CARE OF YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN
The 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 could
adversely affect the life of the appliance and possibly result in a hazardous situation.
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.
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.
Simply wipe the bottom surface of the oven with mild
detergent water or window cleaner and dry. The
roller guide may be washed in mild sudsy water.
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.
ROLLER GUIDE
Glass Tray
The ROLLER GUIDE and oven floor should be
cleaned frequently to prevent excessive noise.
The ROLLER GUIDE MUST ALWAYS be used
for cooking together with the Glass Tray.
GLASS TRAY
DO NOT operate the oven without the Glass Tray
in place.

* 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.
* 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 circuit
breaker in your house.
If there is still a problem, contact the service station.
A list of these stations is included in the oven.
CARE AND CLEANING
4. The oven should not be adjusted or repaired by
anyone except a properly competent service
technician.
Although 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.
5. The oven should be cleaned regularly and any food
deposits removed;
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 pads.
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;
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.
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
* Q : I accidentally ran my microwave oven
without any food in it. Is it damaged?
* A : Running the oven empty for a short time will
not damage the oven. However, it is not
recommended.
* Q : What does “standing time” mean?
* 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.
* Q : Can the oven be used with the glass tray or
roller guide removed?
* A : No. Both the glass tray and roller guide must
always be used in the oven before cooking.
* Q : Why does my oven not always cook as fast
as the microwave cooking guide says?
* 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.
Variations in the size, shape and weights and
dimensions could require longer cooking time.
Use your own judgement along with the
cooking guide suggestions to check whether
the food has been properly cooked just as you
would do with a conventional cooker.
* Q : Can I open the door when the oven is
operating?
* A : The door can be opened anytime during the
cooking operation. Then microwave energy will
be instantly switched off and the time setting
will maintain until the door is closed.
* Q : Why do I have moisture in my microwave
oven after cooking?
* A : The moisture on the side of your microwave
oven is normal. It is caused by steam from
cooking food hitting the cool oven surface.
* Q : Will the microwave oven be damaged if it
operates while empty?
* A : Yes. Never run it empty.
* Q : Does microwave energy pass through the
viewing screen in the door?
* A : No. The metal screen bounces back the energy
to the oven cavity. The holes are made to allow
light to pass through. They do not let
microwave energy pass through.
* Q : Can I operate my microwave oven without
the turntable or turn the turntable over to
hold a large dish?
* A : No. If you remove or turn over the turntable,
you will get poor cooking results. Dishes used
in your oven must fit on the turntable.
* Q : Why do eggs sometimes pop?
* A : When baking or poaching eggs, the yolk may
pop due to steam build-up inside the yolk
membrane. To prevent this, simply pierce the
yolk with a toothpick before cooking. Never
cook eggs without piercing their shells.
* Q : Is it normal for the turntable to turn in either
direction?
* A : Yes. The turntable rotates clockwise or
counterclockwise, depending on the rotation of
the motor when the cooking cycle begins.
* Q : Why this 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 : Can I pop popcorn in my microwave oven?
How do I get the best results?
* A : Yes. Pop packaged microwave popcorn
following manufacture’s guidelines. Do not use
regular paper bags. Use the “listening test” by
stopping the oven as soon as the popping
slows to a “pop” every 1 or 2 seconds. Do not
repop unpopped kernels. Do not pop popcorn
in glass cookware.

COOKING INSTRUCTIONS
Utensil Guide
Only 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
or absorbed 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. The following table lists various of utensil and indicates whether and
how they should be used in a microwave oven.

Do not operate the oven if door seals or sealing
surfaces are damaged; or if door is bent; or if hinges
are loose or broken.
Do not operate the oven empty. This will damage the
oven.
Do not attempt to dry clothes, newspapers or other
materials in the oven. They may catch on fire.
Do not use recycled paper products as they may
contain impurities which may cause sparks or fires.
Do not hit or strike the control panel with hard objects.
This can damage the oven.
Do not attempt to defeat or tamper with safety
interlocks.
Do not place any object between the oven front frame
and the door or allow residue to build up on sealing
surfaces. Wipe with a mild detergent, rinse and dry.
Never use abrasive powders or pads.
Do not subject the oven door to strain or weight such
as a child hanging on an open door.
This could cause the oven to fall forward resulting in
injury to you and damage to the oven.
Food
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 fire. Remember, the Popcorn
bag and tray can be too hot to handle. Remove with
caution and use pot holders.
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
fire.
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
ARCING
If you see arcing, turn the knob timer the point “0” and correct the problem.
Arcing is the microwave term for sparks in the oven.
Arcing is caused by:
• Metal, such as twist-ties, poultry pins, or gold rimmed
dishes, in the microwave.
• Recycled paper towels containing small metal pieces
being used in the microwave.
• Metal or foil touching the side of the oven.
• Foil not molded to food (upturned edges act like
antennas).

MICROWAVING PRINCIPLES
Microwave 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.
HOW MICROWAVES COOK FOOD
Oven Cavity
Turntable
Magnetron
Waveguide
TRANSMISSION
In a microwave oven,
electricity is converted
into microwave by the
MAGNETRON.
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.
REFLECTION
ABSORPTION
The microwaves bounce
off the metal walls and
the metal door screen.
Microwave
Water Molecule
Absorption
Vibration
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 11/2
- 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.

COOKING TECHNIQUES
STANDING TIME
STARTING TEMPERATURE
Dense foods e.g. meat, jacket 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 meat joints and jacket potatoes
in aluminium foil while standing. Meat joints need approx.
10-15 minutes, jacket 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.
The colder the food, the longer it takes to heat up. Food
from a fridge takes longer to reheat than food at room
temperature.
MOISTURE CONTENT
Some foods require stirring during cooking. Meat and
poultry should be turned after half the cooking time.
LIQUIDS
All 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 & STIRRING
Many fresh foods e.g. vegetables and fruit, vary in their
moisture content throughout the season, particularly
jacket potatoes. For this reason cooking times may have
to be adjusted. Dry ingredients e.g. rice, pasta, can dry
out during storage so cooking times may differ.
ARRANGING
Individual foods e.g. chicken portions or chops, should
be placed on a dish so that the thicker parts are towards
the outside.
DENSITY
QUANTITY
Porous airy foods heat more quickly than dense heavy
foods.
Small quantities cook faster than large quantities, also
small meals will reheat more quickly than large portions.
CLING FILM
PIERCING
Cling 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.
The 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.
SHAPE
Even shapes cook evenly. Food cooks better by
microwave when in a round container rather than square.
COVERING
Cover foods with microwave cling film or a lid. Cover fish,
vegetables, casseroles, soups. Do not cover cakes,
sauces, jacket potatoes or pastry items.
SPACING
Foods cook more quickly and evenly if spaced apart.
NEVER pile foods on top of each other.
