This appliance must be grounded. Connect only to properly grounded outlet. See “GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS” found on page 5.14. Install or locate this appliance only in accordance with the provided installation instructions.15. Some products such as whole eggs and sealed containers - for example, closed glass jars are able to explode and should not be heated in this oven.16. Use this appliance only for its intended use as described in this manual. Do not use corrosive chemicals or vapors in this appliance. This type of oven is specically designed to heat, cook, or dry food. It is not designed for industrial or laboratory use.17. As with any appliance, close supervision is necessary when used by children.18. Do not operate this appliance if it has a damaged cord or plug, if it is not working properly, or if it has been damaged or dropped.19. This appliance should be serviced only by qualified service personnel. Contact nearest authorized service facility for examination, repair or adjustment.10. Do not cover or block any openings on the appliance. 11. Do not store this appliance outdoors. Do not use this product near water — for example, near a kitchen sink, in a wet basement, near a swimming pool, or similar locations.12. Do not immerse cord or plug in water.13. Keep cord away from heated surfaces.14. Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter.15. Separate cleaning instructions are provided16. To reduce the risk of re in the oven cavity: a) Do not overcook food. Carefully attend appliance when paper, plastic, or other combustible materials are placed inside the oven to facilitate cooking. b) Remove wire twist-ties from paper or plastic bags before placing bag in oven. c) If materials inside the oven ignite, keep oven door closed, turn oven off, and disconnect the power cord, or shut off power at the fuse or circuit breaker panel. d) Do not use the cavity for storage purposes. Do not leave paper products, cooking utensils, or food in the cavity when not in use.17. Liquids, such as water, coffee, or tea are able to be overheated beyond the boiling point without appearing to be boiling due to surface tension of the liquid. Visible bubbling or boiling when the container is removed from the microwave oven is not always present. THIS COULD RESULT IN VERY HOT LIQUIDS SUDDENLY BOILING OVER WHEN A SPOON OR OTHER UTENSIL IS INSERTED INTO THE LIQUID.  6QTGFWEGVJGTKUMQHKPLWT[VQRGTUQPU a) Do not overheat the liquid. b) Stir the liquid both before and halfway through heating it. c) Do not use straight-sided containers with narrow necks. d) After heating, allow the container to stand in the microwave oven for a short time before removing the container. e) Use extreme care when inserting a spoon or other utensil into the container.18.

Turn the oven off before cleaning.Keep the inside of the oven clean. When food spatters or spilled liquids adhere to oven walls, wipe with a damp cloth. Mild detergent may be used if the oven gets very dirty. The use of harsh detergent or abrasives is not recommended.The outside oven surface should be cleaned with soap and water, rinsed and dried with a soft cloth. To prevent damage to the operating parts inside the oven, water should not be allowed to seep into the ventilation openings.If the Control Panel becomes wet, clean with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use harsh detergents or abrasives on Control Panel.If steam accumulates inside or around the outside of the oven door, wipe with a soft cloth. This may occur when the microwave oven is operated under high humidity conditions and in no way indicates malfunction of the unit.It is occasionally necessary to remove the glass tray for cleaning. Wash the tray in warm sudsy water or in a dishwasher.The roller guide and oven cavity floor should be cleaned regularly to avoid excessive noise.

CARE AND CLEANINGAlthough your oven is provided with safety features, it is important to observe the following:1. It is important not to defeat or tamper with safety interlocks.2. Do not place any object between the oven front face and the door or allow residue to accumulate on sealing surfaces. Wipe the sealing area frequently with a mild detergent, rinse and dry. Never use abrasive powders or keys.3. When opened, the door must not be subjected to strain, for example, a child hanging on an opened door or any load could cause the oven to fall forward to cause injury and also damage to the door. Do not operate the oven if it is damaged, until it has been repaired by a competent service technician. It is particularly important that the oven closes properly and that there is no damage to the: i) Door(bent) ii) Hinges and Hookes(broken or loosened) iii) Door seals and sealing surfaces.4. The oven should not be adjusted or repaired by anyone except a properly competent service technician.5. The oven should be cleaned regularly and any food deposits removed;6. Failure to maintain the oven in a clean condition could lead to deterioration of the surface that could adversely affect the life of the appliance and possibly result in a hazardous situation.BEFORE YOU CALL FOR SERVICERefer to following checklist, you may prevent an unnecessary service call.* The oven doesn’t work : 1. Check that the power cord is securely plugged in. 2. Check that the door is rmly closed. 3. Check that the cooking time is set. 4. Check for a blown circuit fuse or tripped main circuit breaker in your house.* Sparking in the cavity; 1. Check utensils. Metal containers or dishes with metal trim should not be used. 2. Check that metal skewers or foil does not touch the interior walls.CARE OF YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN paiticles/splatter or grease. 3. Ensure the microwave is clean and free of all food 17

