Operation Instruction

★ Operation Instruction for HW25800K-03G/03BG/01AG

Navigation

1. Plug in the power supply.
2. Put food onto the glass tray, and close the oven door. Be careful that never switch on the appliance without food inside, in order to avoid damage to the oven.
3. Choose cooking mode.

a. The grill rack must be taken out if "Microwave" function is chosen.
b. Make sure that the distance between food and heating tube must be 5cm at least if combination function is chosen. The food must be turned over during operation.

1. Set cooking time.
2. The microwave oven starts cooking with set program. The program will pause if the microwave oven door is opened, on the contrary the microwave oven will resume operation after "Start" button is pressed.
3. It's definitely suggested to wear glove to take or turn over food. Do not touch the walls of the cavity.
4. In combination mode or grill mode, do not touch the top, the door, and both sides of the oven because they are very hot. Only the control panel can be touched.
5. When food is cooked, the buzzer beeps for 3 times before the oven stops working, and the indication light is off.

Initial Use

When using microwave oven for the first time, you may catch bad smell and even see white smoke from the oven. It's a normal phenomenon, and after using it for several times, it will not happen again. Be sure that the door and window open in your room to keep good ventilation. Anyway, you can take the following steps to avoid this phenomenon:
1. Before initial use choosing GRILL mode to dry cook for several times.

Dry cook is only available in GRILL mode. Not for MICROWAVE mode or a combination mode.

1. Before initial use choosing MICROWAVE mode and putting a glass of water on the glass tray to cook in high power for several times.

● Microwave and Grill

1. Microwave is penetrable. It can penetrate into the food and cook the food in a short time without loosing water of the food. However, it cannot turn the surface of food brown and the food crispy.
2. The energy of grill function comes from radiation of the heating tube, which can make the surface of food brown. But if the food is too thick, it could be possible that the inside of food remains uncooked while its surface is charred.

Therefore, the combination of microwave and grill can take both advantages to make the food look good and taste good.

Do not use microwave when the oven is empty-loaded. And never use metal utensils that may cause spark or potential risks.

Defrost Function

It's one of the characteristics of microwave oven to defrost food. Microwave defrosts is quicker than electric ovens and safer than defrosting at room temperature, since no harmful bacteria will breed in microwave. Turn the function knob to choose defrost function, and then turn the timer knob to set defrost time according to the weight of food. As microwave can not penetrate 4cm from one side, you have to turn over the food from time to time if it's large and thick. It's suggested to take out the defrosted part and make the rest of food easier to defrost; otherwise it's possible that the surface of food gets defrosted, while its inside is still frozen.

1. It's very necessary to turn over the food during defrosting in order to ensure the food defrosted averagely.

2. Defrosting is done when the food can be cut off by knife.

Cooking Tips

● Cooking by Microwave

★ Placement of food
- Put the thick part outward, and the thin part inward (in the middle).
★ Setting Cooking Time
- Set a short cooking time first to see whether the food is cooked well. If not, set longer time to continue cooking. If a long time is set at the beginning the food might be burnt.
★ Covering of Food
- Cover the food with cling film, lid or napkin that are applicable for microwave. This could prevent splash of liquid and make the food cooked averagely.
★ Partial Wrapping of Food
- Partial wrapping can keep the thin part of food from being overcooked. Wrap these parts with aluminum foil for defrosting.
★ Stirring of Food
- If necessary, stir the food for one or two times during cooking.
★ Turning of Food
- When cooking foods such as chicken leg, hamburger or steaks, turn the food over when it's half done in order to make it cooked averagely.
★ Re-placement of Food
- The position of food shall be changed during cooking, in order to make the food averagely cooked. For example, exchange the positions between the outward part and inward part, or between the upper part and lower part.
★ Keeping of Food
- When the food is cooked, keep it in the oven for a while, better with some coverings. If possible, take the food out of oven and stir it.
