To avoid the danger of fire  
The microwave oven should not be left unattended during operation.  
Power levels that are too high or cooking times that are too long may overheat foods  
resulting in a fire.  
The electrical outlet must be readily accessible so that the unit can be unplugged easily in  
an emergency.  
Do not store or use the oven outdoors.  
If food being heated begins to smoke, DO NOT OPEN THE DOOR. Turn off and  
unplug the oven and wait until the food has stopped smoking. Opening the door while  
food is smoking may cause a fire.  
Only use microwave-safe containers and utensils.  
Do not leave the oven unattended when using disposable plastic, paper or other  
combustible food containers.  
Clean the waveguide cover, the oven cavity, the turntable and turntable support after  
use. These must be dry and free from grease. Built-up grease may overheat and begin to  
smoke or catch fire.  
Do not place flammable materials near the oven or ventilation openings. Do not block  
the ventilation openings.  
Remove all metallic seals, wire twists, etc., from food and food packages. Arcing on metallic  
surfaces may cause a fire.  
Do not use the microwave oven to heat oil for deep frying. The temperature cannot be  
controlled and the oil may catch fire.  
To make popcorn, only use special microwave popcorn makers. Do not  
store food or any other items inside the oven.  
Check the settings after you start the oven to ensure the oven is operating as desired. See the  
corresponding hints in this operation manual.  
To avoid the possibility of injury  
Warning!  
Do not operate the oven if it is damaged or malfunctioning. Check the following before  
use:  
a) The door; make sure the door closes properly and ensure it is not misaligned or  
warped.

Important safety instructions  
5
Never adjust, repair or modify the oven yourself. It is hazardous for anyone other  
than a competent person to carry out any service or repair operation which  
involves the removal of a cover which gives protection against exposure to  
microwave energy.  
Do not operate the oven with the door open or alter the door safety latches in any  
way.  
Do not operate the oven if there is an object between the door seals and sealing  
surfaces.  
Do not allow grease or dirt to build up on the door seals and adjacent parts.  
Follow instructions for “Care & Cleaning”. Failure to maintain the oven in a clean condition  
could lead to a deterioration of the surface that could adversely affect the life of the  
appliance and possibly result in a hazardous situation.  
Individuals with PACEMAKERS should check with their doctor or the manufacturer of the  
pacemaker for precautions regarding microwave ovens.  
To avoid the possibility of electric shock  
Under no circumstances should you remove the outer cabinet.  
Never spill or insert any objects into the door lock openings or ventilation openings. In the  
event of a spill, turn off and unplug the oven immediately and call your local Service Force  
Centre.

To avoid the possibility of explosion and sudden boiling  
Warning!  
Liquids and other foods must not be heated in sealed containers since they are liable  
to explode.  
Never use sealed containers. Remove seals and lids before use. Sealed containers  
can explode due to a build up of pressure even after the oven has been turned off.  
Take care when microwaving liquids. Use a wide-mouthed container to allow  
bubbles to escape.  
Microwave heating of beverages can result in delayed eruptive boiling, therefore care has  
to be taken when handling the container.  
To prevent sudden eruption of boiling liquid and possible scalding:  
1. Stir liquid prior to heating/reheating.

Important safety instructions  
2. It is advisable to insert a glass rod or similar utensil into the liquid whilst reheating.  
3. Let liquid stand for at least 20 seconds in the oven at the end of cooking time to  
prevent delayed eruptive boiling.  
Do not cook eggs in their shells, and whole hard boiled eggs should not be heated in  
microwave ovens since they may explode even after microwave cooking has ended. To  
cook or reheat eggs which have not been scrambled or mixed, pierce the yolks and the  
whites, or the eggs may explode. Shell and slice hard boiled eggs before reheating them in  
the microwave oven.  
Pierce the skin of such foods as potatoes, sausages and fruit before cooking, or they may  
explode.  
To avoid the possibility of burns  
Use pot holders or oven gloves when removing food from the oven to prevent burns. Always  
open containers, popcorn makers, oven cooking bags, etc., away from the face and hands to  
avoid steam burns.  
To avoid burns, always test food temperature and stir before serving and pay  
special attention to the temperature of food and drink given to babies, children or the  
elderly.  
Temperature of the container is not a true indication of the temperature of the food or drink;  
always check the food temperature.  
Always stand back from the oven door when opening to avoid burns from escaping steam  
and heat.  
Slice stuffed baked foods after heating to release steam and avoid burns.  
Keep children away from the door to prevent them burning themselves.  
To avoid misuse by children

