15. Some products such as whole eggs and sealed
containers - for example, closed glass jars-are able to
explode and should not be heated in this oven.
16. Use this appliance only for its intended use as described
in this manual. Do not use corrosive chemicals or vapors
in this appliance. This type of oven is specifically
designed to heat, cook, or dry food. It is not designed for
industrial or laboratory use.
17. 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.
18. Do not operate this appliance if it has a damaged cord or
plug, if it is not working properly, or if it has been
damaged or dropped.
19. This appliance should be serviced only by qualified
service personnel.
Contact nearest authorized service facility for
examination, repair or adjustment.
10. Do not cover or block any openings on the appliance.
11. Do not store this appliance outdoors. Do not use this
product near water — for example, near a kitchen sink, in
a wet basement, or near a swimming pool, or similar
locations.
12. Do not immerse cord or plug in water.
13. Keep cord away from heated surfaces.
14. Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter.
15. Either:
a) When cleaning surfaces of door and oven that comes
together on closing the door, use only mild, nonabrasive soaps or detergents applied with a sponge or
soft cloth , or
b) When separate cleaning instructions are provided, See
door surface cleaning instructions on.
16. To reduce the risk of fire in the oven cavity:
a) Do not overcook food. Carefully attend appliance when
paper, plastic, or other com-bustible materials are
placed inside the oven to facilitate cooking.
b) Remove wire twist-ties from paper or plastic bags
before placing bag in oven.
c) If materials inside the oven ignite, keep oven door
closed, turn oven off, and disconnect the power cord,
or shut off power at the fuse or circuit breaker panel.
d) Do not use the cavity for storage purposes. Do not
leave paper products, cooking utensils, or food in the
cavity when not in use.
17. Do not use this microwave oven to heat corrosive
chemicals (for example, sulfides and chlorides). Vapours
from such corrosive chemicals may interact with the
contact and springs of the safety interlock switches
thereby rendering them inoperable.
18. 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.
19. Never heat oil or fat for deep frying as you cannot control
the temperature and doing so may lead to overheating
and fire.
20. Liquids, such as water, coffee, or tea are able to be
overheated beyond the boiling point without appearing to
be boiling due to surface tension of the liquid. Visible
bubbling or boiling when the container is removed from
the microwave oven is not always present. THIS COULD
RESULT IN VERY HOT LIQUIDS SUDDENLY BOILING
OVER WHEN A SPOON OR OTHER UTENSIL IS
INSERTED INTO THE LIQUID.
To reduce the risk of injury to persons:
a) Do not overheat the liquid.
b) Stir the liquid both before and halfway through heating
it
c) Do not use straight-sided containers with narrow
necks.
d) After heating, allow the container to stand in the
microwave oven for a short time before removing the
container.
e) Use extreme care when inserting a spoon or other
utensil into the container.
21. Do not operate the oven without the glass tray in place. Be
sure it is properly sitting on the rotating base.

on different branch circuits.
THE MANUFACTURER is not responsible for any radio or TV interference caused by
UNAUTHORIZED MODIFICATION to this microwave oven. It is the responsibility of the user to
correct such interference.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, the grounding plug reduces
the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for electric current. This appliance is equipped
with a cord having a grounding wire with a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that
is properly installed and grounded.
WARNING:
Improper use of the grounding can result in a risk of electric shock.
Consult a qualified electrician or serviceman if the grounding instructions are not completely
understood, or if doubt exists as to whether the appliance is properly grounded, and either :
(1) If it is necessary to use an extension cord, use only a 3-wire extension cord that has a 3-blade
grounding plug, and a 3-slot receptacle that will accept the plug on the appliance. The marked
rating of the extension cord shall be equal to or greater than the electrical rating of the
appliance. or

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.
16
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.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO SERVICE THE OVEN YOURSELF !
* 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.
CARE AND CLEANING
Although your oven is provided with safety features, it is important to observe the following:
1. It is important not to defeat or tamper with safety
interlocks.
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.

COOKING INSTRUCTIONS
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.
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 starding time of at least 20 seconds
after the oven has been switched off to allao the
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.
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 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, 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.
HOW MICROW AVES COOK FOOD
▲
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
▲
REFLECTION
In a microwave oven,
electricity is converted
into microwave by the
MAGNETRON.
The microwaves bounce
off the metal walls and
the metal door screen.
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
and as heat spreads through the food by
conduction, just as in a traditional oven, the food
cooks from the outside inwards.

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.
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.
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.
SPACING
Foods cook more quickly and evenly if spaced
apart. NEVER pile foods on top of each other.
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.
21
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.

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).
