PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE

TO EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY

(a) Never interfere or tamper with safety interlocks.
(b) Do not place any object between the oven front face and the cloor 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.

(c) When open, the door must not be subjected to strain; for example, a child hanging on the

opened door or any load on it could cause the oven to fall forward, ancl the weight could
also damage the door.

(d) 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:
(1) DOOR (bent)
(2) HINGES AND LATCHES (broken or loosened)
(3) DOOR SEALS AND SEALING SURFACES

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

WARNING _ To reduce the risk of burns, electr~c shock, fire, injury

to persons or exposure to excessive microwave energy:

3.

1. Read all instructions before using,

2. As with most cooking appliances, close
supervision is necessary to reduce the risk of a
fire in the oven cavity.

If a fire should start:

● 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.

Keep in mind the following rules at all times:

Do not overcook food. Overcooked food can
cause fires in the oven. Carefully attend to the
oven’s activities, especially if paper, plastic, or
other combustibles are inside.

Do not store combustible items such as bread,
cookies, paper products, etc. inside the oven.

They may catch fire if turned on accidentally.

Do not use wire twist-ties in the oven. Be sure

to inspect purchased items for wire twist-ties

and remove before placing food in the oven,

Some products such as eggs in the shell, water
with oil or fat, sealed containers and closed
glass jars may explode and therefore should
not be heated in this oven.

4

Use this oven only for its intended uses as
described in the manual. It is not designed for
industrial or laboratory use. Never use
corrosive chemicals or vapours in this oven.

As with any appliance, children should use the

5

oven only under adult supervision.
Do not store or use this appliance outdoors.

6.
Keep the oven away from heat and water

7

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

When heating water or other liquids, use a

8.
wide necked container to allow air bubbles to
escape freely. Using narrow-necked containers
may cause the liquid to boil over. This may
happen even after the cooking has stopped.

It is important to keep the door and the oven

9

interior clean.
(See “ Cleaning” instructions on page 14. )

I WARNING

Do not adjustor repair microwave oven yourself. Do not operate the oven if it is damaged,

(a)

until it has been repaired by a service engineer trained by the manufacturer.
It is dangerous for anyone other than a properly qualified engineer trained by the

(b)

manufacturer to carry out adjustments or repairs.
If the power supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, as a specially

(c)

prepared cord is required.
On no account remove or interfere with any parts or screws.

(d)

THIS COULD PROVE VERY DANGEROUS.

This appliance must be earthed. If there is an
electrical short circuit, earthing reduces the risk of
electric shock by providing an escape wire for the
electric current, This appliance is equipped with a
cord that has a earthing wire with a earthing plug.
The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is

properly installed and earthed.

The electrical power cord must be kept dry and
must not be pinched or crushed in any way,

WARNING - Improper use of the ear-thing
plug can result in electric shock.

The Auto Defrost by Weig ht
feature is an accurate defrosting
method for frozen food up to

2.9 kg. The oven automatically
selects 1 kg. If food weight is
more or less than 1 kg, enter the
weight using the number

Pause Reminder
For the best results, microwave

defrosting requires rearranging
the food about halfway through
the process. A pause reminder

mechanism is built into this

feature to alert you with five

beeps to open the door and

check, separate or turn the food.

The PAUSE indicator also

flashes for five seconds.

If you do not open the door at
the pause reminder, the oven

continues to complete the

defrosting.

This basic microwave cooking

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

microwave power from 9 levels,

1 (107. of total power) to 9
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.

this steam.

Q.

Can the microwave oven be damaged if it
operates empty?
Yes. Never operate while empty or without the

A.

turntable positioned correctly on the roller rest.

When the oven is plugged into a wall outlet for

Q.

the first time, it might not work properly. What

is wrong?

plug it back in. The microcomputer will then
reset for proper functioning.

A.

the oven cavity.

Why is there noise coming from the turntable

A.

and cavity bottom are dirty. Frequent cleaning
of these parts should eliminate or reduce the
noise.

What is wrong when three potatoes bake

Q.

thoroughly and the fourth one is still not

cooked?
The fourth potato may be slightly heavier than

A.

the others and should be cooked 30 to 60
seconds longer. Remember to allow one inch
(2.5 cm) around each potato when baking. For
more even cooking, place potatoes in a circle.

Why do baked apples sometimes burst during

Q.

cooking?
As in regular cooking methods, steam is
