Microwave cooking principles
1. Arrange food carefully. Place thickest areas towards the outside of dish.
2. Watch cooking time. Cook for the shortest amount of time indicated and add more
time as needed. Food that is severely overcooked can smoke or ignite.
3. Cover food while cooking. Covers prevent spattering and help foods cook evenly.
4. Turn food over once during microwave cooking to speed the cooking process of
foods such as chicken and hamburgers. Large items such as 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 centre of the dish to the outside.
Utensils guide
1. The ideal material for a microwave utensil is transparent to microwave energy. This
allows energy to pass through the container and heat the food.
2. Microwaves 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 recommended, as food in
corners tends to overcook.
The list below is a general guide to help you to select the correct utensils.
Heat–Resistant Glass
Heat–Resistant Ceramics
Microwave–Safe Plastic Dish
Kitchen Paper
X Non Heat–Resistant Glass
X Metal Tray
X Metal Rack
X Aluminium Foil & Foil Containers*
*Narrow strips of aluminium foil may be used to prevent overcooking of exposed areas. Be
careful not to use too much foil, and keep a distance of 1 inch (2.54cm) between foil and
cavity.

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 personal injury resulting from failure to observe the electrical connection
procedures.
The wires in this cable main are coloured in accordance with the following code:
Green and Yellow EARTH
Blue NEUTRAL
Brown LIVE

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. THIS MICROWAVE OVEN MUST BE TAKEN TO A SERVICE TECHNICIAN.
