Important Safety Instructions (continued)
Precautions to be taken when using
Microwave Ovens for Heating Foodstuffs
INSPECTION FOR DAMAGE:
A microwave oven should only be used if an inspection
confirms all of the following conditions:
1. The door fits squarely, securely and opens and
closes smoothly.
2. The door hinges are in good condition.
3. The metal plates of a metal seal on the door are
neither buckled nor deformed.
4. The door seals are neither covered with food nor
have large burn marks.
PRECAUTIONS:
Microwave radiation from microwave ovens can cause
harmful effects if the following precautions are not
taken:
1. Never tamper with or deactivate the interlocking
devices on the door.
2. Never poke an object, particularly a metal object,
between the door and the oven while the oven is
operating.
3. Never place saucepans, unopened cans or other
heavy metal objects in the oven.
4. Do not let other metallic articles, e.g. fast food foil
containers, touch the side of the oven.
5. Clean the oven cavity, the door and the seals with
water and a mild detergent at regular intervals.
Never use any form of abrasive cleaner that may
scratch or scour surfaces around the door.
6. Do not use harsh abrasive cleaners or sharp
metal scrapers to clean the oven door glass, since
they can scratch the surface, which may result in
shattering of the glass.
7. Always use the oven with the cookware
recommended by the manufacturer.
8. Never operate the oven without a load (i.e., an
absorbing material such as food or water) in the
oven cavity unless specifically allowed in the
manufacturer’s literature.
9. For horizontally hinged doors, never rest heavy
objects such as food containers on the door while
it is open.
10. Do not place sealed containers in the microwave
oven. Baby bottles fitted with a screw cap or a teat
are considered to be sealed containers.
11. This appliance is not intended for use by persons
(including children) with reduced physical, sensory
or mental capabilities, or lack of experience
and knowledge, unless they have been given
supervision or instruction concerning use of the
appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
12. Children should be supervised to ensure that they
do not play with the appliance.
13. It is hazardous for anyone other than a competent
person to carry out any service or repair operation
that involves the removal of a cover which gives
protection against exposure to microwave energy.
14. The surfaces are liable to get hot during use.
15. The appliance must not be installed behind a
decorative door in order to avoid overheating.
Practical Hints:
1. For initial use of Grill, Oven, Steam and
Combination, if you see white smoke arise, it is
not a malfunction.
2. Exterior oven surfaces, including air vents on the
cabinet and the oven door will get hot during Grill,
Oven, Steam and Combination. Use care when
opening or closing door and when inserting or
removing food and accessory.
3. The oven has heating elements situated in the top
and in the base of the oven. After using the Grill,
Oven, and Combination modes, the ceiling will be
very hot.
Caution! Hot surfaces!
4. During use the appliance becomes hot. Care
should be taken to avoid touching heating elements
inside the oven.
5. The accessible parts may become hot when Grill,
Oven, Steam and Combination is in use. Children
should be kept away.
6. Before using Grill, Oven, and Combination
functions for the first time, operate the oven without
food and accessory on Oven 220 °C for
10 minutes. This will allow the oil that is used for
rust protection to be burned off. This is the only
time that the oven is operated completely empty.
Important Instructions
WARNING—To reduce the risk of burns, electric
shock, fire, injury to persons or excessive microwave
energy:
1. Read all instructions before using the microwave
oven.
2. Some products such as whole eggs and sealed
containers - (for example, closed glass jars and
sealed baby bottles with teat) - may explode and
should not be heated in the microwave oven.
3. Use this microwave oven only for its intended use
as described in this manual.
4. As with any appliance, close supervision is

Installation and General Instructions
Installation and General Instructions (continued)
General Use
1. In order to maintain high quality, do not operate
the oven when empty. The microwave energy will
reflect continuously throughout the oven if no food
or water is present to absorb energy. This can lead
to damage to the microwave oven including arcing
within the oven cavity.
2. If smoke is observed, tap Stop/Cancel and
leave door closed in order to stifle any flames.
Disconnect the power cord, and/or shut off power
at the fuse or circuit breaker panel.
3. The microwave oven is intended for heating food
and beverages. Drying of food or clothing and
heating of warming keys, slippers, sponges, damp
cloth and similar may lead to risk of injury, ignition
or fire.
4. Do not dry clothes, newspapers or other materials
in oven. They may catch on fire.
5. Do not use recycled paper products, unless the
paper product is labelled as safe for microwave
oven use. Recycled paper products may contain
impurities which may cause sparks and/or fires
when used.
6. Do not use newspapers or paper bags for cooking.
7. Do not hit or strike control panel. Damage to
controls may occur.
