SPECIFICATIONS

EM-FL90

Power Source 230 V
Maximum Output Power 900 W*
Power Grill 1200 W
Convection Heater 1200 W
Oven Capacity 1.1 cu. ft. (32 L)

Net Weight 25 Kg

*According to IEC 705 test procedures.

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.

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.

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.

HOW TO USE YOUR OVEN SAFELY (MICROWAVE)

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.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

5

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.
Do not place the oven near combustible
materials e.g. curtains, kitchen paper.

5. The grill may cycle on/off during operation.

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.Cups should be placed in the centre of
glass tray.

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

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

MICROWAVE 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 are as
follows:

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. The preheat
temperature range is 100 - 250°C.

Note:

Convection cooking 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) place food on the high and
low rack. 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.

As previously stated, best results
are obtained if the oven is
preheated before convection
cooking. However it is possible to
begin convection cooking without
preheating, ie for proving bread at
40˚C. Simply omit steps 3. and 4.

Press "Convec.Temp" key twelve
times. The Convection indicator
lights up and "200 C" is displayed.

Close the door and press "Start".

HINTS & TIPS FOR BEST RESULTS

1. MEAT:

For defrosting meat joints, minced meat, chops, steaks etc.
Meat Joints - Use of “More” key is recommended.
To prevent over defrosting meat joints will require shielding around fatty areas with a smooth piece of foil.
Joints will require at least 40 minutes standing time after defrosting to ensure that the centre is thoroughly
defrosted, large joints will require longer standing times.

Steaks / Chops - “More / Less” key is not usually required.
Particularly delicate outer areas of steaks / chops may require shielding with smooth foil.

Minced or Cubed meat. Use of “Less” key is recommended.
Minced or Cubed meat should be broken up as soon as possible and any defrosted parts removed.

Sausages / Spare Ribs / Bacon - Use “Less” key recommended for these delicate meats.
Chops / sausages etc should be arranged in a single layer, and turned / rearranged at the pause. Most
meats, with the exception of joints will require a standing time of at least 15 minutes.

2. POULTRY:

For defrosting whole poultry and poultry pieces.
Whole Poultry - Use of “More” key is recommended.
Shielding of thin leg and wing areas and back bone is recommended. Begin defrosting breast side down
and turnover at the pause. Whole poultry will require a standing time of at least 40 minutes to ensure that
the centre is defrosted, large poultry will require longer standing times.

Chicken Pieces - “More / Less” key is not usually required.
Particularly delicate or thin parts may require shielding with smooth foil. Arrange pieces with the
thicker parts to the outside and rearrange at the pause.

3. FISH:

For defrosting all types of fish.

Fillets - “More / Less” key is not usually required.
Whole Fish / Fish Steaks / Prawns - Use of “Less” key is recommended for these more delicate types of

fish. Arrange fish in single layer, overlap thin areas and shield delicate areas such as heads and tails with
small, smooth pieces of foil. (It is important that this foil does not touch the oven side.) Rearrange fish at
the pause. Allow standing time of at least 10 minutes.

4. BREAD:

For defrosting small bread items e.g rolls, bun and slices required for immediate use.
Remove all packaging and place the bread on a plate, at the pause it is very important to separate the
rolls / slices (a knife may be useful). Rearrange with the most frozen parts to the outside, remove any
defrosted pieces. (When rearranging slices it is vital to ensure that the turntable can still turn.)
Note that immediately after defrosting bread may feel warm. Allow 5-10 mins standing time. The defrosting
process can be speeded up by cutting rolls in half as soon as possible.
Loaves may be defrosted using “More” key, at least 15 mins standing time will be required.
Begin defrosting whole loaves on their side, cut in half and turn over at the pause. It is important to cut
whole loaves on their side, cut in half or into slices as soon as possible to speed up the defrosting process.

This program is not suitable for defrosting cakes, gateaux or cheese cakes.

Remove all packaging and place food on a microwave safe plate on the low rack.
Please follow hints and tips below.

