Care Of Your Microwave Oven

Questions and Answers 17 Care and Cleaning 18 Before Calling For Service 18 Warranty 19

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.

SPECIFICATIONS OTHER IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

HOW TO USE YOUR OVEN SAFELY

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.

ALTHOUGH YOUR OVEN IS PROVIDED WITH SAFETY FEATURES, IT IS IMPORTANT TO OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:

Power Source 230 V Maximum Output Power 900 W* Oven Capacity 0.8 cu. ft. (23L) External Dimensions (W x D x H) 508 x 395 x 305 Net Weight 15.6 Kg MAFF Rating 900 / E *According to IEC 705 test procedures.

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 in the oven cavity.

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:

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 “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 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 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 manufacturer.

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

manufacturer to carry out adjustments or repairs.

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.

PLEASE SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

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 screw-driver 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 greenand-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.

INSTALLATION OVEN PARTS AND ACCESSORIES

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 20cm is required above the oven, 10cm at the back and 5cm to each side of the oven.

4. Some interference may occur if it is placed too close to a radio or TV, so keep them as far apart as possible.
