WARNING:
This
equipment generates and uses ISM frequency energy and if not installed and used properly, that is in
strict accordance with the manufacturer's instructions, may cause interference to radio and television
reception.
It has been type-tested and found to comply with limits for an ISM Equipment pursuant to part 18 of FCC
Rules, which are designed to provide reasonable protection against such interference in a residential
installation.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation.
If this equipment does cause interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by
turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more
of the followings.
• Reorient the receiving antenna of radio or television.
• Relocate the Microwave oven with respect to the receiver.
• Move the microwave oven away from the receiver.
•
Plug
the microwave oven into a different outlet so that microwave oven and receiver are on different
branch circuits.
THE MANUFACTURER is not responsible for any radio or TV interference caused by
UNAUTHORIZED MODIFICATION to this microwave oven. It is the responsibility of the user to correct
such interference.
T
his appliance must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, the grounding plug reduces the risk of
electric shock by providing an escape wire for electric current. This appliance is equipped with a cord having a
grounding wire with a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and
grounded.

a longer cord.
2. Longer cord sets or extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use.
3. If a long cord or extension cord is used:
• The marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical
rating of the oven.
• The extension cord must be a gr
ounding type 3-wire cord.
• The longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape the table top or counter where it can be pulled
on by children or tripped over unintentionally.

CARE AND CLEANING
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.
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.
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 o
ven 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 Hooks(broken or loosened)
iii) Door seals and sealing surfaces.
4. The oven should not be adjusted or repaired by
anyone except a properly competent ser vice
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 SERVICE
Refer to following checklist, you may prevent an unnecessary service call.

* 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.

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 micorwave
oven after cooking?
* A : The moisture on the side of your microwave oven
is n
ormal. 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?
* pop yam kloy eht ,sgge gnihcaop ro gnikab nehW : A
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. Standin
g 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?
* eb dluohs doof taht snaem ”emit gnidnatS“ : A
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

* erus ekam ot ,niaga ediug gnikooc ruoy kcehC : A
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 w
hether 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 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 no
t repop unpopped
kernels.

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 reected
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.

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

Then they pass through the
cooking containers to be
a b s o rbe d by t h e wa t e r
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 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.

Microwave Stirrer
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 lm or a lid. Cover sh,
vegetables, casseroles, soups. Do not cover cakes,
sauces, jacket potatoes or pastry items.
COOKINg TECHNIQUES
C O O K I N G I N S T R U C T I O N S
25
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, touch 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 sh 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).

Reheating chart
• Baby food particularly needs to be checked carefully before serving to prevent burns.
• When heating pre-packaged ready-cooked foods, always follow the pack instructions carefully.
• If you freeze foods which were bought from the fresh or chilled counters, remember that they should be thoroughly
thawed before following the heating instructions on the packed. It’s worth putting a note on them so that other
members of the household will remember too.
• Remember metal ties and transfer food from foil containers before reheating.
• Chilled(refrigerated) food takes longer to reheat than food at room temperature (such as just-cooled food or food
from the store cupboard).
• All foods should be reheated using full microwave power.