SLOW COOKING

A choice of two slow cook programs are available;
Slow Cook High - 300W - for the first stage of the slow cooking process.
Slow Cook Low - 100W - for continuing the slow cooking process by gently simmering the food.

This feature is convenient for
busy life styles and is ideal for
cooking soups, casserole and
stews.
Slow Cook Low (100W) may
also be used for keeping food
which is already piping hot
warm.
Do not attempt to slow cook
meals using only Slow Cook Low
(100W), always begin cooking
on Slow Cook High (300W) to
bring food to simmering
temperature and then continue
gently cooking using Slow Cook
Low (100W).

Example: To cook a casserole using slow cooking function

Slow Cook High for 30 minutes, followed by Slow
Cook Low for 8 hours.

Suitable foods for slow cooking;
Liquid dishes e.g casserole and stews containing
cubed meat or chicken joint pieces, soups, rice
puddings. Root vegetables are particularly suitable
for slow cooking - cut into even sized pieces, the
larger the size of the vegetables the longer
cooking time they will require.

Most casserole or soups are best cooked using 2
stage Slow Cooking - generally cook on Slow
Cook High (300W) for the initial 25 - 40 minutes,
then simmer very gently on Slow Cook Low
(100W) for several hours, usually a minimum of
around 4 hours is required.You may stir if you wish
but this is not essential.

Always ensure that the dish is covered by a close
fitting lid to avoid drying out. Always ensure the
dish is recovered after stirring.

Use sufficient liquid. Liquid may include water,
stock, wine, fruit juice, beer or cider. The meat and
vegetables should be immersed in the cooking
liquid for best results and to avoid drying out.

Always use a large enough cooking dish - a large
bowl covered with a microwave proof plate
is ideal, this makes for easier mixing of ingredients
and avoids the possibility of spillage.

Combine thickening agents e.g flour with the meat
at the start of the cooking process or alternatively
mix 1 - 2 tblsps of cornflour to a smooth paste with
a little cold water and stir in 10 - 15 minutes before
the end of cooking.

If adding cream or milk always do so at the end of
cooking. Stir well after cooking.

SLOW COOKING (CONT.)

Advantages of Cooking Casserole / Soups by Slow Cook:

You can start the cooking process early in the day,
then go off to do other things and return to a
cooked meal - there is little chance of the dish
spoiling if your mealtime is a little delayed.

It is not essential to stir due to the gentle heating
involved. (You may stir if you wish, it can only
improve the cooking process).Due to the long,
slow cooking process, tough meat is tenderised
and flavours have time to fully develop.

Convenience and flexibility - meals are ready
when you are - once food is thoroughly cooked
and piping hot it can be kept warm using Slow
Cook Low (100W).

Important Tips for Best Results When Slow Cooking

38

OPERATION

Q. What is wrong when the oven light does not

function?

A. Either:

• The door is not firmly closed.
or:

• The light bulb has burned out.

Q. Why does steam come out of the air exhaust

vent?

A. Steam is normally produced during cooking.

The microwave oven has been designed to
allow this steam to escape.

Q. Can the microwave oven be damaged if it is

operated empty?

A. Yes. Never operate the oven while empty or

without the turntable positioned correctly on
the roller rest.

Q. Why does my oven produce smoke when I use

grill, convection or dual cooking ?

A. Any dirt or grease that builds up on the walls and

roof of the oven will begin to smoke if not
cleaned. Therefore it is vital to wipe out your
oven after cooking.

Q. Instructions for aluminium foil use are confusing.

When should foil be used?

A. It should be used to shield portions of food from

becoming overcooked or over defrosted. Use
small flat pieces of foil for shielding.

Q. Why is standing time recommended after

the cooking operation has been completed?

A. Standing time is very important. With microwave

cooking, the heat is in the food,not in the oven.
Many foods build-up enough internal heat to
allow the cooking process to continue, even after
the food is removed from the oven. Standing
time for joints of meat, large vegetables and
cakes is to allow the inside to cook completely,
without over cooking the outside.

