IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ CAREFULLY AND KEEP FOR FUTURE REFERENCE
WARNING : To prevent fire, burns, electric shock and other warnings:
Listed below are, as with all appliances, certain rules to follow and safeguards to assure high
performance from this oven:
1. Do not use the oven for any reason other than food
preparation, such as for drying clothes, paper, or any
other nonfood items or for sterilizing purposes.
2. Do not use the oven when empty, this could damage
the oven.
3. Do not use the oven cavity for any type of storage,
such as papers, cookbook, cookware, etc.
4. Make sure you remove caps or lids prior to cooking
when you cook food sealed in bottles.
5. Do not put foreign material between the oven surface
and door. It could result in excessive leakage of
microwave energy.
6. Do not use recycled paper products for cooking. They
may contain impurities which could cause sparks and/
or fires when used during cooking.
7. Do not pop popcorn unless popped in a microwave
approved popcorn popper or unless it's commercially
packaged and recommended especially for microwave
ovens. Microwave popped corn produces a lower yield
than conventional popping; there will be a number of
unpopped kernels. Do not use oil unless specified by
the manufacturer.
8. Do not cook any food surrounded by a membrane,
such as egg yolks, potatoes, chicken livers, etc.,
without first piercing them several times with a fork.
9. Do not pop popcorn longer than the manufacturer's
directions. (popping time is generally below 3 minutes).
Longer cooking does not yield more popped corn, it
can cause scorchings and fire. Also, the cooking tray
can become too hot to handle or may break.
10. If smoke is observed, switch off or unplug the appliance
and keep the door closed in order to stifle any flames.
11. When heating food in plastic or paper containers, keep
an eye on the oven due to the possibility of ignition.
12. The contents of feeding bottles and baby food jars shall
be stirred or shaken and the temperature checked
before consumption, in order to avoid burns.
13. Always test the temperature of food or drink which has
been heated in a microwave oven before you give it to
somebody, especially to children or elderly people. This
is important because things which have been heated in
a microwave oven carry on getting hotter even though
the microwave oven cooking has stopped.
14. 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;
15. Keep the waveguide cover clean at all times. Wipe the
oven interior with a soft damp cloth after each use. If
you leave grease or fat anywhere in the cavity it may
overheat, smoke or even catch fire when next using
the oven.
16. Never heat oil or fat for deep frying as you cannot
control the temperature and doing so may lead to
overheating and fire.
17. Liquids, such as water, coffee, or tea are able to be
overheated beyond the boiling point without appearing
to be boiling due to surface tension of the liquid. Visible
bubbling or boiling when the container is removed from
the microwave oven is not always present. THIS
COULD RESULT IN VERY HOT LIQUIDS
SUDDENLY BOILING OVER WHEN A SPOON OR
OTHER UTENSIL IS INSERTED INTO THE LIQUID.
To reduce the risk of injury to persons:
a) Do not overheat the liquid.
b) Stir the liquid both before and halfway through
heating it
c) Do not use straight-sided containers with narrow
necks.
d) After heating, allow the container to stand in the
microwave oven for a short time before removing the
container.
e) Use extreme care when inserting a spoon or other
utensil into the container.
18. Oven should be cleaned regularly and any food
deposits removed.
19. Failure to maintain the oven in a clean condition could
lead to deterioration of the surface that could adversely
affect the life of the appliance and possibly result in a
hazardous situation.
20. 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.
21. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do
not play with the appliance.
22. Only use utensils that are suitable for use in microwave
ovens.

MICROWAVING PRINCIPLES
Microwave energy has been used in this country to cook and reheat food since early experiments with RADAR
in World War ll. Microwaves are present in the atmosphere all the time, both naturally and manmade sources.
Manmade sources include radar, radio, television, telecommunication links and car phones.

HOW MICROWAVES COOK FOOD
Microwave oven is a Group 2 ISM equipment in which radiofrequency energy is intentionally generated and
used in the form of electromagnetic radiation for the treatment of material. This oven is a Class B equipment
suitable for use in domestic establishments and in establishments directly connected to a low voltage power
supply network which supplies buildings used for domestic purposes.

100 ml 3 fl.oz.
150 ml 5 fl.oz. (¼ pt)

1 Quart = 32 fl.oz. (UK 40 fl.oz.) = 960 ml (UK 1120 ml)
1 Gallon = 128 fl.oz. (UK 160 fl.oz.) = 3840 ml (UK 4500 ml)
Then they pass through
the cooking containers to
be absorbed by the water
molecules in the food, all
foods contain water to a
more or lesser extent.
The microwaves cause the water molecules to
vibrate which causes FRICTION, i.e. HEAT. This
heat then cooks the food. Microwaves are also
attracted to fat and sugar particles, and foods high
in these will cook more quickly. Microwaves can
only penetrate to a depth of 1½ - 2 inches(4-5cm)
and as heat spreads through the food by
conduction, just as in a traditional oven, the food
cooks from the outside inwards.
In a microwave oven,
electricity is converted
into microwave by the
MAGNETRON.
The microwaves
bounce off the metal
walls and the metal
door screen.

