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 close properly and that there is
no damage to the:
(1) DOOR (bent)
(2) HINGES AND LATCHES (broken or loosened)

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
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.
Read all instructions before using.
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:
● 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.
b.
c.
3.
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.

water sources. Exposure to heat
and water can Iowerefficiency and
lead to malfunctioning.
When heating water or other
liquids, use a wide necked
container to allow air bubbles to
escape freely. Using narrownecked containers may cause the
liquid to boil over. This may
happen even after the cooking has
stopped
It is im~ortant to kee~ the door
and the oven interior clean. (See
Cleaning instructions on page 21.)
10. To prevent delayed eruptive

AUTOMATIC DEFROST BY WEIGHT
Automatic Defrost allows you to easily defrost food. Power levels and times
are automatically determined when the food weight is entered.
FINE DEFROST Use for thorough defrosting of larger, dense frozen foods,
when it is important to have the centre section defrosted as well as the outside.
Ideal for items such as roasts, whole chicken and steak.
QUICK DEFROST Use to assist separation of frozen pieces of chicken or fish
that need preparation prior to cooking. Excellent for defrosting ground meat
for use in spaghetti sauce or taco meat.
Example: To thoroughly defrost a 2.5 kg whole chicken:
Press FINE DEFROST.

Defrosting Techniques:
● Remove freezer paper, plastic wrap or foil wrap. Place food in a microwave-safe dish.
● To prevent thin parts and edges from becoming too warm and cooking before
centre of food is defrosted, shield with small pieces of aluminium foil.
● Because some foods will still be icy in the centre, it is necessary to have a standing time
after defrosting the food in the oven. Food should be taken out of the oven to complete
defrosting. A longer standing time might be required for denser foods such as roasts.
● To defrost items not listed in defrosting chart, use Time defrosting (see page 13).
● The FINE DEFROST includes preset standing time.
Note:
● Maximum weight for defrosting is 2.9 kg.
● The oven selects 1 kg if a weight is not entered.
c
Beep tone sounds 5 times during the defrosting cycle to signal that food
should be rearranged
to improve defrosting performance. Open the door and
rearrange the food. The oven continues the defrosting cycle to the end if you
do not open the door.
● Food can be defrosted in a styrofoam package.
● If weight of food is stated in pounds and ounces, it must be converted to
kilograms

CUSTOM PROGRAMS
For food/recipes prepared most often, you can easily custom program your
own sequences or cooking stages
(power levels/cooking times). You can set
3 different custom programs (Cl, C2 and C3). Each program may have
1 -3 cooking stages.
For example, you frequently cook 1 cup long-grain rice. For Stage 1 you use
100’7. power for 5 minutes to bring water to a boil. You then add rice, salt and
butter and for Stage 2 you use 30’% power for 20 minutes to cook rice. To set
these 2 cooking sequences in the first Custom Program (Cl):
Stage 1 for 5 minutes at PIOO (100% power)
Stage 2 for 20 minutes at P30 (30% power)

Q.
A.
Q.
A.
When the oven is plugged into a wall outlet for the first time, it does not
work properly. What is wrong?
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 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
Clean the turntable roller rest cavity bottom. Frequent cleaning of these
parts should eliminate or reduce the noise.
Why is there noise coming from the oven when using a lower power level?
When cooking with power other than PIOO, the oven automatically turns on
and off to obtain lower power output. The clicking noise can be heard when
the oven switches on and off. This is normal.
Why is there steam coming out of the air exhaust vent?
Steam is produced during cooking. The microwave oven has been made to
vent this steam.
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 or START has not been pressed.
Why do eggs sometimes pop?
The egg yolk may pop because of steam build-up Inside
the membrane.
Pierce the membrane with a toothpick before cooking it. Never microwave
eggs in the shell since they may explode.
How are boil-overs avoided?

many days. Wipe splatters 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

powders, steel wool or rough Dads.
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