Microwave cooking advice  
Microwave cooking advice  
Microwave cooking  
To cook/defrost food in a microwave oven, the microwave energy must be able to pass  
through the container to penetrate the food. Therefore it is important to choose suitable  
cookware.  
Round/oval dishes are preferable to square/oblong ones as the food in the corners tends to  
overcook.  
It is important to turn, rearrange or stir food to ensure even heating.  
Standing time is necessary after cooking as it enables the heat to disperse equally  
throughout the food.  
Food characteristics  
Composition Foods high in fat or sugar (e.g. Christmas pudding, mince pies) require less heating time. Care  
should be taken as overheating can lead to fire.  
Density  
Quantity  
Size  
Food density will affect the amount of cooking time needed. Light porous foods, such as  
cakes or bread, cook more quickly than heavy, dense foods, such as roasts and casseroles.  
The cooking time must be increased as the amount of food placed in the oven increases.  
E.g. four potatoes will take longer to cook than two.  
Small foods and small pieces cook faster than large ones, as microwaves can penetrate from  
all sides to the centre. For even cooking make all the pieces the same size.  
Shape  
Foods which are irregular in shape, such as chicken breasts or drumsticks, take longer to cook  
in the thicker parts. Round shapes cook more evenly than square shapes when microwave  
cooking.  
Temperature The initial temperature of food affects the amount of cooking time needed. Chilled foods will  
of food  
take longer to cook than food at room temperature. Cut into foods with fillings, e.g. jam  
doughnuts, to release heat or steam.  
Cooking techniques  
Arrange  
Cover  
Place the thickest parts of food towards the outside of the dish. E.g. Chicken drumsticks.  
Use vented microwave cling film or a suitable lid.  
Pierce  
Foods with a shell, skin or membrane must be pierced in several places before cooking or  
reheating as steam will build up and may cause food to explode, e.g. Potatoes, Fish, Chicken,  
Sausages.  
Important:Eggs should not be heated using microwave power as they may explode, even after  
cooking has ended, e.g. poached, hard boiled.  
Stir, turn and  
rearrange  
For even cooking it is essential to stir, turn and rearrange food during cooking. Always stir and  
rearrange from the outside towards the centre.  
Stand  
Standing time is necessary after cooking to enable the heat to disperse equally throughout  
the food.  
Shield  
Some areas of food being defrosted may become warm. Warm areas can be shielded with  
small pieces of foil, which reflect microwaves, e.g. legs and wings on a chicken.  
 
