IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING : To prevent fire, burns, electric shock and other warnings:
Listed below are, as with all appliances, certain rules to follow and safeguards to assure high
performance from this oven:
11. Do not use the oven for any reason other than food preparation, such as for drying clothes, paper, or any
other nonfood items or for sterilizing purposes.
12. Do not use the microwave oven or the toaster when empty, this could damage the oven seriously.
13. Do not use the oven cavity for any type of storage, such as papers, cookbook, cookware, etc.
14. Do not operate the oven without the glass tray in place. Be sure it is properly sitting on the rotating base.
15. Make sure you remove caps or lids prior to cooking when you cook food sealed in bottles.
16. Do not put foreign material between the oven surface and door. It could result in excessive leakage of
microwave energy.

fires when used during cooking.
18. Do not pop popcorn unless popped in a microwave approved popcorn popper or unless it's commercially
packaged and recommended especially for microwave ovens.
Microwave popped corn produces a lower yield than conventional popping; there will be a number of
unpopped kernels. Do not use oil unless specified by the manufacturer.
19. Do not cook any food surrounded by a membrane, such as egg yolks, potatoes, chicken livers, etc.,
without first piercing them several times with a fork.
10. Do not pop popcorn longer than the manufacturer's directions. (popping time is generally below 3 minutes).
Longer cooking does not yield more popped corn, it can cause scorchings and fire.
Also, the cooking tray can become too hot to handle or may break.
11. If smoke is observed, switch off or unplug the appliance and keep the door closed in order to stifle any
flames.
12. When heating food in plastic or paper containers, check the oven frequently due to the possibility of
ignition.
13. 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.
14. Always test the temperature of food or drink which has been heated in a microwave oven before you give it
to somebody, especially to children or elderly people. This is important because things which have been
heated in a microwave oven carry on getting hotter even though the microwave oven cooking has stopped.
15. Eggs in their shell and whole hard-boiled eggs shall not be heated in microwave ovens since they may
explode.
16. Keep the waveguide cover clean at all times. Wipe the oven interior with a soft damp cloth after each use.
If you leave grease or fat anywhere in the cavity it may overheat, smoke or even catch fire when next using
the oven.
17. Never heat oil or fat for deep frying as you cannot control the temperature and doing so may lead to
overheating and fire.
18. Microwave heating of beverages can result in delayed eruptive boiling, therefore care has to be taken
when handling the container.

COOKING TIPS
WARNING!
Never place any object in the toaster for any reason!
• DO NOT toast pastries with runny fillings or frosting.
• DO NOT toast torn slices of bread or broken pastries.
• DO NOT place buttered bread, wrapped food, or frozen pastries in the toaster.
• DO NOT use this toaster to toast or warm small-size bread slices. These include “melba” size breads,
slices of mini-baguettes, breadsticks, etc.
• DO NOT toast oversized bagel. Because thick bagel’s surface may become closer to the heater, this
may cause overdone of surface and smoke.
NOTE : Different types of bread and their moisture levels may require different darkness settings.
For example, dry bread will brown more rapidly than moist bread and so will be toasted to
your taste at a lighter setting.
NOTE : 2 pieces of bread or bagel should be cooked with this toaster.

WHICH UTENSIL CAN BE USED IN THE OVEN?
Only use utensils that are suitable for use in microwave ovens.
Before use, the user should check that tensils are suitable for use in microwave ovens.
Utensils made of china and ceramic excellent to
use in your microwave oven. Most types of glass
are also very good.
Lead crystal glass can crack and should therefore,
not be used. Plastics and paper can also be used,
provided they can withstand the temperature of
the heated food. For cooking only use plastics,

microwave, and be damaged. To find out if a
certain container is suitable, the following simple
test can be made:
Yes (3)
No

