SPECIAL NOTES ABOUT
MICROWAVING
ARCING
If you see arcing, press the CLEAR/OFF 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.
FOODS
• Do not pop popcorn in your microwave oven
unless in a special microwave popcorn accessory or
unless you use popcorn labeled for use in microwave
ovens.
• Some products such as whole eggs and sealed
containers - for example, closed jars - are able to
explode and should not be heated in this microwave
oven. Such use of the microwave oven could result in
injury.
• Do not boil eggs in a microwave oven. Pressure
will build up inside egg yolk and will cause it to burst,
possibly resulting in injury.
• Do not cook eggs in the shell. Puncture egg yolks,
egg white before cooking to prevent “explosion”.
• Occasionally a poached egg may burst during
cooking. Be sure to cook covered and let stand one
minute before removing the cover.
• Operating the microwave with no food inside for
more than a minute or two may cause damage to the
oven and could start a fire. It increases the heat
around the magnetron and can shorten the life of the
oven.
• Foods surrounded with membrane/with unbroken
outer “skin” such as potatoes, hot dogs, sausages,
tomatoes, apples, chicken livers, egg yolks and other
giblets, should be pierced to allow steam to escape
during cooking.
SAFETY FACT
SUPERHEATED WATER
Liquids, such as water, coffee or tea are able to be
overheated beyond the boiling point without
appearing to be boiling. 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
THE CONTAINER IS DISTURBED OR A SPOON OR
OTHER UTENSIL IS INSERTED INTO THE LIQUID.
To reduce the risk of injury to persons:
— Do not overheat the liquid.
— Stir the liquid both before and halfway through
heating it.
— Do not use straight-sided containers with narrow
necks.
— After heating, allow the container to stand in the
microwave oven for a short time before removing
the container.
— Use extreme care when inserting a spoon or
other utensil into the container.
• Avoid heating baby food in glass jars, even with
the lid off. Make sure all infant food is thoroughly
cooked. Stir food to distribute the heat evenly. Be
careful to prevent scalding when warming formula.
The container may feel cooler than the formula really
is. Always test the formula before feeding the baby.
• Do not defrost frozen beverages in
narrow-necked bottles (especially carbonated
beverages). Even if the container is opened, pressure
can build up. This can cause the container to burst,
possibly resulting in injury.
• Do not use the oven for home canning.
Microwave ovens are not designed to permit proper
canning. Improperly canned food may spoil and be
dangerous for to consume.
• Do not attempt to deep-fry food in this oven.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ ALL SAFETY INFORMATION BEFORE USING
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
• Hot foods and steam can cause burns. Be careful
when opening any containers of hot food, including
popcorn bags, cooking pouches and boxes. To
prevent possible injury, direct steam away from hands
and face.
• Please remember that a microwave oven only
heats the liquid in the container rather than the
container itself. Therefore, even though the lid of a
container is not hot at the touch when removed from
the oven, the food/liquid inside will be releasing the
same amount of steam and /or spitting when the lid is
removed as in the conventional cooking.
• Do not overcook potatoes. They could dehydrate
and catch fire, causing damage to your oven.
• Cook meat and poultry thoroughly - meat to at
least an INTERNAL temperature of 75°C and poultry to
at least an INTERNAL temperature of 85°C. Cooking to
these temperatures usually protects against food
borne illness.
• For food containing a mixture of fat and water e.g.
stock, should stand for 30-60 seconds in the oven
after it has been turned off in order to allow mixture
to settle and to prevent bubbling when a spoon is
placed in the food / liquid or a stock cube is added.
MICROWAVE-SAFE COOKWARE
• Make sure all cookware used in your microwave
oven is suitable for microwaving. Most glass
casseroles, cooking dishes, measuring cups, custard
cups, pottery or china dinnerware which does not
have metallic trim or glaze with a metallic sheen can
be used. Some cookware is labeled “suitable for
microwaving”.
• If you are not sure if a dish is microwave-safe, use
this test: Place in the oven both the dish you are
testing and a glass measuring cup filled with 1 cup of
water-set the measuring cup either in or next to the
dish. Microwave 1 minute at high. If the dish heats, it
should not be used for microwaving. If the dish
remains cool and only the water in the cup heats,
then the dish is microwave-safe.
