NEVER USE THE INTERIOR OF YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN FOR STORAGE PURPOSES. NEVER STORE COMBUSTIBLE ITEMS SUCH AS BREAD, COOKIES, PAPER PRODUCTS, ETC. INSIDE THE OVEN TO FACILITATE COOKING. ACCIDENTAL OPERATION CAN CAUSE THESE ITEMS TO GO ON FIRE AND DO DAMAGE TO YOUR MICROWAVE, THEREBY PUTTING YOU AT RISK IF YOU USE IT WHILE IT IS DAMAGED.

A note on the type of energy used by your Microwave Oven

Microwaves are electromagnetic waves that transmit energy. When cooking, the microwave energy penetrates food to a depth of 4cm (1½ inches), causing its molecules to vibrate. The heat produced by this friction enables food to be heated, cooked or defrosted.

How quickly a microwave oven cooks will depend on the size, quality and shape of the food being cooked. Microwave cooking is healthy in that, without the need for large amounts of cooking liquid, it means that food retains vitamins, nutrients, aromas and flavour.

Microwave Ovens are also more energy efficient than conventional cooking because they use up to 70% less energy.

Never use your Microwave Oven to:

☒ Dry clothes or fabrics
☒ Dry or warm up pets or live animals
☒ Warm or heat any item other than food and the appropriate utensil
☒ Cook sealed containers
☒ Cook items where you have placed a liquid or mercury thermometer (eg. Inside roasts or turkeys)
☒ Heat large quantities of cooking oil (fondue or deep frying) or drinks with high alcohol contents

1) Safety Interlock System
2) Observation Window
3) Light
4) Turntable Shaft

5) Turntable Ring Assembly
6) Glass Tray
7) Control Panel

TURNTABLE INSTALLATION

a. Never place the glass tray upside down. The glass tray should never be restricted.
b. Both glass tray and turntable ring assembly must always be used during cooking.
c. All food and containers of food should always placed on the glass tray for cooking.
d. The glass tray rotates clockwise; this is normal.
e. If glass tray or turntable ring assembly cracks or breaks, contact your nearest authorised service centre.

ONCE YOU ARE SURE THAT YOUR OVEN IS NOT DAMAGED (EG. DENTS OR A BROKEN DOOR) AND THAT THERE ARE NO PACKING MATERIALS AND ACCESSORIES INSIDE IT, YOU CAN THEN INSTALL IT ON A FLAT SURFACE SUCH AS A COUNTERTOP. BE SURE THAT THE SURFACE CAN HOLD AT LEAST YOUR MICROWAVE'S WEIGHT (15.6 kg).
BEFORE PLACING ON YOUR COUNTERTOP: REMOVE ANY PROTECTIVE FILM ON THE CABINET SURFACE.
- BUT DO NOT REMOVE THE LIGHT BROWN MICA COVER THAT IS SCREWED TO THE OVEN CAVITY TO PROTECT THE MAGNETRON.
☐ FIND A LEVEL SURFACE THAT PROVIDES ENOUGH OPEN SPACE FOR THE INTAKE AND OUTLET VENTS.

NOTE:

For in-unit installation, please see next page.

• YOU NEED TO LEAVE A MINIMUM OF 3.0 INCHES (7.5 CM) BETWEEN THE OVEN AND ANY ADJACENT WALL. ONE SIDE MUST BE LEFT OPEN FOR PROPER AIR FLOW.
• LEAVE A MINIMUM CLEARANCE OF 12 INCHES (30CM) ABOVE THE OVEN.
• DO NOT REMOVE THE LEGS FROM THE BOTTOM OF THE OVEN.
• DON'T LET ANYTHING BLOCK EITHER THE INTAKE OR THE OUTLET OPENINGS AS THIS CAN DAMAGE THE OVEN.
  ○ PLACE YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN AS FAR AWAY AS POSSIBLE FROM RADIOS AND TELEVISIONS - YOUR OVEN MAY CAUSE SIGNAL INTERFERENCE.
  UNLESS YOU ARE INSTALLING YOUR MICROWAVE IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS ON PAGE 10. DO NOT PUT YOUR OVEN ON TOP OF ANY OTHER HEAT-PRODUCING APPLIANCE OR A RANGE COOKTOP. DOING SO COULD DAMAGE YOUR OVEN AND MAKE THE WARRANTY VOID.