Place the empty container and glass of water
inside the microwave oven. The water is needed
because the oven must not be operated empty or
with empty containers only.
1. Without metal parts or metal trims.
2. Some plastics are heat-proof only to certain
temperatures. Check carefully!
3. It is possible to use aluminium foil to shield
deliate areas of food (this prevents over-
cooking).
Let the oven work on full power for one minute. A
suitable container will only be lukewarm.
Metal containers, Eg. saucepans or frying pans
should not be used in microwave ovens. Nor
should plates or vessels with decorations be used
since metal Eg. gold, might be part of the
decoration and such decorations will be damaged.
Small pieces of aluminiuum foil can be used, but
only to shield the areas that would over-cook (Eg.
for covering chicken wings, leg
Microwave function only
Utensils and cooking containers used in a
microwave oven should be of a material that does
not act as a barrier to microwave energy.
Generally this means that you should cook in
either (paper), plastic, glass or ceramic.
Metal pans reflect microwave energy and inhibit
cooking, and should not be used. In addition to
material, the shape of the container should also
be considered.
Round oval shapes give the most even cooking.
Square or rectangular containers may over-cook
foods in the corners because more energy is
absorbed there.
tips and fish tails) but the foil
must not touch the side of the
oven as damage may occur.
Caution:
• There are a number of accessories available
on the market. Before you buy, make sure
they are suitable for microwave use.
Shallow containers give more even cooking
results.
• When you put food in the microwave oven,
make sure that food, food supports or
covering do not come in direct contact with
any of the internal walls or the ceiling of the
cavity since discolouration may take place.
21
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.
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 stir liquids before heating. Heated liquids can erupt, if not mixed with air.
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.
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, press “STOP/CLEAR” button 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.
22
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
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.
REFLECTION
ABSORPTION
The microwaves
bounce off the metal
walls and the metal
door screen.
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 11/2 - 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
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.
PIERCING
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.
24
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.
• The shape of the package alters the defrosting time. Shallow rectangular shapes defrost more quickly than
a deep block.
• After 1/3 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.
• 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 arching, 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).

COOKING UTENSILS
Utensils should be checked to ensure that they are suitable for use in microwave ovens.
Microwave energy is produced by high frequency radio waves. They are reflected from
metal, but will pass through most cooking utensils without heating them.
As the waves come into contact with the food, they are converted into heat energy. Listed
below are the suggested cooking utensils for this microwave oven and when to use them.
1. Dishes with metal trim of any type-should not be used. This will cause sparking.
2. Glass or ceramic heat proof dishes-excellent for microwave cooking.
3. China dishes and plates-without metal trim may be used to cook and heat individual portions of food.
4. Wood or straw-use only for short period, wood contains some moisture and the microwave energy may
cause the wood to dry out and crack.
5. Aluminum foil-may be used in very small pieces for shielding only.
Any aluminum foil used should never be closer than 2.5cm from side walls of oven.
6. Plastic-most heat resistant plastic dinnerware may be used for heating food. However polyethylene,
melamine, phenol are unsuitable for use in the oven. They become hot in the microwave.
7. Wax paper-use as a cover to avoid spatters.
8. Metal-in general, metal utensils should not be used in microwave oven.
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.
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.
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 trained 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.
4. The oven should not be adjusted or repaired by anyone except a properly trained service technician.

• The oven doesn't work;
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.
• Sparking in the cavity;
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.
If there is still a problem, contact the service station.
A list of these stations is included in the oven.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO SERVICE THE OVEN YOURSELF !

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
* Q : Why do eggs sometimes pop?
* Q : Can I pop popcorn in my microwave oven?
* 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.
How do I get the best results?
* 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.
* Q : Why this 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 : I accidentally ran my microwave oven without
any food in it. Is it damaged?
* 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?
* A : No. Both the glass tray and roller guide must
always be used in the oven before cooking.
* Q : Will the microwave oven be damaged if it
operates while empty?
* A : Yes. Never run it empty.
* Q : Can I open the door when the oven is
operating?
* Q : Why does my oven not always cook as fast as
the microwave cooking guide says?
* 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.
* 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 : 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.
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 : 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 : The toaster does not cook toast sometimes
though it seems to operate in normal. Then do i
have to do service call?
* A : No. When the toaster is operated several times
in series and is overheated, the safety thermal
switch works and the heating elements stop
operating. So, though the toaster seems to
operate normally, it does not cook toast. Open
the toaster drawer and cool it for 5~6 min.
After then the toaster can cook toast normally.
* 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.
