4. Simplified operation.

You are cooking by time arid not by heat. Simply
touch appropriate pad and start.

5. Clean, cool operation.
No smoke, no grease, no heat. Your kitchen stays cool
and clean at all times.

6. Perfect for defrosting and re-heating.
When there is no time for natural thawing of frozen
foods, your microwave oven can reduce the process
to a matter of minutes. It defrosts all kinds of frozen
foods and it re-heats fast.

7. Economical.

Since the required cooking time is extremely short,
microwave cooking is more economical than conven-

tional ovens.

8. Always undercook.

Cooking times may vary according to the tempera-

ture of the food, the density of the food, and the ingre-

dients of the recipe. So always under-cook in the first
instance — you can always place the food back for a
few seconds if it is not quite done, but if you over­cook, there is no turning back.

As you get to know your microwave oven, you may find that a particular setting is too low or too high for the results you
desire.

To set “Multi-Power”, touch POWER then touch number (single digit, 1-9). For example, to set power level 30, touch POW­ER and “3”. The display window will show “30”.
If you want to change to the highest power level instead of power level 30, touch STOP/CLEAR once and reset.
If you want to change to power level 50 instead of power level 30, touch “5” and the display window will show “50”.

FAST DEFROST

Your oven is equipped with an Auto Defrost feature which is the best defrost method for this oven.

FAST DEFROST is explained in order to show other defrosting possibilities.

To speed up the defrosting of dense food items over 450g, start on “HI”, then reduce to the 30 (DEFROST) setting.

1. Microwave on “HI” for 1-2 minutes per 450g of dense food items.

2. Then Microwave on 30 (DEFROST) for 3 minutes per 450g or until food is thawed
Defrosting time will be greatly reduced.

“HI-Power’’/”MultPower”r”Cooking

“HI” gives the highest power cooking possible with your microwave oven. It is the recommended setting for cooking foods
with high moisture content or for cooking foods that need fast cooking to maintain their natural flavour and texture. Many

foods need slower cooking (at less than full power) in order to give you the best results. In addition to “HI” there are ten

multi-power settings. The power setting is recommended for the food being cooked in the Cooking Guide for “Multi-power”

Setting on Page 10.

To Cook

1. Touch STOP/CLEAR, and a beep tone will be heard.

The STOP/CLEAR erases all previous settings.

2. Touch TIME. The light below STEP 1 will go on. “O”
will appear in the display window.

3. Touch the correct numbers on the control ~anel to set

the cooking time. The time set will appea~ in the dis­play window at the top of the control panel. For
example:

● To set 30 seconds, you would touch “3” and then

“o”.

● To set 3 minutes, touch “3”, “O” and “O”.

● To set 3-1/2 minutes, touch “3”, “3” and “O”.

Remember, the timer is a digital clock that is divided
into 60 seconds. Therefore, 1/2 minute is equal to 30
seconds. Touch 30 and not 50 (as with a calculator) to
indicate 1/2.

Touch POWER. The word “HI” will appear in the dis­play window until a lower setting is entered. This is to
tell you that the oven will be operating on “HI” unless

a different power setting is chosen.

Touch the number (sincde diqit. 1-9) for desired cook­ing power level. For e~amp~e: if the recipe calls for
cooking at the “80” (REHEAT) setting, you would
touch “8”. The display window will show “80”. This

means the oven is cooking at power level 80 (RE­HEAT) setting.

N~E: It is not necessary to touch POWER when cook-
ing with the highest power (“HI”). To set “HI-POWER”
Cooking, skip steps 4 and 5 above.
However, if POWER is touched, the word “HI” will
appear in the display window. This is to let you know that
the oven will be operating on “HI” power unless a differ­ent power setting is chosen.

6. Touch START. The oven begins to cook and the dis­play window will show the time counting down in
minutes and seconds. A tone will sound and the word
“End” will appear in the display window for two
seconds when the cooking time is completed. The
oven will automatically shut off.