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.39JCVFQGUőUVCPFKPIVKOGŒOGCP!* A : “Standing time” means that food should be removed from the oven and covered for additional time to allow it to finish cooking. This frees the oven for other cooking.39J[FQGUO[QXGPPQVCNYC[UEQQMCUHCUVCUVJGOKETQYCXGEQQMKPIIWKFGUC[U!* A : Check your cooking guide again, to make sure you’ve followed directions exactly ; and to see what might cause variations in cooking time. Cooking guide times and heat settings are suggestions, to help prevent over-cooking... the most common problem in getting used to a microwave oven.

This can damage the oven.Never use your microwave oven for home canning. The oven is not designed for proper home canning. Improperly canned food may spoil and be dangerous to consume.Always use the minimum recipe cooking time. It is better to undercook rather than overcook foods. Undercooked foods can be returned to the oven for more cooking. If food is overcooked, nothing can be done.Heat small quantities of food or foods with low moisture carefully. These can quickly dry out, burn or catch on re.Do not heat eggs in the shell. Pressure may build up and eggs can explode.Potatoes, apples, egg yolks and sausages are examples of food with non-porous skins.These must be pierced before cooking to prevent bursting.Do not attempt to deep fat fry in your microwave oven.Always allow a standing time of at least 20 seconds after the oven has been switched off to allow the temperature to even out, stir during heating, if necessary, and ALWAYS stir after heating. To prevent eruptive boiling and possible scalding, you should put a spoon or glass stick into the beverages and stir before, during and after heating.Do not leave the oven unattended while popping corn.Do not pop corn in a paper bag unless it is the commercially prepared Microwave Popcorn product. The kernels can overheat and ignite a brown paper bag.Do not put packaged Microwave Popcorn bags directly on the oven tray. Place the package on a microwave safe glass or ceramic plate to avoid overheating and cracking the oven tray.Do not exceed the Microwave Popcorn manufacturers suggested popping time. Longer popping does not yield more popcorn but it can result in scorch, burn of re. Remember, the Popcorn bag and tray can be too hot to handle. Remove with caution and use pot holders.key20
Then they pass through the cooking containers to be absorbed by the water molecules in the food, all foods contain water to a more or lesser extent.The microwaves cause the water molecules to vibrate which causes FRICTION, i.e. HEAT. This heat then cooks the food. Microwaves are also attracted to fat and sugar particles, and foods high in these will cook more quickly. Microwaves can only penetrate to a depth of 1½ - 2 inches(4-5cm) and as heat spreads through the food by conduction, just as in a traditional oven, the food cooks from the outside inwards.MICROWAVING PRINCIPLESMicrowave energy has been used in this country to cook and reheat food since early experiments with RADAR in World War ll. Microwaves are present in the atmosphere all the time, both naturally and manmade sources. Manmade sources include radar, radio, television, telecommunication links and car phones.CONVERSION CHARTSHOW MICROWAVES COOK FOODIn a microwave oven, electricity is converted into microwave by the MAGNETRON.The microwaves bounce off the metal walls and the metal door screen.Oven Cavity MagnetronWaveguideTu r n t a b l e4'(.'%6+1064#05/+55+10#$51426+10Microwave Water Molecule Absorption VibrationCOOKING INSTRUCTIONS9'+)*6/'#574'5 15 g 1/2 oz. 25 g 1 oz. 50 g 2 oz. 100 g 4 oz. 175 g 6 oz. 225 g 8 oz. 450 g 1 lb.81.7/'/'#574'5 30 ml 1 .oz. 100 ml 3 .oz. 150 ml 5 .oz.

