• Check power cord and outlet
- Remove all foreign substances such as dust or water from the power plug terminals and contact points using
a dry cloth on a regular basis.
- Unplug the power plug and clean it with a dry cloth.
- Plug the power cord into a properly grounded 3 pronged outlet. Your oven should be the only appliance
connected to this circuit.
- Sharing a wall socket with other appliances, using a power strip, or extending the power cord may result in
electric shock or fire.
- Do not use an electric transformer. It may result in electric shock or fire.
- Ensure that the voltage, frequency and current provided match the product’s specifications.
5. Critical usage WARNINGS
If the microwave appliance is flooded, please contact your nearest service center. Failing to do so may result in
electric shock or fire.
Read and follow the specific “Precautions to Avoid Possible Exposure to Excessive Microwave Energy” found on
Page 3.
If the microwave generates a strange noise, a burning smell or smoke, unplug it immediately and contact your
nearest service center.
• In the event of a gas leak (propane gas, LP gas, etc.), ventilate the room immediately. Do not touch the
microwave, power cord, or plug.
• Do not use a ventilating fan.
• A spark may result in an explosion or fire.
Take care that the door or any of the other parts do not come into contact with your body while cooking or just
after cooking.
• In the event of a grease fire on the surface units below the oven, smother the flaming pan on the surface unit by
covering the pan completely with a lid, a cookie sheet or a flat tray.
Never leave surface units beneath your oven unattended at high heat settings. Boil overs cause smoking and
greasy spills that may ignite and spread if the vent fan is operating. To minimize automatic fan operation, use
adequate sized cookware. Use high heat on surface units only when necessary.
If materials inside the oven should ignite, keep the oven door closed, turn the oven off and disconnect the power
cord, or shut off power at the fuse or circuit breaker panel. If the door is opened, the fire may spread.
• Always observe Safety Precautions when using your oven. Never try to repair the oven on your own. There is
dangerous voltage inside. If the oven needs to be repaired, contact an authorized service center near you.

SENSOR OPERATIONS
The Sensor Cook categories are designed to detect the increasing humidity released by the food during the cooking
process. The microwave oven sensor will automatically adjust the cooking time to the type and amount of food.
Using Sensor Settings
1. After the oven is plugged in, wait 2 minutes before
using Sensor Cook.
2. Be sure the exterior of the cooking container and the
interior of the oven are dry. Wipe off any moisture with
a dry cloth or paper towel.
3. The oven works with foods at normal storage
temperature.
4. More or less food than the quantity listed in the chart
should be cooked following the guidelines in any
microwave cookbook.
5. Do not open the oven door or press STOP/CLEAR
pad until cooking time appears on the display
window. The measurement of vapor will be
interrupted. If this occurs, an error message "Er01"
will appear. To continue cooking, press the STOP/
CLEAR pad and cook manually.
When the sensor detects the vapor emitted from the
food, the remainder of cooking time will appear.
The door may be opened when remaining cooking
time appears on the display. At this time, you may stir
or season food, as desired.
6. Always use microwave-safe containers and cover
them with loose fitting lids or vented plastic wrap.
Never use tight sealing plastic containers. They will
prevent steam from escaping and this will mislead the
sensor, usually causing the food to overcook.
7. Check food for temperature or doneness after
cooking. If food is not completely cooked, enter
additional cooking time manually. Do not use one
of the Sensor Cook categories twice in succession on
the same food portion. This may result in severely
overcooked or burnt food.
Covering Foods
Some foods work best when covered. Use the cover
recommended in the Sensor Cook Chart for these
foods.
1. Casserole lid.
2. Plastic wrap : Use plastic wrap recommended for
microwave cooking. Cover dish loosely; allow
approximately 1/2 inch to remain uncovered to allow
steam to escape. Plastic wrap should not touch
food.
3. Wax paper : Cover dish completely; fold excess wrap
under dish to secure. If dish is wider than paper,
overlap two pieces at least one inch to cover.
Be careful when removing any covering to allow steam
to escape away from you.