N~E: To stir or rearrange food during cooking, simply

open the door; stir or rearrange and close the door.
Touch “START”.
The oven will automatically continue to count down the

remaining amount of time left in the display window.

EXAMPLE: To warm 6 dough­nuts, you would use power level
“80 (REHEAT)” for 45 seconds.

To do this, follow these six steps:

1. Touch STOP/CLEAR.

2. Touch TIME.

3. Set 45 seconds by touching
“4” and then “5”. “45” will

appear in the display window.

4. Touch POWER. The display
window will show “HI”.

5. Choose the “80 (REHEAT)”
setting by touching the num-

ber “8.” The display window

will show “80”. This means the

oven is cooking at power level

80.

6. Touch START. The oven be­gins to cook and the time will
begin to count down in the dis­play window.
A tone will sound and the
word “End” will appear in the
display window for 2 seconds
when the 45 seconds are over.

The oven shuts off automat­ically.

NCYTE: If you want to keep the
food warm after finishing the
cooking cycle, you can use the
“Hold Warm” feature. For detailed
instructions on using the “Hold
Warm” feature, see page 8.

Multi-Stage Cooking

Multi-Stage cooking allows you to set the oven to cook in one stage at a certain power level for a chosen time and then in
a second and a third stage at a different power level for a chosen time. The cooking process can be set for four memory
stages when Auto Defrost is included as the first stage. The stages are set before cooking and will follow automatically when
oven is started.

Automatic Sensor Cooking

This advanced microwave cooking provides simple touch operation for a wide variety of foods, yet always delivers the
results that are tailored to the food as well as to your personal preference.

Built right into your oven, the humidity sensor constantly measures steam produced from the food in the oven cavity
throughout the- cooking process, and selects the right cooking time and power level.

AUTO DEFROST TIPS

s The benefit of the Auto Defrost feature is the auto-

matic setting and control of defrosting, but just like
conventional defrosting, you must check the food
during the defrosting time.

. To check the food “Pause” is preset in this Auto

Defrost cycle.
Turn over, separate or rearrange food items per in­structions in the Auto Defrost Chart when the word

“PAUS” appears in the display window.

● For best results, remove fish/seafood/meat/poultry

from its original paper or plastic packaging (wrapper).

Otherwise, the wrap will hold steam and juices close

to the foods.

● Place foods in a shallow microproof baking dish or on

a microwave roasting rack to prevent steam and juices
cooking outside areas of the food.

● Food should still be somewhat icy in the center when

removed from the oven.

. Standing time is included in the Auto Defrost courses.

IMPORTANT N~E: The defrosting power setting

(power level 30 DEFROST) should not be confused with
this “Auto Defrost” feature. The defrost cooking level is
a low-energy setting used to cook foods that need slow,
gentle cooking. Also, use the defrost cooking level to
defrost small ground beef patties, bacon and bread
items.

● When it is difficult to remove the wrap from the foods,

defrost the wrapped food for about a quarter of the to­tal defrost time, which is displayed at the beginning of
the defrost cycle. Remove the food from the oven and
then remove the wrap from the food. Return the food
to the oven and touch START.

–28–

Automatic Detiosting (Cent’d)

EXAMPLE: To defrost 1.2kg of Ground Beef you would use Auto Defrost course number DEF 1

To do this follow these steps:

1. Touch STOP/CLEAR.

2. Touch AUTO DEFROST to
select the appropriate auto­matic defrosting course. The
word “dEF” will appear in the
display window and the light
below DEF will flash.

3. Touch a number (single digit,
1-3) to select the course
desired. Touch number “l” to
select the meat course (DEF

1). The course number “dEF
l“ will appear in the display
window. The light below DEF
will stop flashing and remain

on. The light above WEIGHT
will flash. This is to tell you that
you need to enter the weight.

