The
oven
cannot
be
operated
with the
door
open
due
to
the
safety
interlocks
built
in
the
door
mechanism
which
switch
off
cooking
functions
when
the
door
is
opened.
Operating
the
oven
with
the
door
open
could
result
in
harmful
exposure
to
microwave
energy.
It
is
important
not
to
tamper
with
the
door
mechanism.
Do
not
place
any
object
between
the
oven
front
face
and
the
door
or
allow
soil
or
cleaner
residue
to
accumulate
on
sealing
surfaces.
Do
not
operate
the
oven
if
it
is
damaged.
It
is
particularly
important
that
the
oven
door
closes
properly
and
that
there
is
no
damage
to
the
(1)
door
(bent),
(2)
hinges
and
latches
(broken
or
loosened),
(3)
door
seals
and
sealing
surfaces.
The
oven
should
not
be
adjusted
or
repaired
by
anyone
except
qualified
service
personnel.
Warning
Installation
1.
Remove
all
packing
materials
and
accessories.
2.
Place the
oven
on
a
level
surface
a
minimum
of
85cm
above
the
floor
with
at
least
30cm
above
and
10cm
rear
space
to
allow
adequate
ventilation.
The
side
of
the
oven
should
be
kept
clear
so
there
is
air
flow
for ventilation.
The
front
of
the
oven
should
be
at
least
8cm
from
the
edge
of
the
surface
to
prevent
tipping.
An
exhaust
outlet
is
located
on
top
or
side
of
the
oven.
Blocking
the
outlet
can
damage
the
oven.
3.
Plug
your
oven
into
a
standard
voltage
household
outlet.
Ensure
that
the
electrical
circuit
is
at
least
10
amps
and
that
the
oven
is
the
only
appliance
on
the
circuit.
NOTE:
This
appliance
should
not
be
used
for
commercial
catering
purposes.
Precautions
to
avoid
possible
exposure
to
excessive
microwave
energy.
Precautions
When
heating
liquids,
e.g.
soups,
sauces
and
beverages
in
your
microwave
oven,
delayed
eruptive
boiling
can
occur
without
evidence
of
bubbling.
This
could
result
in
a
sudden
boil
over
of
the
hot
liquid.
To
prevent
this
possibility
the
following
steps
should
be
taken:
1.
Avoid
using
straight-sided
containers
with
narrow
necks.
2.
Do
not
overheat.
3.
Stir
the
liquid
before
placing
the
container
in
the
oven
and
again
halfway
through
the
heating
time.
4.
After
heating,
allow
to
stand
in
the
oven
for
a
short
time.
Stir
or
shake
the
contents
(especially
feeding
bottles
and
baby
foods)
and
carefully
check
the
temperature
before
use.

For
Best
Results:
1.
When
determining
the
time
for
a
particular
food,
begin
by
using
minimum
time
and
checking
condition
occasionally.
It
is
easy
to
overcook
food
because
microwaves
cook
very
quickly.
2.
Small
quantities
of
food,
or
foods
with
low
water
content
may
dry
out
and
become
hard
if
cooked
too
long.
Defrosting
Frozen
Foods:
1.
Foods
that
have
been
frozen
can
be
placed
directly
in
the
oven
for
thawing.
(Be
certain
to
remove
any
metallic
ties
or
wraps.)
2.
Defrost
according
to
the
Defrosting
Tips
found
in
this
Manual.
3.
For
areas
of
the
food
thawing
faster
than
others,
cover
with
small
pieces
of
aluminium
foil.
This
helps
slow
down
or
stop
the
defrosting
process.
4.
Some
foods
should
not
be
completely
thawed
before
cooking.
For
example,
fish
cooks
so
quickly
that
it
is
sometimes
better
to
begin cooking
while
still
slightly
frozen.
5.It
may
be
necessary
to
increase
or
decrease
the
cooking
time
in
some
recipes,
depending
on
the
starting
temperature
of
the
foods.
NOTE:
Air
from
the
vent
may
become
warm
during
cooking.

Defrosting
frozen
food
is
one
of
the
benefits
of
a
microwave
oven.
Defrosting
using
a
microwave

of
harmful
bacteria.
It
is
important
to
remember
that
defrosting
takes
longer
than
normal
cooking.
Check
the
food,
turning
it
over
at
least
once
during
defrosting.

Questions
&
Answers
12
Q.
What's
wrong
when
the
oven
light
will
not
glow?
A.
Light
bulb
has
blown.
Door
is
not
closed.
Q.
Why
is
steam
coming
out
of
the
air
exhaust
vent
and/or
why
is
water
dripping
from
the
bottom
of
the
door?
A.
Steam
is
normally
produced
during
cooking
operations.
The
microwave
has
been
made
to
vent
this
steam
out
of
the
side
vent,
occasionally
this
steam
condenses
on
the
door
and
water
then
drips
out
at
the
bottom
of
the door.
This
is
quite
normal
and
safe.
Q.
Does
microwave
energy
pass
through
the
viewing
screen
in
the
door?
A.
No.
The
metal
screen
reflects
the
energy
to
the
oven
cavity.
The
holes,
or
ports
are
made
to
allow
light
to
pass;
they
do
not
let
microwave
energy
through.
Q.
Will
the
microwave
oven
be
damaged
if
it
operates
while
empty?
A.
Yes.
Never
run
it
empty.
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
witthout
piercing
their
shells.
Q.
Why
is
standing
time
recommended
after
the
cooking
operation
hasbeen
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,
largevegetables
and
cakes
is
to
allow
the
inside
to
cook
completely,
without
overcooking
the
outside.
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.
Why
do
sparks
and
crackling
(arcing)
occur
in
the
oven?
A.
There
may
be
several
reasons
why
sparks
and
crackling
(arcing)
within
cavity
happens.
You
are
using
dishes
with
metal
parts
or
trim
(silver
or
gold).
You
have
left
a
fork
or
other
metal
utensil
in
the
oven.
You
are
using
a
large
amount
of
metal
foil.
You
are
using
a
metal
twist-tie.
