BEFORE YOU CALL FOR SERVICE  
Refer to following checklist, you may prevent an unnecessary service call.  
* The oven doesn’t work :  
* Sparking in the cavity;  
1. Check that the power cord is securely plugged in.  
2. Check that the door is firmly closed.  
3. Check that the cooking time is set.  
4. Check for a blown circuit fuse or tripped main circuit  
breaker in your house.  
1. Check utensils. Metal containers or dishes with metal  
trim should not be used.  
2. Check that metal skewers or foil does not touch the  
interior walls.  
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.  
4. The oven should not be adjusted or repaired by  
anyone except a properly competent service  
technician.  
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.  
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.  
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.

Q U E S T I O N S A N D A N S W E R S  
* Q : I accidentally ran my microwave oven without  
any food in it. Is it damaged?  
* 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.  
* A : Running the oven empty for a short time will not  
damage the oven. However, it is not  
recommended.  
* Q : Can the oven be used with the glass tray or  
roller guide removed?  
* Q : Why does my oven not always cook as fast as  
the microwave cooking guide says?  
* A : No. Both the glass tray and roller guide must  
always be used in the oven before cooking.  
* 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.  
* 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.  
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 : 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 : Will the microwave oven be damaged if it  
operates while empty?  
* A :Yes. Never run it empty.  
* 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 : Can I operate my microwave oven without  
the turntable or turn the turntable over to hold  
a large dish?  
* A : No. If you remove or turn over the turntable, you  
will get poor cooking results. Dishes used in your  
oven must fit on the turntable.  
* 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 : Is it normal for the turntable to turn in either  
direction?  
* A : Yes. The turntable rotates clockwise or  
counterclockwise, depending on the rotation of  
the motor when the cooking cycle begins.  
* Q : Why is this standing time recommended after  
the cooking operation has been completed?  
* A : Standing time is very important.  
* Q : Can I pop popcorn in my microwave oven?  
How do I get the best results?  
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, without overcooking the outside.  
* 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.

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 utensil and indicates whether and  
how they should be used in a microwave oven.

C O O K I N G I N S T R U C T I O N S  
USE YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN SAFELY  
General Use  
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.  
Food  
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.  
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.  
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  
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.  
ARCING  
If you see arcing, open the door and correct the problem.  
Arcing is the microwave term for sparks in the oven.  
Arcing is caused by:  
• Metal or foil touching the side of the oven.  
• Foil not molded to food (upturned edges act like  
antennas).  
• Metal, such as twist-ties, poultry pins, or gold rimmed  
dishes, in the microwave.  
• Recycled paper towels containing small metal pieces  
being used in the microwave.

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  
Oven Cavity  
Magnetron  
In a microwave oven,  
electricity is converted  
into microwave by the  
MAGNETRON.  
TRANSMISSION  
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.  
Waveguide  
Turntable  
REFLECTION  
ABSORPTION  
The microwaves bounce  
off the metal walls and  
the metal door screen.  
Microwave  
Water Molecule Absorption  
Vibration  
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.

COOKING TECHNIQUES  
STANDING TIME  
STARTING TEMPERATURE  
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.  
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.  
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.  
ARRANGING  
Individual foods e.g. chicken portions or chops, should be  
placed on a dish so that the thicker parts are towards the  
outside.  
DENSITY  
QUANTITY  
Porous airy foods heat more quickly than dense heavy  
foods.  
Small quantities cook faster than large quantities, also  
small meals will reheat more quickly than large portions.  
CLING FILM  
PIERCING  
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.  
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.  
SHAPE  
Even shapes cook evenly. Food cooks better by  
microwave when in a round container rather than square.  
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.  
SPACING  
Foods cook more quickly and evenly if spaced apart.  
NEVER pile foods on top of each other.

C O O K I N G I N S T R U C T I O N S  
DEFROSTING GUIDE  
Do not defrost covered meat. Covering might allow  
cooking to take place. Always remove outer wrap and  
tray. Use only containers that are microwave-safe.  
Begin defrosting whole poultry breast-side-down.  
Begin defrosting roasts fat-side-down.  
When defrosted, food should be cool, but softened in  
all areas. If still slightly icy, return to microwave oven  
very briefly, or let stand a few minutes. After  
defrosting, allow food to stand 5-60 minutes if there  
are any icy areas.  
Poultry and fish may be placed under running cool  
water until defrosted  
Turn over : Roast, ribs, whole poultry, turkey  
breasts, hot dogs, sausages, steaks, or chops.  
Rearrange : Break apart or separate steaks, chops,  
hamburger patties, ground meat, chicken or seafood  
pieces, chunks of meat such as stew beef.  
Shield : Use small strips of aluminum foil to protect  
thin areas or edges of unevenly shaped foods such  
as chicken wings. To prevent arcing, do not allow foil  
to come within 1-inch of oven walls or door.  
Remove : To prevent cooking, thawed portions  
should be removed from the oven at this point. This  
may shorten defrost time for food weighing less than  
3 lbs.(1350g).  
The shape of the package alters the defrosting time.  
Shallow rectangular shapes defrost more quickly  
than a deep block.  
1
After /3 of the defrost time has elapsed, check the  
food. Toy may wish to turn over, break apart,  
rearrange or remove thawed portions of the food.  
During defrost, the oven will prompt you to turn the  
over. At this point, open oven door and check the  
food. Follow the techniques listed below for optimum  
defrost results.  
Then, close oven door, touch the START pad to  
complete defrosting.

COOKING & REHEATING CHART  
Reheating chart  
• Baby food particularly needs to be checked carefully before serving to prevent burns.  
• When heating pre-packaged ready-cooked foods, always follow the pack instructions carefully.  
• If you freeze foods which were bought from the fresh or chilled counters, remember that they should be thoroughly  
thawed before following the heating instructions on the packed. It’s worth putting a note on them so that other  
members of the household will remember too.  
• Remember metal ties and transfer food from foil containers before reheating.  
• Chilled(refrigerated) food takes longer to reheat than food at room temperature (such as just-cooled food or food  
from the store cupboard).  
• All foods should be reheated using full microwave power.