MICROWAVE OVEN INTERIOR
The oven interior should be cleaned after each use with a damp cloth to keep it free from grease and soil
buildup. Stubborn soils can be removed with a plastic scrub pad. When cleaning interior surfaces and surfaces
of door and oven that come together when the door is closed, use only mild, non-abrasive soaps or detergents
applied with a sponge or soft cloth.
Odors can be eliminated from the inside of the oven by boiling a solution of one cup of water and several
tablespoons of lemon juice in the oven for 5-7 minutes. This also helps loosen any dried soil in the oven. Wipe
off excess moisture after use.

BEFORE YOU CALL
If noting on the oven operates:
• check for a blown circuit fuse or a tripped main circuit
breaker.
• check if oven is properly connected to electric circuit
in house.
• check that controls are set properly.
• check that the cooking time is set.
If the oven interior light does not work:
• The LED light may be loose or defective. See page 29
or call a qualified servicer.
If oven will not cook:
• check that control panel was programmed correctly.
• check that door is firmly closed.
• check that START Pad was pressed.
• Auto Start may have been set.
• the Control Lockout may have been set
• check the area between the door and seal for
obstructions.
If oven takes longer than normal to cook or cooks
too rapidly:
• be sure the Power Level is programmed properly.
• check instructions on food density, etc.
• verify that voltage to the microwave oven is not low.
If the time-of-day clock does not always keep
correct time:
• check that the power cord is fully inserted into the
outlet receptacle.
• check that the oven is properly grounded.
• try plugging the oven into an outlet on a separate
electrical circuit.
If oven floor or glass tray are hot:
• this is normal. The floor is absorbing heat from the
food.
If the interior of oven collects moisture:
• this is normal. Food gives off moisture when cooking
and the steam collects on the door and the oven
surface. Wipe off excess moisture from oven after
each use.
If food cooks unevenly:
• refer to your recipe for proper cooking procedures.
• be sure food is evenly shaped.
• be sure food is completely defrosted before cooking.
• check placement of aluminum strips used to prevent
overcooking.
If food is undercooked:
• check recipe to be sure all directions (amount, time,
and power levels) were correctly followed.
• check household voltage.
• try plugging the oven into an outlet on a separate
electrical circuit.
• be sure food was completely defrosted before
cooking.
If food is overcooked:
• check recipe to be sure all directions (amount, time,
and power levels) were correctly followed.
• the initial temperature of food may have been higher
than normal.
If arcing (sparks) occur:
• be sure microwave-safe dishes were used.
• be sure wire twist ties were not used.
• be sure oven was not operated when empty.
If the display shows a time counting down but the
oven is not cooking:
• check that door is firmly closed.
Check the following to be sure a service call is necessary:
35
* 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 : 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 : What does "Er01" message mean?
* A : "Er01" means SENSOR ERROR and will appear if
you open the oven door or press STOP/CLEAR
pad while cooking times is displayed. To continue
cooking, press the STOP/CLEAR pad and cook
manually.
* 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 : 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 is 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 : 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 : 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.
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

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 utensil and indicates
whether and how they should be used in a microwave oven.

ARCING
If 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 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.
• Dirt or grease on waveguide cover.

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 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.

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.
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.
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.
CONVERSION CHARTS
HOW MICROWAVES COOK FOOD
In a microwave oven,
electricity is converted
into microwave by the
MAGNETRON.
The microwaves bounce
off the metal walls and
the metal door screen.

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.

DEFROSTING GUIDE
▶ 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.
▶ Begin defrosting whole poultry breast-side-down.
Begin defrosting roasts fat-side-down.
▶ The shape of the package alters the defrosting time.
Shallow rectangular shapes defrost more quickly than
a deep block.
▶ 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.
▶ 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, press the START pad to
complete defrosting.
▶ 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).
