IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONSREAD CAREFULLY AND KEEP FOR FUTURE REFERENCE

WARNING : To prevent fire, burns, electric shock and otherwarnings:Listed below are, as with all appliances, certain rules to followand safeguards to assure high performance from this oven:

1. Do not use the oven for any reasonother than food preparation, such asfor drying clothes, paper, or any othernonfood items or for sterilizingpurposes.

2. Do not use the oven when empty, thiscould damage the oven.

3. Do not use the oven cavity for any typeof storage, such as papers, cookbook,cookware, etc.

4. Do not operate the oven without theglass tray in place. Be sure it isproperly sitting on the rotating base.

5. Make sure you remove caps or lidsprior to cooking when you cook foodsealed in bottles.

6. Do not put foreign material betweenthe oven surface and door. It couldresult in excessive leakage ofmicrowave energy.

7. Do not use recycled paper products forcooking. They may contain impuritieswhich could cause sparks and/or fireswhen used during cooking.

8. Do not pop popcorn unless popped ina microwave approved popcornpopper or unless it's commercially

packaged and recommendedespecially for microwave ovens.Microwave popped corn produces alower yield than conventional popping;there will be a number of unpoppedkernels. Do not use oil unless specifiedby the manufacturer.

9. Do not cook any food surrounded by amembrane, such as egg yolks,potatoes, chicken livers, etc., withoutfirst piercing them several times with afork.

10. Do not pop popcorn longer than themanufacturer's directions. (poppingtime is generally below 3 minutes).Longer cooking does not yield morepopped corn, it can cause scorchingsand fire.Also, the cooking tray can become toohot to handle or may break.

11. If smoke is observed, switch off orunplug the appliance and keep thedoor closed in order to stifle anyflames.

12. When heating food in plastic or papercontainers, keep an eye on the ovendue to the possibility of ignition.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

13. The contents of feeding bottles andbaby food jars shall be stirred orshaken and the temperaturechecked before consumption, inorder to avoid burns.

14. Always test the temperature of foodor drink which has been heated in amicrowave oven before you give it tosomebody, especially to children orelderly people. This is importantbecause things which have beenheated in a microwave oven carry ongetting hotter even though themicrowave oven cooking hasstopped.

15. Eggs in their shell and whole hard-boiled eggs should not be heated inmicrowave ovens since they mayexplode, even after microwaveheating has ended;

16. Keep the waveguide cover clean atall times. Wipe the oven interior witha soft damp cloth after each use. Ifyou leave grease or fat anywhere inthe cavity it may overheat, smoke oreven catch fire when next using theoven.

17. Never heat oil or fat for deep fryingas you cannot control thetemperature and doing so may leadto overheating and fire.

18. Liquids, such as water, coffee, or teaare able to be overheated beyondthe boiling point without appearing to

be boiling due to surface tension ofthe liquid. Visible bubbling or boilingwhen the container is removed fromthe microwave oven is not alwayspresent. THIS COULD RESULT INVERY HOT LIQUIDS SUDDENLYBOILING OVER WHEN A SPOONOR OTHER UTENSIL ISINSERTED INTO THE LIQUID. To reduce the risk of injury topersons:a) Do not overheat the liquid.b) Stir the liquid both before and

halfway through heating itc) Do not use straight-sided

containers with narrow necks.d) After heating, allow the container

to stand in the microwave oven fora short time before removing thecontainer.

e) Use extreme care when insertinga spoon or other utensil into thecontainer.

19. Children should be supervised toensure that they do not play with theappliance.

20. Only use utensils that are suitable foruse in microwave ovens.

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 notrecommended.

* Q : Can the oven be used with the glass trayor roller guide removed?

* A : No. Both the glass tray and roller guide mustalways be 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 energywill be instantly switched off and the timesetting will maintain until the door is closed.

* Q : Why do I have moisture in my microwaveoven after cooking?

* A : The moisture on the side of your microwaveoven is normal. It is caused by steam fromcooking food hitting the cool oven surface.

* Q : Does microwave energy pass through theviewing screen in the door?

* A : No. The metal screen bounces back theenergy to the oven cavity. The holes aremade to allow light to pass through. They donot 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 yolkmembrane. To prevent this, simply pierce theyolk with a toothpick before cooking. Nevercook eggs without piercing their shells.

* Q : Why this standing time recommendedafter the cooking operation has beencompleted?

* A : Standing time is very important.With microwave cooking, the heat is in thefood, not in the oven. Many foods build upenough internal heat to allow the cookingprocess to continue, even after the food isremoved from the oven. Standing time forjoints of meat, large vegetables and cakes isto 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 foradditional time to allow it to finish cooking.This frees the oven for other cooking.

* Q : Why does my oven not always cook asfast as the microwave cooking guidesays?