8. POT HOLDERS may be needed as heat from food
is transferred to the cooking container and from
the container to the oven. The oven can be very
hot after removing the cooking container from the
oven.
9. Do not store flammable materials next to, on top of,
or in the oven. It could be a fire hazard.
10. Do not cook food directly on the base of oven
unless indicated in recipes. (Food should be placed
in a suitable cooking utensil.)
11. DO NOT use this oven to heat chemicals or other
non-food products. DO NOT clean this oven with
any product that is labelled as containing corrosive
chemicals. The heating of corrosive chemicals
in this oven may cause microwave radiation
leaks.
12. When using the Combination with microwave
mode, never place any aluminum or metal
container directly on the Grill Tray.
13. Do not use the Grill Tray when cooking in the
Microwave mode only.
14. During cooking, some steam will condense inside
and/or on the oven door. This is normal and safe.
Steam will disappear after the oven is cool down.
15. Do not leave the microwave unattended while
reheating or cooking food in disposable containers
made of plastic, paper or other combustible
materials, as these types of containers can ignite if
overheated.
16. Metallic containers for food and beverages are not
allowed during microwave cooking.
17. Only use utensils that are suitable for use in
microwave ovens.
Placement of the Oven
This oven is intended for Counter-top use only. It is not
intended for built-in use or use inside a cupboard.
1. The oven must be placed on a flat, stable surface,
more than 85 cm above the floor. For correct
operation, the oven must have sufficient air flow,
i.e. 5 cm at one side, the other being open; 25
cm clear over the top; 10 cm at the rear. Do not
remove feet.
(a) Do not block air vents. If they are blocked
during operation, the oven may be overheated
and damaged. When using any cloth over the
oven, the air intake and exhaust should not be
blocked. Do not place a cloth on top of the unit
during Grill, Oven, Steam and Combination
cooking as the top of the oven gets very hot.
Also allow sufficient space on back and both
sides of the oven.
(b) Do not place oven near a hot or damp surface
such as a gas stove, electric range or sink etc.
(c) Do not operate oven when room humidity is too
high.
2. This oven was manufactured for household use
only.
Food
1. Do not use your oven for home canning or the
heating of any closed jar. Pressure will build up and
the jar may explode. In addition, the microwave
oven cannot maintain the food at the correct
canning temperature. Improperly canned food may
spoil and be dangerous to consume.
2. Do not attempt to deep fat fry in your microwave
oven.
3. Eggs in their shell and whole hard-boiled eggs
should not be heated in microwave ovens since
they may explode, even after microwave heating
has ended.
4. Potatoes, apples, egg yolks, chicken wings, whole
squash and sausages are examples of foods with
nonporous skins. This type of food must be pierced
before cooking, to prevent bursting.
5. When heating liquids, e.g. soup. sauces and
beverages in your microwave oven, overheating
the liquid beyond boiling point 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:
(a) Avoid using straight-sided containers with
narrow necks.
(b) Do not overheat.
(c) Stir the liquid before placing the container in the
oven and again halfway through cooking time.
(d) After heating, allow to stand in the oven for
a short time, stirring again before carefully
removing the container.
(e) Microwave heating of beverages can result in
delayed eruptive boiling, therefore care must be
taken when handling the container.
(f) As a general rule, always cover wet foods,e.g.
soups, casseroles and plated meals.
6. DO NOT USE A CONVENTIONAL MEAT
THERMOMETER IN THE MICROWAVE OVEN.
To check the degree of cooking of roasts and
poultry use a MICROWAVE THERMOMETER.
Alternatively, a conventional meat thermometer
may be used after the food is removed from the
oven. If undercooked, return meat or poultry to
the oven and cook for a few more minutes at the
recommended power level. It is important to ensure
that meat and poultry are thoroughly cooked.
7. COOKING TIMES given in the Cooking Guide
section are APPROXIMATE. Factors that may
affect cooking time are preferred degree of
moisture content, starting temperature, altitude,
volume, size, shape of food and utensils used. As
you become familiar with the oven, you will be able
to adjust for these factors.
8. It is better to UNDERCOOK RATHER THAN
OVERCOOK foods. If food is undercooked, it can
always be returned to the oven for further cooking.
If food is overcooked, nothing can be done. Always
start with minimum cooking times recommended.
9. Extreme care should be taken when cooking
popcorn in a microwave oven. Cook for minimum
time as recommended by manufacturer. Use
the directions suitable for the wattage of your
microwave oven. NEVER leave oven unattended
when popping popcorn.
10. When heating food in plastic or paper containers,
keep an eye on the oven due to the possibility of
ignition.