Microwave cooking advice

Microwave  
safe  
Comments  
Aluminium foil /  
foil containers  
/✘  
Small pieces of aluminium foil can be used to shield food from  
overheating. Keep foil at least 2 cm from the oven walls, as arcing  
may occur. Foil containers are not recommended unless specified by  
the manufacturer, e.g. Microfoil ®, follow instructions carefully.  
Browning dishes  
China and ceramics  
Glassware e.g. Pyrex ®  
Metal  
/✘  
Always follow the manufacturers instructions. Do not exceed  
heating times given. Be very careful as these dishes become very hot.  
Porcelain, pottery, glazed earthenware and bone china are usually  
suitable, except for those with metallic decoration.  
Care should be taken if using fine glassware as it can break or crack if  
heated suddenly.  
It is not recommended to use metal cookware when using micro-  
wave power as it will arc, which can lead to fire.  
Plastic / polystyrene  
e.g. fast food containers  
Care must be taken as some containers warp, melt or discolour at  
high temperatures.  
Cling film  
Should not touch the food and must be pierced to let the steam  
escape.  
Freezer / roasting bags  
Must be pierced to let steam escape. Ensure bags are suitable for  
microwave use. Do not use plastic or metal ties, as they may melt or  
catch fire due to the metal arcing.  
Paper - plates cups  
and kitchen paper  
Only use for warming or to absorb moisture. Care must be taken as  
overheating may cause fire.  
Straw and wooden  
containers  
Always attend the oven when using these materials as overheating may  
cause fire.  
Recycled paper  
and newspaper  
May contain extracts of metal which will cause ‘arcing’ and may lead  
to fire.

Power  
setting  
Suggested use  
900 W/  
HIGH  
Used for fast cooking or reheating e.g. soup, casseroles, canned food, hot beverages, vegetables,  
fish, etc.  
630 W  
Used for longer cooking of dense foods such as roast joints, meat loaf and plated meals, also for  
sensitive dishes such as cheese sauce and sponge cakes. At this reduced setting, the sauce will  
not boil over and food will cook evenly without over cooking at the sides.  
450 W  
270 W/  
For dense foods which require a long cooking time when cooked conventionally, eg. beef dishes,  
it is advisable to use this power setting to ensure the meat will be tender.  
To defrost, select this power setting, to ensure that the dish defrosts evenly. This  
DEFROST setting is also ideal for simmering rice, pasta, dumplings and cooking egg custard.

Adapting recipes for the microwave oven  
If you would like to adapt your favourite recipes for the microwave, you  
should take note of the following: Shorten cooking times by a third to a half. Follow  
the example of the recipes in this book.  
Foods which have a high moisture content such as meat, fish, poultry,  
vegetables, fruit, stews and soups can be prepared in your microwave without any  
difficulty.  
Foods which have little moisture, such as platters of food, should have the  
surface moistened prior to heating or cooking.  
The amount of liquid to be added to raw foods, which are to be braised, should be  
reduced to about two thirds of the quantity in the original recipe. If  
necessary, add more liquid during cooking.  
The amount of fat to be added can be reduced considerably. A small amount of  
butter, margarine or oil is sufficient to flavour food. For this reason your  
microwave is excellent for preparing low-fat foods as part of a diet.

Care & cleaning  
CAUTION!  
DO NOT USE COMMERCIAL OVEN CLEANERS, STEAM CLEANERS, ABRASIVE, HARSH  
CLEANERS, ANY THAT CONTAIN SODIUM HYDROXIDE OR SCOURING PADS ON ANY PART OF  
YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN.  
CLEAN THE OVEN AT REGULAR INTERVALS AND REMOVE ANY FOOD DEPOSITS.  
Failure to maintain the oven in a clean condition could lead to a deterioration of the  
surface that could adversely affect the life of the appliance and possibly result in a  
hazardous situation.  
Oven exterior  
The outside of your oven can be cleaned easily with mild soap and water. Make sure the soap is wiped off  
with a moist cloth, and dry the exterior with a soft towel.  
Control panel  
Open the door before cleaning to de-activate the control panel. Care should be taken when  
cleaning the control panel. Using a cloth dampened with water only, gently wipe the panel until  
it becomes clean. Avoid using excessive amounts of water. Do not use any sort of chemical or  
abrasive cleaner.  
Oven interior  
1. For cleaning, wipe any splatters or spills with a soft damp cloth or sponge after each  
use while the oven is still warm. For heavier spills, use a mild soap and wipe several  
times with a damp cloth until all residues are removed. Do not remove the  
waveguide cover.  
2. Make sure that mild soap or water does not penetrate the small vents in the walls  
which may cause damage to the oven.
