HOW TO USE YOUR OVEN SAFELY

1. When boiling water or other liquids be sure to

use a wide 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 effect 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 FOLLING:
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 app aren t, do not opera te 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 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. As with most cooking appliances, close

supervision is necessary to reduce the risk of
a fire n the oven cavity.

If a fire should start:

• Keep the oven door closed.

• Turn the oven off.

• Disconnect the power cord of shut off the

power at the mains.

Other important safety points to remember are:

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 of food for babies should be heated on

“MEDIUM”. 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 hit

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 the glass tray

WARNING

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

(b) It is dangerous for anyone other than a properly qualified engineer trained by the manufacture 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.

(e) The appliance is not intended for use by young children or infirm persons without supervision.

(f) Young children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

14

REHEATING TIPS

1. Foods with plenty of liquid such as casserole or

soups can safely be reheated on FULL power.
More delicate foods such as vegetables,
puddings, and pies are best reheated more
gently on MEDIUM power.

2. Take care when reheating pies or pasties with

meat of fruit filling as the filling can become
very hot very quickly.

3. Stir foods whenever possible to ensure even

reheating.

4. To retain moisture always cover food where

possible.

5. The food manufacturers cooking tine should be

used as a guide only. If when the stated cooking
time has expired, the food isn’t piping hot,

return it to the oven and cook it unit it is in
much the same manner as you would when
cooking with a conventional oven.

6. Standing time is very important, it is part of the

cooking process and ensures an even
temperature throughout the food.

7. Plated meals should be reheated with the dense

food, e.g meat and potatoes, around the outside
edge of the plate. Less dense foods such as
green vegetables should be arranged towards
the centre of the plate. For plated meals with
gravy or sauce, heat the gravy separately and
pour over the reheated meal. This will give a
fresher appearance.

DEFROSTING TIPS

1. It is better to underestimate defrosting times if

you are unsure. Food will continue to defrost
during the standing time.

2. Separate food as soon as possible.

3. Turn large items, e.g joints, over halfway

through the defrosting time.

4. Remove any thawed food as soon as possible.

5. Remove or open any packaging before

defrosting.

6. Place food in a larger container than that which

it was frozen in, this will allow or easy stirring.

7. Begin thawing poultry, breast side down and

turn over halfway through defrosting time.
Delicate areas such as wing tips can be shielded
with small pieces of smooth foil.

8. Standing time is very important, particularly or

large, dense foods which cannot be stirred to
ensure that the centre is completely defrosted
before cooking

MEAT / POULTRY COOKING TIPS

General Guidelines
IMPORTANT: Raise the meat / poultry by
placing it on a grill rack over a plate to catch any
juices or on a upturned saucer on a plate. Always
remove any juices halfway through cooking time.

• Roasting joints / whole poultry; Place joint /

poultry on the rack on a large micro and
heatproof plate, or on a upturned saucer on a
plate. (This allows the juices to drain away).
Brush with a little oil or melted butter. Cook as
detailed below. Turnover during cooking time

and remove juices. After cooking allow joints /
poultry to stand for at least 15 minutes.

• Grilling smaller cuts of meat; Prime, tender

cuts are recommended for best results. Less
tender cuts should be marinated of tenderised
first. Chops or steaks can be cooked on the grill
rack. Place a micro and heatproof dish on the
turntable to catch any liquid. Cook using grill /
microwave operation as detailed below. Brush
with a little oil and seasoning before cooking.
Turnover halfway through cooking and remove
juices.

15

FISH COOKING TIPS

General Guidelines

• Fish which would usually be poached, baked or

steamed is particularly good when cooked by
microwave. The full flavour is retained and
cooking smells are reducted.

• Fish may be poached in wine, stock or milk

which can then be used to make a sauce.

• All types of fresh fish (except battered or

breadcrumbed fish) can be microwaved whether
whole, fillets or steaks.

• Always cook fish covered to retain moisture.

• Fish cooks quickly by microwave, so take care

not to overcook.

• Add a little lemon juice, white wine or butter to

fish to enhance flavour.

