IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS  
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.  
b) Remove wire twist-ties from paper or plastic bags  
before placing bag in oven.  
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.  
14. Install or locate this appliance only in accordance with  
the provided installation instructions.  
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.  
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.  
17. As with any appliance, close supervision is necessary  
when used by children.  
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.  
18. Do not operate this appliance if it has a damaged cord  
or plug, if it is not working properly, or if it has been  
damaged or dropped.  
19. This appliance should be serviced only by qualified  
service personnel.  
Contact nearest authorized service facility for  
examination, repair or adjustment.  
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.  
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.  
12. Do not immerse cord or plug in water.  
19. 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.  
13. Keep cord away from heated surfaces.  
14. Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter.  
15. When cleaning surfaces of door and oven that comes  
together on closing the door, use only mild, non-  
abrasive soaps or detergents applied with a sponge or  
soft cloth.  
20. Never heat oil or fat for deep frying as you cannot  
control the temperature and doing so may lead to  
overheating and fire.  
16. To reduce the risk of fire in the oven cavity:  
a) Do not overcook food. Carefully attend appliance  
when paper, plastic, or other combustible materials  
are placed inside the oven to facilitate cooking.  
21. Do not operate the oven without the glass tray in place.  
Be sure it is properly sitting on the rotating base.

If any damage is visible, DO NOT INSTALL, and notify your dealer immediately.  
2. Level, flat location.  
Install the microwave oven on a level, flat surface.  
3. Ventilation.  
Do not block air vents. If they are blocked during operation, the oven may overheat and eventually cause a  
failure.  
For proper ventilation, allow 3 inches of space between oven top, sides, rear and adjacent surfaces.  
4. Away from radio and TV sets.  
Poor television reception and radio interference may result if the oven is located close to a TV, radio,  
antenna, feeder, etc.  
Place the oven as far from them as possible.  
5. Away from heating appliances and water taps.  
Keep the oven away from heat, steam or splashing liquids. These things can adversely affect oven wiring  
and contacts.  
6. Power supply.  
This microwave oven requires a power supply of approximately 15 Amperes, 120 Volts, 60Hz  
and a grounded outlet. A short power cord is provided to reduce the risk of the user becoming  
entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. Longer cord sets or extension cords are available  
and may be used if care is exercised in their use  
If an extension cord is used, the marked electrical rating of the cord should be at least as great  
as the electrical rating of the oven.  
The extension cord must be a grounding-type 3-wire cord. The longer cord should be arranged  
so that it will not drape over the counter top or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over  
unintentionally  
7. The minimum height of free space necessary above the top surface of the oven is 100mm.  
When use 3-pronged plug  
When use grounding adaptor, make  
sure the receptacle box is fully  
grounded.

1. Check that the power cord is securely plugged  
in.  
1. Check utensils. Metal containers or dishes with  
metal trim should not be used.  
2. Check that the door is firmly closed.  
3. Check that the cooking time is set.  
2. Check that metal skewers or foil does not  
touch the interior walls.  
4. Check for a blown circuit fuse or tripped main  
circuit breaker in your house.  
If there is still a problem, contact the service  
station.  
A list of these stations is included in the oven.  
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 3. When opened, the door must not be subjected  
interlocks.  
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 trained  
service technician.  
It is particularly important that the oven closes  
properly and that there is no damage to the:  
i) Door(bent)  
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.  
ii) Hinges and Hookes(broken or loosened)  
iii) Door seals and sealing surfaces.  
4. The oven should not be adjusted or repaired by  
anyone except a properly trained service  
technician.

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.  
* 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.  
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 :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?  
* Q :Does microwave energy pass through the  
viewing screen in the door?  
* A : Yes. Never run it empty.  
* 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 this 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  
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  
sealing surfaces. Wipe with a mild detergent, rinse the oven.  
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 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.  
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.  
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.  
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  
moisture carefully. These can quickly dry out, burn product. The kernels can overheat and ignite a  
Heat small quantities of food or foods with low  
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  
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.  
ARCING  
If you see arcing, touch STOP/CLEAR pad or push the door open 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.

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  
In a microwave oven,  
electricity is converted  
into microwave by the  
MAGNETRON.  
TRANSMISSION  
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  
1
penetrate to a depth of 1 /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  
Porous airy foods heat more quickly than dense  
heavy foods.  
Small quantities cook faster than large quantities,  
also small meals will reheat more quickly than large  
portions.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
Begin defrosting whole poultry breast-side-down.  
Begin defrosting roasts fat-side-down.  
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.  
The shape of the package alters the defrosting time.  
Shallow rectangular shapes defrost more quickly than  
a deep block.  
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.  
1
After /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.  
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).  
Then, close oven door, touch the START pad to  
complete defrosting.

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