Q. Why do sparks and crackling (arcing) occur in

the oven?

A. There may be several reasons why sparks and

crackling within cavity (arcing) occur.

* A dish with metal parts or trim is being used.

(silver or gold).

* A metal utensil has been left in the oven.
* Too much metal foil is being used.
* A metal twist-tie is present in the oven.

Q. Why does condensation appear in the oven ?
A. This is normal and occurs because the food is

cooking faster than the moisture can be
removed from the oven.

FOODS

Q. Can I check the preset oven temperature

when cooking by convection?

A. Yes, you can check the set temperature by

pressing "Convection" key. The temperature
will then be shown in the display for 2
seconds.

Q. Why are scrambled eggs sometimes a little

dry after cooking?

A. Eggs dry out if they are overcooked. You may

need to vary the cooking time or power level

for one of the following reasons:
* Eggs vary in size.
* The initial temperature of the egg may vary

depending on where it is stored.
* The shape of cooking utensils vary, which

makes it necessary to vary cooking time.
* Eggs continue cooking during standing time.

Q. How are liquids, soups or casserole

prevented from boiling over?

A. Use a larger utensil than usual for cooking. If

you open the oven door or press Clear/Stop,

the food will stop boiling.

Q. Why does the dish become hot when I

microwave food in it?

A. As the food becomes hot it will conduct the

heat into the dish. Use oven gloves to remove

food after cooking.

Q. Does the density of a food affect its cooking

time in the microwave ?

A. Yes. Adense food such as meat will take

longer to cook, reheat or porous, light and airy

food such as bread, puddings and cakes. This

is because microwaves cannot penetrate as

deeply into denser, heavier foods.

CARE AND CLEANING

PROBLEMS

Oven will not start

Arcing or sparking

Unevenly cooked foods

Overcooked foods

Under cooked foods

Improper defrosting

You can often correct operating problems yourself.
If your microwave oven fails to work properly,
Iocate the operating problem in the chart below
and try the solutions marked for each problem.

If the microwave oven still does not work
properly,contact the nearest SANYO SERVICE
DEPARTMENT tel. [phone]

It is important that no liquid food or grease
particles are left in the oven as this ensures
the correct performance of your oven and
reduces the risk of corrosion. After use always
wipe out your oven thoroughly and dry.

INTERIOR OF THE OVEN

It is essential to keep your oven clean at all times.
The oven cavity should be cleaned and wiped dry
after each use. Please ensure that the oven is cool
before cleaning. Wipe out with a mild detergent
solution, paying particular attention to the
microwave outlet cover (see illustration opposite)
and the door seal area. Take particular care not to
allow water to seep through the small holes in the
oven walls. Wipe dry with a soft cloth.
Never use abrasive cleaning materials as these
can damage the oven cavity and door. When
grilling, using convection or dual cooking grease
may splash onto oven walls, if this is not removed
after cooking it can accumulate and cause the oven
to smoke. Such stains are also more difficult to
remove if allowed to become “baked on”.

Do not use any type of oven cleaner on your
microwave oven as this can cause severe
damage.

REMOVABLE PARTS

The glass turntable, roller rest, metal drip tray and
grill racks can be removed for easy cleaning. Wash
in warm soapy water and dry. It is important to clean
the metal drip tray after use to prevent deterioration
of the non-stick surface.

EXTERIOR OF OVEN

Wipe with a damp cloth and wipe dry with a soft
cloth. Do not allow water to seep into vents. Never
use abrasive cleaning materials as these can
damage your oven.

MIRROR DOOR GLASS

Wipe with a damp cloth only. Never use abrasive
cleaning materials as these can damage the
glass.

Microwave Outlet
Cover

POSSIBLE CAUSES

Is power cord plugged in ? Turn or stir food.

Is door closed ? Do not operate when empty.

Cooking time not set. Use correct time / cooking power level.

Use microwave-safe cookware only. Check to see that ventilation ports are

not restricted.

Completely defrost food.
