Frequently Asked Questions - EM-V3410W SANYO

Why does the oven make a clicking noise when using lower power levels?

When cooking with power other than P100, the oven automatically turns on and off to obtain lower power output. The clicking noise is normal and occurs when the oven switches on and off.

Why is there steam coming out of the air exhaust vent?

Steam is produced during cooking. The microwave oven is designed to vent this steam through the exhaust vent. This is normal.

Why do eggs sometimes pop in the microwave?

Egg yolks may pop due to steam build-up inside the membrane. To prevent this, pierce the membrane with a toothpick before cooking. Never microwave eggs in the shell as they may explode.

What should I do if the oven does not start?

Check that the electrical cord is plugged in, the door is closed properly, and the correct operation settings are entered. If the problem persists, refer to the troubleshooting section or contact an authorized service center.

How can I avoid arcing or sparking in the oven?

Use only microwave-safe cookware. Do not operate the oven when empty. Clean the cavity with a wet towel to remove any spilled food that may cause arcing.

Why are my foods unevenly cooked?

Uneven cooking can occur if non-microwave-safe materials are used, food is not completely defrosted, cooking time or power level is incorrect, or food is not turned or stirred. Adjust these factors accordingly.

How do I set the child lock?

Press and hold the START keypad for 4 seconds. The lock indicator () appears in the display. To cancel, press and hold START again for 4 seconds until the indicator disappears.

Can I use aluminum foil in the microwave?

Yes, but only in small smooth pieces to shield thin parts of meat or poultry. Keep the foil at least 2.5 cm away from oven walls to prevent arcing. Never cover more than a small area.

What is the Menu Match feature used for?

Menu Match adjusts the cooking time and power level when following package instructions designed for a different wattage oven. Select the recommended power level (800W, 700W, 600W, High, Medium, Low) and enter the suggested time; the oven automatically calculates the correct settings.

How do I clean the microwave oven?

Wipe the inside and outside with a soft cloth and a mild detergent solution. Rinse and dry. Clean the turntable and roller rest in warm water with mild detergent. Never use abrasive powders or pads. For the control panel, press STOP/CLEAR after cleaning to clear accidental entries.

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.
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 vapours 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 30.)
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.

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.

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 13).
  • 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 per formance. 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.

COOKING PRINCIPLES AND TECHNIQUES

Advantages of microwave cooking are speed and efficiency. For warming, heating, and defrosting, nothing compares. There are a few tips that will make microwaving easier and more enjoyable.

Microwave Cooking Principles

Because microwave cooking requires only one-quarter to one-third the time of conventional cooking, the same cooking principles become even more important.

Quantity

In microwave cooking, the cooking time is dependent on the amount of food in the oven. If you double the recipe, plan on doubling the cooking time.

Density

Dense foods, such as potatoes, need more cooking time as they take longer for microwave energy to penetrate and the heat to conduct through them.

Shape and Size

Cut food into uniform shapes and sizes for even cooking in the microwave. When cooking irregular shapes (such as chicken pieces), place the thicker parts to the outer edge of the dish.

Moisture, Sugar and Fat

Food high in moisture, sugar or fat cook faster. Add a minimum of liquid to moisten foods.

An excess amount of water slows cooking.

Starting Temperature

Frozen or refrigerated foods take longer to microwave than food at room temperature.

Delicate Ingredients

Delicate foods such as eggs, cheese, mayonnaise, etc., cook very quickly, and should be watched carefully.

Microwave Cooking Techniques

Arranging: Arrange food in a circular pattern, with denser, thicker items at the edge of the dish.

Piercing: Pierce the membrane of foods such as eggs, oysters, snails, sausages, livers, clams and whole vegetables, so they do not burst.

Reheating: Cooked food reheats extremely well by using a low level of microwave energy. Place denser foods near the outer edge of the dish when reheating.

Covering: Most foods will cook and reheat better when covered. Pierce plastic wrap to vent steam.

Stirring: To help food cook more quickly and evenly.

Turning Over: To promote more even cooking, turn larger solid items such as roasts or baked potatoes over halfway through the cooking time.

Shielding: Use small, smooth strips of aluminum foil to prevent corners, thin or bony areas from overcooking.

Standing Time: Foods continue cooking even after removal from the oven. Standing time is necessary to allow foods to complete cooking/defrosting.

Converting Recipes

Microwave recipes will likely call for less liquid and cooking time.

Microwave Thermometers

For best results, a microwave-safe thermometer can be carefully and properly inserted into the food. The guide below gives suggested thermometer readings for meat and poultry. Keep in mind that standing time is essential for most food to reach its proper serving temperature.

Guide to Internal Temperatures

140°F (60°C) . Rare beef

PREPARATION

• Use a microwave-safe dish.
• Defrost frozen food completely.
- Wash poultry and fish in cool water.
- Arrange small items in a single layer in dish, avoid overlapping edges of food.
- Place thick sections toward edge of the dish.
- Use a rack in the dish to elevate meat out of the juices.
• Use spices, seasonings as desired.
- Add salt after cooking if necessary.
- Aluminum foils can be used to cover thin parts of meat or poultry wings and legs to prevent overcooking.
- Foils should be applied toward the end of cooking time.
- Place meat fat side down.

COOKING

• Use wax paper or plastic wrap to stop splattering.
• Turn over or rearrange meat, poultry and fish halfway through cooking time.

CHECKING PROGRESS

Beef: The color inside meat indicates doneness. Rare roast should be red inside. Medium is pink and gray indicates well done.

Pork: Cooked pork meat should be gray with clear juice.

Poultry: Juices should be clear yellow when cooked. Legs should move freely.

Fish and Seafood: Should be opaque in color and flake easily.

To check internal temperature of various meats and poultry, use a microwave or conventional meat thermometer after removing meat from the oven. Insert the thermometer avoiding bone or fat. Lower temperatures are found in the center of the roast or in the muscle close to a large bone. Never use a conventional meat thermometer in the microwave oven.

Return undercooked food to oven for a short period of time at the recommended power level. Let stand as recommended in chart. Cover roasts and whole poultry during stand time.

Converting Recipes

When adapting quick bread recipes, you will find it necessary to reduce the amount of leavening (baking powder or soda) by about one-quarter the normal amount. A bitter aftertaste is apparent if too much leavening is used in biscuits or muffins. Since food rises higher in the microwave oven, you will not see a loss in volume from the reduction of soda or baking powder.

If a recipe contains buttermilk or sour cream, do not change the amount of soda, since it serves to counteract the sour taste and does not act only as a leavening agent.

When using a mix where leavening cannot be reduced, allow the dough to stand about 10 minutes before cooking in order for some of the gas to be lost.

Breads and rolls should be reheated only until they are warm to the touch. Overheating or overcooking makes bread tough and rubbery.

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.

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 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.
