5. Critical usage WARNINGS

If the microwave appliance is flooded, please contact your nearest service center. Failing to do so may result in

electric shock or fire.

Read and follow the specific “Precautions to Avoid Possible Exposure to Excessive Microwave Energy” found on

Page 2.

If the microwave generates a strange noise, a burning smell or smoke, unplug it immediately and contact your

nearest service center.

• In the event of a gas leak (propane gas, LP gas, etc.), ventilate the room immediately. Do not touch the microwave, power cord, or plug.

• Do not use a ventilating fan.

• A spark may result in an explosion or fire.

Take care that the door or any of the other parts do not come into contact with your body while cooking or just

after cooking.

• In the event of a grease fire on the surface units below the oven, smother the flaming pan on the surface unit by covering the pan completely with a lid, a cookie sheet or a flat tray.

Never leave surface units beneath your oven unattended at high heat settings. Boil overs cause smoking and

greasy spills that may ignite and spread if the vent fan is operating. To minimize automatic fan operation, use adequate sized cookware. Use high heat on surface units only when necessary.

If materials inside the oven should ignite, 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. If the door is opened, the fire may spread.

• Always observe Safety Precautions when using your oven. Never try to repair the oven on your own. There is dangerous voltage inside. If the oven needs to be repaired, contact an authorized service center near you.

When use grounding adaptor, make sure the receptacle box is fully grounded.

SENSOR OPERATIONS

The Sensor Cook categories are designed to detect the increasing humidity released by the food during the cooking process. The microwave oven sensor will automatically adjust the cooking time to the type and amount of food.

Using Sensor Settings

1. After the oven is plugged in, wait 2 minutes before using Sensor Cook.

2. Be sure the exterior of the cooking container and the interior of the oven are dry. Wipe off any moisture with a dry cloth or paper towel.

3. The oven works with foods at normal storage temperature.

4. More or less food than the quantity listed in the chart should be cooked following the guidelines in any microwave cookbook.

5. Do not open the oven door or press STOP/CLEAR pad until cooking time appears on the display window. The measurement of vapor will be interrupted. If this occurs, an error message "Er01" will appear. To continue cooking, press the STOP/ CLEAR pad and cook manually.

Covering Foods

Some foods work best when covered. Use the cover recommended in the Sensor Cook Chart for these foods.

When the sensor detects the vapor emitted from the

food, the remainder of cooking time will appear.

The door may be opened when remaining cooking

time appears on the display. At this time, you may stir or season food, as desired.

6. Always use microwave-safe containers and cover them with loose fitting lids or vented plastic wrap. Never use tight sealing plastic containers. They will prevent steam from escaping and this will mislead the sensor, usually causing the food to overcook.

7. Check food for temperature or doneness after cooking. If food is not completely cooked, enter additional cooking time manually. Do not use one of the Sensor Cook categories twice in succession on the same food portion. This may result in severely overcooked or burnt food.

3. Wax paper : Cover dish completely; fold excess wrap under dish to secure. If dish is wider than paper, overlap two pieces at least one inch to cover.

1. Casserole lid.

2. Plastic wrap : Use plastic wrap recommended for microwave cooking. Cover dish loosely; allow approximately 1/2 inch to remain uncovered to allow steam to escape. Plastic wrap should not touch food.

BEFORE YOU CALL

Check the following to be sure a service call is necessary:

If noting on the oven operates:

• check for a blown circuit fuse or a tripped main circuit breaker.

• check if oven is properly connected to electric circuit in house.

• check that controls are set properly.

• check that the cooking time is set.

If the oven interior light does not work:

• The LED light may be loose or defective. See page 28 or call a qualified servicer.

If oven will not cook:

• check that control panel was programmed correctly.

• check that door is firmly closed.

• check that START Pad was pressed.

• Auto Start may have been set.

• the Control Lockout may have been set

• check the area between the door and seal for obstructions.

If oven takes longer than normal to cook or cooks too rapidly:

• be sure the Power Level is programmed properly.