* A : Check your cooking guide again, to makesure you’ve followed directions exactly ; andto see what might cause variations in cookingtime. Cooking guide times and heat settingsare suggestions, to help prevent over-cooking... the most common problem ingetting used to a microwave oven.Variations in the size, shape and weights anddimensions could require longer cookingtime. Use your own judgement along with thecooking guide suggestions to check whetherthe food has been properly cooked just asyou would do with a conventional cooker.

* Q : Will the microwave oven be damaged if itoperates while empty?

* A : Yes. Never run it empty.

* Q : Can I operate my microwave ovenwithout the turntable or turn the turntableover to hold a large dish?

* A : No. If you remove or turn over the turntable,you will get poor cooking results. Dishesused in your oven must fit on the turntable.

* Q : Is it normal for the turntable to turn ineither direction?

* A : Yes. The turntable rotates clockwise orcounterclockwise, depending on the rotationof the motor when the cooking cycle begins.

* Q : Can I pop popcorn in my microwaveoven? How do I get the best results?

* A : Yes. Pop packaged microwave popcornfollowing manufacture’s guidelines. Do notuse regular paper bags. Use the “listeningtest” by stopping the oven as soon as thepopping slows to a “pop” every 1 or 2seconds. Do not repop unpopped kernels. Donot pop popcorn in glass cookware.

COOKING 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, withoutbeing reflected or absorbed by the dish used. Care must therefore be taken choosing the utensil. If theutensil is marked microwave-safe, you do not need to worry. The following table lists various of utensiland indicates whether and how they should be used in a microwave oven.

● : Recommended use▲ : Limited Use✕ : Not Recommended

Aluminium foil

• Paper bags or newspaper• Recycled paper or metal trims

Glassware• Oven-to-table ware• Fine glassware

• Glass jars

Metal• Dishes• Freezer bag twist ties

Paper• Plates, cups, napkins and

Kitchen paper• Recycled paper

Plastic• Containers

• Cling film

• Freezer bags

Wax or grease-proof paper

Utensil Safe Comments

Can be used in small quantities to protect areas againstovercooking. Arcing can occur if the foil is too close tothe oven wall or if too much foil is used.

Do not preheat for more than 8minutes.

Porcelain, pottery, glazed earthenware and bone chinaare usually suitable, unless deco-rated with a metal trim.

Some frozen foods are packaged in these dishes.

Can be used to warm food. Overheating may cause thepolystyrene to melt.May catch fire.May cause arcing.

Can be used, unless decorated with a metal trim.Can be used to warm foods or liquids. Delicate glass may break or crack if heated suddenly.Must remove the lid. Suitable for warming only.

May cause arcing or fire.

For short cooking times and warming. Also to absorbexcess moisture.May cause arcing.

Particularly if heat-resistant thermoplastic. Some otherplastics may warp or discolour at high temperatures. Donot use Melamine plastic.Can be used to retain moisture. Should not touch thefood.

USE YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN SAFELYGeneral UseDo not attempt to defeat or tamper with safetyinterlocks.Do not place any object between the oven frontframe and the door or allow residue to build up onsealing surfaces. Wipe with a mild detergent, rinseand dry. Never use abrasive powders or buttons.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 hardobjects. This can damage the oven.

FoodNever 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 microwaveoven.Always allow a standing time of at least 20 secondsafter the oven has been switched off to allow the

temperature to even out, stir during heating, ifnecessary, and ALWAYS stir after heating. Toprevent eruptive boiling and possible scalding, youshould put a spoon or glass stick into the beveragesand stir before, during and after heating.Do not leave the oven unattended while poppingcorn.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 bagsdirectly on the oven tray. Place the package on amicrowave safe glass or ceramic plate to avoidoverheating and cracking the oven tray.Do not exceed the Microwave Popcornmanufacturers suggested popping time. Longer popping does not yield more popcorn but itcan result in scorch, burn of fire. Remember, thePopcorn bag and tray can be too hot to handle.Remove with caution and use pot holders.

ARCINGIf 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 pushing the side of the oven.• Foil not molded to food (upturned edges act like

antennas).

• Metal, such as twist-ties, poultry pins, or goldrimmed dishes, in the microwave.

• Recycled paper towels containing small metalpieces being used in the microwave.

MICROWAVING PRINCIPLESMicrowave energy has been used in this country to cook and reheat food since early experiments withRADAR in World War ll. Microwaves are present in the atmosphere all the time, both naturally and manmadesources. Manmade sources include radar, radio, television, telecommunication links and car phones.

