Installation and General Instructions

– 2 –

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.   If smoke is observed, press the STOP/RESET

Pad and leave door closed in order to stifle any
flames. Disconnect the power cord, and/or shut
off power at the fuse or circuit breaker panel.

3.   Do not dry clothes, newspapers or other materials

in oven. They may catch on fire.

4.   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.

5.   Do not use newspapers or paper bags for cooking.
6.   Do not hit or strike the Control Panel. Damage to

controls may occur.

7.   POT HOLDERS may be needed as heat from

food is transferred to the cooking container and
from the container to the Glass Tray. The
GlassTray can be very hot after removing the
cooking container from the oven.

8.   Do not store flammable materials next to, on top of,

or in the oven. It could be a fire hazard.

9.   Do not cook food directly on Glass Tray unless

indicated in recipes. (Food should be placed in a
suitable cooking utensil.)

10. DO NOT use this oven to heat chemicals or other

non-food products. DO NOT clean this oven with
any product that is labelled as containing corrosive
chemicals. The heating of corrosive chemicals in
this oven may cause microwave radiation leaks.

11. Look at the oven from time to time when food is

heated or cooked in disposal containers of
plastic, paper or other combustible materials, as
these types of containers ignite if overheated.

Placement of Oven

1. The oven must be placed on a flat, stable surface.

For correct operation, the oven must have sufficient
air flow. Allow 15 cm of space on the top of the
oven, 10 cm at the back, and 5 cm on both sides.
If one side of the oven is placed flush to wall, the
other side or top must not be blocked. Do not
remove feet.
a. Do not block air vents. If they are blocked during

operation, the oven may be overheated and
damaged. When using any cloth over the oven,
the air intake and exhaust should not be
blocked. Also allow sufficient space on back and
both sides of the oven. 

b. Do not place oven near a hot or damp surface

such as a gas stove, electric range or sink etc.

c. Do not operate oven when room humidity is too high.

2. This oven was manufactured for household use only.
3. This microwave oven is designed and approved for

counter top use only. Failure due to built-in
installation may void the warranty.

Circuits

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.

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. Do not boil eggs in their shell and whole hard-boiled

eggs (unless otherwise stated in Cooking Guide
section). Pressure will build up and the eggs will
explode.

4. Potatoes, apples, egg yolks, whole squash and

sausages are examples of foods with nonporous
skins. This type of food must be pierced before
cooking, to prevent bursting.

5. 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 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 halfway through cooking time.

d) After heating, allow to stand in the oven for a short

time, stirring again before carefully removing the
container.

6. 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.

7. COOKING TIMES given in the Cooking Guide

section are APPROXIMATE. Factors that may affect
cooking time are preferred degree of moisture content,
starting temperature, altitude, volume, size, shape of
food and utensils used. As you become familiar with
the oven, you will be able to adjust for these factors.

8. It is better to UNDERCOOK RATHER THAN

OVERCOOK foods. If food is undercooked, it can
always be returned to the oven for further cooking. If
food is overcooked, nothing can be done. Always
start with minimum cooking times recommended.

9. Extreme care should be taken when cooking popcorn in

a microwave oven. Cook for minimum time as
recommended by manufacturer. Use the directions
suitable for the wattage of your microwave oven.
NEVER leave oven unattended when popping popcorn.

10.When heating food in plastic or paper containers,

check the oven frequently due to the possibility of
ignition.

11.The contents of feeding bottles and baby food jars are

to be stirred or shaken and the temperature is to be
checked before consumption, in order to avoid burns.