• check instructions on food density, etc.

• verify that voltage to the microwave oven is not low.

If the time-of-day clock does not always keep correct time:

• check that the power cord is fully inserted into the outlet receptacle.

• check that the oven is properly grounded.

• try plugging the oven into an outlet on a separate electrical circuit.

If oven floor or glass tray are hot:

• this is normal. The floor is absorbing heat from the food.

If the interior of oven collects moisture:

• this is normal. Food gives off moisture when cooking and the steam collects on the door and the oven surface. Wipe off excess moisture from oven after each use.

If food cooks unevenly:

• refer to your recipe for proper cooking procedures.

• be sure food is evenly shaped.

• be sure food is completely defrosted before cooking.

• check placement of aluminum strips used to prevent overcooking.

If food is undercooked:

• check recipe to be sure all directions (amount, time, and power levels) were correctly followed.

• check household voltage.

• try plugging the oven into an outlet on a separate electrical circuit.

• be sure food was completely defrosted before cooking.

If food is overcooked:

• check recipe to be sure all directions (amount, time, and power levels) were correctly followed.

• the initial temperature of food may have been higher than normal.

If arcing (sparks) occur:

• be sure microwave-safe dishes were used.

• be sure wire twist ties were not used.

• be sure oven was not operated when empty.

If the display shows a time counting down but the oven is not cooking:

• check that door is firmly closed.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

* Q : I accidentally ran my microwave oven without

any food in it. Is it damaged?

* A : Running the oven empty for a short time will not

damage the oven. However, it is not recommended.

* Q : Can the oven be used with the glass tray or

roller guide removed?

* A : No. Both the glass tray and roller guide must

always be used in the oven before cooking.

* Q : Can I open the door when the oven is

operating?

* A : The door can be opened anytime during the

cooking operation. Then microwave energy will be instantly switched off and the time setting will maintain until the door is closed.

* Q : What does "Er01" message mean?

* A : "Er01" means SENSOR ERROR and will appear if

you open the oven door or press STOP/CLEAR pad while cooking times is displayed. To continue cooking, press the STOP/CLEAR pad and cook manually.

* Q : Why do I have moisture in my microwave oven

after cooking?

* A : The moisture on the side of your microwave oven

is normal. It is caused by steam from cooking food hitting the cool oven surface.

* Q : Will the microwave oven be damaged if it

operates while empty?

* A : Yes. Never run it empty.

* Q : Why do eggs sometimes pop?

* A : When baking or poaching eggs, the yolk may pop

due to steam build-up inside the yolk membrane. To prevent this, simply pierce the yolk with a toothpick before cooking. Never cook eggs without piercing their shells.

* Q : What does “standing time” mean?

* A : “Standing time” means that food should be

removed from the oven and covered for additional time to allow it to finish cooking. This frees the oven for other cooking.

* Q : Why does my oven not always cook as fast as

the microwave cooking guide says?

* A : Check your cooking guide again, to make sure

you’ve followed directions exactly ; and to see what might cause variations in cooking time. Cooking guide times and heat settings are suggestions, to help prevent over-cooking... the most common problem in getting used to a microwave oven.

Variations in the size, shape and weights and

dimensions could require longer cooking time. Use your own judgement along with the cooking guide suggestions to check whether the food has been properly cooked just as you would do with a conventional cooker.

* Q : Does microwave energy pass through the

viewing screen in the door?

* A : No. The metal screen bounces back the energy to

the oven cavity. The holes are made to allow light to pass through. They do not let microwave energy pass through.

* Q : Can I operate my microwave oven without the

turntable or turn the turntable over to hold a large dish?

* A : No. If you remove or turn over the turntable, you will

get poor cooking results. Dishes used in your oven must fit on the turntable.

* Q : Is it normal for the turntable to turn in either

direction?

* A : Yes. The turntable rotates clockwise or

counterclockwise, depending on the rotation of the motor when the cooking cycle begins.