• Fish should stand for 2-3 minutes after cooking.

Fish is cooked when it becomes opaque and
flakes easily.

VEGETABLE COOKING TIPS

General Guidelines

• Place the prepared vegetables in a microwave

proof dish with 5-6 tblsps of water. Froze n
vegetables may be cooked without any added
water if preferred.

• Always cover the dish

• For best results cut vegetables into similar sized

pieces.

• All fresh of frozen vegetables should be cooked

on FULL power.

• Halfway through cooking stir or rearrange the

vegetables.

• After cooking allow vegetables to stand,

covered for 2-3 minutes before serving.

PASTA & RICE COOKING TIPS

General Guidelines

• Use a large microwave proof bowl e.g. a large

pyrex bowl.

• Add 3-4 tsps of vegetable oil to the pasta to

prevent sticking.

• Using boiling water to minimise cooking times.

• Always ensure that the pasta or rice is covered

by the water.

• Stir pasta twice during cooking to prevent

sticking. It is not necessary to stir rice.

• Stand 3-5 minutes after cooking. Drain and

serve. Rice may be rinsed with boiling water if
preferred.

• Remember that brown rice requires a longer

cooking time than white rice.

16

USEFUL MICROWAVE TIPS

1. Soften Honey, If you have a jar of honey which

has crystallised, remove lid, and place the jar in
the oven, microwave on LOW power for 2
minutes.

2. Soften or Melt Butter, Melting takes a few

seconds on FULL power. Softening is better
done more gently on LOW power.

3. Freshen or Warm Bread, Use LOW power for

a few seconds.

4. Easy Peeling Garlic, Heat 3 or 4 cloves of

garlic on FULL power for 15-20 seconds.
Squeeze at one end until the clove pops out.

5. More Juice From Oranges or Lemons, Citrus

fruits will yield more juice if they are heated on

FULL power or 15-20 seconds before
squeezing.

6. Cook Porridge, Porridge is easily cooked in

the serving dish leaving no sticky pan to wash.

7. To recrisp biscuits or crackers (without

filling), Place them in a dish lined with

absorbent kitchen paper, microwave on FULL
for 15-30 seconds.

8. To remove Oven Odours. Add the juice of

half a lemon to a pint of water in large bowl.
Heat on FULL for 4-5 minutes then wipe out
the oven.

QUESTION & ANSWERS

OPERATION FOODS

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 not 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 noise sometimes come from the

turntable when the oven is turned on?

A. This noise occurs when the turntable roller rest and

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

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 overdefrosted. Use small
flat pieces of foil or 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 overcooking the
outside.

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

the oven?

A. There may be several reasons why sparks and

cracking within the 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.
* 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.

Q. Why do eggs sometimes pop?
A. The egg yolk may pop because of a build-up of

steam inside the membrane. To prevent this, pierce
the membrane before cooking it.

CAUTION: Eggs in their shell and whole hard

boiled eggs should not be heated in microwave
ovens since they may explode even after microwave
heating has ended.

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 for one of the following

reasons:
* Eggs vary in size.
* The initial temperature of the eggs 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. Why do baked apples sometimes burst during

cooking?

A. The peel has not been removed from the top half of

each apple to allow for expansion of the interior of

the apple during cooking. As in regular cooking

methods, the interior of the apple expands during the

cooking process.

Q. How are liquids prevented from boiling over?
A. Use a larger utensil than usual or cooking. If you

open the oven door or press 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. A dense 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.

18

CARE AND CLEANING

BEFORE CALLING SERVICE

You can often correct operating problems yourself,
If your microwave oven fails to work properly,
locate 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 your nearest SANYO SERVICE CENTRE.

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 and dry
thoroughly.

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. 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.

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

REMOVABLE PARTS
The glass turntable and roller rest can be removed
for easy cleaning. Wash in warm soapy water and
dry.
EXTERIOR OF OVEN
Wipe with a damp cloth. Do not allow water to
seep into vents. Never use abrasive cleaning
materials as these can damage your oven.
