IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ CAREFULLY AND KEEP FOR FUTURE REFERENCE
WARNING : To prevent fire, burns, electric shock and other
warnings:
Listed below are, as with all appliances, certain rules to follow
and safeguards to assure high performance from this oven:
1. Do not use the oven for any reason
other than food preparation, such as
for drying clothes, paper, or any other
nonfood items or for sterilizing
purposes.
2. Do not use the oven when empty,
this could damage the oven.
3. Do not use the oven cavity for any
type of storage, such as papers,
cookbook, cookware, etc.
4. Do not operate the oven without the
glass tray in place. Be sure it is
properly sitting on the rotating base.
5. Make sure you remove caps or lids
prior to cooking when you cook food
sealed in bottles.
6. Do not put foreign material between
the oven surface and door. It could
result in excessive leakage of
microwave energy.
7. Do not use recycled paper products
for cooking. They may contain
impurities which could cause sparks
and/or fires when used during
cooking.
8. Do not pop popcorn unless popped
in a microwave approved popcorn
popper or unless it's commercially
packaged and recommended
especially for microwave ovens.
Microwave popped corn produces a
lower yield than conventional
popping; there will be a number of
unpopped kernels. Do not use oil
unless specified by the manufacturer.
9. Do not cook any food surrounded by
a membrane, such as egg yolks,
potatoes, chicken livers, etc., without
first piercing them several times with
a fork.
10. Do not pop popcorn longer than the
manufacturer's directions. (popping
time is generally below 3 minutes).
Longer cooking does not yield more
popped corn.
11. Over cooking can cause food to
carbonize.
Also, the cooking tray can becom too
hot to handle or may break.
12. If smoke is emitted, switch off or
unplug the appliance and keep the
door closed in order to stifle any
flames.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
13. When heating food in plastic or paper
containers, keep an eye on the oven
due to the possibility of ignition.
14. The contents of feeding bottles and
baby food jars shall be stirred or
shaken and the temperature
checked before consumption, in order
to avoid burns.
15. Always test the temperature of food
or drink which has been heated in a
microwave oven before you give it to
somebody, especially to children or
elderly people. This is important
because things which have been
heated in a microwave oven carry on
getting hotter even though the
microwave oven cooking has
stopped.
16. Eggs in their shell and whole hard-
boiled eggs should not be heated in
microwave ovens since they may
explode, even after microwave
heating has ended;
17. Keep the waveguide cover clean at
all times. Wipe the oven interior with a
soft damp cloth after each use. If you
leave grease or fat anywhere in the
cavity it may overheat, smoke or even
catch fire when next using the oven.
18. Never heat oil or fat for deep frying as
you cannot control the temperature
and doing so may lead to overheating
and fire.
19. 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.
To reduce the risk of injury to persons:
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.
20. Children should be supervised to
ensure that they do not play with the
appliance.
21. Only use utensils that are suitable for
use in microwave ovens.
22. Microwave heating of beverages can
result in delayed eruptive boiling,
therefore care must be taken when
handling the container.

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.
3. 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.
Ensure all food deposit are cleaned off, as
they can carbonized if left.
4. If the Control Panel becomes wet, clean with a
soft, dry cloth. Do not use harsh detergents or
abrasives on Control Panel.
5. 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.
6. It is occasionally necessary to remove the
glass tray for cleaning. Wash the tray in warm
sudsy water or in a dishwasher.
7. 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 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.
1. The ROLLER GUIDE and oven floor should be
cleaned frequently to prevent excessive noise.
2. The ROLLER GUIDE MUST ALWAYS be used
for cooking together with the Glass Tray.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
* 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 : 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 : 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 : 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 : 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 : 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 : 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 : Will the microwave oven be damaged if it
operates while empty?
* A : Yes. Never run it empty.
* 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 : 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 : 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.
16
Refer to following checklist, you may prevent an unnecessary service call.
BEFORE YOU CALL FOR SERVICE
* 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.
* Sparking in the cavity;

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.
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.

USE YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN SAFELY
General Use
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.
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.
Food
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
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.
Ensure all food deposits are cleaned off, as they can
carbonize if left.
ARCING
If you see arcing, push the STOP/CLEAR button 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 like
antennas).
• 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.
20
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.
MICROWAVING PRINCIPLES
Microwave oven is a Group 2 ISM equipment in which radio frequency energy is intentionally generated and
used in the form of electromagnetic radiation for the treatment of material. This oven is a Class B equipment
suitable for use in domestic establishments and in establishments directly connected to a low voltage power
supply network which supplies buildings used for domestic purposes.
HOW MICROWAVES COOK FOOD
CONVERSION CHARTS
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 4-5cm and as heat spreads
through the food by conduction, just as in a traditional
oven, the food cooks from the outside inwards.
In a microwave oven,
electricity is converted
into microwave by the
MAGNETRON.
The microwaves
bounce off the metal
walls and the metal
door screen.

21
STANDING TIME
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.
MOISTURE CONTENT
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.
DENSITY
Porous airy foods heat more quickly than dense
heavy foods.
CLING FILM
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.
SHAPE
Even shapes cook evenly. Food cooks better by
microwave when in a round container rather than
square.
SPACING
Foods cook more quickly and evenly if spaced
apart. NEVER pile foods on top of each other.
STARTING TEMPERATURE
The colder the food, the longer it takes to heat up.
Food from a fridge takes longer to reheat than
food at room temperature.
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
Some foods require stirring during cooking. Meat
and poultry should be turned after half the cooking
time.
ARRANGING
Individual foods e.g. chicken portions or chops,
should be placed on a dish so that the thicker
parts are towards the outside.
QUANTITY
Small quantities cook faster than large quantities,
also small meals will reheat more quickly than
large portions.
PIERCING
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.
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.
COOKING TECHNIQUES
22
ᶀ 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.
ᶀ Begin defrosting whole poultry breast-side-down.
Begin defrosting roasts fat-side-down.
ᶀ The shape of the package alters the defrosting time.
Shallow rectangular shapes defrost more quickly than
a deep block.
ᶀ After
1
/3 of the defrost time has elapsed, check the
food. You may wish to turn over, break apart,
rearrange or remove thawed portions of the food.
ᶀ During defrost, the oven will prompt you to turn the
food 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 pad to
complete defrosting.
ᶀ 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 fish may be placed under running cool
water until defrosted
➪ Turn over : Roast, ribs, whole poultry, turkey breasts,
hot dogs, sausages, steaks, or chops.
➪ Rearrange : Break apart or separate steaks, chops,
hamburger patties, ground meat, chicken or seafood
pieces, chunks of meat such as stew beef.
➪ 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.
➪ 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).
