precautions.

DEFROSTING
GB
Microwaves are an excellent way of defrosting frozen food. Microwaves gently
defrost frozen food in a short period of time.
This can be of great advantage, if unexpected guests suddenly show up.
Frozen poultry must be thoroughly thawed before cooking. Remove any metal
ties and take it out of any wrapping to allow thawed liquid to drain away.
Put the frozen food on a dish without cover. Turn over half way, drain off any
liquid and remove any giblets as soon as possible.
Check the food occasionally to make sure that it does not feel warm.
If smaller and thinner parts of the frozen food start to warm up, they can be shield
by wrapping very small strips of aluminium foil around them during defrosting.
Should poultry start to warm up on the outer surface, stop thawing and allow it to
stand for 20 minutes before continuing.
Leave the fish, meat and poultry to stand in order to complete defrosting. The
standing time for complete defrosting will vary depending on the quantity
defrosted. Please refer to the table below.
Hint: Flat food defrosts better than thick and smaller quantities need less time
than bigger ones. Remember this hint while freezing and defrosting food.
For defrosting of frozen food with a temperature of about -18 to - 20 °C, use the
following table as a guide.
All frozen food should be defrosted using defrosting power level (180 W).