COOKING INSTRUCTIONS
Utensil Guide
Only use utensils that are suitable for use in microwave ovens.
To cook food in the microwave oven, the microwaves must be able to penetrate the food, without
being reflected or absorbed by the dish used. Care must therefore be taken choosing the utensil. If the
utensil is marked microwave-safe, you do not need to worry. The following table lists various of utensil
and indicates whether and how they should be used in a microwave oven.
O: Recommended use
V: Limited Use
: Not Recommended
Utensil Safe Comments
Aluminium foil ▲Can be used in small quantities to protect areas against
overcooking. Arcing can occur if the foil is too close to the oven
wall or if too much foil is used.

STANDING TIME
Dense foods e.g. meat, jacket potatoes and
cakes, require standing time(inside or outside of
the oven) after cooking, to allow heat to finish
conducting to cook the center completely. Wrap
meat joints and jacket potatoes in aluminium foil
while standing. Meat joints need approx. 10-15
minutes, jacket potatoes 5 minutes. Other foods
such as plated meal, vegetables, fish etc require
2-5 minutes standing. After defrosting food,
standing time should also be allowed. If food is
not cooked after standing time, return to the oven
and cook for additional time.
MOISTURE CONTENT
Many fresh foods e.g. vegetables and fruit, vary
in their moisture content throughout the season,
particularly jacket potatoes. For this reason
cooking times may have to be adjusted. Dry
ingredients e.g. rice, pasta, can dry out during
storage so cooking times may differ.
DENSITY
Porous airy foods heat more quickly than dense
heavy foods.
CLING FILM
Cling film helps keep the food moist and the
trapped steam assists in speeding up cooking
times. Pierce before cooking to allow excess
steam to escape. Always take care when
removing cling film from a dish as the build-up of
steam will be very hot.
SHAPE
Even shapes cook evenly. Food cooks better by
microwave when in a round container rather than
square.
SPACING
Foods cook more quickly and evenly if spaced
apart. NEVER pile foods on top of each other.
STARTING TEMPERATURE
The colder the food, the longer it takes to heat
up. Food from a fridge takes longer to reheat
than food at room temperature.
LIQUIDS
All liquids must be stirred before and during
heating. Water especially must be stirred before
and during heating, to avoid eruption. Do not heat
liquids that have previously been boiled. DO NOT
OVERHEAT.
TURNING & STIRRING
Some foods require stirring during cooking. Meat
and poultry should be turned after half the
cooking time.
ARRANGING
Individual foods e.g. chicken portions or chops,
should be placed on a dish so that the thicker
parts are towards the outside.
QUANTITY
Small quantities cook faster than large quantities,
also small meals will reheat more quickly than
large portions.
PIERCING
The skin or membrane on some foods will cause
steam to build up during cooking. These foods
must be pierced or a strip of skin should be
peeled off before cooking to allow the steam to
escape. Eggs, potatoes, apples, sausages etc,
will all need to be pierced before cooking. DO
NOT ATTEMPT TO BOIL EGGS IN THEIR
SHELLS.
COVERING
Cover foods with microwave cling film or a lid.
Cover fish, vegetables, casseroles, soups. Do not
cover cakes, sauces, jacket potatoes or pastry
items.

CARE OF YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN
Turn the oven off before cleaning.
Keep the inside of the oven clean. When food spatters or spilled liquids adhere to
oven walls, plate tray, stirrer
cover and inlet cover
wipe with a damp cloth. Mild detergent may be used if the oven gets very dirty. The use of
harsh detergent or abrasives is not recommended.
The outside oven surface should be cleaned with soap and water, rinsed and dried with a soft cloth. To prevent
damage to the operating parts inside the oven, water should not be allowed to seep into the ventilation openings.
If the Control Panel becomes wet, clean with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use harsh detergents or abrasives on
Control Panel.
If steam accumulates inside or around the outside of the oven door, wipe with a soft cloth. This may occur when
the microwave oven is operated under high humidity conditions and in no way indicates malfunction of the unit.
CARE AND CLEANING
Although your oven is provided with safety features, it is important to observe the following:
1. It is important not to defeat or tamper with safety interlocks.
2. Do not place any object between the oven front face and the door or allow residue to accumulate on sealing
surfaces. Wipe the sealing area frequently with a mild detergent, rinse and dry. Never use abrasive powders
or pads.
3. When opened, the door must not be subjected to strain, for example, a child hanging on an opened door or
any load could cause the oven to fall forward to cause injury and also damage to the door. Do not operate
the oven if it is damaged, until it has been repaired by a competent service technician. It is particularly
important that the oven closes properly and that there is no damage to the:
i) Door(bent)
ii) Hinges and Hookes(broken or loosened)
iii) Door seals and sealing surfaces.
4. The oven should not be adjusted or repaired by anyone except a properly competent service technician.
5. The oven should be cleaned regularly and any food deposits removed;
6. Failure to maintain the oven in a clean condition could lead to deterioration of the surface that could
adversely affect the life of the appliance and possibly result in a hazardous situation.

