cooking or heating time. Over cooking
may result in the food catching on re and
subsequent damage to the microwave.
• When heating liquids, e.g. soups, sauces
and beverages in your microwave,
avoid using straight sided containers
with narrow necks. Stir the liquid before
placing the container in the microwave
and again halfway through the heating
time. After heating, let it stand, stir or
shake it again carefully and check the

Metal objects in particular may arc in the
microwave, which can cause serious
damage.
• Do not rinse the turntable by placing it in
water just after cooking. This may cause
breakage or damage.
• Before cooking pierce the skin of
potatoes, apples or any such fruit or
vegetables. They could burst.
• Do not cook eggs in their shell. Eggs in
their shell and whole hard-boiled eggs
should not be heated in microwave since
they may explode, even after microwave
heating has ended. Pressure will build up
inside the egg which will burst.
• Do not attempt deep fat frying in your
microwave. This could result in a sudden

3USINGYOURAPPLIANCE
Beforerstuse:
Take out all the packing, if there is a safe lm over
the oven, tear it o before use. Check carefully
for damage. If any, immediately notify dealer or
send to the manufacturer’s Service Centre.
Microwave ovens must be placed under dry and
non-corrosiveness environments, kept away from
heat and humidity, such as gas burner or water
tank.
To ensure sucient 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 5 cm, the free distance above the top
surface at least 20 cm. The distance of the
microwave to the ground should be at least
85cm.
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.
The appliance must be positioned so that the
plug is accessible, and has a good grounding in

avoid electric shock.
The microwave oven must be operated with the
door closed.
The microwave oven must not be placed in a
cabinet.
The microwave oven is intended to be used freestanding.
The back of the oven must be placed against a
wall.
During rst use the microwave oven may omit
an odour and slightly smoke. This is due to
manufacturing residue or oil on the heat element
or oven cavity. This is normal and should not
occur after several uses. Keep doors and
windows open to ensure good ventilation. It

Caution!: There are a number of accessories
available on the market. Before you buy, make
sure they are suitable for microwave use.
When you put food into the Microwave, ensure
that the food, food supports and/or covering
do not come in direct contact with any of the
internal walls or the ceiling of the cavity since
discolouration may take place.
Some plastics are heat-proof only to certain
temperatures. Check carefully!
Always remove lids of jars and containers,
including take away food containers, before
you cook using your microwave. If you don’t
remove the lids, then steam and pressure can
build up inside and cause an explosion even after
microwave cooking has stopped.
Do not use straight sided containers with narrow
necks when heating liquid. Use extreme care
when inserting a spoon or other utensils into the
container.
Cookingtips:
The following factors may aect the cooking
result:
Foodarrangement
Place thicker areas towards the outside of the
dish with the thinner parts towards the centre.
Spread it evenly and avoid overlap if possible.
Cookingtimelength
Begin cooking on a shorter time setting and
evaluate the food after it times out.
Extend the time according to the actual need.
Over cooking may result in burnt food and
smoke.
Piercing
Food such as potatoes, sh, chicken and
sausages all need to be pierced in several places
before cooking, so that steam does not build up
and cause the food to explode.
Cookingfoodevenly
Food such as chicken, burgers or steak should
be turned once during cooking.
Depending on the type of food, if applicable, stir
from outside to the centre of the dish once or
twice during cooking.
Allowstandingtime
Once the cooking time has nished, allow food
to stand in the Microwave for a few minutes. This
allows the food to complete its cooking cycle
and to cool down naturally.
Ifthefoodiscookedfully:
The colour and rmness of food help to
determine whether it done.
The following signs show that the food is ready:
• Steam coming out from all parts of food,
not just the edge
• Joints of poultry can be moved easily
• Pork or poultry show no signs of blood
• Fish is opaque and can be sliced easily with
a fork
Browningdish
When using a browning dish or self-heating
container, always place a heat-resistant insulator
such as a porcelain plate under it to prevent
damage to the turntable and rotating ring.

