should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

(g) WARNING : Only allow children to use the oven without supervision when adequate instructions have been

given so that the child is able to use the oven in a safe way and understands the hazards of improper use.

(h) WARNING : When the appliance is operated in the combination mode, children should only use the oven

under adult supervision due to the temperature generated. (if provided)

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

READ CAREFULLY AND KEEP FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.

WARNING : To prevent fire, burns, electric shock and other warnings: Listed below are, as with all appliances, certain rules to follow and safeguards to assure high

performance from this oven:

1. Do not use the oven for any reason other than food preparation, such as for drying clothes, paper, or any other nonfood items or for sterilizing purposes.

2. Do not use the oven when empty, this could damage the oven.

3. Do not use the oven cavity for any type of storage, such as papers, cookbook, cookware, etc.

4. Do not operate the oven without the glass tray in place. Be sure it is properly sitting on the rotating base.

5. Make sure you remove caps or lids prior to cooking when you cook food sealed in bottles.

6. Do not put foreign material between the oven surface and door. It could result in excessive leakage of microwave energy.

7. Do not use recycled paper products for cooking. They may contain impurities which could cause sparks and/or fires when used during cooking.

8. Do not pop popcorn unless popped in a microwave approved popcorn popper or unless it's commercially packaged and recommended especially for microwave ovens. Microwave popped corn produces a lower yield than conventional popping; there will be a number of unpopped kernels. Do not use oil unless specified by the manufacturer.

9. Do not cook any food surrounded by a membrane, such as egg yolks, potatoes, chicken livers, etc., without first piercing them several times with a fork.

10. Do not pop popcorn longer than the manufacturer's directions. (popping time is generally below 3 minutes). Longer cooking does not yield more popped corn, it can cause scorchings and fire.

Also, the cooking tray can become too hot to handle or may break.

11. If smoke is observed, switch off or unplug the

appliance and keep the door closed in order to stifle any flames.

12. When heating food in plastic or paper containers,

keep an eye on the oven due to the possibility of ignition.

13. The contents of feeding bottles and baby food jars shall be stirred or shaken and the temperature checked before consumption, in order to avoid burns.

14. Always test the temperature of food or drink which has been heated in a microwave oven before you give it to somebody, especially to children or elderly people. This is important because things which have been heated in a microwave oven carry on getting hotter even though the microwave oven cooking has stopped.

15. Eggs in their shell and whole hard-boiled eggs should not be heated in microwave ovens since they may explode, even after microwave heating has ended.

16. Keep the waveguide cover clean at all times. Wipe the oven interior with a soft damp cloth after each use. If you leave grease or fat anywhere in the cavity it may overheat, smoke or even catch fire when next using the oven.

17. Never heat oil or fat for deep frying as you cannot control the temperature and doing so may lead to overheating and fire.

18. Microwave heating of beverages can result in delayed eruptive boiling, therefore care must be taken when handling the container.

19. a) Be cautions about touching parts other than control panel during or immediately following grill or combi cooking.

b) Always use hot pads or oven mitts when placing or removing food and/or accessories from the oven.

20. The appliance is not intended for use by young children or infirm person without supervision.

21. Young children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

22. This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.

23. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

EARTHING INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance must be earthed. In the event of an electrical short circuit, earthing reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current. This appliance is equipped with a cord having a earthing wire with a earthing plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and earthed.

INSTALLA TION

1. Ventilation

Do not block air vents. If they are blocked during operation, the oven may overheat and eventually cause a failure. For proper ventilation, allow above 3 inches of space between oven sides, rear and the minimum height of free space necesary above the top surface of the oven is 100mm.

2. Steady, flat location

This oven should be set on a steady, flat surface. This oven is designed for counter top use only. The microwave oven shall not be placed in a cabinet unless it has been tested in a cabinet.

3. Leave space behind and side

All air vents should be kept a clearance. If all vents are covered during operation, the oven may overheat and, eventually, oven failure.

4. Away from radio and TV sets

Poor television reception and radio interference may result if the oven is located close to a TV, Radio antenna, feeder and so on. Position the oven as far from them as possible.

5. Away from heating appliance and water taps

Keep the oven away from hot air, steam or Splash when choosing a place to position it, or the insulation might be adversely affected and breakdowns occur.

6. Power supply

• Check your locla power source. This oven requires a current of approximately 10 amperes, 240V 50Hz.

• Power supply cord is about 0.8 meters long.

• The voltage used must be the same as specified on this oven. Using a higher voltage may result in a fire or other accident causing oven damage. Using low voltage will cause slow cooking. We are not responsible for damage resulting from use of this oven with a voltage of ampere fuse other than those specified.

• If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or a similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.

7. Examine the oven after unpacking for any damage such as:

A misaligned door, Broken door, A dent in cavity. If any of the above are visible, DO NOT INSTALL, and notify dealer immediately.

8. Do not operate the oven if it is colder than room temperature.

CARE OF YOUR MICROW AVE OVEN

Turn the oven off before cleaning.

