15CARE OF YOUR MICROWAVE OVENTurn the oven off before cleaning.Keep the inside of the oven clean. When foodspatters or spilled liquids adhere to oven walls, wipewith a damp cloth. Mild detergent may be used if theoven gets very dirty. The use of harsh detergent or abrasives is notrecommended.The outside oven surface should be cleaned withsoap and water, rinsed and dried with a soft cloth.To prevent damage to the operating parts inside theoven, water should not be allowed to seep into theventilation openings.If the Control Panel becomes wet, clean with a soft,dry cloth. Do not use harsh detergents or abrasiveson Control Panel.If steam accumulates inside or around the outside ofthe oven door, wipe with a soft cloth. This may occurwhen the microwave oven is operated under highhumidity conditions and in no way indicatesmalfunction of the unit.It is occasionally necessary to remove the glass trayfor cleaning. Wash the tray in warm sudsy water or ina dishwasher.The roller guide and oven cavity floor should becleaned regularly to avoid excessive noise. Simply wipe the bottom surface of the oven with milddetergent water or window cleaner and dry. The rollerguide may be washed in mild sudsy water.1234567ROLLER GUIDEGlass Tray Roller GuideThe ROLLER GUIDE and oven floor should becleaned frequently to prevent excessive noise.The ROLLER GUIDE MUST ALWAYS be used forcooking together with the Glass Tray.12GLASS TRAYDO NOT operate the oven without the Glass Tray inplace.DO NOT use any other Glass Tray with this oven.If Glass Tray is hot, ALLOW TO COOL before cleaningor placing it in water.DO NOT cook directly on the Glass Tray.(Except for popcorn)1234The oven should be cleaned regularly and any food deposits removed.Failure to maintain the oven in a clean condition could lead to deterioration of the surface that couldadversely affect the life of the appliance and possibly result in a hazardous situation.
16CARE 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 safetyinterlocks.2. Do not place any object between the oven front faceand the door or allow residue to accumulate on sealingsurfaces. Wipe the sealing area frequently with a milddetergent, rinse and dry. Never use abrasive powdersor pads.3. When opened, the door must not be subjected tostrain, for example, a child hanging on an opened dooror any load could cause the oven to fall forward tocause injury and also damage to the door. Do notoperate the oven if it is damaged, until it has beenrepaired by a competent service technician. It isparticularly important that the oven closes properly andthat 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 byanyone except a properly competent servicetechnician.5. The oven should be cleaned regularly and any fooddeposits removed;6. Failure to maintain the oven in a clean condition couldlead to deterioration of the surface that could adverselyaffect the life of the appliance and possibly result in ahazardous 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 firmly closed.3. Check that the cooking time is set.4. Check for a blown circuit fuse or tripped main circuitbreaker in your house.* Sparking in the cavity;1. Check utensils. Metal containers or dishes withmetal trim should not be used.2. Check that metal skewers or foil does not touch theinterior walls.If there is still a problem, contact the service station.A list of these stations is included in the oven.
17QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS*Q : I accidentally ran my microwave oven withoutany food in it. Is it damaged?*A : Running the oven empty for a short time will notdamage the oven. However, it is not recommended.*Q : Can the oven be used with the glass tray orroller guide removed?*A : No. Both the glass tray and roller guide must alwaysbe used in the oven before cooking.*Q : Can I open the door when the oven isoperating?*A : The door can be opened anytime during thecooking operation. Then microwave energy will beinstantly switched off and the time setting willmaintain until the door is closed.*Q : Why do I have moisture in my microwave ovenafter cooking?*A : The moisture on the side of your microwave oven isnormal. It is caused by steam from cooking foodhitting the cool oven surface.*Q : Does microwave energy pass through theviewing screen in the door?*A : No. The metal screen bounces back the energy tothe oven cavity. The holes are made to allow light topass through. They do not let microwave energypass through.*Q : Why do eggs sometimes pop?*A : When baking or poaching eggs, the yolk may popdue to steam build-up inside the yolk membrane. Toprevent this, simply pierce the yolk with a toothpickbefore cooking. Never cook eggs without piercingtheir shells.*Q : Why this standing time recommended after thecooking operation has been completed?*A : Standing time is very important.With microwave cooking, the heat is in the food, notin the oven. Many foods build up enough internalheat to allow the cooking process to continue, evenafter the food is removed from the oven. Standingtime for joints of meat, large vegetables and cakesis to allow the inside to cook completely, withoutovercooking the outside.*Q : What does “standing time” mean?*A : “Standing time” means that food should be removedfrom the oven and covered for additional time toallow it to finish cooking. This frees the oven forother cooking.*Q : Why does my oven not always cook as fast asthe microwave cooking guide says?*A : Check your cooking guide again, to make sureyou’ve followed directions exactly ; and to see whatmight cause variations in cooking time. Cookingguide times and heat settings are suggestions, tohelp prevent over-cooking... the most commonproblem in getting used to a microwave oven.Variations in the size, shape and weights anddimensions could require longer cooking time. Useyour own judgement along with the cooking guidesuggestions to check whether the food has beenproperly cooked just as you would do with aconventional cooker.*Q : Will the microwave oven be damaged if itoperates while empty?*A : Yes. Never run it empty.*Q : Can I operate my microwave oven without theturntable or turn the turntable over to hold alarge dish?*A : No. If you remove or turn over the turntable, you willget poor cooking results. Dishes used in your ovenmust fit on the turntable.*Q : Is it normal for the turntable to turn in eitherdirection?*A : Yes. The turntable rotates clockwise orcounterclockwise, depending on the rotation of themotor when the cooking cycle begins.*Q : Can I pop popcorn in my microwave oven? Howdo I get the best results?*A : Yes. Pop packaged microwave popcorn followingmanufacture’s guidelines. Do not use regular paperbags. Use the “listening test” by stopping the ovenas soon as the popping slows to a “pop” every 1 or2 seconds. Do not repop unpopped kernels. Do notpop popcorn in glass cookware.
