HOW TO USE YOUR OVEN SAFELY (MICROWAVE)

1. When boiling water or other liquids, be sure to use a wide mouthed container, this will allow air bubbles to escape freely and prevent boiling over. Overheating the liquid beyond boiling point can occur without the evidence of bubbling. This could result in a sudden boil over of the hot liquid.
2. Do not attempt to operate the oven while empty as this will cause damage.
3. Do not deep fry in the microwave oven as the temperature of the oil cannot be controlled and it may overheat.
4. Never completely seal containers in the microwave oven. Coverings are necessary but containers must not be airtight.

5. Small quantities of food with low moisture content or high fat or sugar content can burn, dry out or catch fire if cooked or re-heated too long. Please note that the heating / cooking period required is extremely short: for example it only takes approximately 15 seconds to heat one mince pie or similar.

6. Always pierce food which has a skin or membrane, for example, eggs, potatoes, tomatoes, apples, sausages etc. If you don't pierce them steam will build up inside and they may explode.

7. When disposable containers of plastic, paper or other combustible materials are used to reheat food, it is advisable to check from time to time during the cooking cycle.

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 and does not affect the safety of your oven. The door is not intended to seal the oven cavity completely but its special SANYO design contributes to the complete safety of the appliance.

ALTHOUGH YOUR OVEN IS PROVIDED WITH SAFETY FEATURES, IT IS IMPORTANT TO OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:

a. Do not tamper with safety interlocks.
b. Do not place any object between the oven and the door or allow any food residue to accumulate on sealing surfaces. Wipe the door sealing area frequently with a mild detergent, rinse and wipe dry. Never use abrasive powders or pads.
c. When opened, the door must not be subjected to strain, for example, a child hanging on an opened door may cause the oven to fall forward resulting in injury.
d. If any damage is apparent, do not operate the oven. Contact your nearest SANYO SERVICE CENTRE.

OTHER IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

The following safety precautions should be followed when using this appliance:

1. Read all instructions before first use.
2. When operating your oven for the first time, select Convection cooking, set temperature to 250^ C and operate for 20 mins, with glass tray and support installed. This is necessary to ensure that any residue is burnt off. Smoke and / or a smell of burning are normal during this operation and do not indicate any failure of the unit. Before further use, please allow oven to stand for 30 minutes, in order to cool down.
3. As with most cooking appliances, close supervision is necessary.

If a fire should start:

• Keep the oven door closed.
  • Turn the oven off.
  * Disconnect the power cord or shut off the power at the mains.

Other important safety points to remember are:

WHEN COOKING BY MICROWAVE:

1. Do not use wire ties in the oven. Be sure to inspect purchased items for wire ties and remove before placing food in the oven.

2. It is important to keep the oven interior clean. Food particles left on the oven walls reduce the efficiency of the microwaves.

3. Do not heat foods or liquids in bottles or jars with lids on. Air must be allowed to escape from the container.

4. Milk or food for babies should be heated on 450W. It should then be stirred thoroughly and tested to ensure that it is at the correct temperature before giving it to the baby.
5. Care must be taken when removing cups of hot liquid from the turntable. Cups should be lifted not slid to the edge of the turntable to prevent tipping.
6. Never microwave eggs in the shell since they may explode. The egg yolk may pop because of a build-up of steam inside the membrane. To prevent this, pierce the membrane before cooking it.

WHEN COOKING BY GRILL / CONVECTION:

1. Take care not to spill water on the glass viewing window during or immediately after cooking as it may crack.
2. Be sure to use an oven glove when loading and unloading the oven.
3. Be careful not to touch the viewing window when loading or unloading the oven.
4. The top of the cabinet gets very hot, therefore do not place items on the oven.

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 supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, as a specially prepared cord is required.
(d) On no account remove or interfere with any parts or screws. THIS COULD PROVE VERY DANGEROUS.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

INSTALLATION

OVEN POSITIONING

1. Install the oven on a flat, level surface strong enough to safely bear the weight of the oven.
2. Do not locate the oven near areas where heat and moisture are generated as this may lower oven efficiency.
3. Covering the air vents may lead to malfunctioning, therefore a minimum clearance of 5cm is required above, to each side, and to the rear of the oven.
4. This oven conforms to EMC Radio interference Directive 89/336/EEC, however some interference may occur if it is placed too close to a radio or TV, so keep them as far apart as possible.

SLOW COOKING

A choice of two slow cook programs are available;

Slow Cook High - 300W - for the first stage of the slow cooking process.

Slow Cook Low - 150W - for continuing the slow cooking process by gently simmering the food.

This feature is convenient for busy life styles and is ideal for cooking soups, casseroles and stews.

Slow Cook Low (150W) may also be used for keeping food which is already piping hot warm.

Do not attempt to slow cook meals using only Slow Cook Low (150W), always begin cooking on Slow Cook High (300W) to bring food to simmering temperature and then continue gently cooking using Slow Cook Low (150W).

Maximum Cooking Time

1 Stage Slow Cooking - 12 hrs 2 Stage Slow Cooking - 24 hrs

The cooking time in the display will count down increments if 1 minute.eg

0H20 indicates 20 minutes 5H00 indicates 5 hours 10H40 indicates 10 hrs 40 mins.

Example: To cook a casserole using slow cook function: Slow Cook High for 30 minutes, followed by Slow Cook Low for 8 hours.

