PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE
EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE
MICRO AVE ENERGY
ARNING
When heating liquids, e.g. soups, sauces and beve ages in you mic owave oven, delayed e uptive boiling can
occu without evidence of bubbling. This could esult in a sudden boil ove of the hot liquid. To p event this
possibility the following steps should be taken:
1. Avoid using st aight-sided containe s with na ow necks.
2. Do not ove heat.
3. Sti the liquid befo e placing the containe in the oven and again halfway th ough the
heating time.
4. Afte heating, allow to stand in the oven fo a sho t time. Sti o shake the contents (especially feeding
bottles and baby foods) and ca efully check the tempe atu e befo e use.
1. Remove all packing mate ials and accesso ies.
2. Place the oven on a level su face a minimum of 85cm above the floo with at least 30cm above and 10cm ea
space to allow adequate ventilation. The side of the oven should be kept clea so the e is ai flow fo ventilation.
The f ont of the oven should be at least 8cm f om the edge of the su face to p event tipping.
An exhaust outlet is located on top o side of the oven. Blocking the outlet can damage the oven.
3. Plug you oven into a standa d voltage household outlet. Ensu e that the elect ical ci cuit is at least 10 amps
(13 amps fo models MB-3724W
The wi es in the mains lead a e colou ed in acco dance with the following code:

Other Helpful Instructions
Cleaning and Care
For best results and more enjoyable cooking,
please read these comments thoroughly.
For Best Results:
1. When dete mining the time fo a pa ticula food,
begin by using minimum time and checking con-
dition occasionally. It is easy to ove cook food
because mic owaves cook ve y quickly.
2. Small quantities of food, o foods with low wate
content may d y out and become ha d if
cooked too long.
Defrosting Frozen Foods:
1. Foods that have been f ozen can be placed
di ectly in the oven fo thawing. (Be ce tain
to emove any metallic ties o w aps.)
2. Def ost acco ding to the Def osting Tips found in
this Manual.
3. Fo a eas of the food thawing faste than othe s,
cove with small pieces of aluminium foil. This
helps slow down o stop the def osting p ocess.
4. Some foods should not be completely thawed
befo e cooking. Fo example, fish cooks so
quickly that it is sometimes bette to begin
cooking while still slightly f ozen.
5. It may be necessa y to inc ease o dec ease the
cooking time in some ecipes, depending
on the sta ting tempe atu e of the foods.
NOTE:
Ai f om the vent may become wa m du ing
cooking.
Browning:
The e a e a few foods which a e not cooked long
enough in the mic owave oven to b own and may
need additional colou .
Coatings such as pap ika, and b owning agents
such as Wo ceste shi e sauce may be used on
chops, meat patties o chicken pieces.
Roasts, poult y o ham, cooked fo 10-15 minutes o

Defrosting Tips
Defrosting meats tips & techniques
• You can def ost meats in thei o iginal w apping as long as no metal is p esent. If necessa y, shield small
a eas of meat o poult y with flat pieces of aluminium foil. This will p event thin a eas becoming wa m du -
ing def osting. Ensu e the foil does not touch the oven walls.
• Food to be def osted should be in a suitable mic owave safe containe and placed uncove ed on the
glass tu ntable.
• Def ost meats only as long as necessa y. Sepa ate items like minced meat, chops, sausages and bacon as
soon as possible. Remove def osted po tions and continue to def ost emaining pieces. It is essential that
food is checked du ing DEFROSTING as diffe ent foods va y in thei def osting speed.
• Whole pieces of meat a e eady fo standing time as soon as a fo k can be pushed into the cente of the
meat using mode ate p essu e. The cente will still be icy. Allow to stand until completely thawed.
• Def ost meat on def ost mode.

Questions and Answers
Q. What’s w ong when the oven light will not
glow?
A. ■Light bulb has blown.
■Doo is not closed.
Q. Why is steam coming out of the ai exhaust
vent and/o why is wate d ipping f om the
bottom of the doo ?
A. Steam is no mally p oduced du ing cooking
ope ations. The mic owave has been made
to vent this steam out of the side vent,
occasionally this steam condenses on the
doo and wate then d ips out at the bottom
of the doo . This is quite no mal and safe.
Q. Does mic owave ene gy pass th ough the
viewing sc een in the doo ?
A. No. The metal sc een eflects the ene gy to
the oven cavity. The holes, o po ts a e
made to allow light to pass; they do not let
mic owave ene gy th ough.
Q. Will the mic owave oven be damaged if it
ope ates while empty?
A. Yes. Neve un it empty.
Q. Why do eggs sometimes pop?
A. When baking o poaching eggs, the yolk
may pop due to steam build-up inside the yolk
memb ane. To p event this, simply pie ce the
yolk with a toothpick befo e cooking.
Neve cook eggs witthout pie cing thei shells.
Q. Why is standing time ecommended afte the
cooking ope ation has been completed?
A. Standing time is ve y impo tant.
With mic owave cooking, the heat is in the
food, not in the oven.
Many foods build up enough inte nal heat to
allow the cooking p ocess to continue, even
afte the food is emoved f om the oven.
Standing time fo joints of meat, la ge
vegetables and cakes is to allow the inside to
cook completely, without ove cooking the outside.
Q. Why does my oven not always cook as fast
as the mic owave cooking guide says?
A. Check you cooking guide again, to make
su e you’ve followed di ections exactly;
and to see what might cause va iations in
cooking time. Cooking guide times and heat
settings a e suggestions, to help p event
ove -cooking . . . the most common p oblem
in getting used to a mic owave oven.
Va iations in the size, shape and weights and
dimensions could equi e longe cooking time.
Use you own judgement along with the
cooking guide suggestions to check
whethe the food has been p ope ly cooked
just as you would do with a conventional
cooke .
Q. Why do spa ks and c ackling (a cing) occu
in the oven?
A. The e may be seve al easons why spa ks
and c ackling (a cing) within cavity happens.
■You a e using dishes with metal pa ts o t im
(silve o gold).
■You have left a fo k o othe metal utensil in
the oven.
■You a e using a la ge amount of metal foil.
■You a e using a metal twist-tie.
