For best results and more enjoyable cooking, please read these
comments thoroughly.
For Best Results:
1. When determining the time for a particular food, begin by using minimum
time and checking condition occasionally. It is easy to overcook food
because microwaves cook very quickly.
2. Small quantities of food or foods with low water content may dry out and
become hard if cooked too long.
Defrosting Frozen Food:
1. Foods that have been frozen can be place directly in the oven for thawing.
(Be certain to remove any metallic ties or wraps).
2. Defrost according to the Defrosting instructions found in this manual.
3. For areas of the food thawing faster than others, cover with small pieces of
aluminium foil. This helps slow down or stop the defrosting process.
4. Some foods should not be completely thawed before cooking. For example,
fish cooks so quickly that it is sometimes better to begin cooking while still
slightly frozen.
5. It may be necessary to increase or decrease the cooking time in some

recipes, depending on the starting temperature of the food.
Note: Air from the vent may become warm during cooking.
Browning:
There are a few foods which are not cooked long enough in the microwave
oven to brown and may need additional colour.
Coatings such as paprika and browning agents such as Worcestershire sauce
may be used on chops, meat patties or chicken pieces.
Roasts, poultry or ham, cooked for 10-15 minutes or longer, will brown without
extra additives.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
General Advice
Disconnect from the mains by removing the mains plug from the wall
socket before cleaning.
Frequent cleaning prevents smoke and bad odors during cooking and also
sparking in the oven cavity and around the door seal.
Do not let food deposits or grease accumulate inside the oven cavity or on
the door seal.
If your microwave oven is fitted with a waveguide cover (usually located
inside the oven cavity on the right side wall) it must be kept clean at all
times, should food deposits or grease be allowed to accumulate on the
cover, sparking will occur and may damage your oven invalidating the
warranty.

GB
Before any maintenance or cleaning, disconnect the oven from the mains
supply and wait for it to cool to room temperature
Oven Door
Remove any food deposits and grease between the door seal and oven
cavity using a damp cloth, it is important to keep this area clean at all times.
Interior walls
Remove any grease splashes from the oven cavity walls with soap and
water, then rinse and dry.
The door seal and oven cavity have to be particularly well cleaned to
ensure the door will close properly and to avoid sparking between the
oven cavity and door assembly.
Do not use abrasive products such as scouring pads which will damage
the surfaces of the oven cavity and door.
Only warm soapy water must be used to clean stainless steel surfaces.
Roller rest
The roller rest should be removed and cleaned in hot soapy water
at least once a week to
prevent grease restricting the rotation
of the wheels. The well in which
the roller runs should
be cleaned as well.
Outer surfaces
To clean the outside surface, use a damp cloth.
Avoid using abrasive products such as scouring pads that may damage
the cosmetic surfaces. Make sure water does not seep into the ventilation slots.
CAUTION
Some waveguide covers can be easily damaged take care when cleaning.
Accessories should be washed in warm soapy water by hand.
Do not wash accessories in a dishwasher.
WARNINGS:
If the inside of the oven cavity and door seal are not kept scrupulously c
lean there is a danger of damage due to sparking inside the oven cavity
invalidating the warranty.
Never scrape the oven cavity walls with sharp objects.
Never immerse the appliance, its cord or plug in water or any other liquid.
Never clean this product with a steam cleaner.

Q. What is wrong when the oven light will not glow?
A. * Light bulb has blown.
*Door not closed.
Q. Why is steam coming out of the air exhaust vent and/or why is water
dripping from the bottom of the door?
A. Steam is normally produced during cooking operations. This microwave
oven has been made to vent this steam out of the side and top vents,
occasionally this steam condenses on the door and water then drips out at
the bottom of the door. This is quite normal and safe.
Q. Does microwave energy pass through the viewing screen in the door?
A. No. The screen reflects the energy to the oven cavity, the holes, or ports are
made to allow light to pass, they do not let microwave energy through.
Q. Will the microwave oven be damaged if it operates while empty?
A. Yes. Never run it empty.
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.

Microwave oven interfering
TV reception
Radio and TV reception may be affected
when the microwave oven is operating. It is
similar to the interference of small electrical
appliances, like mixer, vacuum cleaner and
electric fan. It is normal.
Dim oven light In low power microwave cooking, the oven
light may become dim. It is normal.

may accumulate on a cool place like the
oven door. It is normal.
Oven started accidentally

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 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.
Q. Why does my oven not always cook 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 times. Cooking
guide times and heat settings are suggestions, to help prevent overcooking
the most common problem in getting used to a microwave oven. Variations
in the size, shape and weights 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.
