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 when 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.

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.

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.

1. 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.

2. 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 vapours in this oven.

3. As with any appliance, children should use the oven only under adult supervision.

4. Do not store or use this appliance outdoors.

5. Keep the oven away from heat and water sources. Exposure to heat and water can lower efficiency and lead to malfunctioning.

6. 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.

7. It is important to keep the door and the oven interior clean. (See Cleaning instructions on page 30.)

8. 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.

SAVE THESE 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 grounding plug can result in electric shock.

AUTO SENSOR MICROWAVING TIPS

General Sensor Cooking/Reheating:

• For foods not listed in the Sensor Reheating/Cooking guide, use Time cooking.
• After START is pressed, do not open the door while the words SENSOR COOKING scrolls across the display. During this time, the oven is measuring the amount of steam generated from the food. The oven then determines the heating or cooking time for the food.
• Room temperature should be below 35°C (95°F).
• Keep the inside of oven, the turntable and the outside of cooking containers dry. Wipe off all spillovers. Excessive humidity in the oven may result in an incorrect cooking time.
• Always cover food completely (but not too tightly) with wax paper, plastic wrap or casserole lids. Loose-fitting covers may cause the oven to miscalculate time. Never use tightly sealed plastic containers such as those with plastic snap closing lids.

REHEAT, FROZEN REHEAT

• Auto Sensor Reheat is best used for 1 - 2 servings.
- Very dense foods (e.g. frozen lasagna) should be allowed to stand covered after reheating.
- The following foods are not recommended: Boil-in-the-bag entrees or vegetables, raw or uncooked food, food that must be reheated uncovered, foods needing a dry look or crisp surface after reheating, frozen cheesecake, dried foods, bread or pastry, beverages.

• Do not reheat in foil containers.
• When reheating 1 cup (250 mL) of delicate sauces/dips that contain sour cream, eggs or cream cheese, use Time Cooking on power level P30 for 4 - 5 minutes and stir halfway through cooking time.

MEAT (CHICKEN, BEEF, LAMB, PORK)

• Doneness varies with meat of different shape and weight.
• Aluminium foil can be used to cover thin parts of meat or chicken wings and legs to prevent overcooking. Foil should be applied after cooking time appears in the display window.
• While chicken or meat is standing, cover with foil to keep in the heat.
• Use heat resistant microwave-safe wrap only.

SOUP/BEVERAGE

• When reheating canned soups, remove from can. Add milk or water as directed on can. Place in a microwave-safe bowl! or cup.
• Liquid must be room or refrigeration temperature.

See page 17 - 18 for Auto Sensor Microwaving guides and pages 25 - 27 for sample recipes.

Automatic Defrost allows you to easily defrost food. Power levels and times are automatically determined when the food weight is entered.

FINE DEFROST: Use for thorough defrosting of larger, dense frozen foods, when it is important to have the centre section defrosted as well as the outside. Ideal for items such as roasts, whole chicken and steak.

QUICK DEFROST: Use to assist separation of frozen pieces of chicken or fish that need preparation prior to cooking. Excellent for defrosting ground meat for use in spaghetti sauce or taco meat.

Example: To thoroughly defrost a 2.5 kg whole chicken:

1	Press FINE DEFROST.
2	Enter the weight of food in kilogram.
3	Press START.Total defrost time appears in the display.

Defrosting Techniques:

• Remove freezer paper, plastic wrap or foil wrap. Place food in a microwave-safe dish.
  • To prevent thin parts and edges from becoming too warm and cooking before centre of food is defrosted, shield with small pieces of aluminium foil.
• Because some foods will still be icy in the centre, it is necessary to have a standing time after defrosting the food in the oven. Food should be taken out of the oven to complete defrosting. A longer standing time might be required for denser foods such as roasts.
  • To defrost items not listed in defrosting chart, use Time defrosting (see page 14).
  • The FINE DEFROST includes preset standing time.

Note: • Maximum weight for defrosting is 2.9 kg.

• The oven selects 1 kg if a weight is not entered.
- Beep tone sounds 5 times during the defrosting cycle to signal that food should be rearranged to improve defrosting performance. Open the door and rearrange the food. The oven continues the defrosting cycle to the end if you do not open the door.
- Food can be defrosted in a styrofoam package.
- If weight of food is stated in pounds and ounces, it must be converted to kilograms.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

Q. When the oven is plugged into a wall outlet for the first time, it does not work properly. What is wrong?
A. 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 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. Clean the turntable roller rest cavity bottom. Frequent cleaning of these parts should eliminate or reduce the noise.
Q. Why is there noise coming from the oven when using a lower power level?
A. When cooking with power other than P100, the oven automatically turns on and off to obtain lower power output. The clicking noise can be heard when the oven switches on and off. This is normal.
Q. Why is there steam coming out of the air exhaust vent?
A. Steam is produced during cooking. The microwave oven has been made to vent this steam.
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 or START has not been pressed.
Q. Why do eggs sometimes pop?
A. The egg yolk may pop because of steam build-up inside the membrane. Pierce the membrane with a toothpick before cooking it. Never microwave eggs in the shell since they may explode.
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.

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