7. WARNING: Children should not be allowed near to the appliance unsupervised.

PLEASE REMEMBER: NOT ALL FOODS AND UTENSILS ARE SUITABLE for use in MICROWAVE OVENS.

➢ Eggs in their shell or whole hard-boiled eggs since they may explode, even after your Microwave has stopped heating them.

home canning have reached the required boiling temperature.

➢ Foods that need deep-frying: your Microwave cannot deep-fry and is liable to present a fire hazard if you attempt to deep fry with it.

Narrow-necked containers like syrup bottles – the neck could explode.

➢ Never use your Microwave when it is empty. This is a fire hazard.

Sealed liquids and food containers – these will almost certainly explode – NEVER PLACE THEM IN YOUR MICROWAVE!

➢ Foods that you intend to can at home. There is no way of ensuring that foods intended for

And please be careful with ...

Heating liquids and drinks: when you heat liquid using a Microwave, part of the liquid can exceed boiling point. Its surface tension is such that it will be susceptible to upward surges. To avoid the risk of being scalded, always handle bowls and cups of heated liquid steadily and carefully. PLEASE SEE NEXT PAGE FOR FURTHER ADVICE TO AVOID SCALDING!

You can reduce the chances of this happening further by

1. Avoiding using straight-sided containers with narrow necks.
2. Not overheating.
3. Stirring the liquid before placing the container in the oven and again halfway through the heating time.
4. After heating, allow to stand in the oven for a short time, stirring again before carefully removing the container, using a cloth or oven glove.

Likewise, if you are heating feeding bottles and baby food jars always stir or shake them and then check the temperature before you serve them, to avoid burns. Remember that babies can be easily scalded!
- If you are cooking bacon, do not place it directly on the turntable as excessive heating may make the turntable likely to break.
Bagged Popcorn – always read the manufacturer's guidelines before Microwaving bagged popcorn.
Always pierce foods with non-porous skins to reduce the risk of them bursting from inside steam build-up; eg: apples, potatoes, chicken livers and egg yolks.
Be sure to make checks on your food during operation to avoid burning and excessive cooking.
Always be careful when opening partially sealed containers – there is the risk of steam escaping.

TO TEST WHETHER YOUR UTENSIL IS MICROWAVE SAFE, YOU CAN CONDUCT THE FOLLOWING TEST:

1. Fill a microwave-safe container with 1 cup of cold water (250ml) along with the utensil in question.
2. Cook on maximum power for 1 minute (no longer than this).
3. Carefully feel the utensil; if it is warm, do NOT use it for microwave cooking.

Materials that you CAN use in your microwave:

Utensil	Remarks
Browning dish	Follow manufacturer's instructions. The bottom of the browning dish must be at least 3/16^ths inch (5mm) above the turntable. Incorrect usage may cause the turntable to break.
Dinnerware	Microwave-safe only. Follow the manufacturer's instructions. Do not use cracked or chipped dishes.
Glass jars	Always remove lid. Use only to warm food. Most glass jars are not heat resistant and may break.
Glassware	Heat-resistant oven glassware only. Make sure there is no metallic trim. Do not use cracked or chipped dishes.
Oven cooking bags	Follow manufacturer's instructions. Do not close with metal ties. Make slits to let steam escape.
Paper Towels	Use to cover food for reheating and absorbing fat. Use with supervision for short-term cooking only.
Paper Plates and Cups	Use for short-term cooking/warming only. Do not leave oven unattended while cooking.
Parchment	Use as a cover to prevent splattering or a wrap for steaming.
Plastic	Microwave-safe only. Follow the manufacturer's instructions. Should be labelled 'Microwave Safe'. Some plastic containers soften as the food inside gets hot. 'Boiling bags' and tightly closed plastic bags should be slit, pierced or vented as directed by the package.
Plastic Wrap / Cling Film	Microwave-safe only. Use to cover food during cooking to retain moisture. Do not allow plastic wrap to touch food.
Thermometers	Microwave-safe only (meat & candy thermometers).

"If in doubt, leave it out!"

Before you start using your Microwave, you may want to set the time on the Clock and Preset times for cooking.

√ Your Microwave operates on a 12-hour clock setting (12:00AM-11:59PM).
√ Each time you press a button, a 'beep' will sound.