18COOKING INSTRUCTIONSUtensil GuideOnly use utensils that are suitable for use in microwave ovens.To cook food in the microwave oven, the microwaves must be able to penetrate the food, without being reflected orabsorbed by the dish used. Care must therefore be taken choosing the utensil. If the utensil is marked microwave-safe, you do not need to worry.

19USE YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN SAFELYGeneral UseFoodARCINGIf you see arcing, open the door and correct the problem.Arcing is the microwave term for sparks in the oven.Arcing is caused by:• Metal or foil touching the side of the oven.• Foil not molded to food (upturned edges act likeantennas).• Metal, such as twist-ties, poultry pins, or gold rimmeddishes, in the microwave.• Recycled paper towels containing small metal piecesbeing used in the microwave.Do not attempt to defeat or tamper with safetyinterlocks.Do not place any object between the oven front frameand the door or allow residue to build up on sealingsurfaces. Wipe with a mild detergent, rinse and dry.Never use abrasive powders or pads.Do not subject the oven door to strain or weight suchas a child hanging on an open door.This could cause the oven to fall forward resulting ininjury to you and damage to the oven.Do not operate the oven if door seals or sealingsurfaces are damaged; or if door is bent; or if hingesare loose or broken.Do not operate the oven empty. This will damage theoven.Do not attempt to dry clothes, newspapers or othermaterials in the oven. They may catch on fire.Do not use recycled paper products as they maycontain impurities which may cause sparks or fires.Do not hit or strike the control panel with hard objects.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 dangerousto consume.Always use the minimum recipe cooking time. It isbetter to undercook rather than overcook foods. Undercooked foods can be returned to the oven formore cooking. If food is overcooked, nothing can bedone.Heat small quantities of food or foods with lowmoisture carefully. These can quickly dry out, burn orcatch on fire.Do not heat eggs in the shell. Pressure may build upand eggs can explode.Potatoes, apples, egg yolks and sausages areexamples of food with non-porous skins.These must be pierced before cooking to preventbursting.Do not attempt to deep fat fry in your microwave oven.Always allow a standing time of at least 20 secondsafter the oven has been switched off to allow thetemperature to even out, stir during heating, ifnecessary, and ALWAYS stir after heating. To preventeruptive boiling and possible scalding, you should puta spoon or glass stick into the beverages and stirbefore, during and after heating.Do not leave the oven unattended while popping corn.Do not pop corn in a paper bag unless it is thecommercially prepared Microwave Popcorn product.The kernels can overheat and ignite a brown paperbag.Do not put packaged Microwave Popcorn bags directlyon the oven tray. Place the package on a microwavesafe glass or ceramic plate to avoid overheating andcracking the oven tray.Do not exceed the Microwave Popcorn manufacturerssuggested popping time. Longer popping does not yield more popcorn but it canresult in scorch, burn of fire. Remember, the Popcornbag and tray can be too hot to handle. Remove withcaution and use pot holders.
20MICROWAVING PRINCIPLESMicrowave energy has been used in this country to cook and reheat food since early experiments with RADAR inWorld War ll. Microwaves are present in the atmosphere all the time, both naturally and manmade sources. Manmadesources include radar, radio, television, telecommunication links and car phones.CONVERSION CHARTSIn a microwave oven,electricity is convertedinto microwave by theMAGNETRON.REFLECTIONTRANSMISSION Then they pass through thecooking containers to beabsorbed by the watermolecules in the food, allfoods contain water to amore or lesser extent.ABSORPTIONThe microwaves cause the water molecules to vibratewhich causes FRICTION, i.e. HEAT. This heat thencooks the food. Microwaves are also attracted to fat andsugar particles, and foods high in these will cook morequickly. Microwaves can only penetrate to a depth of 11/2- 2 inches(4-5cm) and as heat spreads through the foodby conduction, just as in a traditional oven, the foodcooks from the outside inwards.WEIGHT MEASURES15 g 1/2oz.25 g 1 oz.50 g 2 oz.100 g 4 oz.175 g 6 oz.225 g 8 oz.450 g 1 lb.HOW MICROWAVES COOK FOOD▲▲▲VOLUME MEASURES30 ml 1 fl.oz.100 ml 3 fl.oz.150 ml 5 fl.oz.