• If you use a meat thermometer while cooking,
make sure it is safe for use in microwave ovens.
SPECIAL NOTES ABOUT
MICROWAVING
• Do not use recycled paper products. Recycled
paper towels, napkins and waxed paper can contain
metal flecks, which may cause arcing or ignite. Paper
products containing nylon or nylon filaments should
be avoided, as they may also ignite.
• Some Styrofoam trays (like those that meat is
packaged on) have a thin strip of metal embedded in
the bottom. When microwaved, the metal can burn
the floor of the oven or ignite a paper towel.
• Do not use the microwave to dry newspapers.
• Not all plastic wrap is suitable for use in
microwave ovens. Check the package for proper use.
• Paper towels, waxed paper and plastic wrap can
be used to cover dishes in order to retain moisture
and prevent spattering. Be sure to vent plastic wrap
so steam can escape.
• Cookware may become hot because of heat
transferred from the heated food. Pot holders may be
needed to handle the cookware.
• “Boilable” cooking pouches and tightly closed
plastic bags should be slit, pierced or vented as
directed on the package. If they are not, plastic may
burst during or immediately after cooking, possibly
resulting in injury. Also, plastic storage containers
should be at least partially uncovered because they
form a tight seal. When cooking with containers
tightly covered with plastic wrap, remove covering
carefully and direct steam away from hands and face.
• Use foil as directed in this manual. TV dinners
may be microwaved in foil trays less than 2 cm high;
remove the top foil cover and return the tray to the
box. When using foil in the microwave oven, keep the
foil at least 3 cm away from the sides of the oven.
• Plastic cookware designed for microwave cooking
is very useful, but should be used carefully. Even
microwave-safe plastic may not be as tolerant of
overcooking conditions as are glass or ceramic
materials, and may soften or char if subjected to
short periods of overcooking. In longer exposures to
overcooking, the food and cookware could ignite.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be grounded. This oven is
equipped with a cord having a grounding wire with a
grounding plug. It must be plugged into a wall
receptacle that is properly installed and grounded. In
the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding
reduces risk of electric shock by providing an escape
wire for the electric current. It is recommended that a
separate circuit serving only the oven be provided.
Using a high voltage is dangerous and may result in a
fire or other accident causing oven damage.
WARNING Improper use of the grounding plug can
result in a risk of electric shock.
Note:
1. If you have any questions about the grounding or
electrical instructions, consult a qualified
electrician or service person.
2. Neither the manufacturer nor the dealer can
accept any liability for damage to the oven or

MICROWAVE COOKING PRINCIPLES
1. Arrange food carefully. Place thickest areas
towards outside of dish.
2. Watch cooking time. Cook for the shortest
amount of time indicated and add more as
needed. Food severely overcooked can smoke or
ignite.
3. Cover foods while cooking. Covers prevent
spattering and help foods to cook evenly.
4. Turn foods over once during microwave cooking
to speed cooking of such foods as chicken and
hamburgers. Large items like roasts must be
turned over at least once.
5. Rearrange foods such as meatballs halfway
through cooking both from top to bottom and
from the center of the dish to the outside.
UTENSILS GUIDE
1. The ideal material for a microwave utensil is
transparent to microwave, it allows energy to
pass through the container and heat the food.
2. Microwave cannot penetrate metal, so metal
utensils or dishes with metallic trim should not be
used.
3. Do not use recycled paper products when
microwave cooking, as they may contain small
metal fragments which may cause sparks and/or
fires.
4. Round /oval dishes rather than square/oblong
ones are recommend, as food in corners tends to
overcook.
5. Narrow strips of aluminum foil may be used to
prevent overcooking of exposed areas. But be
careful don’t use too much and keep a distance of
3cm between foil and the side of the cavity.
The list below is a general guide to help you select the correct utensils.

CLEANING AND CARE
1. Turn off the oven and remove the power plug
from the wall socket before cleaning.
