PRECAUTIOiW TO AVOID

PCISSIBLE EXPOSURE

TO EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY

Never interfere or tamper with safety interlocks.
Do not place any object between the oven front fnce and the door or allow soil or cleaner

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.
When open, the door must not be subjected to strain; for example, a child han~]ing on the
opened door or any load on it could cause the oven to fall forward, and the weight COLIIC1

also damage the door.

Do not operate the oven if it is damaged. It is particularly important that the oven door
closes properly and that there is no damage to the:

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions
should be followed, including the following:

wARNING -

To reduce the risk of burns, electric shock, fire, injury
to persons or exposure to excessive microwave energy:

1.2.Rcacf all instructions before using.

As with most cooking appliances, close
s[]pervision is neces~ary”to reduce the risk of a

fire in Ihe oven cavity.

If a {ire si~ould start:

* Keep lIw oven door closed
* T~lrn the oven off, and

e Disconnect the power cord or shut off power at

the fuse or circuit breaker panel.

::~~I(eep in mind the following rules at all times:

‘,,,

a. Do no~ overcook food. Overcookccl food can

cause fires in the oven. Carefully attend to the

oven’s activities, especially if paper, plastic, or
other combustibles are inside.

b. Do not store combustible items such as bread,

cookies, paper products, etc. inside the oven.
They may catch fire if turned on accidentally.

c. Do I1O1use wire twist-ties in the oven. Be sure

[o inspect purchased items for wire twist-ties
and remove before placing food in the oven.

3. Some products such as eggs in the shell, water
with oil or fat, scaled containers and closed
glass jars may explode and therefore should

not be heated in this oven.

4. Usc this oven only for its intcnclccl uses as
described in the manual, It is not designed for

industrial or laboratory use. Never use
corrosive chemicals or vapours in this oven.

5. As with any appliance, children should use the

oven only under adult supervision.

6. Do not store or use this appliance outdoors.

7. Keep the oven away from heat and water

sources. Exposure to heat and water can Iowcr
efficiency and lead to malfunctioning.

8. When heating water or other liquids, use a

wide necked container to allow air bubbles to
escape freely. Using narrow-necked containers
may cause the liquid to boil over. This Imay
happen even after the cooking has stopped.

9. It is imporlant to keep the door and the oven
interior clean.
(See “ Cleaning

“ instructions on page 14.)

WARNING

(a) Do not adjustor 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 daimaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, as a specially

prepared cord is required.

(d) On no account remove or interfere with any parts or screws.

THIS COULD PROVE VERY DANGEROUS.

This basic microwave cooking

method allows you to cook food
for a desired time. In addition to
the HI (maximum) power level,

yOLI can select different

microwave power from 9 levels,

1 (10% of total power) to 9 (90’%0
power) for the foods that require
slower cooking. The oven also
provides power level O (no
power) so that the clock can be
utilized as a minute timer.

See page 12 for details.

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.

To check the power level during

cooking, touch POWER LEVEL.
The power level appears in the
display window.

Manual Defrosting

For manual defrosting (without

using Auto Defrost features), use

power level 3. To speed up the
defrosting of dense foods over
450 g, you may start on HI for 3
minutes, then reduce to the
level 3.

What is wrong when the oven light will not

glow?
There may be several reasons why the ove;~

light will not glow.
The light bulb has- burned out.
START has not been touched.

Why is steam coming out of the air exhaust

vent?

Steam is normally produced during cooking.

The microwave oven has been made to vent

this steam.

Can the microwave oven be damaged if it

operates empty?
Yes. Never operate while empty or without the
turntable positioned correctly on the roller rest.

When the oven is plugged into a wall outlet for.
the first time, it might not work properly. What

is wrong?

When the oven is plugged in for the first time

or when power resumes after a power

interruption, the microcomputer used in the
oven control may temporarily become
scrambled and fail to function as programmed.

Unplug the oven from the wall outlet ond then

plug it back in. The microcomputer will then

reset for proper functioning.

Why do I see light reflection around the outer
case?
This light is from the oven light located outside
the oven cavity.

Why is there noise coming from the turntable
when the oven is turned on?
This noise occurs ~hen the turntable roller rest

and cavity bottom are dirty. Frequent cleaning

of these parts should eliminate or reduce the

noise.

Instructions for aluminium foil use arc

confusing. When should I use foil?

It should be used to shield portions of food

from becoming overcooked or overdefrosted.

Use small flat pieces of foil for shielding.

(Refer to page 7).

What is wrong when baked foocls have a harci,
dry, brown spot?
This is caused by overcooking. Shorten
cooking or reheating time.

Why do eggs sometimes pop?
The egg yolk may pop because of steam
build-up inside the membrane. To prevent this,
simply pierce the membrane with a toothpick
before cooking it.

CAUTION: Never micro wave eggs in the shell
since they may explode.

Why are scrambled eggs sometimes a little dry
after cooking?
Eggs dry out if they are overcooked. You may
need to vary the cooking time for one of these
reasons:
Eggs vary in size.
Eggs are at room temperature one time and at
refrigerator temperature another time.
The shapes of utensils vary, which makes it
necessary to vary cooking time.
Eggs continue cooking during standing timu.

What is wrong when three potatoes bake
thoroughly and the fourth one is still not
cooked?
The fourth potato may be slightly heavier than
the others and should be cooked 30 to 60
seconds longer. Remember to allow one inr;h
(2.5 cm) around each potato when baking. For
more even cooking, place potatoes in a circle.

Why do baked apples sometimes burst during
cooking?
As in regular cooking methods, steam is
formed in the interior of the apple, causing it to
swell and expand during the cooking process.

How are boil-overs avoided?
Use a larger utensil than usual for cooking. If
you open the oven door or touch STOP/CLEAR,
the food will stop boiling.

Why does the dish become hot when I
microwave food in it?
As the food becomes hot it will conduct the
heat into the dish. Use oven mitts to remove
food after cooking.

Wipe the oven inside and outside with a soft cloth

and a mild detergent solution. Then rinse and wipe
dry. This should be done on a weekly basis –
more often if needed. Never use cleaning powders
or rough pads. Excessive oil splatters on the

inside top will be difficult to remove if left for

many

days. Wipe spatters with a wet paper towel,

especially after cooking chicken or bacon.

REMOVABLE PARTS
The following parts may be removed as described.
They should be washed in warm (not hot) water
with a mild detergent and a soft cloth. Once they

arc clean, rinse them WCII and

dry with a soft cloth

Never use cleaning powders, steel wool or rough

pack.

. The turntable may be cleaned at the sink. Be

careful not to chip or scratch the edges as this

may cause the turntable to break during use.

● The turntable roller rest should be cleaned

regularly.

SPECIAL CARE
For best performance and safety, the inner cloor
panel and the oven front frame should be free of
food or grease buildup. Wipe them often with a
mild detergent. Then rinse and wipe dry. Never
use cleaning powcjcrs or rough pads.

After cleaning the control panel, (ouch
STOP/CLEAR to clear any entries that might have
been entered accidentally while cleaning the panel.