1. C Clear/Stop Press "Clear / Stop". 2. Slow Cook Low / High Press "Slow Cook" once. SLOW HIGH is displayed. 3. Down Up Press "Down / Up" until 0H30 appears in the display window. 4. Slow Cook Low / High Press "Slow Cook" once. SLOW LOW is displayed. 5. Down Up Press "Down / Up" until 8H00 appears in the display window. 6. Start Press "Start".

You can set the slow cook cooking time in increments of 10 minutes.

Important Tips for Best Results When Slow Cooking

Suitable foods for slow cooking;

Liquid dishes e.g casseroles and stews containing cubed meat or chicken joint pieces, soups, rice puddings. Root vegetables are particularly useful for slow cooking - cut into even sized pieces, the larger the size of the vegetables the longer cooking time they will require.

Most casseroles or soups are best cooked using 2 stage Slow Cooking - generally cook on Slow Cook High (300W for the initial 25 - 40 minutes, then simmer very gently on Slow Cook Low (150W) for several hours, usually a minimum of around 5 hours is required. You may stir if you wish but this is not essential.

Always ensure that the dish is covered by a close fitting lid to avoid drying out. Always ensure the dish is recovered after stirring.

Use sufficient liquid. Liquid may include water, stock, wine, fruit juice, beer or cider. The meat and vegetables should be immersed in the cooking liquid for best results and to avoid drying out.

Always use a large enough cooking dish - a large pyrex bowl covered with a microwave proof plate is ideal, this makes for easier mixing of ingredients and avoids the possibility of spillage.

Combine thickening agents e.g flour with the meat at the start of the cooking process or alternatively mix 1 - 2 tblsps of cornflour to a smooth paste with a little cold water and stir in 10 - 15 minutes before the end of cooking.

If adding cream or milk always do so at the end of cooking. Stir well after cooking.

Advantages of cooking casseroles / soups by Slow Cook:

You can start the cooking process early in the day, then go off to do other things and return to a cooked meal - there is little chance of the dish spoiling if your mealtime is a little delayed.

It is not essential to stir due to the gentle heating involved. (You may stir if you wish, it can only improve the cooking process). Due to the long, slow cooking process, tough meat is tenderised and flavours have time to fully develop.

Convenience and flexibility - meals are ready when you are - once food is thoroughly cooked and piping hot it can be kept warm using Slow Cook Low (150W).

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

OPERATION

Q. What is wrong when the oven light does not function?

A. Either:

- The door is not firmly closed. or:

• The light bulb has burned out.

Q. Why does steam come out of the air exhaust vent?

A. Steam is normally produced during cooking. The microwave oven has been designed to allow this steam to escape.

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

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

Q. Why does my oven produce smoke when I use grill, convection or dual cooking?

A. Any dirt or grease that builds up on the walls and roof of the oven will begin to smoke if not cleaned. Therefore it is vital to wipe out your oven after cooking.

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

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

Q. Why is standing time recommended after the cooking operation has been completed?

A. Standing time is very important. With microwave cooking, the heat is in the food, not in the oven. Many foods build-up enough internal heat to allow the cooking process to continue, even after the food is removed from the oven. Standing time for joints of meat, large vegetables and cakes is to allow the inside to cook completely, without overcooking the outside.

Q. Why do sparks and crackling (arcing) occur in the oven?

A. There may be several reasons why sparks and crackling within cavity (arcing) occur.

* A dish with metal parts or trim is being used. (silver or gold).

* A metal utensil has been left in the oven.

* Too much metal foil is being used.

* A metal twist-tie is present in the oven.

Q. Why does condensation appear in the oven?

A. This is normal and occurs because the food is cooking faster than the moisture can be removed from the oven. Always wipe out oven after use.

FOODS

Q. Can I check the preset oven temperature when cooking by convection?

A. Yes, you can check the set temperature by pressing "Convec. Temp." key. The temperature will then be shown in the display for 2 seconds.

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 or power level for one of the following reasons:

* Eggs vary in size.

* The initial temperature of the egg may vary depending on where it is stored.

* The shape of cooking utensils vary, which makes it necessary to vary cooking time.

* Eggs continue cooking during standing time.

Q. How are liquids, soups or casseroles prevented from boiling over?

A. Use a larger utensil than usual for cooking. If you open the oven door or press "Clear Stop", 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 gloves to remove food after cooking.

Q. Does the density of a food affect its cooking time in the microwave?

A. Yes. A dense food such as meat will take longer to cook, reheat or porous, light and airy food such as bread, puddings and cakes. This is because microwaves cannot penetrate as deeply into denser, heavier foods.

CARE AND CLEANING

It is important to keep the oven cavity and accessories clean at all times. Always clean after use.

Wipe any spills and splashes inside and outside the oven with a mild detergent solution, rinse, and wipe dry. Any food particles left on the inside of the oven, especially on the microwave outlet cover (see illustration opposite) may cause arcing or sparking due to carbonisation. Never use abrasive powders or pads.

REMOVABLE PARTS

* The glass turntable, drip tray and metal turntable can be removed for cleaning. Wipe up any spillage with a paper towel or cloth prior to removal of turntable. Rinse drip tray after use to prevent deterioration of teflon surface.
* After cleaning the control panel, touch "Clear Stop" to clear any entries that may have been entered accidentally while cleaning the panel.