* Q : Why is this standing time recommended after

the cooking operation has been completed?

* A : Standing time is very important.

With microwave cooking, the heat is in the food,

not in the oven. Many foods build up enough internal heat to allow the cooking process to continue, even after the food is removed from the oven. Standing time for joints of meat, large vegetables and cakes is to allow the inside to cook completely, without overcooking the outside.

* Q : Can I pop popcorn in my microwave oven?

How do I get the best results?

* A : Yes. Pop packaged microwave popcorn following

manufacture’s guidelines. Do not use regular paper bags. Use the “listening test” by stopping the oven as soon as the popping slows to a “pop” every 1 or 2 seconds. Do not repop unpopped kernels. Do not pop popcorn in glass cookware.

COOKING INSTRUCTIONS

Food

Never use your microwave oven for home canning. The oven is not designed for proper home canning. Improperly canned food may spoil and be dangerous to consume. Always use the minimum recipe cooking time. It is better to undercook rather than overcook foods. Undercooked foods can be returned to the oven for more cooking. If food is overcooked, nothing can be done. Heat small quantities of food or foods with low moisture carefully. These can quickly dry out, burn or catch on fire. Do not heat eggs in the shell. Pressure may build up and eggs can explode. Potatoes, apples, egg yolks and sausages are examples of food with non-porous skins. These must be pierced before cooking to prevent bursting.

This can damage the oven.

Do not attempt to deep fat fry in your microwave oven. Always allow a standing time of at least 20 seconds after the oven has been switched off to allow the temperature to even out, stir during heating, if necessary, and ALWAYS stir after heating. To prevent eruptive boiling and possible scalding, you should put a spoon or glass stick into the beverages and stir before, during and after heating. Do not leave the oven unattended while popping corn. Do not pop corn in a paper bag unless it is the commercially prepared Microwave Popcorn product. The kernels can overheat and ignite a brown paper bag. Do not exceed the Microwave Popcorn manufacturers suggested popping time. Longer popping does not yield more popcorn but it can result in scorch, burn of fire. Remember, the Popcorn bag and tray can be too hot to handle. Remove with caution and use pot holders.

ARCING

If you see arcing, open the door and correct the problem.

Arcing is the microwave term for sparks in the oven. Arcing is caused by:

• Metal or foil touching the side of the oven.

• Foil not molded to food (upturned edges act like antennas).

• Metal, such as twist-ties, poultry pins, or gold rimmed dishes, in the microwave.

• Recycled paper towels containing small metal pieces being used in the microwave.

• Dirt or grease on waveguide cover.

COOKING INSTRUCTIONS

MICROWAVING PRINCIPLES

Microwave energy has been used in this country to cook and reheat food since early experiments with RADAR in World War ll. Microwaves are present in the atmosphere all the time, both naturally and manmade sources. Manmade sources include radar, radio, television, telecommunication links and car phones.

HOW MICROWAVES COOK FOOD

Oven Cavity

Turntable

REFLECTION

Magnetron

Waveguide

In a microwave oven, electricity is converted into microwave by the MAGNETRON.

The microwaves bounce off the metal walls and the metal door screen.

TRANSMISSION

Then they pass through the cooking containers to be absorbed by the water molecules in the food, all foods contain water to a more or lesser extent.

ABSORPTION

Microwave Water Molecule Absorption Vibration

The microwaves cause the water molecules to vibrate which causes FRICTION, i.e. HEAT. This heat then cooks the food. Microwaves are also attracted to fat and sugar particles, and foods high in these will cook more quickly. Microwaves can only penetrate to a depth of 1½

- 2 inches(4-5cm) and as heat spreads through the food

by conduction, just as in a traditional oven, the food cooks from the outside inwards.