STANDING TIMEDense foods e.g. meat, baked potatoes and cakes, require standing time(inside or outside of the oven) after cooking, to allow heat to finish conducting to cook the center completely. Wrap roasts and baked potatoes in aluminium foil while standing. Roasts need approx. 10-15 minutes, baked potatoes 5 minutes. Other foods such as plated meal, vegetables, fish etc require 2-5 minutes standing. After defrosting food, standing time should also be allowed. If food is not cooked after standing time, return to the oven and cook for additional time.MOISTURE CONTENTMany fresh foods e.g. vegetables and fruit, vary in their moisture content throughout the season, particularly to be adjusted. Dry ingredients e.g. rice, pasta, can dry out during storage so cooking times may differ.DENSITYPorous airy foods heat more quickly than dense heavy foods.CLING FILMCling film helps keep the food moist and the trapped steam assists in speeding up cooking times. Pierce before cooking to allow excess steam to escape. Always take care when removing cling film from a dish as the build-up of steam will be very hot.SHAPEEven shapes cook evenly. Food cooks better by microwave when in a round container rather than square.SPACINGFoods cook more quickly and evenly if spaced apart. NEVER pile foods on top of each other.STARTING TEMPERATUREThe colder the food, the longer it takes to heat up. Food from a fridge takes longer to reheat than food at room temperature.LIQUIDSAll liquids must be stirred before and during heating. Water especially must be stirred before and during heating, to avoid eruption. Do not heat liquids that have previously been boiled. DO NOT OVERHEAT.TURNING & STIRRINGSome foods require stirring during cooking. Meat and poultry should be turned after half the cooking time.ARRANGINGIndividual foods e.g. chicken portions or chops, should be placed on a dish so that the thicker parts are towards the outside.QUANTITYSmall quantities cook faster than large quantities, also small meals will reheat more quickly than large portions.PIERCINGThe skin or membrane on some foods will cause steam to build up during cooking. These foods must be pierced or a strip of skin should be peeled off before cooking to allow the steam to escape. Eggs, potatoes, apples, sausages etc, will all need to be pierced before cooking. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO BOIL EGGS IN THEIR SHELLS.COVERINGCover foods with microwave cling lm or a lid. Cover sh, vegetables, casseroles, soups. Do not cover cakes, sauces,baked potatoes or pastry items.COOKING TECHNIQUESCOOKING INSTRUCTIONSbaked potatoes. For this reason cooking times may have 22
DEFROSTING GUIDE兺 Do not defrost covered meat. Covering might allow cooking to take place. Always remove outer wrap and tray. Use only containers that are microwave-safe.兺 Begin defrosting whole poultry breast-side-down. Begin defrosting roasts fat-side-down.兺 The shape of the package alters the defrosting time. Shallow rectangular shapes defrost more quickly than a deep block.兺 After 1/3 of the defrost time has elapsed, check the food. Toy may wish to turn over, break apart, rearrange or remove thawed portions of the food.兺 During defrost, the oven will prompt you to turn the over. At this point, open oven door and check the food. Follow the techniques listed below for optimum defrost results. Then, close oven door, touch the START key to complete defrosting.兺 When defrosted, food should be cool, but softened in all areas. If still slightly icy, return to microwave oven very briefly, or let stand a few minutes. After defrosting, allow food to stand 5-60 minutes if there are any icy areas. Poultry and sh may be placed under running cool water until defrosted¹ Turn over : Roast, ribs, whole poultry, turkey breasts, hot dogs, sausages, steaks, or chops.¹ Rearrange : Break apart or separate steaks, chops, hamburger patties, ground meat, chicken or seafood pieces, chunks of meat such as stew beef.¹ Shield : Use small strips of aluminum foil to protect thin areas or edges of unevenly shaped foods such as chicken wings. To prevent arcing, do not allow foil to come within 1-inch of oven walls or door.¹ Remove : To prevent cooking, thawed portions should be removed from the oven at this point. This may shorten defrost time for food weighing less than 3 lbs.(1350g).Cooking chartCOOKING INSTRUCTIONSITEM POWER LEVEL COOKING TIMEPER LB./450G SPECIAL INSTRUCTION/'#6Beef roast - Rare- Medium - well donePork roastBacon roastP-80P-80P-80P-HIP-HI6-8 min.7-9 min.9-11 min.10-13 min.8-10 min.- Chilled meat and poultry should be removed from the refrigerator at least 30 minutes before cooking.- Always let the meat and poultry stand, covered after cooking.217.64;Whole chickenPortions chickenBreast (boned)P-HIP-80P-804-9 min.5-7 min.6-8 min.(+5*Fish FilletsWhole Mackerel, Cleaned and preparedWhole Trout, Cleaned & PreparedSalmon steaksP-HIP-HIP-HIP-HI3-5 min.3-5 min.4-6 min.4-6 min.- Brush a little oil or melted butter over the sh, or add 15~30ml(1-2 tbsp) lemon juice, wine, stock, milk or water.- Always let the sh stand, covered, after cooking 016' : The above times should be regarded only as a guide.
