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.

• 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:

• 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 13.)

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

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. Cabinet is covered with a protective film which should be removed to fully show the intended colour and finish.
8. Plug your oven into a standard household outlet. Be sure that your microwave oven is the only appliance on the circuit.

7.5cm 7.5cm 7.5cm OPEN

AUTOMATIC DEFROST BY WEIGHT

The Auto Defrost by Weight feature is an accurate defrosting method for frozen food up to 2.9 kg. The oven automatically selects 1 kg. To enter a different weight (other than 1 kg), use the number keypads.

Pause

This feature has a built-in pause mechanism to allow for checking and rearranging the food. The oven stops at the end of the first defrost period (about 1/4 of the total defrost time). If you do not open the door at the pause, the oven restarts after 5 minutes and commences the second defrost period.

Auto Defrosting chart appears on page 23.

For manual defrosting using Time Cooking, see page 10.

Defrosting Tips:

• Check the food during defrosting.
• Remove frozen food from its original paper or plastic package (wrapper). When it is difficult to remove the wrap, remove it at pause.
• Place foods in a flat microwave-safe baking dish or roasting rack to catch drippings.
• Food should still be somewhat icy in the centre when removed from the oven.
  • The Auto Defrost menu includes standing time.

Example: To defrost 1.2 kg of chicken pieces:

1.

Touch AUTO DEFROST.

2.

Enter the weight by touching 1 and then 2. DEF

3.

Touch START.

1. The oven stops automatically at pause. Separate, rearrange or turn food over.

5.

Touch START.

Remember:

• The menu automatically selects 1 kg if the weight is not entered.
- 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.

TIME COOKING

This basic microwave cooking method allows you to cook food for a desired time. In addition to the HI (maximum) power level, you can select different microwave power from 9 levels, 1 (10% of total power) to 9 (90% power) for the foods that require slower cooking. The oven also provides power level 0 (no power).

Foods with high moisture content should be cooked on maximum power, as this is the fastest cooking method and best maintains the natural flavour and texture of the foods.

To check the power level during cooking, touch POWER LEVEL. The power level appears in the display window.

Manual Defrosting

For manual defrosting (without using Auto Defrost features), use power level 3. To speed up the defrosting of dense foods over 450 g, you may start on HI for 3 minutes, then reduce to the level 3.

Example: To cook at power level 8 for 40 seconds:

1.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

OPERATION

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

A. There may be several reasons why the oven light does not glow. Perhaps:

• Door is not closed and locked. Push firmly to be sure that door is locked properly.
  • The light bulb has burned out.

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.

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. The peel has not been removed from the top half of each apple to allow for expansion of the interior of the apple during cooking. As in regular cooking methods, the interior of the apple 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 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, touch STOP/CLEAR to clear any entries that might have been entered accidentally while cleaning the panel.

BEFORE CALLING FOR SERVICE

You can often correct operating problems yourself. If your microwave oven fails to work properly, locate the operating problem in the chart below and try the solutions marked for each problem.

If the microwave oven still does not work properly, contact the nearest authorized service centre.

PROBLEMS

Oven will not start Err.displays Arcing or sparking Incorrect time Unevenly cooked foods Overcooked foods Undercooked foods Improper defrosting POSSIBLE CAUSES Is power cord plugged in? Is door closed? Cooking time not set. Touch STOP/CLEAR. Use microwave-safe cookware only. Completely defrost food. Turn or stir food. Reset clock. Do not operate with oven empty. Use correct time/cooking power level. Check to see that oven ventilation ports are not restricted.

COOKING 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

The more food being cooked, the longer you will have to cook it. As a general rule, when doubling a recipe, increase the cooking time by about 50 percent. When cutting a recipe in half, reduce the time by about 40 percent.

Density

Dense foods, such as potatoes, roasts and carrots, absorb microwave energy less quickly than porous foods such as ground beef or mashed potatoes. Therefore, denser foods take longer to cook.

Shape and Size

Small pieces cook faster than large ones. For even cooking, it is important to have all the pieces the same size. Evenly shaped pieces, round or doughnut shaped, microwave best. When cooking items of varying thickness, arrange the thick portion near the outer edge of the dish.

Moisture, Sugar and Fat

Food high in moisture, sugar or fat cook faster than foods that are low in these substances. Add a minimum of liquid to moist 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

Some foods require special attention when cooked in the microwave oven. Delicate foods such as eggs, cheese, mayonnaise, etc. cook so quickly, they should be watched carefully.

Microwave Cooking Techniques

Arranging: Arrange foods in a circular pattern, when possible.

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

Covering: Covering speeds heating and prevents spattering.

Stirring: To help food cook more quickly and evenly.

Turning Over: To help larger foods such as roasts or whole chickens cook more evenly.

Reheating: Place food that is denser/larger/thicker to the outer edge and the smaller/thinner or more porous food to the centre.

Shielding: To prevent overcooking, thin or bony areas can be protected with small strips of aluminium foil.

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

Defrosting

The microwave's ability to defrost is one of its most appreciated features. Many of the same principles and techniques that apply to microwave cooking also apply to microwave 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 to internal temperatures 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

130°F (54°C). Rare beef

140°F (60°C). Medium beef

150°F (66°C). Vegetables, hot drinks, soups, casseroles

165°F (74°C). Well done lamb, pork

170°F (77°C). Poultry parts, whole fish, Well done beef

APPETIZERS

CONVERTING RECIPES

Most hot appetizers adapt well to microwave cooking, the exception being those wrapped in pastry. Pastry requires the hot environment of the conventional oven to become crisp.

- Toppings for canapés can be made ahead and then placed on bread or crackers just before heating. This guarantees a crispness.

- Cover appetizers or dips only when called for by a recipe. Use casserole lids, wax paper, plastic wrap, or paper towel.

- Appetizers and dips that contain cheese, mayonnaise and other delicate ingredients are usually heated on power level 1 or 2. A higher setting might cause separation or drying.

SOUPS AND SANDWICHES

A large variety of sandwich combinations can be made in your microwave oven. Because sandwiches heat quickly, be careful not to overcook them — the bread can become tough and chewy. Heat breads until warm, not hot, and cheese until it just begins to melt. Let the following tips guide you when adapting or creating your own sandwiches.

CONVERTING SANDWICH RECIPES

- Heat sandwiches on white paper towels or paper plates. To prevent splattering, as well as to absorb steam and prevent sogginess, you can wrap each sandwich in a paper towel. Remove wrapping immediately after warming. It takes less than 1 minute to heat most sandwiches. Heat on power level 8.

- Thinly sliced meat heats better than thickly sliced meat. The slower-cooking thick slices often cause the bread to overcook before the meat is hot.

- When cooking canned soups, remove from can. Use microwave-safe dish. Add milk or water as directed on can. Cover dish.

- Stir cream-style soup halfway through cooking time. Let stand, covered, 3 minutes before serving.

MEATS, POULTRY AND FISH

PREPARATION

Use a microwave-safe baking dish, casserole, etc. to cook meat, poultry and fish.

Frozen meat, poultry and fish should be completely thawed.

Wash poultry and fish in cool water.

Arrange small items in a single layer in dish and 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 and seasonings as desired.

Add salt after cooking if necessary.

Kitchen bouquet with butter may be used to obtain "cooked" colour of meats and poultry.

Aluminium 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 DONENESS

Beef: The colour inside meat indicates doneness. Rare roast should be red inside.

Medium is pink and grey indicates well done.

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

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

Fish and Seafood: Should be opaque in colour 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 centre 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.

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.
