5. Do not attempt to operate the oven while empty.
6. Do not overcook food. Asmall quantity of food
with low moisture content or high fat or sugar
content can burn.
7, Do not cook bacon directly on the turntable.

mIt is quite normal for steam to be emitted around
the door, for misting to occur on the door, or
even for water droplets to appear below the door
during the cooking cycle. This is merely
condensation from the heat of the food.
ALTHOUGH YOUR OVEN IS PROVIDED WITH SAFETY FEATURES,
IT IS IMPORTANT TO OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:
a. Do not tamper with safety interlocks.
b. Do not place any object between the oven and the door or allow any food residue to accumulate on
sealing surfaces. Wipe the door sealing area frequently with amild detergent, rinse and wipe dry. Never
use abrasive powders or pads. Do not poke objects into any vents or openings in the oven.
c. When opened, the door must not be subjected to strain, for example, achild hanging on an opened
door may cause the oven to fall forward resulting in injury.
d. If any damage is apparent, do not operate the oven. Contact your nearest SANYO SERVICE CENTRE.

To reduce the risk of burns, electric shock, fire, injury
to persons or exposure to excessive microwave
energy:
1. Read all instructions before first use.
2. As with most cooking appliances, close
supervision is necessaty to reduce the risk of a
fire in the oven cavity.
If afire should start:
+Keep the oven door closed.

4.
Do not overcook food, Overcooked food can
cause fires in the oven. Carefully attend to the
oven’s activities, especially if paper, plastic, or
other combustibles are inside,
Do not store combustible items such as bread,
cookies, paper products, etc. inside the oven.
They may catch fire if turned on accidentally.
Do not use wire ties in the oven. Be sure to
inspect purchased items for wire ties and
remove before placing food in the oven.
Some products such as eggs in the shell, water

oven under adult supervision.
Use this oven only for its intended uses as
described in the manual. It is not designed for
industrial or laboratory use. Never use corrosive
chemicals orvapours in this oven.
Keep the oven away from heat and water
sources. Exposure to heat and water can lower
efficency and lead to malfunctioning.
When heating water or other fiquids, use awide
necked container to allow air bubbles to escape
freely. Using narrow-necked containers may
cause the liquid to boil over. This may happen
even after the cooking has stopped.
It is important to keep the oven interior clean. B
Food particles left on the oven wall reduces the
efficiency of the microwave
Take care not to sDill water on the alass viewina
window during or immediately after-cooking as it
may crack.

OVEN POSITIONING
Install the oven on a flat, level
surtace strong enough to
safely bear the weight of the
oven.
Do not locate the oven near
areas where heat and
moisture are generated as
this may lower oven efficiency.
Covering the air vents may
lead to malfunctioning,
therefore aminimum
clearance of 5cm is required
above, to each side, and to
the rear of the oven.
Some interference may occur
if the oven is placed too close
to aradio orTV, so keep them
as far apari as possible.

This basic microwave cooking
method allows you to cook
food for adesired time. In
addition to the maximum
power level, you can select dif-
ferent microwave power from 5
levels, 80W to 700W for the
foods that require slower
cooking.
Foods with high moisture .
content should be cooked on
maximum power, as this is the
fastest cooking method and
best maintains the natural
flavour and texture of the
foods.
Manual Defrosting
For manual defrosting (without
using Auto Defrost features),
use ISOW. To speed up the
defrosting of dense foods over
450g (1lb), the oven may stari
on full power for 1-3 minutes,
then be reduced to 150W until
defrosting is complete.
NOTE:
The time increments for the
“Down IUp” keys are as

ing method for frozen meat,
poultry, or fish. A+and -adjust
key is used to increase or
decrease the defrosting time if
neccesary.
Pause This feature has abuilt-
in pause mechanism to allow
for checking and rearranging
the food. The oven stops at the
End of the first defrost period
(about 1/4 of the total defrost
time). If you do not open the
door at the pause, the oven
restarts after 2minutes and
commences the second defrost
period.

it is better to underestimate defrosting times if you are unsure. Food
will continue to defrost during the standing time.
Separate food as soon as possible.
Turn large items, e.g joints, halfway through the defrosting time,
or at pause.
Remove any thawed food as soon as possible.
Remove or open any packaging before defrosting.
Place food in alarger container than that which it was frozen in, this
will allow for easy stirring.
Begin thawing poultry, breast side down and turn over halfway
through defrosting time or at pause. Delicate areas such as wing tips
can be shielded with small pieces of smooth foil.
Standing time is very important, particularly for large, dense foods
which cannot be stirred to ensure that the centre is completely
defrosted before cooking.

OPERATION
Q. What is wrong when the oven fight does not
Iunctlon?
A. Either:
●Thedoor isnot firmly closed.
or:
●Thehghtb ulbhasburnedout.
,.
Q. Why does steam come out of the air exhaust
vent?
A. Steam is normally produced during cooking.
The microwave oven has been designed to
allow this steam to escape.
Q. Canthemicrowave oven bedamagedif it is ‘
operated empty?
A. Yes, Never operate the oven while empty or
without the turntable positioned correctlyon
the roller rest.
Q. Why does noise sometimes come from the
turntable when the oven is turned on?
A. This noise occurs when the turntable roller rest
and cavity bottom are dirty. Frequent cleaning
of these parts should eliminate or reduce the
nome.
Q. Instruchons for aiuminium foil use are confusing.
When should foil be used?
A. It should be used to shield portions of food from
becoming overcooked or overdefrosted. Use
small flat pieces of foil for shielding.
Q. Why is 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 Ihe 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 hme for joints of meat, large
vegetables and cakes is to allow the inside to
cook completely, without overcooking the
Q. Why do sparks and crackling (arcing) occur in
the oven?
A. There maybe several reasons why sparks and
crackling within cavity (arcing) occur.
‘Adish with metal parts or trim is being used.
(silver or gold).
“Ametal utensil has been left in the oven.
‘Too much metal foil is being used.
‘Ametal twist-tie is present in the oven.
Q. Why does condensation appear in the oven ?
A. T~s is normal and occurs because the food is
cooking faster than the moisture can be

Q.
Why do eggs sometimes pop?
The egg yolk may pop because of abuild-up
of steam inside the membrane. To prevent
this, pierce the membrane before cooking it.
CAUTION: Never microwave eggs in the shell
since they may explode.
Why are scrambled eggs sometimes alittle
dry after cooking?
Eggs dry out if they are overcooked. You may
need to vary the cooking time for one of the
following reasons:
Eggs vary in size.
The initial temperature of the egg may vary
depending on where it is stored.
The shape of cooking utensils vary, which
makes it necessary to vary cooking time.
Eggs continue cooking during standing time.
Why do baked apples sometimes burst during
cooking?
The peel has not been removed from the top
half of each apple to allow for expansion of
the interior of the apple during cooking. As in
regular cooking methods, the interior of the
apple expands during Ihe cooking process.
How arq liquids prevented from boiling over?
Use alarger utensil than usual for cooking. If
you open the oven door or press Stop/Clear,
the food will stop boiling.
Why does the dish become hot when I
microwave food in it?
As the food becomes hot it will conduct the
heat into the dish. Use oven gloves to remove
food after cooking.
Does the density of afood affect its cooking
time in the microwave ?
A. Yes. Adense food such as meat will take
longer to cook, reheat or porous, light and
airy food such as bread, puddings and cakes.
This is because microwaves cannot penetrate
as deeply into denser, heavier foods.