CONVERSION CHARTSWEIGHT MEASURES15 g 1/2 oz.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 FOODMicrowave oven is a Group 2 ISM equipment in which radio frequency energy is intentionally generated andused in the form of electromagnetic radiation for the treatment of material. This oven is a Class B equipmentsuitable for use in domestic establishments and in establishments directly connected to a low voltage powersupply network which supplies buildings used for domestic purposes.

VOLUME MEASURES30 ml 1 fl.oz.100 ml 3 fl.oz.150 ml 5 fl.oz. (1/4 pt)300 ml 10 fl.oz. (1/2 pt)600 ml 20 fl.oz. (1pt)

SPOON MEASURES1.25 ml 1/4 tsp2.5 ml 1/2 tsp5 ml 1 tsp15 ml 1 tbsp

FLUID MEASUREMENTS1 Cup = 8 fl.oz. = 240 ml1 Pint = 16 fl.oz. (UK 20 fl.oz.) = 480 ml (UK 560 ml)1 Quart = 32 fl.oz. (UK 40 fl.oz.) = 960 ml (UK 1120 ml)1 Gallon = 128 fl.oz. (UK 160 fl.oz.) = 3840 ml (UK 4500 ml)

Then they pass through thecooking containers to beabsorbed by the watermolecules in the food, allfoods contain water to amore or lesser extent.

The microwaves cause the water molecules tovibrate which causes FRICTION, i.e. HEAT. Thisheat then cooks the food. Microwaves are alsoattracted to fat and sugar particles, and foods high inthese will cook more quickly. Microwaves can onlypenetrate to a depth of 4-5cm and as heat spreadsthrough the food by conduction, just as in a traditionaloven, the food cooks from the outside inwards.

In a microwave oven,electricity is convertedinto microwave by theMAGNETRON.

The microwavesbounce off the metalwalls and the metaldoor screen.

STANDING TIMEDense foods e.g. meat, baked potatoes andcakes, require standing time(inside or outside ofthe oven) after cooking, to allow heat to finishconducting to cook the center completely. Wrapmeat joints and baked potatoes in aluminium foilwhile standing. Meat joints need approx. 10-15minutes, baked potatoes 5 minutes. Other foodssuch as plated meal, vegetables, fish etc require2-5 minutes standing. After defrosting food,standing time should also be allowed. If food is notcooked after standing time, return to the oven andcook for additional time.

MOISTURE CONTENTMany fresh foods e.g. vegetables and fruit, vary intheir moisture content throughout the season,particularly baked potatoes. For this reasoncooking times may have to be adjusted. Dryingredients e.g. rice, pasta, can dry out duringstorage so cooking times may differ.

DENSITYPorous airy foods heat more quickly than denseheavy foods.

CLING FILMCling film helps keep the food moist and thetrapped steam assists in speeding up cookingtimes. Pierce before cooking to allow excesssteam to escape. Always take care whenremoving cling film from a dish as the build-up ofsteam will be very hot.

SHAPEEven shapes cook evenly. Food cooks better bymicrowave when in a round container rather thansquare.

SPACINGFoods cook more quickly and evenly if spacedapart. NEVER pile foods on top of each other.

STARTING TEMPERATUREThe colder the food, the longer it takes to heat up.Food from a fridge takes longer to reheat thanfood at room temperature.

LIQUIDSAll liquids must be stirred before and duringheating. Water especially must be stirred beforeand during heating, to avoid eruption. Do not heatliquids that have previously been boiled. DO NOTOVERHEAT.

TURNING & STIRRINGSome foods require stirring during cooking. Meatand poultry should be turned after half the cookingtime.

ARRANGINGIndividual foods e.g. chicken portions or chops,should be placed on a dish so that the thickerparts are towards the outside.

QUANTITYSmall quantities cook faster than large quantities,also small meals will reheat more quickly thanlarge portions.

PIERCINGThe skin or membrane on some foods will causesteam to build up during cooking. These foodsmust be pierced or a strip of skin should be peeledoff before cooking to allow the steam to escape.Eggs, potatoes, apples, sausages etc, will all needto be pierced before cooking. DO NOT ATTEMPTTO BOIL EGGS IN THEIR SHELLS.

COVERINGCover foods with microwave cling film or a lid.Cover fish, vegetables, casseroles, soups. Do notcover cakes, sauces, baked potatoes or pastryitems.

COOKING TECHNIQUES

25

▶ Do not defrost covered meat. Covering might allowcooking to take place. Always remove outer wrap andtray. 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 thana deep block.

▶ After 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.

▶ During 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, push the START button tocomplete defrosting.

▶ When 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, turkey breasts,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 such aschicken wings. To prevent arching, do not allow foil tocome within 1-inch of oven walls or door.

➪ Remove : To prevent cooking, thawed portions shouldbe removed from the oven at this point. This mayshorten defrost time for food weighing less than 3lbs.(1350g).