USE YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN SAFELY
Do not attempt to defeat or tamper with safety
interlocks.
Do not place any object between the oven front
frame and the door or allow residue to build up on
sealing surfaces. Wipe with a mild detergent, rinse
and dry. Never use abrasive powders or pads.
Do not subject the oven door to strain or weight such
as a child hanging on an open door.
This could cause the oven to fall forward resulting in
injury to you and damage to the oven.
Do not operate the oven if door seals or sealing
surfaces are damaged; or if door is bent; or if hinges
are loose or broken.
Do not operate the oven empty. This will damage the
oven.
Do not attempt to dry clothes, newspapers or other
materials in the oven. They may catch on fire.
Do not use recycled paper products as they may
contain impurities which may cause sparks or fires.
Do not hit or strike the control panel with hard
objects. This can damage the oven.
General Use
Never use your microwave oven for home canning.
The oven is not designed for proper home canning.
Improperly canned food may spoil and be dangerous
to consume.
Always use the minimum recipe cooking time. It is
better to undercook rather than overcook foods.
Undercooked foods can be returned to the oven for
more cooking. If food is overcooked, nothing can be
done.
Heat small quantities of food or foods with low
moisture carefully. These can quickly dry out, burn or
catch on fire.
Do not heat eggs in the shell. Pressure may build up
and eggs can explode.
Potatoes, apples, egg yolks and sausages are
examples of food with non-porous skins.
These must be pierced before cooking to prevent
bursting.
Do not attempt to deep fat fry in your microwave
oven.
Always allow a standing time of at least 20 seconds
after the oven has been switched off to allow the
temperature to even out, stir during heating, if
necessary, and ALWAYS stir after heating. To
prevent eruptive boiling and possible scalding, you
should put a spoon or glass stick into the beverages
and stir before, during and after heating.
Do not leave the oven unattended while popping
corn.
Do not pop corn in a paper bag unless it is the
commercially prepared Microwave Popcorn product.
The kernels can overheat and ignite a brown paper
bag.
Do not put packaged Microwave Popcorn bags
directly on the oven tray. Place the package on a
microwave safe glass or ceramic plate to avoid
overheating and cracking the oven tray.
Do not exceed the Microwave Popcorn
manufacturers suggested popping time.
Longer popping does not yield more popcorn but it
can result in scorch, burn of fire. Remember, the
Popcorn bag and tray can be too hot to handle.
Remove with caution and use pot holders.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
* Q : I accidentally ran my microwave oven
without any food in it. Is it damaged?
*A : Running the oven empty for a short time will
not damage the oven. However, it is not
recommended.
* Q : Can I open the door when the oven is
operating?
*A : The door can be opened anytime during the
cooking operation. Then microwave energy
will be instantly switched off and the time
setting will maintain until the door is closed.
* Q : Why do I have moisture in my microwave
oven after cooking?
*A : The moisture on the side of your microwave
oven is normal. It is caused by steam from
cooking food hitting the cool oven surface.
* Q : Does microwave energy pass through the
viewing screen in the door?
*A : No. The metal screen bounces back the
energy to the oven cavity. The holes are
made to allow light to pass through. They do
not let microwave energy pass through.
* 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 without piercing their shells.
* Q : Why this standing time recommended
after the cooking operation has been
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, large vegetables and cakes is
to allow the inside to cook completely,
GGGU
* Q : What does "standing time " mean?
*A : “Standing time” means that food should be
removed from the oven and covered for
additional time to allow it to finish cooking.
This frees the oven for other cooking.
* 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 : Will the microwave oven be damaged if it
operates while empty?
*A : Yes. Never run it empty.
* Q : Can I pop popcorn in my microwave
oven? How do I get the best results?
*A : Yes. Pop packaged microwave popcorn
following manufacture’s guidelines. Do not
use regular paper bags. Use the “listening
test” by stopping the oven as soon as the
popping slows to a “pop” every 1 or 2
seconds. Do not repop unpopped kernels.
Do not pop popcorn in glass cookware.
