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 door or allow soil or cleaner

residue to accumulate on sealing surfaces. Wipe the door sealing area frequently with a
mild detergent, rise 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, and 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

●

●

●

●

●

●

●

●

●

The oven must be level.
The turntable and turntable roller rest must be

in the oven during cooking.

Place the cookware gently on the turntable and
handle it carefully to avoid possible breakage.

The oven has several built-in safety switches
to ensure that the power remains off when the

door is open. Do not tamper with these
switches.

Do not operate the microwave

oven when

empty.

Do not overcook food. A small quantity of food
with low moisture content or high fat or sugar
content can burn.

Do not cook bacon directly on the turntable.

Excessive local heating of the turntable may
cause it to break.

When heating food in plastic or paper
containers, check the oven frequently due to
the possibility of cause fires in the oven.

Do not place liquids or other foods with sealed
containers in the microwave oven, it may ‘
explode.

●

●

●

●

●

Avoid heating baby bottles or baby food jars.
Transfer the food into a suitable container for
the microwave oven. The food temperature
should be tested before giving it to the baby.

Do not heat narrow-necked containers, such as
syrup bottles.

Do not attempt to deep-fry in your microwave
oven as the temperature of oil cannot be
controlled.

Do not heat cans. Transfer the contents into a
microwave-safe dish before heating.

Do not use this microwave oven for

commercial purposes. This microwave oven is

made for household use only.

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.

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. 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 or smoke is observed:

9 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:

a. 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.

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 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.

3. 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.

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 vapors in this oven.

As with any appliance, children should use the
oven only under adult supervision.

Do not store or use this appliance outdoors.

Keep the oven away from heat and water
sources. Exposure to heat and water can lower
efficiency and lead to malfunctioning.

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 may
happen even after the cooking has stopped.

It is important to keep the door and the oven
interior clean. (See Cleaning instructions on
page 16.)

To prevent delayed eruptive boiling of hot

liquids and beverages or scalding, stir liquid
before placing the container in the oven and

again halfway through cooking time. Let stand

in the oven for a short time and stir again.

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 cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a special prepared cord available

from the Manufacturer or its Service Agent.

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

THIS COULD PROVE VERY DANGEROUS.

(e) Before use, the user should check that utensils are suitable for use in microwave ovens.

The Auto Defrost by Weight

feature allows precise, even

defrosting of any frozen foods.
The oven automatically
determines the defrosting time
and power level depending on

the food weight you enter.

The feature provides two options:

Fine Defrost provides the most
thorough defrosting of frozen
foods. This defrost is ideal for

larger, dense frozen foods such as

roast, whole chicken and chicken

pieces.

Quick Defrost gives you faster

results when uniformity is less

important. This defrost option is

excellent for thawing items such

as frozen ground meat for use in

spaghetti sauce or for taco meat.

The maximum weight you can

enter is 2.9 kg. If you do not enter

a weight, the oven automatically

selects 1 kg.

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
thedefrosting.

● Only one digit can be entered after a decimal point. If in doubt,

convert to the lower number.

Defrosting Tips:

● Check the food during defrosting.

● Remove frozen food from its original paper or plastic wrap. When it

is difficult to remove the wrap, defrost the food in the wrap until the
Pause. At the Pause, remove the wrap.

● Place foods in a flat microwave-safe baking dish or roasting rack to

catch drippings.

● Food should still be somewhat icy in the centre when removed

from the oven.

● The FINE DEFROST menu includes standing time.

● Food can be defrosted in a styrofoam package.

What is wrong when the oven light will not

glow?

There may be several reasons why the oven

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 and 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 when 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 are

confusing. When should I use foil?

k should be used to shield portions of food

from becoming overcooked or overdefrosted.

Use small flat pieces of foil for shielding.

What is wrong when baked foods have a hard,
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 build­up inside the membrane. To prevent this,
simply pierce the membrane with a toothpick
before cooking it.

CAUTION: Never microwave 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 time.

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 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
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 STOPI
CLEAR,the food will stop boiling.

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

15

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 spatters on the inside
top will be difficult to remove if Ieftfor 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 ctoth. Once they
areclean, rinse them well and dry with a soft cloth.
Never use cleaning powders, steel wool or rough
pads.

● 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.

SPECIALCARE

For best performance and safety, the inner door
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 powders or rough pads.

After cleaning the control panel, touch STOPI
CLEAR to clear any entries that might

have been

entered accidentally while cleaning the panel.

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 the nearest authorized service center.
