When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should be followed, including the following:  
WARNING-To reduce the risk of burns, electric shock, fire, injury to persons or exposure to excessive  
microwave energy:  
11. Read all instructions before using the appliance.  
c) If materials inside the oven ignite, keep oven door  
closed, turn oven off, and disconnect the power  
cord, or shut off power at the fuse or circuit breaker  
panel.  
d) Do not use the cavity for storage purposes. Do not  
leave paper products, cooking utensils, or food in  
the cavity when not in use.  
12. Read and follow the specific “PRECAUTIONS TO  
AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE  
MICROWAVE ENERGY” found on page 1.  
13. This appliance must be grounded. Connect only to  
properly grounded outlet. See “GROUNDING  
INSTRUCTIONS” found on page 3.  
17. 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.  
14. Install or locate this appliance only in accordance with  
the provided installation instructions.  
15. Some products such as whole eggs and sealed  
containers - for example, closed glass jars are able to  
explode and should not be heated in this oven.  
16. Use this appliance only for its intended use as  
described in this manual. Do not use corrosive  
chemicals or vapors in this appliance. This type of  
oven is specifically designed to heat, cook, or dry food.  
It is not designed for industrial or laboratory use.  
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.  
17. As with the appliance, close supervision is necessary  
when used by children.

utensil into the container.  
Contact nearest authorized service facility for  
examination, repair or adjustment.  
18. Do not use this microwave oven to heat corrosive  
chemicals (for example, sulfides and chlorides).  
Vapors from such corrosive chemicals may interact  
with the contact and springs of the safety interlock  
switches thereby rendering them inoperable.  
10. Do not cover or block any openings on the appliance.  
11. Do not store this appliance outdoors. Do not use this  
product near water — for example, near a kitchen  
sink, in a wet basement, near a swimming pool, or  
similar locations.  
19. Keep the waveguide cover clean at all times.

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.  
It is occasionally necessary to remove the glass  
tray for cleaning. Wash the tray in warm sudsy  
water or in a dishwasher.

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.  
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.

BEFORE YOU CALL FOR SERVICE  
Refer to following checklist, you may prevent an unnecessary service call.  
* Sparking in the cavity;  
* 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.  
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.  
If there is still a problem, contact our warranty Dept. at  
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.  
4. The oven should not be adjusted or repaired by anyone  
except a properly competent service technician.  
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.  
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.  
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 causing 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.

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 is standing time recommended after the  
cooking operation has been completed?  
* A : Standing time is very important.  
* Q : Can I pop popcorn in my microwave oven? How  
do I get the best results?  
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.  
* 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.  
Utensil  
Aluminium foil  
Safe  
Comments  
Can be used in small quantities to protect areas against  
overcooking. Arcing can occur if the foil is too close to  
the oven wall or if too much foil is used.  
Crust plate  
Do not preheat for more than 8minutes.  
China and earthenware  
Porcelain, pottery, glazed earthenware and bone china  
are usually suitable, unless deco-rated with a metal trim.

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  
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.  
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.  
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  
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.  
ARCING  
If you see arcing, touch the STOP/CLEAR pad 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.

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  
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.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
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  
Small quantities cook faster than large quantities, also  
small meals will reheat more quickly than large portions.  
Porous airy foods heat more quickly than dense heavy  
foods.  
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.

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.  
}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.  
}Begin defrosting whole poultry breast-side-down.  
Begin defrosting roasts fat-side-down.  
Poultry and fish may be placed under running cool  
water until defrosted  
}The shape of the package alters the defrosting time.  
Shallow rectangular shapes defrost more quickly  
than a deep block.  
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 arching, 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).  
}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.
