MICROWAVE OVEN

Dear Buyer! We congratulate you on having bought the device under trade name “Saturn”. We are sure that our devices will become faithful and reliable assistance in your housekeeping.

Please read this booklet carefully before fixing and using, and keep it for future reference.

OPERATION THEORY OF MICROWAVE OVEN

1. Microwave is a kind of high frequency electromagnetic wave, which is commonly distributed in the nature. But the existing form of microwave is dispersed so that it cannot be collected together for heating purpose. The key component of magnetron of microwave oven will transform the energy of electricity to microwave and huge energy of microwave field is established under the closed cavity. So the molecule of food is caused to vibrate at very high speed and the friction heat produced will cook the food in a fast way.

2. There are 3 properties of microwave: a) Absorbability: the microwave can cause the excess vibration of molecule of various food so as to obtain the heating purpose. But the infiltration ability is largely depends on the size, thickness and properties of the food. b) Penetrability: microwave can penetrate through ceramics, glass, temperatureresistant plastics. It is required to use the containers whose material have good microwave penetrability to achieve best heating result. Please, see the below utensils guide. c) Reflectivity: microwave would be reflected by the metal wall of interior cavity so as to establish an even magnetic field, thus can prevent the overheating of partial area.

INSTALLATION OF MICROWAVE OVEN

1) To ensure sufficient ventilation, the distance of the back of microwave to the wall should be at least 10 cm, the side to the wall should be at least 5cm, the free distance above the top surface at least 20 cm.

2) The appliance should be operated with the rear side placed against a wall.

3) Do not place any objects on the top of microwave oven.

4) The position of the oven shall be such that it is far from the TV, radio or antenna as picture disturbance or noise may occur.

5) The appliance must be positioned so that the plug is accessible.

6) The microwave oven is intended to be used freestanding and shall not be placed in a cabinet.

7) To keep the microwave oven at a distance from the wall, it is necessary to install a

distance limiter.

1. Read all instructions before using.

2. Make sure the voltage in your living area corresponding to the one shown on the rating label of the appliance. And the wall socket is properly grounded.

3. To reduce the risk of fire in the oven cavity:

a. Do not overcook the food. b. Remove wire twist-ties from paper or plastic bags before placing bags in the oven. c. Do not heat oil or fat for deep drying as the temperature of oil cannot be controlled. d. After use wipe the waveguide cover with a damp cloth, followed by dry cloth to remove any food splashes and grease. Built-up grease may overheat and begin to cause smoke or catch fire. e. If materials inside the oven should smoke or ignite, keep oven door closed, turn oven off and disconnect the power supply.

f. Close supervision is necessary when using disposable containers made from plastic, paper or other combustible material.

4. To reduce the risk of explosion and sudden boiling: a. Do not place sealed containers in the oven. Baby bottles fitted with a screw cap or teat are considered to be sealed containers. b. When boiling liquid in the oven, use the wide-mouthed container and stand about 20 seconds at the end of cooking to avoid delayed eruptive boiling of liquids. c. Potatoes, sausage and chestnut should be peeled or pierced before cooking. Eggs in their shell, whole hard-boiled eggs should not be heated in microwave ovens since they may explode, even after microwave heating has ended. d. The cooked liquid should not be removed out immediately. Several moments should be waited before removing In order to avoid possible hazards caused by delayed eruptive boiling of liquids. e. The contents of feeding bottles and baby food jars are to be stirred or shaken and the temperature is to be checked before consumption, in order to avoid burns.

5. Never operate the oven further if the door or door seals are damaged or the oven is malfunctioned or supply cord is damaged. Return the appliance to the nearest authorized service center for repair and maintenance. Never try to adjust or repair the oven yourself.

6. If the supply cord is damaged it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its service agent or a qualified technician in order to avoid a shock hazard.

7. After cooking, the container is very hot. Using gloves to take out the food and avoid steam burns by directing steam away from the face and hands.

8. Slowly lift the furthest edge of dishes cover and microwave plastic wrap and carefully open popcorn and oven cooking bags away from the face.

9. To prevent the turntable from breaking: a. Let the turntable cool down before cleaning. b. Do not place hot foods or utensils on the cold turntable. c. Do not place frozen foods or utensils on the hot turntable.

Cooking Tips

1) Arrange food carefully, place thickest areas toward outside of dish.

2) Watch cooking time, cook for the shortest amount of time indicated and add more time as needed.

3) Cover foods before cooking check recipe for suggestions: paper towels, microwave plastic wrap or a lid. Covers prevent spattering and help foods to cook evenly. (Helps keep oven clean).

4) Shield foods Use small pieces of aluminum foil to cover thin areas of meats or poultry to avoid overcooking.

5) Stir foods From outside to center of dish once or twice during cooking, if possible.

6) Turn foods Foods such as chicken, hamburgers or steaks should be turned over once during cooking.

7) Rearrange foods Like meatballs halfway through cooking both from top to bottom and from the center of the dish to the outside.

8) Allow standing time Heated liquid or beverage may result in delayed eruptive boiling. After cooking ensure adequate standing time. Remove food from oven and stir if possible. Cover for standing time which allows the food to finish cooking without overcooking.

9) Check for doneness Look for signs indicating that cooking temperature has been reached. Doneness signs include:

-Food steams throughout, not just at edge.

-Poultry thigh joints move easily.

-Pork and poultry show no pinkness..

-Fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.

10) Condensation A normal part of microwave cooking. The humidity and moisture in food will influence the amount of moisture in the oven. Generally, covered foods will not cause as much condensation as uncovered foods. Ensure that the ventilation openings are not blocked.

11) Browning dish When using a browning dish or self-heating material, always place a heat-resistant insulator such as a porcelain plate under it to prevent damage to the turntable, rotating ring due to heat stress. The preheating time specified in the dishes instructions must not be exceeded.

12) Microwave safe plastic wrap for cooking food with high fat content, do not bring the wrap in contact with the food as it may melt.

13) Microwave safe plastic cookware