2. Keep the inside of the oven clean. When food
splatters or spilled liquids adhere to oven walls,
wipe with a damp cloth. Mild detergent may be
used if the oven gets very dirty. Avoid the use of
spray and other harsh cleaners as they may stain,
streak or dull the door surface.
3. The outside surfaces should be cleaned with a
damp cloth. To prevent damage to the operating
parts inside the oven, water should not be
allowed to seep into the ventilation openings.
4. Wipe the door and window on both sides, the
door seals and adjacent parts frequently with a
damp cloth to remove any spills or spatters. Do
not use abrasive cleaner.
5. Do not allow the control panel to become wet.
Clean with a soft, damp cloth. When cleaning the
control panel, leave oven door open to prevent
oven from accidentally turning on.
6. 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 condition. And it is
normal.
7. It is occasionally necessary to remove the glass
tray for cleaning. Wash the tray in warm sudsy
water or in a dishwasher.
8. The roller ring and oven floor should be cleaned
regularly to avoid excessive noise. Simply wipe the
bottom surface of the oven with mild detergent.
The roller ring may be washed in mild sudsy water
or dishwasher. When removing the roller ring from
cavity floor for cleaning, be sure to replace in the
proper position.
9. Remove odors from your oven by combining a
cup of water with the juice and skin of one lemon
in a deep microwaveable bowl, microwave for 5
minutes. Wipe thoroughly and dry with a soft
cloth.
10. When it becomes necessary to replace the oven
light, please consult a dealer to have it replaced.
11. The oven should be cleaned regularly and any
food deposits removed. 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.
12. Please do not dispose this appliance into the
domestic rubbish bin; it should be disposed to the
particular disposal center provided by the
municipalities.

MICROWAVE TERMS
Arcing:
Arcing is the microwave term for sparks in the oven.
Arcing is caused by:
• Metal or foil touching the side of the oven.
• Foil that is not molded to food (upturned edges act
like antennas).
• Metal such as twist-ties, poultry pins, gold-rimmed
dishes.
• Recycled paper towels containing small metal
pieces.
Covering:
Covers hold in moisture, allow for more even heating
and reduce cooking time. Venting plastic wrap or
covering with wax paper allows excess steam to
escape.
Shielding:
In a regular oven, you shield chicken breasts or baked
foods to prevent over-browning. When microwaving,
you use small strips of foil to shield thin parts, such as
the tips of wings and legs on poultry, which would cook
before larger parts.
Standing Time:
When you cook with regular ovens, foods such as
roasts or cakes are allowed to stand to finish cooking or
to set. Standing time is especially important in
microwave cooking. Note that a microwaved cake is not
placed on a cooling rack.
Venting:
After covering a dish with plastic wrap, you vent the
plastic wrap by turning back one corner so excess

BEFORE YOU CALL FOR SERVICE
If the oven fails to operate:
1. Check to ensure that the oven is plugged in
securely. If it is not, remove the plug from the
outlet, wait 10 seconds, and plug it in again
securely.
2. Check for a blown circuit fuse or a tripped main
circuit breaker. If these seem to be operating
properly, test the outlet with another appliance.
3. Check to ensure that the control panel is
programmed correctly and the timer is set.
4. Check to ensure that the door is securely closed
engaging the door safety lock system. Otherwise,
the microwave energy will not flow into the oven.
IF NONE OF THE ABOVE RECTIFIES THE SITUATION, THEN CONTACT A
QUALIFIED TECHNICIAN. DO NOT TRY TO ADJUST OR REPAIR THE OVEN
YOURSELF.
THINGS THAT ARE NORMAL
• TV-radio interference might be noticed while
using the microwave. Similar to the interference
caused by other small appliances, it does not
indicate a problem with the microwave. Plug the
microwave into a different electrical circuit, move
the radio or TV as far away from the microwave
as possible or check the position and signal of the
TV/radio antenna.
• Steam or vapor escaping from around the door.
• Light reflection around door or outer case.
• Dimming oven light and change in the blower
sound at power levels other than high
• Dull thumping sound while oven is operating.