11. The contents of feeding bottles and baby food jars
are to be stirred or shaken and the temperature
is to be checked before consumption, in order to
avoid burns.

Microwaves and How They Work
Microwaves are a form of high frequency radio waves
similar to those used by a radio, including AM, FM
and CB. They are similar to a television where the
radio waves are converted to a picture on the screen.
However, microwaves are much shorter than radio
waves; approximately twelve centimetres wave length.
Electricity is converted into microwave energy by the
magnetron tube (which is the heart of the microwave
oven).
From the magnetron tube, microwave energy is
transmitted to the oven cavity. The microwaves are
converted to heat in the food. The microwaves enter
from the outside of the food and travel through the
food losing half of their power every two to three
centimetres. Continued cooking to the centre occurs
by conduction.
Although pacemakers used to be affected by
microwaves (as well as by other radio waves), they
are now shielded and are not bothered by these
interferences. This allows people with pacemakers
to sit calmly by their radio or television and cook with
microwave ovens.
When microwaves come in contact with a substance,
any one or combination of three things may occur.
They can be:
1. REFLECTED
2. TRANSMITTED
3. ABSORBED
Reflection
Metal substances REFLECT microwave energy and
because there is no absorption, there is no heating.
This is why the oven interior is either stainless steel or
epoxy-coated steel. This ensures that the microwaves
are kept inside the cavity and evenly distributed
throughout the food.
Transmission
Such substances as paper, glass and plastic
TRANSMIT microwave energy and do not become
hot except from food. Because these substances do
not reflect or absorb microwave energy, they are ideal
materials for microwave cooking containers.
Absorption
Food contains moisture and will ABSORB microwave
energy, which causes the moisture molecules within
the food to vibrate at an incredible rate (2,450,000,000
times per second). Friction, created by the vibration,
produces heat energy which is conducted throughout
the food.
Microwaves and How They Work (continued)
It is important to use the correct container when
cooking in a microwave oven. The following will help
you make the right selection.
How to Test a Container for Safe
Microwave Oven Use
TO TEST A CONTAINER FOR SAFE MICROWAVE
OVEN USE: Fill a 1-cup glass measure with cool
water and place it in the microwave oven alongside
the empty container to be tested; heat one (1) minute
at 1000 W. If the container is microwave ovensafe
(transparent to microwave energy), the container
should remain comfortably cool, the water in glass
measure should be hot. If the container is hot, it has
absorbed some microwave energy and should NOT be
used. This test cannot be used for plastic containers.
Paper Products and Freezer Wrap
Waxed paper, paper plates, cups and napkins should
not be used for heating or cooking food. Freezer wrap
should not be used as it is not heat resistant and
may melt. Paper towel, greaseproof paper and bake
paper may be safely used for short periods of time for
covering or lining.
Glass, Ceramic and China
Heat-Resistant glass cookware is invaluable in
microwave cooking. Many of these items are readily
available in most homes: glass jugs, mixing bowls, loaf
dishes, covered casseroles, oblong baking dishes, pie
plates and round or square cake dishes. Examples of
this type of cookware are Pyrex®and Corningware®.
Dinnerware can be used for microwave heating. Many
brands of dinnerware are microwave safe. Check
the care information for reference to microwave use
for dinnerware and serving pieces. If dinnerware
is marked ovenproof, it frequently is safe to use in
the microwave oven. However, to be sure, check by
conducting microwave dish test previously mentioned.
Several types of glassware and dinnerware are not
recommended for use in the microwave oven. Do not
use dishes with metallic trim or containers with metal
parts. Do not use cups or mugs with glued on handles,
as they may fall off with continued heating. Do not use
delicate glassware. Although the glassware may be
transparent to microwave energy the heat from the
food may cause the glassware to crack.
Plastic
Plastic dishes, cups and some freezer containers
should be used with care in a microwave oven. Choose
plastic containers carefully, as some plastic containers
may become soft, melt and may scorch. The majority
of plastic dishes, even those designed for use in the
microwave oven, are not suitable for cooking foods
with high fat or sugar content, or for lengthy cooking
times. Most microwave plastic dishes should not be
used for longer than 3 to 5 minutes on 1000 W. These
dishes, although not suitable for extended cooking,
may be used successfully for defrosting or for use on
lower power levels.
Cooking Bags designed to withstand boiling, freezing,
or conventional heating are microwave safe. Prepare
bags according to manufacturer’s directions. When
cooking by microwave, DO NOT use wire twistties
to close bag. They can act as an antenna and cause
arcing (sparks).
