Other Helpful Instructions
Cleaning and Care
For best results and more enjoyable cooking,
please read these comments thoroughly.
For Best Results:
1. When determining the time or a particular ood,
begin by using minimum time and checking con-
dition occasionally. It is easy to overcook ood
because microwaves cook very quickly.
2. Small quantities o ood, or oods with low water
content may dry out and become hard i
cooked too long.
Defrosting Frozen Foods:
1. Foods that have been rozen can be placed
directly in the oven or thawing. (Be certain
to remove any metallic ties or wraps.)
2. De rost according to the De rosting Tips ound in
this Manual.
3. For areas o the ood thawing aster than others,
cover with small pieces o aluminium oil. This
helps slow down or stop the de rosting process.
4. Some oods should not be completely thawed
be ore cooking. For example, ish cooks so
quickly that it is sometimes better to begin
cooking while still slightly rozen.
5. It may be necessary to increase or decrease the
cooking time in some recipes, depending
on the starting temperature o the oods.
NOTE:
Air rom the vent may become warm during
cooking.
Browning:
There are a ew oods which are not cooked long
enough in the microwave oven to brown and may
need additional colour.
Coatings such as paprika, and browning agents
such as Worcestershire sauce may be used on
chops, meat patties or chicken pieces.
Roasts, poultry or ham, cooked or 10-15 minutes or
longer, will brown without extra additives.
BE SURE THE OVEN IS TURNED OFF BEFORE
CLEANIN .
Keep the oven interior sur aces clean and dry.
As a general rule clean a ter each use.
INTERIOR WALLS
Remove any crumbs and ood remains between the
door and oven using a damp cloth. This area has
to be particularly well cleaned to ensure the door
will close properly. Remove any grease splashes
with a soapy cloth then rinse and dry. Do not use
abrasives which may scratch and damage the
painted sur ace o the oven.
NEVER POUR WATER INTO THE OVEN
ROLLER REST
The roller rest should be removed and cleaned in
hot soapy water at least once a week to prevent
grease restricting the rotation o the wheels.
DOOR
The door and door seals should be kept clean at
all times. Use only warm, soapy water to rinse then
dry thoroughly.
DO NOT USE ABRASIVE MATERIALS, SUCH AS
CLEANING POWDERS OR STEEL AND PLASTIC
PADS.
Metal parts will be easier to maintain i wiped
requently with a damp cloth.
EXTERIOR
Clean with mild soap and warm water, rinse and
dry with a so t cloth. Do not use abrasive materials.
Do not spill water in the vents. I the power lead
becomes soiled wipe it with a damp cloth.

Defrosting meats tips & techniques
“WARNIN : Do not use aluminium foil during cooking cycle.”
• You can de rost meats in their original wrapping as long as no metal is present. Remove any metal rings,
twist ties, wire or oil.
• Place meat in a shallow baking dish to catch juices.
• De rost meats only as long as necesssary. Separate items like chops, sausages and bacon as soon as
possible. Remove de rosted portions and continue to de rost remaining pieces.
• Whole pieces o meat are ready or standing time as soon as a ork can be pushed into the centre o the
meat using moderate pressure. The centre will still be icy. Allow to stand until completely thawed.
• De rost meat on de rost mode.

Questions and Answers
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 o the air exhaust
vent and/or why is water dripping rom the
bottom o the door?
A. Steam is normally produced during cooking
operations. The microwave has been made
to vent this steam out o the side vent,
occasionally this steam condenses on the
door and water then drips out at the bottom
o the door. This is quite normal and sa e.
Q. Does microwave energy pass through the
viewing screen in the door?
A. No. The metal screen re lects 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 i 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 be ore cooking.
Never cook eggs witthout piercing their shells.
Q. Why is standing time recommended a ter the
cooking operation has been completed?
A. Standing time is very important.
With microwave cooking, the heat is in the
ood, not in the oven.
Many oods build up enough internal heat to
allow the cooking process to continue, even
a ter the ood is removed rom the oven.
Standing time or joints o meat, large
vegetables and cakes is to allow the inside to
cook completely, without overcooking the outside.
Q. Why does my oven not always cook as ast
as the microwave cooking guide says?
A. Check your cooking guide again, to make
sure you’ve ollowed 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 ood 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 le t a ork or other metal utensil in
the oven.
■You are using a large amount o metal oil.
■You are using a metal twist-tie.