COOKING INSTRUCTIONS

COOKING TECHNIQUES

STANDING TIME

Dense foods e.g. meat, jacket potatoes and cakes, require standing time(inside or outside of the oven) after cooking, to allow heat to finish conducting to cook the center completely. Wrap meat joints and jacket potatoes in aluminium foil while standing. Meat joints need approx. 10-15 minutes, jacket potatoes 5 minutes. Other foods such as plated meal, vegetables, fish etc require 2-5 minutes standing. After defrosting food, standing time should also be allowed. If food is not cooked after standing time, return to the oven and cook for additional time.

MOISTURE CONTENT

Many fresh foods e.g. vegetables and fruit, vary in their moisture content throughout the season, particularly jacket potatoes. For this reason cooking times may have to be adjusted. Dry ingredients e.g. rice, pasta, can dry out during storage so cooking times may differ.

DENSITY

Porous airy foods heat more quickly than dense heavy foods.

STARTING TEMPERATURE

The colder the food, the longer it takes to heat up. Food from a fridge takes longer to reheat than food at room temperature.

LIQUIDS

All liquids must be stirred before and during heating. Water especially must be stirred before and during heating, to avoid eruption. Do not heat liquids that have previously been boiled. DO NOT OVERHEAT.

TURNING & STIRRING

Some foods require stirring during cooking. Meat and poultry should be turned after half the cooking time.

ARRANGING

Individual foods e.g. chicken portions or chops, should be placed on a dish so that the thicker parts are towards the outside.

QUANTITY

Small quantities cook faster than large quantities, also small meals will reheat more quickly than large portions.

CLING FILM

Cling film helps keep the food moist and the trapped steam assists in speeding up cooking times. Pierce before cooking to allow excess steam to escape. Always take care when removing cling film from a dish as the build-up of steam will be very hot.

SHAPE

Even shapes cook evenly. Food cooks better by microwave when in a round container rather than square.

SPACING

Foods cook more quickly and evenly if spaced apart. NEVER pile foods on top of each other.

PIERCING

The skin or membrane on some foods will cause steam to build up during cooking. These foods must be pierced or a strip of skin should be peeled off before cooking to allow the steam to escape. Eggs, potatoes, apples, sausages etc, will all need to be pierced before cooking. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO BOIL EGGS IN THEIR SHELLS.

COVERING

Cover foods with microwave cling film or a lid. Cover fish, vegetables, casseroles, soups. Do not cover cakes, sauces, jacket potatoes or pastry items.

COOKING INSTRUCTIONS

DEFROSTING GUIDE

▶ Do not defrost covered meat. Covering might allow

cooking to take place. Always remove outer wrap and tray. Use only containers that are microwave-safe.

▶ Begin defrosting whole poultry breast-side-down.

Begin defrosting roasts fat-side-down.

▶ The shape of the package alters the defrosting time.

Shallow rectangular shapes defrost more quickly than a deep block.

▶ After 1/3 of the defrost time has elapsed, check the

food. Toy may wish to turn over, break apart, rearrange or remove thawed portions of the food.

▶ During defrost, the oven will prompt you to turn the

over. At this point, open oven door and check the food. Follow the techniques listed below for optimum defrost results.

Then, close oven door, press the START pad to

complete defrosting.

▶ When defrosted, food should be cool, but softened in

all areas. If still slightly icy, return to microwave oven very briefly, or let stand a few minutes. After defrosting, allow food to stand 5-60 minutes if there are any icy areas.

Poultry and fish may be placed under running cool

water until defrosted

➪ Turn over : Roast, ribs, whole poultry, turkey breasts,

hot dogs, sausages, steaks, or chops.

➪ Rearrange : Break apart or separate steaks, chops,

hamburger patties, ground meat, chicken or seafood pieces, chunks of meat such as stew beef.

➪ Shield : Use small strips of aluminum foil to protect

thin areas or edges of unevenly shaped foods such as chicken wings. To prevent arcing, do not allow foil to come within 1-inch of oven walls or door.

➪ Remove : To prevent cooking, thawed portions

should be removed from the oven at this point. This may shorten defrost time for food weighing less than 3 lbs.(1350g).
