Before Operation

Earthing Instructions

This microwave oven must be earthed.. In the event of an electrical short circuit, earthing reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current.. This microwave oven is equipped with a cord having an earthing wire with an earthing plug.. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and earthed..

WARNING - Improper use of the earthing plug can result in a risk of electric shock..

Circuit

Your microwave oven should be operated on a separate 10 A circuit from other appliances.. Failure to do this may cause the power board fuse to blow, and/or food to cook slower.. Do not insert higher value fuse in the power board..

Fan Motor Operation

After using the oven, the fan rotates to cool the electric components.. Do not switch the electricity off for 5 minutes after using the oven.. This continuance of fan operation is perfectly normal, and you can take out the food from the oven while the fan operates..

General Instructions

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..

2.Do not dry clothes, newspapers or other materials in the oven.. They may catch on fire..

3.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..

4.Do not use newspapers or paper bags for cooking..

5.Do not hit or strike control panel.. Damage to controls may occur..

6.POT HOLDERS may be needed as heat from food is transferred to the cooking container and from the container to Ceramic Tray.. The tray can be very hot after removing the cooking container from the oven..

7.Do not store flammable materials next to, on top of, or in the oven.. It could be a fire hazard..

8.Do not cook food directly on Ceramic Tray unless indicated in recipes.. (Food should be placed in a suitable cooking utensil..)

9.Do NOT use this oven to heat chemicals or other non-food products.. Do NOT clean this oven with any product that is labeled as containing corrosive chemicals.. The heating of corrosive chemicals in this oven may cause microwave radiation leaks.

10.When using the COMBINATION mode, never place any aluminum or metal container directly on the wire rack.. Always insert a heatproof, glass plate or dish between the wire rack and the aluminum container.. This will prevent sparking that may damage the oven..

11.It is recommended not to use the wire rack when cooking in the MICROWAVE mode only..

12..If ceramic tray is hot, allow to cool before cleaning or placing in water..

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.Potatoes, apples, egg yolks, whole squash, chicken wing and sausages are examples of foods with non porous skins.. This type of food must be pierced before cooking, to prevent bursting..

4.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..

5.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..
