PROPER AND SAFE USE OF YOUR OVEN

• The oven must be level.
- The turntable and turntable roller rest must be in the oven during cooking.
- Place the cookware gently on the turntable and handle it carefully to avoid possible breakage.
- The oven has several built-in safety switches to ensure that the power remains off when the door is open. Do not tamper with these switches.
- Do not operate the microwave oven empty.
- Do not overcook food. A small quantity of food with low moisture content or high fat or sugar content can burn.
- Do not cook bacon directly on the turntable. Excessive local heating of the turntable may cause it to break.
- When heating food in plastic or paper containers, check the oven frequently due to the possibility of cause fires in the oven.
- Do not place liquids or other foods with sealed containers in the microwave oven, it may explode.

• Avoid heating baby bottles or baby food jars. Transfer the food into a suitable container for the microwave oven. The food temperature should be tested before giving it to the baby.
• Do not heat narrow-necked containers, such as syrup bottles.
• Do not attempt to deep-fry in your microwave oven as the temperature of oil cannot be controlled.
• Do not heat cans. Transfer the contents into a microwave-safe dish before heating.
• Do not use this microwave oven for commercial purposes. This microwave oven is made for household use only.

NOTE

- It is quite normal for steam to be emitted around the door, for misting to occur on the door, or even for water droplets to appear below the door during the cooking cycle. This is merely condensation from the heat of the food.

PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY

(a) Never interfere or tamper with safety interlocks.
(b) Do not place any object between the oven front face and the door or allow soil or cleaner residue to accumulate on door sealing surfaces. Wipe the door sealing area frequently with a mild detergent, rinse and wipe dry. Never use abrasive powders or pads.
(c) When open, the door must not be subjected to strain; for example, a child hanging on the opened door or any load on it could cause the oven to fall forward, and the weight could also damage the door.
(d) Do not operate the oven if it is damaged. It is particularly important that the oven door closes properly and that there is no damage to the:
(1) DOOR (bent)
(2) HINGES AND LATCHES (broken or loosened)
(3) DOOR SEALS AND SEALING SURFACES

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should be followed, including the following:

WARNING -

To reduce the risk of burns, electric shock, fire, injury to persons or exposure to excessive microwave energy:

1. Read all instructions before using.
2. As with most cooking appliances, close supervision is necessary to reduce the risk of a fire in the oven cavity.

If a fire should start or smoke is observed:

• 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.

Keep in mind the following rules at all times:

a. Do not overcook food. Overcooked food can cause fires in the oven. Carefully attend to the oven's activities, especially if paper, plastic, or other combustibles are inside.
b. Do not store combustible items such as bread, cookies, paper products, etc. inside the oven. They may catch fire if turned on accidentally.
c. Do not use wire twist-ties in the oven. Be sure to inspect purchased items for wire twist-ties and remove before placing food in the oven.
3. Some products such as eggs in the shell, water with oil or fat, sealed containers and closed glass jars may explode and therefore should not be heated in this oven.

1. Use this oven only for its intended uses as described in the manual. It is not designed for industrial or laboratory use. Never use corrosive chemicals or vapors in this oven.
2. As with any appliance, children should use the oven only under adult supervision.
3. Do not store or use this appliance outdoors.
4. Keep the oven away from heat and water sources. Exposure to heat and water can lower efficiency and lead to malfunctioning.
5. When heating water or other liquids, use a wide necked container to allow air bubbles to escape freely. Using narrow-necked containers may cause the liquid to boil over. This may happen even after the cooking has stopped.
6. It is important to keep the door and the oven interior clean. (See "Cleaning" instructions on page 16.)
7. To prevent delayed eruptive boiling of hot liquids and beverages or scalding, stir liquid before placing the container in the oven and again halfway through cooking time. Let stand in the oven for a short time and stir again before removing the container.

WARNING

(a) Do not adjust or repair microwave oven yourself. Do not operate the oven if it is damaged, until it has been repaired by a service engineer trained by the manufacturer.
(b) It is dangerous for anyone other than a properly qualified engineer trained by the manufacturer to carry out adjustments or repairs.
(c) If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a special prepared cord available from the Manufacturer or its Service Agent.
(d) On no account remove or interfere with any parts or screws. THIS COULD PROVE VERY DANGEROUS.
(e) Before use, the user should check that utensils are suitable for use in microwave ovens.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

EARTHING INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance must be earthed. If there is 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 that has a earthing wire with a earthing plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and earthed.

The electrical power cord must be kept dry and must not be pinched or crushed in any way.

WARNING - Improper use of the earthing plug can result in electric shock.

INSTALLATION

Remove all packing material and accessories. Examine the oven for any damage such as dents or a broken door. Do not install if oven is damaged.

1. Select a level surface that provides enough open space (see illustration at right) for the inlet and/or outlet vents.
2. Leave a minimum clearance of 7.5 cm above the oven.
3. Do not remove the legs from the bottom of the oven.
4. Blocking the inlet and/or outlet openings can damage the oven.
5. Do not install oven over a range, cooktop or other heat-producing appliance.
6. Place the oven as far away from radios and T.V.'s as possible.
7. When the cabinet is covered with a protective film, remove the film to fully show the intended colour and finish.
8. Plug your oven into a standard household outlet.

When installing in a "Built-in" situation, you must allow a minimum of 7.5 cm on each side and the top and at the back of the microwave oven for ventilation. Failing to do so might cause damage to the microwave oven.

A minimum clearance of 7.5 cm is required between the oven and any adjacent walls including the back wall.

AUTOMATIC DEFROST BY WEIGHT

The Auto Defrost by Weight feature allows precise, even defrosting of frozen foods — automatically. Two defrost options are available on this oven.

