Some products such as eggs in the shell, water
with oil or fat, sealed containers and closed
glass jars may explode and therefore should
not be heated in this oven.
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 or vapours in this oven.
As with any appliance, children should use the
oven only under adult supervision.
Do not store or use this appliance outdoors.
Keep the oven away from heat and water
sources. Exposure to heat and water can lower
efficiency and lead to malfunctioning.
When heating water or other liquids, use a
wide 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 door and the oven
interior clean.
(See “Cleaning” instructions on page 14. )

This basic microwave cooking
method allows you to cook food
for adesired time. In addition to
the HI (maximum) power level,
you can select different
microwave power from 9levels,
1(107. of total power) to 9(90~0
power) for the foods that require
slower cooking. The oven also
provides power level O(no
power) so that the clock can be
utilized as a minute timer.
See page 12 for details.
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.
To check the power level during
cooking, touch POWER LEVEL.
The power level appears in the
display window.
Manual Defrosting
For manual defrosting (without
using Auto Defrost features), use
power level 3. To speed up the
defrosting of dense foods over
450 g, you may start on HI for 3

Q.
What is wrong when the oven light will not
glow?
There may be several reasons why the oven
light will not glow.
The light bulb has burned out.
START has not been touched.
Why is steam coming out of the air exhaust
vent?
Steam is normally produced during cooking.
The microwave oven has been made to vent
this steam.
Can the microwave oven be damaged if it
operates empty?
Yes. Never operate while empty or without the
turntable positioned correctly on the roller rest.
When the oven is plugged into awall outlet for
the first time, it might not work properly. What
is wrong?
When the oven is plugged in for the first time
or when power resumes after apower
interruption, the microcomputer used in the
oven control may temporarily become
scrambled and fail to function as programmed.
Unplug the oven from the wall outlet and then
plug it back in. The microcomputer will then
reset for proper functioning.
Why do Isee light reflection around the outer
case?
This light is from the oven light located outside
the oven cavity.
Why is there noise coming from the turntable

What is wrong when baked foods have ahard,
dry, brown spot?
This is caused by overcooking. Shorten
cooking or reheating time.
Why do eggs sometimes pop?
The egg yolk may pop because of steam
build-up inside the membrane. To prevent this,
simply pierce the membrane with atoothpick
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 these
reasons:
Eggs vary in size.
Eggs are at room temperature one time and at
refrigerator temperature another time.
The shapes of utensils vary, which makes it
necessary to vary cooking time.
Eggs continue cooking during standing time.
What is wrong when three potatoes bake
thoroughly and the fourth one is still not
cooked?
The fourth potato may be slightly heavier than
the others and should be cooked 30 to 60
seconds longer. Remember to allow one inch
(2.5 cm) around each potato when baking. For
more even cooking, place potatoes in acircle.
Why do baked apples sometimes burst during
cooking?
As in regular cooking methods, steam is
formed in the interior of the apple, causing it to
swell and expand during the cooking process.
How are boil-overs avoided?
Use alarger utensil than usual for cooking. If
you open the oven door or touch 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 mitts to remove
food after cooking.