4. Touch numbers to enter the

food weight in decimal incre-

ments from O.lkg to 2.9kg.
Enter the weight of the ground

beef by touching “l” and then

“2”. The number “1.2” will ap-

pear in the display window.
The light above WEIGHT will
stop flashing and will remain
on.

It is not necessary to enter weight when defrosting

lkg of food. The menu automatically selects lkg if is
not entered.
To enter a weight of less than lkg always press “O”
first. For example, to enter 0.2kg, press “O” and then
“2”.
As only one digit can be entered after decimal point,
round ficmres off to the lower number to avoid over
defrosti~g. For example, for 1.28kg, use 1.2.

5. Touch START. The oven will
begin the defrosting course
you have selected. You will see
the time “counting down” in
the display window.
The oven will stop automati­cally at the end of the first time
segment

and the word
“PAUS” will appear in the dis­play window.

6. At pause, follow the instruc­tions in the Auto Defrost Chart

for separating, rearranging,

and turning food over. See

page 16 and 17.

N~E: If the oven door is not o~ened durinq the uause

time segment, the oven will restart automati~ally after 5
minutes. Because turning, separating, etc. are usually
necessary for proper defrosting
steps 1 thru 7 for best results.

7. After turning food over or rear-

ranging, etc. touch START.
The oven will resume defrost­ing. The display window will
show the time remaining. At
the end of the defrosting time,
a tone will sound and the word
“End” will appear in the dis­play window for 2 seconds.
The oven shuts off automat­ically.

How to Use Your Microwave Oven Safely
(IMPORTANT)

Although your oven is provided with safety features,
it is important to observe the following:

a) It is important not to interfere or tamper with safety in-

terlocks.

b) Do not place any object between the oven front face

and the door or allow residue to accumulate on door
sealing surfaces. Wipe the door sealing area frequent­ly with a mild detergent, rinse and wipe dry. Never use
abrasive powders or pads.

c) When opened, the door must not be subjected to

strain, for example, a child hanging on an opened
door or any load could cause the oven to fall forward,
weight could also damage the door.

Do not operate the oven if it is damaged, until it has

been repaired by a service engineer trained by

SANYO. It is particularly important that the oven
closes properly and that it is inspected to ensure that

there is no damage to the:

i) Door (bent)
ii) Hinges and Latches (broken or loosened)
iii) Door seals and Sealing surfaces

d) It is dangerous for anyone other than a properly quali-

fied service engineer trained by SANYO to carry out
adjustments or repairs.

e) Small quantities of food or foods with low moisture

content or high fat or sugar content can burn, dry out
or catch on fire if cooked or re-heated too long.
Please note that the heating/cooking period required
is extremely short: for example it only takes approxi­mately 15 seconds to heat one mince pie or similar.
In the unlikely event of a fire occurring, turn off the
oven and its electrical supply, pull out the plug, but
keep the oven door closed.

f) If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by

SANYO SERVICE CENTRE, as a special prepared
cord is required.

I

N~E
It

is quite normal for steam to be emitted around the
door, for misting to occur on the door, or even for
water droplets to appear below the door during the
cooking cycle.

This is merely condensation from the heat of the food
and does not affect the safety of your oven.
The door is not intended to seal the oven cavity com­pletely but its special SANYO design contributes to
the complete safety of the appliance.

WARNING

1. Do not heat food or liquids in bottles or jars with lids

%’r must be allowed to escape from the container. Do

not warm babies bottles in the microwave oven with
screw top lids or teats in place.

2. Milk or food for babies should be heated on SIMMER.
It should then be stirred thoroughly and the milk or

food should be tested to ensure that it is at the correct

temperature before giving it to the baby.

3. When boiling water or other liquids, be sure to use a
wide necked container. This will allow air bubbles to
escape freely. Should a narrow necked container be
used, air bubbles may combine to forma large bubble
which may in turn cause the liquid to boil over. This
may happen even after the cooking time has stopped.

