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 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 date Iiuuids 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 dro~lets to appear
below the door during the cooking cycle. This is
merely condensation from the heat of the food.

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 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, 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

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

WARNING _ TCIred.ce the risk of bums, 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:

● 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 ~roducts such as ecms in the shell, water

with oi’1or fat, sealed con;a~ners 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
before removing the container.

(a)

(b)

(c)

(d)

(e)

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.
It is dangerous for anyone other than a properly qualified engineer trained by the
manufacturer to carry out adjustments or repairs.

If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a special prepared cord available from
the Manufacturer or its Service Agent.
On no account remove or interfere with any parts or screws.
THIS COULD PROVE VERY DANGEROUS.

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 frozen foods –
automatically. Two defrost
options are available on this
oven.
QUICK DEFROST is used as a
fast or more prompt defrost.

When using QUICK DEFROST,
the frozen food will be defrosted
about 50-60~o.

FINE DEFROST will require

more

time, and the frozen food will be

more thoroughly defrosted. The
same types of foods may be
defrosted using either defrost

key. Press either QUICK

DEFROST key or FINE DEFROST

key. Then enter the weight of the
frozen food, using the number

keypad. Weight may be entered

up to 2.9 kg. The program will
select 1 kg if a weight is not

entered.

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 prompt scrolls in the
display.

If you do not open the door at
the pause reminder, the oven
continues to complete the
defrosting.

For manual defrosting using
Tme Cooking, see page 14.

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 temporari Iy 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?

It should be used to shield portions of food

from becoming overcooked or overdefrosted.

Use small flat pieces of foil for shielding.

(Refer to page 4).

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

build-up inside the membrane. To prevent this,
simply pierce the membrane with a toothpick
before cooking it.

CAUTION: Never microwave eggs in the shell
sincethey 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 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 expands 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 STOPICLEAR.
the food will stop boiling

Why does

the dish become hot when I

microwave food in it?

As the food becomes hot it will conduct the

heat into the dish. Use oven mitts to remove

food after cooking.

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 splatters on the inside
top will be difficult to remove if left for 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 cloth. Once they
are clean, rinse them well and dry with a soft cloth.

Never use cleaning powders, steel wool or rough
pads.

● The turntable maybe removed 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.

SPECIAL CARE

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
STOP/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 fai Is 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 centre.
