HOW TO USE YOUR OVEN SAFELY (MICROWAVE)

1.When boiling water or other liquids, be sure to use a wide mouthed container, this will allow air bubbles to escape freely and prevent boiling over. Overheating the liquid beyond boiling point can occur without the evidence of bubbling. This could result in a sudden boil over of the hot liquid.

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

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

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

5.Small quantities of food with low moisture content or high fat or sugar content can burn, dry out or catch 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.

6.Always pierce food which has a skin or membrane, for example, potatoes, tomatoes, apples, sausages etc. If you don't pierce them steam will build up inside and they may explode.

7.When disposable containers of plastic, paper or other combustible materials are used to reheat food, it is advisable to check from time to time during the cooking cycle.

NOTE

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.

ALTHOUGH YOUR OVEN IS PROVIDED WITH SAFETY FEATURES,

IT IS IMPORTANT TO OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:

a.Do not tamper with safety interlocks.

b.Do not place any object between the oven and the door or allow any food residue to accumulate on 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 may cause the oven to fall forward resulting in injury.

d.If any damage is apparent, do not operate the oven. Contact your nearest SANYO SERVICE CENTRE.

e.Children may use the appliance only without supervision as long as instructions had been given which enables the child for safe operation and makes the child aware of the dangers of false operation.

OTHER IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

The following safety precautions should be followed when using this appliance:

1.Read all instructions before first use.

2.When using the grill and / or convection function for the first time, smoke and odour may be given off for a few minutes. This is normal during first operation, and is no cause for alarm.

3.As with most cooking appliances, close supervision is necessary.

If a fire should start:

*Keep the oven door closed.

*Turn the oven off.

*Disconnect the power cord or shut off the power at the mains.

Other important safety points to remember are:

WHEN COOKING BY MICROWAVE:

1.Do not use wire ties in the oven. Be sure to inspect purchased items for wire ties and remove before placing food in the oven.

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

3.Do not heat foods or liquids in bottles or jars with lids on. Air must be allowed to escape from the container.

4.Milk or food for babies should be heated on 450W. It should then be stirred thoroughly and tested to ensure that it is at the correct temperature before giving it to the baby.

5.Care must be taken when removing cups of hot liquid from the turntable. Cups should be lifted not slid to the edge of the turntable to prevent tipping.

WHEN COOKING BY GRILL / CONVECTION:

1.Take care not to spill water on the glass viewing window during or immediately after cooking as it may crack.

2.Be sure to use an oven glove when loading and unloading the oven. Care should be taken to avoid touching cavity walls inside oven.

3.Be careful not to touch the viewing window when loading or unloading the oven.

4.The top of the cabinet gets very hot, therefore do not place items on the oven.

WARNING

(a)Do not adjust or repair microwave oven yourself. Do not operate the oven if it is damaged, until it has been repaired by a service engineer trained by the manufacturer.

(b)It is dangerous for anyone other than a properly qualified engineer trained by the manufacturer to carry out adjustments or repairs.

(c)If the power supply cord 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)On no account remove or interfere with any parts or screws.

THIS COULD PROVE VERY DANGEROUS.

INSTALLATION

CONNECTING TO THE MAINS

Before you use your oven, check that the voltage shown on the data label located on the face of the oven conforms with your mains supply. The mains lead is fitted with a 13 amp plug containing a 13 amp fuse. If the fuse requires replacing at any time, the fuse cover should be removed using a small screwdriver to lever it out. The old fuse should be replaced by a 13 amp fuse and the fuse cover must be refitted before the plug is used again.

If the plug supplied on the mains lead is not suitable for the socket in your home, it should be cut off and disposed of safely, or destroyed, to avoid any possible shock hazard resulting from the plug being inserted into a 13 amp socket elsewhere in the house. A suitable replacement plug should then be fitted. (If a 13 amp plug and socket are not used, the circuit supplying the oven should contain a 13 amp fuse).

If the fuse cover is lost or damaged, the plug must not be used until a replacement is obtained. Replacement fuse covers are available from SANYO SERVICE CENTRES. It is important that the colour of the replacement fuse cover corresponds with the coloured insert or as embossed in words on the base of the plug.

WARNING - THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE

EARTHED

IMPORTANT The wires in this mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code: Green-and-yellow: Earth. Blue: Neutral. Brown: Live.