QUICK DEFROST is used as a fast or more prompt defrost. When using QUICK DEFROST, the frozen food will be defrosted about 50-60%.

FINE DEFROST will require more time, and the frozen food will be more thoroughly defrosted. The same types of foods may be defrosted using either defrost key. Press either QUICK DEFROST key or FINE DEFROST key. Then enter the weight of the frozen food, using the number keypad. Weight may be entered up to 2.9 kg. The program will select 1 kg if a weight is not entered.

Pause Reminder

For the best results, microwave defrosting requires rearranging the food about halfway through the process. A pause reminder mechanism is built into this feature to alert you with five beeps to open the door and check, separate or turn the food. The PAUSE prompt scrolls in the display.

If you do not open the door at the pause reminder, the oven continues to complete the defrosting.

For manual defrosting using Time Cooking, see page 14.

Example: To thoroughly defrost 1.2 kg of chicken pieces:

1.

FINE DEFROST

Press FINE DEFROST.

2.

Enter the weight by touching 1 and then 2.

3.

Press START. The oven starts and the defrost time counts down in the display.

1. When the five-beep Pause Reminder sounds, open the door to separate, rearrange or turn food over. Close door.

5.

Press START to resume defrosting.

Remember:

• To enter a weight of less than 1 kg, always press 0 first. For example, to enter 0.2 kg, press 0 and then 2.
- Only one digit can be entered after a decimal point. If in doubt, convert to the lower number.

TIME COOKING

This basic microwave cooking method allows you to cook food for a desired time at different power levels. Cooking time can be set up to 99 minutes 99 seconds.

Microwave power can be selected from 11 different levels as shown below:

Power level

P-100 - 100% (maximum power)
P-90-90%

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

OPERATION

Q. What is wrong when the oven light will not glow?

A. There may be several reasons why the oven light will not glow.

• The light bulb has burned out.

• START has not been touched.

Q. Why is steam coming out of the air exhaust vent?

A. Steam is normally produced during cooking. The microwave oven has been made to vent this steam.

Q. Can the microwave oven be damaged if it operates empty?

A. Yes. Never operate while empty or without the turntable positioned correctly on the roller rest.

Q. When the oven is plugged into a wall outlet for the first time, it might not work properly. What is wrong?

A. When the oven is plugged in for the first time or when power resumes after a power interruption, the microcomputer used in the oven control may temporarily become scrambled and fail to function as programmed. Unplug the oven from the wall outlet and then plug it back in. The microcomputer will then reset for proper functioning.

Q. Why do I see light reflection around the outer case?

A. This light is from the oven light located outside the oven cavity.

Q. Why is there noise coming from the turntable when the oven is turned on?

A. This noise occurs when the turntable roller rest and cavity bottom are dirty. Frequent cleaning of these parts should eliminate or reduce the noise.

Q. Instructions for aluminium foil use are confusing. When should I use foil?

A. It should be used to shield portions of food from becoming overcooked or overdefrosted. Use small flat pieces of foil for shielding. (Refer to page 4).

FOODS

Q. What is wrong when baked foods have a hard, dry, brown spot?

A. This is caused by overcooking. Shorten cooking or reheating time.

Q. Why do eggs sometimes pop?

A. The egg yolk may pop because of steam build-up inside the membrane. To prevent this, simply pierce the membrane with a toothpick before cooking it. CAUTION: Never microwave eggs in the shell since they may explode.

Q. Why are scrambled eggs sometimes a little dry after cooking?

A. Eggs dry out if they are overcooked. You may need to vary the cooking time for one of these reasons:

• Eggs vary in size.
• Eggs are at room temperature one time and at refrigerator temperature another time.
• The shapes of utensils vary, which makes it necessary to vary cooking time.
• Eggs continue cooking during standing time.

Q. What is wrong when three potatoes bake thoroughly and the fourth one is still not cooked?

A. The fourth potato may be slightly heavier than the others and should be cooked 30 to 60 seconds longer. Remember to allow 2.5 cm around each potato when baking. For more even cooking, place potatoes in a circle.

Q. Why do baked apples sometimes burst during cooking?

A. As in regular cooking methods, steam is formed in the interior of the apple, causing it to swell and expands during the cooking process.

Q. How are boil-overs avoided?

A. Use a larger utensil than usual for cooking. If you open the oven door or touch STOP/CLEAR. the food will stop boiling

Q. Why does the dish become hot when I microwave food in it?

A. As the food becomes hot it will conduct the heat into the dish. Use oven mitts to remove food after cooking.

CLEANING

Wipe the oven inside and outside with a soft cloth and a mild detergent solution. Then rinse and wipe dry. This should be done on a weekly basis - more often if needed. Never use cleaning powders or rough pads. Excessive oil splatters on the inside top will be difficult to remove if left for many days. Wipe spatters with a wet paper towel, especially after cooking chicken or bacon.

REMOVABLE PARTS

The following parts may be removed as described. They should be washed in warm (not hot) water with a mild detergent and a soft cloth. Once they are clean, rinse them well and dry with a soft cloth. Never use cleaning powders, steel wool or rough pads.

• The turntable may be removed at the sink. Be careful not to chip or scratch the edges as this may cause the turntable to break during use.
• The turntable roller rest should be cleaned regularly.

SPECIAL CARE

For best performance and safety, the inner door panel and the oven front frame should be free of food or grease buildup. Wipe them often with a mild detergent. Then rinse and wipe dry. Never use cleaning powders or rough pads.

After cleaning the control panel, touch

STOP/CLEAR to clear any entries that might have been entered accidentally while cleaning the panel.
