PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE
TO EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY
(a) Do not attempt to operate this oven with the door open since open-door operation can result
in harmful exposure to microwave energy. It is important not to defeat or tamper with the safety
interlocks.
(b) Do not place any object between the oven front face and the door or allow soil or cleaner
residue to accumulate on sealing surfaces.
(c) WARNING : If the door or door seals are damaged, the oven must not be operated until it has
been repaired by a competent person : (1) door (bent), (2) hinges and latches(broken or
loosened), (3) door seals and sealing surfaces.
(d) WARNING : It is hazardous for anyone other than a competent person to carry out any service or
repair operation which involves the removal of a cover which gives protection against exposure to
microwave energy.
(e) WARNING : Liquids or other foods must not be heated in sealed containers since they are liable
to explode.
(f) The appliance is not intended for use by young children or infirm persons without supervision.
Young children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING : To prevent fire, burns, electric shock and other warnings:
Listed below are, as with all appliances, certain rules to follow and safeguards to assure
top performance from this oven:
1. Do not use the oven for any reason other than food
preparation, such as for drying clothes, paper, or any
other nonfood items or for sterilizing purposes.
2. Do not use the oven when empty, this could damage the
oven.
3. Do not use the oven cavity for any type of storage, such
as papers, cookbook, cookware, etc.
4. Do not operate the oven without the glass tray in place.
Be sure it is properly sitting on the rotating base.
5. Make sure you remove caps or lids prior to cooking when
you cook food sealed in bottles.
6. Do not put foreign material between the oven surface and
door. It could result in excessive leakage of microwave
energy.
7. Do not use recycled paper products for cooking. They
may contain impurities which could cause sparks and/or
fires when used during cooking.
8. Do not pop popcorn unless popped in a microwave
approved popcorn popper or unless it’s commercially
packaged and recommended especially for microwave
ovens.
Microwave popped corn produces a lower yield than
conventional popping; there will be a number of
unpopped kernels. Do not use oil unless specified by the
manufacturer.
9. Do not cook any food surrounded by a membrane, such
as egg yolks, potatoes, chicken livers, etc., without first
piercing them several times with a fork.
10. Do not pop popcorn longer than the manufacturer’s
directions. (popping time is generally below 3 minutes).
Longer cooking does not yield more popped corn, it can
cause scorchings and fire.
Also, the cooking tray can become too hot to handle or
may break.
11. If smoke is observed, switch off or unplug the appliance
and keep the door closed in order to stifle any flames.
12. When heating food in plastic or paper containers, check
the oven frequently due to the possibility of ignition.
13. The contents of feeding bottles and baby food jars are to
be stirred or shaken and the temperature is to be
checked before consumption, in order to avoid burns.
14. Always test the temperature of food or drink which has
been heated in a microwave oven before you give it to
somebody, especially to children or elderly people. This
is important because things which have been heated in a
microwave oven carry on getting hotter even though the
microwave oven cooking has stopped.
15. Eggs in their shell and whole hard-boiled eggs shall not
be heated in microwave ovens since they may explode.
16. 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.
17. Never heat oil or fat for deep frying as you cannot control
the temperature and doing so may lead to overheating
and fire.
18. Microwave heating of beverages can result in delayed
eruptive boiling, therefore care has to be taken when
handling the container.

EARTHING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be earthed. In the event of an electrical short circuit, earthing reduces the risk of electric
shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current. This appliance is equipped with a cord having a
earthing wire with a earthing plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and earthed.
WARNING: Improper use of the earthing plug can result in a risk of electric shock. Consult a qualified
electrician or serviceman if the earthing instructions are not completely understood, or if doubt
exists as to whether the appliance is properly earthed. If it is necessary to use an extension
cord, use only a 3-wire extension cord that has a 3-blade earthing plug, and a 3-slot receptacle
that will accept the plug on the appliance. The marked rating of the extension cord should be
equal to or greater than the electrical rating of the appliance.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
* 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 : Why 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. Standing
time for joints of meat, large vegetables and cakes is to allow the inside to cook completely, without
overcooking the outside.
* Q : Will the microwave oven be damaged if it operates while empty?
* A : Yes. Never run it empty.
* 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 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 : 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 : 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 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.
* 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 : 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 : 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 from cooking food
heating the cool oven surface.
* Q : Dose 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.

COOKING UTENSILS
Recommended Use
•Glass and glass-ceramic bowls and Dishes - Use for heating or cooking.
• Microwave browning dish - Use to brown the exterior of small items such as steaks, chops, or
pancakes. Follow the directions provided with you browning dish.
• Microwaveable plastic wrap - Use to retain steam. Leave a small opening for some steam to
escape and avoid placing it directly on the food.
• Wax paper - Use as a cover to prevent spattering.
• Paper towels, paper plates, napkins and cups - Use for short term heating and covering; they absorb
excess moisture and prevent spattering. Always attend the oven closely. Only use to absorb fat and
moisture when warming food. Pay special attention as over-heating may cause a fire in your oven. Do not
use re-cycled paper products, e.g. kitchen roll unless they say they are specifically designed for use in a
microwave oven. These products contain impurities which may cause sparks and/or fires when used.
• Thermometers - Use only those labeled “Microwave Safe” and follow all directions. Check the food in
several places. Conventional thermometers may be used once the food has been removed from the oven.
• Microwave cling film, microwave roasting bags - Microwave cling film and bags must be vented
for steam to escape, pierce in 4~5 places. Do not use plastic or metal ties as they may melt or catch
fire due to electrical ‘arcing’.
Limited Use
• Aluminum foil - Use narrow strips of foil to prevent overcooking of exposed areas. Using too much
toil can damage your oven, so be careful.
• Ceramic, porcelain, and stoneware - Use these if they are labeled “Microwave Safe.” If they are
not labeled, test them to make sure they can be used safely. Never use dishes with metalic trim.
• Plastic - Use only if labeled “Microwave Safe.” Other plastics can melt.
• Thin plastic, paper, straw and wooden containers - Always attend the oven closely. Look at the oven from
time to time when cooking or reheating food in disposable containers of plastic, paper or other combustible
material. Only use for warming food. Pay special attention as over-heating may cause a fire in your oven.
Not Recommended
• Glass jars and bottles - Regular glass is too thin to be used in a microwave, and can shatter.
• Paper bags - These are a fire hazard, except for popcorn bags that are designed for microwave use.
• Styrofoam plates and cups - These can melt and leave an unhealthy residue on food.
• Plastic storage and food containers - Containers such as margarine tubs can melt in the microwave.
• Metal utensils - These can damage your oven. Remove all metal before cooking.
Only use utensils that are suitable for use in microwave ovens.
UTENSILS TEST
Place the utensil in question next to a glass measure filled with water, in the microwave oven.
Microwave at high power for 1-2 minutes. If the water heats up, but the utensil remains cool, the
utensil is microwave-safe. However if the utensil becomes warm, microwaves are being absorbed by
the utensil and it should not be in the microwave oven. You probably have many items on hand in your
kitchen right now that can be used as cooking equipment in your microwave oven. Read through the
following checklist.
