tripping over a longer cord. Longer cord sets or extension cords are available and you can
use them if you exercise care. If you use a long cord or extension cord:
1. The marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord should be at least as great
as the electrical rating of the appliance.
2. The extension cord must be a grounding-type 3-wire cord and it must be plugged into a
3-slot outlet.
3. The longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the counter top or
tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over accidentally. If you use an
extension cord, the interior light may icker and the speed of the blower may vary when
the microwave oven is on. Cooking times may be longer too.

In the event of a grease re on the surface units below the oven, smother the aming pan
on the surface unit by covering the pan completely with a lid, a cookie sheet, or a at tray.
Never leave surface units beneath your oven unattended at high heat settings. Boil
overs cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite and spread if the vent fan is
operating. To minimize automatic fan operation, use adequate sized cookware and use
high heat on surface units only when necessary.
If materials inside the oven should ignite, keep the oven door closed, turn the oven off
and disconnect the power cord, or shut off power at the fuse or circuit breaker panel. If
the door is opened, the re may spread.
- Always observe Safety Precautions when using your oven. Never try to repair the

How a microwave oven works
Microwaves are high-frequency electromagnetic waves; the energy released enables food to
be cooked or reheated without changing either the form or the colour.
You can use your microwave oven to:
• Defrost
• Reheat
• Cook
Cooking principle.
1. The microwaves generated by the
magnetron reected at cavity and 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
(2.5cm). Cooking then continues as the
heat is dissipated within the food.
3. Cooking times vary according to the
container used and the properties of the
food:
• Quantity and density
• Water content
• Initial temperature (refrigerated or
not)
IMPORTANT
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 specied 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.