1. Clock setting – For example; to set time as '8:30' (AM or PM)

1) When you first plug your Microwave Oven in, you'll see the LED showing '1:01'.
2) Press the 'CLOCK' button.
3) Turn the 'TIMER' dial clockwise until the correct hour is displayed (In this case: '8').
4) Press the 'CLOCK' button.
5) Turn the ‘TIMER’ dial clockwise until the correct minute is displayed (In this case: ‘30’).
6) Press the 'CLOCK' button to set the time. It will now read '8:30'.

• Whenever possible, always cook food covered (but not sealed!). Only pastry dishes with crust should be cooked without a cover.
  There are several types of covering suitable for microwave use. Plastic film or glass lids must always be checked to ensure they can be used for microwaving.
  Paper towels, napkins & wax paper are useful loose covers that can prevent 'spitting' and keep moisture in your food.
• If you can't find cooking details for a specific quantity of food, base the cooking time needed on a similar type of food. You should adjust the cooking time accordingly.
  * Double quantity = almost double time: half quantity = about half the time.
• Remember that refrigerated food will need longer cooking times. Frozen food will require even more time to cook.
  ○ Arrange food carefully. Always place thickest areas towards the outside of the dish.
• Watch the cooking time. Cook for the shortest amount of time indicated and only cook for longer if needed after checking your food. Remember that severely overcooked food can smoke or ignite.

Turn foods over once during microwaving to speed cooking of such foods as chicken and hamburgers. Turn large items like roasts at least once.

- Rearrange foods such as meatballs halfway through cooking, both from top to bottom and from the centre of the dish to the outside.

Some soft vegetables (eg. cauliflower, carrots, peas) should be cooked with a little water. However, mushrooms, tomatoes and peppers should be cooked without water. Try to cut larger vegetables into even-sized pieces. Always cook vegetables in a covered container and stir them from time to time.

○ Cook fatty pieces of meat (eg, pork, poultry) on a non metallic grid or upside-down saucer inside a suitable container. This will allow the fat to drain away. Cook leaner types of meat on a browning skillet. Be sure to turn once during the cooking time.

- Ready meals – always make sure that these are marked as being suitable for microwaving. Follow the instructions as printed on the container such as removing the foil lid or pricking the plastic film.

Remember that you will need to allow for standing time after you take your food from your Microwave Oven. Denser foods will take longer to stand to cool properly.

Close the door and press 'Start' again. Your Microwave Oven will continue cooking as it was set in the program until the end.

Note that when the door is left open for longer than 10 minutes, the light will switch off.

Child-lock Function

To prevent children from using your Microwave Oven, do the following:

To Lock:

Press & hold the 'STOP/CANCEL' button and hold for 3 seconds. After a 'beep', the display will show the LOCK light'[ _2 ]'. This means that your Microwave is now locked.

To Unlock:

While your Microwave is in locked mode, press and hold the 'STOP / CANCEL' button for 3 seconds. After a long beep, the LOCK function is cancelled and the light will disappear. Your Microwave is now unlocked and can be used again normally.

DISPLAY:

When the oven is not being run, the LED display shows the clock. `:' will flash.

While functioning, the LED displays the related setting.

In the operating and suspended state (eg., if operation is paused), the LED will display the cooking time remaining.

In the operating or suspended state or when the door is open, the flashing 'Micro' light will be lit and the restarting light will flash.

Cleaning

Note: never use abrasive cleaning substances or coarse cleaning materials to clean your Microwave. Your Microwave requires a minimum of maintenance. Remember that after you clean the turntable and its ring assembly, you must place them correctly otherwise your Microwave will not work properly.

Always keep the door seal surfaces clean!

- You can do this by wiping them down regularly with a damp cloth so that any grease, food debris or spatters will not build up.

- THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT AS LETTING SUCH SUBSTANCES COLLECT CAN RESULT IN LEAKAGE OF MICROWAVE ENERGY FROM YOUR OVEN.

Clean the inside of your oven after use with a slightly damp cloth.

Clean the glass turntable plate using washing-up liquid or in a dishwasher.

Clean the outside of your Microwave Oven with a soft cloth and a mild, warm detergent solution. Be careful not to let water get into any of the fan portholes or over the power cord.

Odours can be eliminated from the inside of your oven by boiling a solution of one cup of water and several tablespoons of lemon juice in the cavity.

- Very stubborn stains can be removed using a soft nail brush.

REMEMBER THAT CONDENSATION IS NORMAL. HEATING FOOD AND DRINKS WILL INEVITABLY PRODUCE STEAM WHICH, IN TURN LEADS TO CONDENSATION.

REMEMBER THAT THIS IS NORMAL!