Keep the inside of the oven clean. When food spatters or spilled liquids adhere to oven walls, wipe with a damp cloth. Mild detergent may be used if the oven gets very dirty. The use of harsh detergent or abrasives is not recommended.

The outside oven surface should be cleaned with soap and water, rinsed and dried with a soft cloth. To prevent damage to the operating parts inside the oven, water should not be allowed to seep into the ventilation openings.

If the Control Panel becomes wet, clean with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use harsh detergents or abrasives on Control Panel.

If steam accumulates inside or around the outside of the oven door, wipe with a soft cloth. This may occur when the microwave oven is operated under high humidity conditions and in no way indicates malfunction of the unit.

It is occasionally necessary to remove the glass tray for cleaning. Wash the tray in warm sudsy water or in a dishwasher.

The roller guide and oven cavity floor should be cleaned regularly to avoid excessive noise. Simply wipe the bottom surface of the oven with mild detergent water or window cleaner and dry. The roller guide may be washed in mild sudsy water.

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 :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 :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 :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 :Why 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 :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 :Will the microwave oven be damaged if it

operates while empty?

* A : Yes. Never run it empty.

* 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 : 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.

2. Do not place any object between the oven front face and the door or allow residue to accumulate on sealing surfaces. Wipe the sealing area frequently with a mild detergent, rinse and dry. Never use abrasive powders or pads.

3. When opened, the door must not be subjected to strain, for example, a child hanging on an opened door or any load could cause the oven to fall forward to cause injury and also damage to the door. Do not operate the oven if it is damaged, until it has been repaired by a competent service technician. It is particularly important that the oven

closes properly and that there is no damage to the: i) Door(bent) ii) Hinges and Hookes(broken or loosened) iii) Door seals and sealing surfaces.

4. The oven should not be adjusted or repaired by anyone except a properly competent service technician.

5. The oven should be cleaned regularly and any food deposits removed;

6. Failure to maintain the oven in a clean condition could lead to deterioration of the surface that could adversely affect the life of the appliance and possibly result in a hazardous situation.

BEFORE YOU CALL FOR SERVICE

Refer to following checklist, you may prevent an unnecessary service call.

* The oven doesn’t work :

1. Check that the power cord is securely plugged in.

2. Check that the door is firmly closed.

3. Check that the cooking time is set.

4. Check for a blown circuit fuse or tripped main circuit breaker in your house.

* Sparking in the cavity;

1. Check utensils. Metal containers or dishes with metal trim should not be used.

2. Check that metal skewers or foil does not touch the interior walls.

If there is still a problem, contact the service station. A list of these stations is included in the oven.

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO SERVICE THE OVEN YOURSELF !

COOKING INSTRUCTIONS

Only use the utensils that are suitable for use in microwave ovens.

Utensil Guide

Only use utensils that are suitable for use in microwave ovens. To cook food in the microwave oven, the microwaves must be able to penetrate the food, without being reflected or absorbed by the dish used. Care must therefore be taken choosing the utensil. If the utensil is marked microwave-safe, you do not need to worry. The following table lists various of utensil and indicates whether and how they should be used in a microwave oven.

USE YOUR MICROW AVE OVEN SAFELY

General Use

Do not attempt to defeat or tamper with safety interlocks. Do not place any object between the oven front frame and the door or allow residue to build up on sealing surfaces. Wipe with a mild detergent, rinse and dry. Never use abrasive powders or pads. Do not subject the oven door to strain or weight such as a child hanging on an open door. This could cause the oven to fall forward resulting in injury to you and damage to the oven.

Do not operate the oven if door seals or sealing surfaces are damaged; or if door is bent; or if hinges are loose or broken. Do not operate the oven empty. This will damage the oven. Do not attempt to dry clothes, newspapers or other materials in the oven. They may catch on fire. Do not use recycled paper products as they may contain impurities which may cause sparks or fires. Do not hit or strike the control panel with hard objects. This can damage the oven.

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. 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 put packaged Microwave Popcorn bags directly on the oven tray. Place the package on a microwave safe glass or ceramic plate to avoid overheating and cracking the oven tray. Do not exceed the Microwave Popcorn manufacturers suggested popping time. Longer popping does not yield more popcorn but it can result in scorch, burn or 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, turn the timer knob the point “OFF” 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.

MICROW AVING 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.

CONVERSION CHARTS

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

REFLECTION

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

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 11/

2 - 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.

HOW MICROW AVES COOK FOOD

Microwave oven is a Group 2 ISM equipment in which radiofrequency energy is intentionally generated and used in the form of electromagnetic radiation for the treatment of material. This oven is a Class B equipment suitable for use in domestic establishments and in establishments directly connected to a low voltage power supply network which supplies buildings used for domestic purposes.

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.

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.

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.

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 TECHNIQUES

▶ Do not defrost covered meat. Covering might allow

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

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

food. You 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, touch 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 arching, 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).