21STANDING TIMEDense foods e.g. meat, jacket potatoes and cakes,require standing time(inside or outside of the oven) aftercooking, to allow heat to finish conducting to cook thecenter completely. Wrap meat joints and jacket potatoesin aluminium foil while standing. Meat joints need approx.10-15 minutes, jacket potatoes 5 minutes. Other foodssuch as plated meal, vegetables, fish etc require 2-5minutes standing. After defrosting food, standing timeshould also be allowed. If food is not cooked afterstanding time, return to the oven and cook for additionaltime.MOISTURE CONTENTMany fresh foods e.g. vegetables and fruit, vary in theirmoisture content throughout the season, particularlyjacket potatoes. For this reason cooking times may haveto be adjusted. Dry ingredients e.g. rice, pasta, can dryout during storage so cooking times may differ.DENSITYPorous airy foods heat more quickly than dense heavyfoods.CLING FILMCling film helps keep the food moist and the trappedsteam assists in speeding up cooking times. Piercebefore cooking to allow excess steam to escape. Alwaystake care when removing cling film from a dish as thebuild-up of steam will be very hot.SHAPEEven shapes cook evenly. Food cooks better bymicrowave 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. Foodfrom a fridge takes longer to reheat than food at roomtemperature.LIQUIDSAll liquids must be stirred before and during heating.Water especially must be stirred before and duringheating, to avoid eruption. Do not heat liquids that havepreviously been boiled. DO NOT OVERHEAT.TURNING & STIRRINGSome foods require stirring during cooking. Meat andpoultry should be turned after half the cooking time.ARRANGINGIndividual foods e.g. chicken portions or chops, shouldbe placed on a dish so that the thicker parts are towardsthe outside.QUANTITYSmall quantities cook faster than large quantities, alsosmall meals will reheat more quickly than large portions.PIERCINGThe skin or membrane on some foods will cause steamto build up during cooking. These foods must be piercedor a strip of skin should be peeled off before cooking toallow the steam to escape. Eggs, potatoes, apples,sausages etc, will all need to be pierced before cooking.DO NOT ATTEMPT TO BOIL EGGS IN THEIRSHELLS.COVERINGCover foods with microwave cling film or a lid. Cover fish,vegetables, casseroles, soups. Do not cover cakes,sauces, jacket potatoes or pastry items.COOKING TECHNIQUES
22DEFROSTING GUIDEሪDo not defrost covered meat. Covering might allowcooking to take place. Always remove outer wrapand tray. Use only containers that are microwave-safe.ሪBegin defrosting whole poultry breast-side-down.Begin defrosting roasts fat-side-down.ሪThe shape of the package alters the defrosting time.Shallow rectangular shapes defrost more quicklythan a deep block.ሪAfter 1/3 of the defrost time has elapsed, check thefood. Toy may wish to turn over, break apart,rearrange or remove thawed portions of the food.ሪDuring defrost, the oven will prompt you to turn theover. At this point, open oven door and check thefood. Follow the techniques listed below for optimumdefrost results.Then, close oven door, touch the START pad tocomplete defrosting.ሪWhen defrosted, food should be cool, but softened inall areas. If still slightly icy, return to microwave ovenvery briefly, or let stand a few minutes. Afterdefrosting, allow food to stand 5-60 minutes if thereare any icy areas.Poultry and fish may be placed under running coolwater until defrosted➪Turn over : Roast, ribs, whole poultry, turkeybreasts, hot dogs, sausages, steaks, or chops.➪Rearrange : Break apart or separate steaks, chops,hamburger patties, ground meat, chicken or seafoodpieces, chunks of meat such as stew beef.➪Shield : Use small strips of aluminum foil to protectthin areas or edges of unevenly shaped foods suchas chicken wings. To prevent arching, do not allowfoil to come within 1-inch of oven walls or door.➪Remove : To prevent cooking, thawed portionsshould be removed from the oven at this point. Thismay shorten defrost time for food weighing less than3 lbs.(1350g).Item Power Cooking Time Special InstructionLevel Per lb./450gMEATBeef joint -Rare P-80 6-8 min.-Medium P-80 7-9 min.-well done P-80 9-11 min.Pork Joint P-HI 10-13 min.Bacon joint P-HI 8-10 min.POULTRYWhole chicken P-HI 4-9 min.Portions chicken P-80 5-7 min.Breast (boned) P-80 6-8 min.FISHFish Fillets P-HI 3-5 min.Whole Mackerel, P-HI 3-5 min.Cleaned and preparedWhole Trout, Cleaned P-HI 4-6 min.& PreparedSalmon steaks P-HI 4-6 min.NOTE : The above times should be regarded only as a guide.
