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.

1. If smoke is observed, switch off or unplug the appliance and keep the door closed in order to stifle any flames.
2. When heating food in plastic or paper containers, keep an eye on the oven due to the possibility of ignition.
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. 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;
6. 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.
7. Never heat oil or fat for deep frying as you cannot control the temperature and doing so may lead to overheating and fire.
8. Microwave heating of beverages can result in delayed eruptive boiling, therefore care must be taken when handling the container.

UTENSIL TEST Dishes

that do not absorb microwave energy are best for microwave cooking. Lock on the label to verify that particular cups, glasses, plates are indeed suitable, especially paper goods. If you are not sure, try this utensil test to check. Put the empty utensil in the microwave oven. Put one cup of water in a glass measure next to the empty utensil. Heat on HI for 1 minute. After 1 minute the water should be warm but the utensil should not. If the utensil is warm, it is not suitable for microwave cooking.

MICROWAVE UTENSILS

Utensils should be checked to ensure that they are suitable for use in microwave ovens; for example,

Glass, Ceramic and China

Ovenproof glass or ceramic baking dishes are the most used microwave utensils.

Many of these items are readily available in most homes: glass measure, custard cups, mixing bowls, covered casseroles, pie plates and round or square cake dishes. Ovenproof dinner ware is usually safe to use in the microwave.

Do not heat or cook in glass jars or bottles.

Do not use dishes with silver, gold, platinum or other metal trim. Arcing may occur and/or the dish may break.

Do not use delicate or stemmed glassware. Although the glass may be transparent to microwave energy, heat from the food may cause the glassware to crack.

Plastics & Paper

When heating food in plastic or paper containers, check the oven frequently due to the possibility of ignition;

Plastic dishes, cups, mugs and bowls may be used in the oven for short periods of time. None of these should be used in the oven for prolonged periods because distortion and melting may occur.

Check manufacturer's recommendations concerning microwave safety.

Plastic wrap can be used to cover dishes in most recipes if the dish is deep enough to avoid plastic wrap touching the food. Always vent the wrap by folding back one corner to allow excess steam to escape.

Plastic cooking bags should be slit before cooking so excess steam can escape.

Do not use wire twist ties to close the bag. Wire twist ties can cause arcing which can damage the oven.

Paper cups, wax paper, napkins, paper towels, and plates may be used for short cooking. Prolonged time in the oven can cause paper to burn. Do not use recycled paper products, such as brown paper bags.

They contain impurities which may cause arcing and damage the oven.

Metal

Metal utensils should not be used in the oven. Metal reflects microwave energy so foods will not cook evenly.

Metal can cause arcing and damage the oven.

1 Turn the oven off before cleaning.
2 In a method to clean the door seal area, you can use the mild detergent with a damp cloth in case that the food or something like that adhere to the door seal area.
3 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.
4 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.
5 If the Control Panel becomes wet, clean with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use harsh detergents or abrasives on Control Panel.
6 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.

7

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

8

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.

ROLLER GUIDE

1 The ROLLER GUIDE and oven floor should be cleaned frequently to prevent excessive noise.
2 The ROLLER GUIDE MUST ALWAYS be used for cooking together with the Glass Tray.

GLASS TRAY

1 DO NOT operate the oven without the Glass Tray in place.
2 DO NOT use any other Glass Tray with this oven.
3 If Glass Tray is hot, ALLOW TO COOL before cleaning or placing it in water.
4 DO NOT cook directly on the Glass Tray.

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 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 over cook 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 stir liquids before heating. Heated liquids can erupt, if not mixed with air.

Do not leave the oven unattended while popping corn.

Do not pop popcorn 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.

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!

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.

1. The oven should not be adjusted or repaired by anyone except a properly competent service technician.
2. The oven should be cleaned regularly and any food deposits removed;
3. 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.

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 and START is touched.

* 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.

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.

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.

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, 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).