DO NOT COOK IN PLASTIC FOOD STORAGE
BAGS. Cling Film such as GLAD WRAP®can be used
to cover dishes in most recipes. Over an extended
heating time, some disfiguration of the wrap may
occur. When removing cling film “covers”, as well as
any glass lid, be careful to remove it away from you to
avoid steam burns.
Loosen plastic but let dish stand, covered.
Jars and Bottles
Jars and bottles can be used to warm food to serving
temperature, if the lid is removed first. Cooking should
not be done in these containers since most are not
heat resistant and during extended heating times, heat
from food would cause cracking or breaking.
Metal
Metal cookware or utensils, or those with metallic
trim, should NOT be used in the microwave. Since
microwave energy is reflected by metal, foods in
metal containers will not cook evenly. There is also a
possibility of “arcing”.
Although metal utensils should be avoided in
microwave cooking, some metal can be helpful when
used correctly. Aluminum foil can be used safely, if
certain guidelines are followed, to prevent overcooking.
Small pieces of foil are used to shield areas such
as chicken wings, tips of roasts, or other thin parts
that cook before the rest of the recipe is finished.
Make sure foil is attached securely and doesn’t touch
sides of oven, otherwise arcing may occur. Foil lined
containers, either cardboard or plastic, should NOT be
used in the microwave oven as arcing could occur.
Metal twist-ties, either paper or plastic coated, should
NOT be used in the microwave oven. Frozen dinner
trays can be used in the microwave, if the container
is no deeper than 2 cm and is filled with food. Metal
skewers can not be used in microwave ovens as
arcing may occur. Wooden skewers are readily
available and give the same result.
Shells: Scalloped baking shells are best used during
reheating and for short periods of cooking time only.
Thermometers are available for use in microwave
ovens. DO NOT USE CONVENTIONAL MERCURY
TYPE CANDY OR MEAT THERMOMETERS in food
while cooking in the microwave oven.
Straw, Wicker and Wood
Straw and wicker baskets may be used in the
microwave oven for short periods of time to warm
rolls or bread. Large wooden utensils, such as bowls
or cutting boards should NOT be used for prolonged
heating as the microwave energy may cause the wood
to become dry and brittle.

Base of oven
To reheat a frozen pre-cooked meal. All foods must be pre-cooked
and frozen (-18 °C). Reheat in container as purchased. Pierce
covering film with a sharp knife once in the center and four times
around the edge. If transferring food to dish, cover with pierced cling
film. Place container on base of oven. Select program number 1. Start
to cook. Stir at beeps and cut any blocks into pieces. Stir again at end

Adjust to Taste
The Sensor Reheat Program reheats a chilled meal or a frozen meal for average tastes. You are able to
adjust the Sensor Reheat Program to your own taste. After pressing the Dial, " / "symbol appears in the
display,turn Dial clockwise for more time or anticlockwise for less time. This operation should be completed
within 14 seconds. Default mode is normal.
How it Works
Once the Sensor Reheat Program has been selected and the Dial is pressed the food is heating up. As food
begins to get hot, steam is emitted. When the food reaches a certain temperature and begins to cook, an even
greater amount of steam is released. The increase in steam emission is detected by a humidity sensor in the
oven. This acts as a signal for the oven to calculate how much longer the food needs to reheat. The remaining
cooking time will appear in the display window after two beeps. Whilst the sensor program is still in the display
window the oven door should not be opened. Wait until the cooking time appears in the window, and then open
the door if required, to stir or turn the food.
Notes:
1. This feature is not suitable for foods that cannot be stirred eg. lasagne / macaroni cheese.
2. The oven automatically calculates the reheating time or the remaining reheating time.
3. The door should not be opened before the time appears in the display window.
4. To prevent any mistakes during Sensor Reheat Programs ensure that base of oven and the container are dry.
5. The room temperature should not be more than 35 °C and not less than 0 °C.
6. If the oven has previously been used and it is too hot to be used on Sensor Reheat Programs, ‘HOT’ will
appear in the display window. After the ‘HOT’ disappears, the Sensor Reheat Programs may be used. If in a
hurry, cook food manually by selecting the correct cooking mode and cooking time yourself.

conducting to the centre.
8. To allow for some variations that occur in food, check that food is thoroughly cooked and piping hot before
serving.
9. The temperature for frozen food is assumed to be -18 °C to -20 °C. The temperature of chilled food is
assumed to be +5 °C to +8 °C (refrigerator temperature).
10. If ‘HOT’ appears in the display window, the oven temperature is too high from previous use and an auto
program can not be set. Cooking mode and time may still be set manually.
11. When " " is blinking, fill the water tank.