4. Do not attempt to operate the oven while empty as
this will cause damage.

5. As an exhaust is located in the rear of the oven, install
the oven so as not to block the outlet.

6. Do not deep fry in the microwave oven as the temper­ature of oil cannot be controlled and it may overheat.

7. Always remove contents from cans to microproof
container for reheating.

8. It is important to keep the oven interior clean. Food
particles or spatters left on the oven walls reduce the
efficiency of the microwaves.

9. Never completely seal containers in the microwave
oven. Coverings are necessary but containers must
not be airtight,

Usable Cooking Utensils and Materials

OVENPROOF GLASS

Ovenware (treated for high-intensity heat), such as mix­ing bowls, bread dishes, pie plates, cake plates, liquid
measuring cups, casseroles, and bowls without metallic

decoration.

CHINA

Bowls, cups serving pieces, plates, and platters without

metallic decoration.

POTTERY

Dishes, cups, mugs, and bowls.

PLASTIC

Non P.V.C. cling film maybe used as a cover. Place cling

film firmly over container, make sure there is sufficient air

space by pressing finger in the centre. Never have the
cling film skin tight. The dish should be deep enough so

that the cling film will not touch the food. As the food

heats, it may cause the cling film to melt wherever it

touches the food. Plastic dishes, cups, semi rigid freezer

containers, and plastic bags are usable for short cooking
operations. Use with care as some softening of the plastic
can occur with heat from the food.
Specially designed plastic microwave cookware is suita­ble for general use provided it is clearly maked “Micro­wave Oven” safe.

Utensils and Materials to Avoid

METAL UTENSILS

Metal utensils are not recommended because the metal

shields the food from microwave energy on the bottom

and sides, causing uneven cooking results. Metal uten-

sils could also cause arcing and damage the appliance.

METAL DECORATION

Metal-trimmed or -banded dinnerware, casseroles, etc.,

should not be used. The metal trim interferes with nor-

mal cooking and may damage the dish.

WOOD

Wooden bowls and boards, will become dried out when

used in the microwave oven and may split or crack.

~HER
Avoid using cracked, flawed, or defective utensils, in-

cluding ovenproof glassware.
CAUTION: DO NOT USE METAL TIES ON ANY

PAPER OR PLASTIC BAGS; THE TIES BECOME
HOT AND COULD CAUSE A FIRE.

ALUMINIUM FOIL

Large sheets of aluminium foil should be avoided be-

cause they will disrupt cooking and may cause harmful

arcing. However, smaller pieces may be used to cover

areas such as poultry legs and wings. Any aluminium foil

used should never be closer than 2.5cm (1 inch) from

side walls of oven.

Do not cover food completely with aluminium foil.

A Few Other Precautions (IMPOKLANT)

1. Arcing in the oven during operation usually occurs

from use of metallic utensils or overuse of aluminium
foil. Arcing is denoted by a “snapping” or “cracking”
noise and may be accompanied by bright flashes.
Continuous arcing can damage the unit. If continu­ous arcing occurs during operation, do not use the
unit and call a service engineer.

2. Always make sure that closed containers, such as jars
of baby food, are opened and plastic pouches of
vegetable are pierced before cooking.
Tightly closed containers could explode.

3. Do not cook eggs in their shells because they will ex­plode. Puncture the membrane around the yolk be­fore frying eggs. This is because the yolk swells faster
than the membrane and the egg explodes when heat-

ed quickly.

4. Do not be alarmed or surprised if you notice the turnt­able moving clockwise sometimes, and anticlockwise
at other times. There is nothing wrong with your oven
it is merely the type of turntable motor we use.

5. Small quantities of food or foods with low moisture
content or high fat or sugar content can burn, dry out
or catch on fire if cooked or re-heated too long.

Please note that the heating/cooking period required

is extremely short: for example it only takes approxi-

mately 15 seconds to heat one mince pie or similar.
In the unlikely event of a fire occurring, turn off the
oven and its electrical supply, pull out the plug, but

KEEP THE OVEN DOOR CLOSED.