4TROUBLESHOOTING&FAQ’S
QuestionsAnswers
Is it normal for the turntable
to turn in either direction?
Can I operate my
microwave whilst it is
empty?
Can I open the door whilst
the microwave is running?
Why is my microwave
sparking?
I am trying to cook eggs
and they are popping.
What do I do?
My microwave is taking
longer to cook food than
the cooking guide says.
Can I operate my
microwave without the
turntable?
What does standing
time mean and why is it
recommended?
Yes. The turntable can rotate clockwise or anti-clockwise, depending on
the rotation of the motor when the cooking cycle starts.
No, never run it empty or with a very small load for a long period of time as
this will damage the microwave.
You can open the door at any point during cooking. The microwave energy
will automatically switch o when the door is opened, and the time setting
will pause until the door is closed.
If you see sparks in your microwave, turn it o immediately. Sparks can be
caused by:
metal or aluminium foil that touches the interior of the microwave, metal
from a closing strip or tableware with metallic edges; recycled paper
that contains small metal particles and aluminium foil that is not correctly
covering the food.
Remove anything from the Microwave that may contain metal. Refer to
the Utensils Guideline in this manual for reference of what containers are
microwave safe.
When you bake or poach eggs, the yolk can pop due to a build-up of
steam inside the yolk membrane. Pierce the yolk with a toothpick before
cooking. Never cook eggs without rst piercing their shells.
Variations in the size, shape and weight of your food can aect cooking
times.
Cooking guide times and heat settings should be used as suggestions to
help prevent over-cooking. If you nd the cooking time or temperature is
not suited to your ingredients, adjust accordingly.
No. If you remove the turntable you will get poor cooking results. Ensure
that all dishes used in the Microwave t correctly on to the turntable.
Standing time means that food should be removed from the Microwave
and allowed to ‘stand’ for an additional time to let it nish cooking.
This is important because with microwave cooking, the heat is held 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.
Most directions on microwavable food will note how much standing time is
required.
Microwavesafeplasticcookware
Some microwave safe plastic cookware might
not be suitable for cooking foods with high fat
and sugar content. The preheating time specied
in the dish instruction manual must not be
exceeded.

5CLEANING&CARE
The microwave should be cleaned regularly
and any food deposits removed.
Remove the power cord from the wall outlet
before cleaning. Don’t immerse the appliance
in water or other uids when cleaning.
Failure to maintain the microwave in a clean
condition could lead to deterioration of the
surface. This could adversely aect the life
of the appliance and possibly result in a
hazardous situation.
Never use hard detergent, gasoline, abrasive
powder or metal brush to clean any part of
the appliance.
Do not remove the waveguide cover.
After lengthy use, it is possible for odors to
emit from the Microwave.
The following 3 points are some methods to
remove odors or unpleasant smells:
1. Place several lemon slices in a cup, then
heat with high Micro Power for 2-3 min.
2. Put some orange peel into the
Microwave, and then heat them with high
Micro Power for 1 minute.
Tipsforcleaning
If the seal of the microwave is dirty, it may
stop the door from closing properly. Keep the
seal clean.
Residue of food from spillovers or splatters
will attract microwave energy causing it to
burn on. This could reduce the eciency of
the microwave and may cause bad odours.
Details for cleaning door seals, cavity and
adjacent parts:
• Exterior: Wipe the enclosure with a
dampened soft cloth
• Door: Using a dampened soft cloth, wipe
clean the door and window. Wipe the
door seals and adjacent parts to remove
any spills. Wipe the control panel with a
slightly dampened soft cloth.
• Interior walls: Wipe clean the cavity with
a dampened soft cloth. Wipe clean the
waveguide cover to remove any food
remnants.
• Turntable / Rotation ring / Rotation axis:
Wash with mild soap water. Rinse with
clean water and allow drying thoroughly.
Note: Do not remove the Waveguide cover
during cleaning.
Make sure the Waveguide cover is installed
correctly and has not been damaged during
cooking.
Spicy sauces such as ketchup and mustard,
or salty dishes such as salted meat contain
ingredients that can erode the surface.
After use, you should always clean the oven
interior.
