2. Avoid positioning the oven higher than bench top height. ie head height, as hot foods
and liquids can easily be spilled onto the user. It also leads to excessive wear to the
door and hinges.
3. Do not position the unit below bench height, as this can result in possible damage due
to users using excessive force when closing the door. ie. using their foot or leg to close
the door.
4. Position unit away from other appliances such as dishwashers, cooktops, toasters or
any other such appliances that cause steam or heat to effect the oven.
5. Away from taps, sinks or any other location where liquid splashes can affect the oven.
6. Position unit away from radio and TV sets as interference may occur when in close
proximity.
7. Allow sufcient ventilation to prevent the oven from overheating. Allow 15cm clearance
from the sides and rear of the oven, as well as 30cm clearance on the top of the oven.
8. Do not operate the oven if it is colder than the ambient room temperature
(This may occur during delivery in cold weather). Allow the oven to reach room
temperature before operating.
9. Ensure oven is connected to the recommended specied power supply.
STACKING OVENS
A maximum of one oven may be stacked on top of another.
Each oven is supplied with a fastening bracket attached to the
rear of the oven. See Fig. 1. This bracket should be used to secure
ovens safely when they are stacked. Follow the guidelines below.
1. Using a screwdriver remove the screws holding the fastening
brackets in place on both ovens. Once the fastening brackets
are removed tighten the screws back into the same positions
they where removed from without replacing the bracket.
See Fig. 1.
2. Unscrew the 4
screws shown
in Fig. 2.
3. Position the
fastening brackets
in place as shown
in Fig. 3 and screw

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.
3. 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.
4. If the Control Panel becomes wet, clean with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use harsh
detergents or abrasives on the Control Panel.
5. If steam accumulates inside or around the outside of the oven door, wipe with a soft
cloth. This may occur when the microwave oven is operated under high humidity
conditions and in no way indicates malfunction of the unit.
6. For easier cleaning of the cavity walls, place half a lemon in a bowl, add 300ml (1/2 pint)
water and heat on 100% microwave power for 1 minutes. Wipe the oven clean using a
soft, dry cloth.
7. Do not use harsh abrasive cleaners or sharp metal scrapers to clean the oven door
glass since they can scratch the surface, which may cause the glass to shatter.

12
SAFETY & USAGE GUIDELINES
The following guidelines are important to prevent re, burns, unnecessary maintenance and
ensure high performance and reliability from your oven. Read carefully and keep for future
reference.
1. Do not use the oven for any reason other than food preparation. ie Drying clothes or
paper or heating of any other non food items is dangerous.
2. Do not use the oven when empty, this will cause unnecessary damage to the oven.
3. Do not use the oven cavity to store items. ie Books, paper towels, cookware, etc
4. Make sure to remove all air tight lids or caps before heating product in containers,
bottles, jars, etc in the oven.
5. Do not use recycled paper products in the oven. They may contain impurities which
could cause sparking or re.
6. Do not use metal inside the oven. This can spark or arc and damage the oven.
7. Do not pop popcorn unless using a microwave specied popcorn container or the
popcorn is in a commercially prepared microwave popcorn bag. Do not heat popcorn for
longer than the manufacturers guidelines as this can cause re in the oven.
8. Do not cook or heat food product that contains a membrane such as egg yolks, potatoes,
sh eyes, chicken liver, etc. without rst piercing them several times with a fork.
9. Do not heat or cook eggs in their shell. This may result in an explosion that may
damage the oven beyond repair and cause injury.
10. Never heat oil or try to deep fry in a microwave oven. This may result in overheating
and re.
11. Always test the temperature of heated or cooked food before consuming.
Microwave heated food does not reach its maximum temperature until after the oven
has stopped. This could be anywhere up to 10% longer than the actual heating or
cooking time in the oven.
12. Liquids such as water, coffee & tea can be overheated beyond the boiling point with
no visible signs of boiling due to surface tension of the liquid. Visible signs of bubbling
may not always be present. THIS MAY LEAD TO HOT LIQUID SUDDENLY BOILING
OVER WHEN THE SURFACE TENSION IS RELEASED. ie Putting a spoon or utensil
in the liquid.
13. To prevent injury when heating liquids:
a. Do not overheat liquid.
b. Stir liquid both before and half way through the heating cycle.
c. After the cooking time has stopped allow the liquid to stand in the oven for a short
time before removing it.
d. Use extreme care when inserting a spoon or utensils in hot liquid.
14. Ensure only dishes, containers, utensils, etc that are clearly marked microwave safe are
used in the oven. Non microwave safe dishes, etc may melt, cause re, arc or spark or
create toxic fumes.
15. Use caution when using plastic microwave safe dishes as they may still melt if food is
overheated.
16. Always stir and test the temperature of baby bottles before serving.

CONVERSION CHARTS
MICROWAVING PRINCIPLES
Microwave energy has been used 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 by man made sources. Man made
sources include radar, radio, television, telecommunication links and mobile devices.
HOW MICROWAVES COOK FOOD
The microwave oven is a Group 2 ISM equipment in which radio frequency energy is intentionally generated
and used in the form of electromagnetic radiation for the treatment of material. This oven is a Class B
equipment suitable for use in domestic establishments and in establishments directly connected to a low
voltage power supply network which supplies buildings used for domestic purposes.
Then microwave energy
passes through the
cooking container to be
absorbed by water
molecules in the food. All
foods contain water.
In a microwave oven,
electricity is converted
into microwave by the
MAGNETRON ENERGY.
The microwave energy
bouncesoff the metal
walls and the metal door
screen of the oven.
Oven Cavity Magnetron
Waveguide
Turntable
REFLECTION

ABSORPTION
Microwave Water Molecule Absorption Vibration
Microwave energy causesthe water molecules to
vibrate which causes FRICTION resulting in 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.

USAGE TIPS
1. Microwave safe plastic wrap is handy for maintaining moisture in food and
reducing heating or cooking time, however always leave a small opening for some
steam to escape.
2. Standing Time - Always allow cooked or heated food to stand after the oven has stopped
running. Standing time allows the heat to nish conducting itself evenly to the centre of
the product. Standing time can be up to 20% of the heating time depending on product.
3. Moisture Content - Many fresh foods such as vegetables and fruits vary in moisture
throughout the season. Therefore heating times may need to be varied accordingly.
4. Heating Evenly:
a. Even shapes heat more evenly, a round dish heats more evenly than a square dish.
b. Microwave energy heats from the outside to the inside. Therefore placing thicker
portions on the outside of the dish will heat more evenly.
c. Single items will heat more evenly than multiple items. ie a single bowl of food will
heat more evenly than 2 bowls at the same time.
d. Spacing food apart evenly on the plate will heat faster and more evenly than food
piled together.
5. Starting temperature - The colder the starting temperature the longer the heating time.
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.

BEFORE YOU CALL FOR SERVICE
Refer to following checklist, you may prevent an unnecessary service call.
* 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 building.
* Sparking in the cavity;
1. Check that utensils and containers are not metal and that dishes don't have metal
trim.
If there is still a problem, contact your service centre.
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
* 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 and START is touched.
* 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 form cooking food
heating 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?
* 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.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS (continued)
* Q : Why is 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 allows 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 : 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 manufactures guidelines or use the preset
POPCORN pad. 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.