As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this appliance may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:

The wire which is coloured green-and-yellow must be connected to the terminal in the plug which is marked with the the letter E or by the earth symbol or coloured green or green-and-yellow.

The wire which is coloured blue must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter N or coloured black.

The wire which is coloured brown must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter L or coloured red.

OVEN POSITIONING

1.Install the oven on a flat, level surface strong enough to safely bear the weight of the oven.

2.Do not locate the oven near areas where heat and moisture are generated as this may lower oven efficiency.

3.Covering the air vents may lead to malfunctioning, therefore a minimum clearance of 5cm is required to each side, and to

the rear and 5cm above.

4.This oven conforms to EMC Radio interference Directive 89/336/EEC, however some interference may occur if it is placed too close to a radio or TV, so keep them as far apart as possible.

5.The oven must be positioned so that the supply plug is easily accessible.

HIGH AND VARIABLE POWER COOKING

This basic microwave cooking method allows you to cook food for a desired time. In addition to the maximum power level, you can select different microwave power from 5 other levels, 80W to 750W for the foods that require slower cooking.

Foods with high moisture content should be cooked on maximum power, as this is the fastest cooking method and best maintains the natural flavour and texture of the foods.

Manual Defrosting

For manual defrosting (without using Auto Defrost features), use 150W. To speed up the defrosting of dense foods over 450g (1Ib), the oven may start on full power for 1-3 minutes, then be reduced to 150W until defrosting is complete.

NOTE:

The time increments for the Up / Down keys are as follows:

TIME	INCREMENT
0-5 min.	15 secs.
5-10 min.	30 secs.

SET TIME” shows in display.

Touch "Down/Up" until 3. 15.00 is indicated in the

display window. “PRESS START” shows in display.

4.	Touch "Start".

THERMAL GRILL COOKING

Grill 2

During thermal grill cooking, both fan and grill element operate together to circulate hot air around the food to assist the cooking process.

This method is ideal for small items such as sausages which you would usually grill. Place food on the high grill rack on the turntable. Do not use thermal grill for toasting bread as the result will be rather dry. The grill cooking time can be set to a maximum of 90 minutes.

Example: Set oven to Thermal Grill for 15 minutes.

1.					Touch "Clear / Stop".
					Touch "Grill" key twice.
2.					“GRILL 2 - SET TIME”
					shows in display.

3.					15.00 is indicated in the
					display window. “PRESS

START” shows in display.

4.	Touch "Start".

16

CONVECTION COOKING

This oven can be used as a conventional oven by using the fan assisted convection function. The temperature range is 40 - 250°C.

For recipes which require higher temperatures e.g pastries, scones or Yorkshire puddings, best results are obtained if the oven is preheated first.

Note:

When preheating is completed. Immediately place the food in the oven, set the convection cooking temperature, time and begin cooking.

This function is ideal for cooking meringues, biscuits, scones, bread, Yorkshire puddings, large fruit cakes and all pastries. It can also be used for proving bread at 40°C. The convection cooking time can be set for a maximum of 90 minutes.

One or two level convection cooking;

Convection cooking can be done on one or two levels using the two racks provided. If cooking on one level, place food on low rack. If cooking on two levels (ie batch baking) swap position of food halfway through cooking to get the most even result.

As there is no microwave energy being used you can place metal tins directly onto the metal racks with no danger of arcing.

Example: Set oven to Preheat to 200°C.

(The oven is preheated before the food is added)

1.		Touch "Clear / Stop".
		Press "Convec.Temp" key twelve
2.		times. The Convection indicator
		lights up and "200 C" is displayed.
		Press "Start". The oven will now
		preheat. When the correct
3.		temperature is reached the oven
		will beep 3 times and
		"PREHEATING COMPLETED -
		200 C" will appear in the display.
		You may now place the food in the
		oven, set the convection cooking
		temperature and time as below and
		begin cooking immediately.

Example: To then set the preheated oven to cook using Convection for 20 minutes, at 200°C.

4.		Touch "Clear / Stop", once.
		“200 C - SET TIME” shows
		in display place food on the
		low rack in the oven.
5.		Touch "Down/Up" until
		20.00 is indicated in the

display window.

6.	Touch "Start".
