PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE  
EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE  
MICROWAVE ENERGY  
The oven cannot be operated with the door open due to the safety interlocks built in the door mechanism  
which switch off cooking functions when the door is opened. Operating the oven with the door open could  
result in harmful exposure to microwave energy. It is important not to tamper with the door mechanism.  
Do not place any object between the oven front face and the door or allow soil or cleaner residue  
to accumulate on sealing surfaces.  
Do not operate the oven if it is damaged. It is particularly important that the oven door closes  
properly and that there is no damage to the (1) door (bent), (2) hinges and latches (broken or loosened), (3)  
door seals and sealing surfaces.  
The oven should not be adjusted or repaired by anyone except qualified service personnel.  
WARNING  
When heating liquids, e.g. soups, sauces and beverages in your microwave oven, delayed eruptive boiling 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:  
1. Avoid using straight-sided containers with narrow necks.  
2. Do not overheat.  
3. Stir the liquid before placing the container in the oven and again halfway through the heating time.  
4. After heating, allow to stand in the oven for a short time. Stir or shake the contents (especially feeding  
bottles and baby foods) and carefully check the temperature before use.  
5. Clean the oven interior with a damp cloth after use.  
6. Never operate the oven without Glass Tray & Roller rest/metal container as it may cause sparking.  
Installation  
1. Remove all packing materials and accessories.  
2. Place the oven on a level surface a minimum of 85cm above the floor with at least 30cm above and 10cm rear  
space to allow adequate ventilation. The side of the oven should be kept clear so there is air flow for ventilation.  
The front of the oven should be at least 8cm from the edge of the surface to prevent tipping.  
An exhaust outlet is located on top or side of the oven. Blocking the outlet can damage the oven.  
3. Plug your oven into a standard voltage household outlet.  
NOTE: • This appliance should not be used for commercial catering purposes.

Important safety instructions  
Read carefully and keep for future reference  
• Do not operate the oven when empty. It is  
• Before cooking, pierce the skin of fruit and  
best to leave a glass of water in the oven  
when not in use. The water will safely  
absorb all microwave energy if the oven  
is accidentally started.  
vegetables.  
• Do not cook eggs in their shell.  
Pressure will build up inside the egg  
which will burst.  
• Do not dry clothes in the microwave oven.  
They may become carbonized or burned if  
heated too long.  
• Do not cook food wrapped in paper towels,  
unless your cook book contains instructions for  
the food you are cooking.  
• Do not use the oven for drying kitchen towels  
or paper products. They may burn.  
• Do not use wooden containers. They may  
heat up and char.  
• Do not use recycled paper products since  
they may contain impurities which may  
cause sparks and/or fires when used in  
cooking.  
• Do not attempt deep fat frying in your  
oven.  
• Remove the plastic wrapping from food  
before cooking or defrosting. Note  
though that in some cases food should  
be covered with plastic film, for heating  
or cooking, as detailed in microwave  
cook books.  
• If smoke is observed, switch off or disconnect  
the oven from the power supply and keep the  
oven door closed in order to stifle any flames.  
• When food is heated or cooked in disposable  
containers of plastic, paper or other  
combustible materials, check the oven  
frequently due to the possibility of ignition.  
• Allow the turntable to cool before cleaning.  
• Small amounts of food require shorter  
cooking or heating time. If normal times  
are allowed they may overheat and burn.  
- WARNING: Liquids or other foods must not be heated in sealed containers since they  
are liable to explode.  
- WARNING: Only allow children to use the oven without supervision when adequate  
instructions have been given so that the child is able to use the oven in a  
safe way and understands the hazards of improper use.  
- WARNING: If the oven door and door seal are damaged, the oven must not be  
operated until it has been repaired by a qualified service technician.  
- WARNING: Do not attempt to tamper with, or make any adjustments or repairs to the  
door, control panel, safety interlock switches or any other part of the oven.  
It is hazardous for anyone to carry out any service or repair operation  
which involves the removal of any cover which gives protection against  
exposure to microwave energy. Repair should only be undertaken by a  
qualified service technician.

Note:  
1. Most glass, glass ceramic, and heat resistant  
glassware utensils are excellent. Those with  
metal trim should not be used in a microwave  
oven.  
Consult your cookbook, individual recipes, and  
charts for correct use of cooking containers,  
products, and other useful information.  
2. Paper napkins, towels, plates, cups, cartons,  
and cardboard can be used in the microwave  
oven. Do not use recycled paper products  
since they may contain impurities which may  
cause sparks and/or fires when used in  
cooking.  
Notes:  
• Care should be taken when removing utensils  
or the glass turntable, as they may become  
hot during cooking.  
• Only use a thermometer that is designed or  
recommended for use in the microwave oven.  
• Ensure the turntable is in place when you  
operate the oven.  
(Consult your cookbook for correct use of  
these products.)  
3. Plastic dishes, cups, freezer bags, and plastic  
wraps may be used in the microwave oven.  
Follow the manufacturer’s instructions or the  
information given in the cookbook when using  
plastics in the microwave oven.  
4. Metal utensils and utensils with metallic trim  
should not be used in the microwave oven.  
For more information on the proper use of  
metal in your oven, please read the  
introduction section in the cookbook. If the  
use of aluminum foil, skewers, or utensils  
containing metal in the oven is specified in the  
recipe, allow at least 2.5cm clearance  
between the metal object and the interior  
oven wall. If arcing (sparks) occurs, remove  
immediately.

Other Helpful Instructions  
For best results and more enjoyable cooking,  
please read these comments thoroughly.  
5. It may be necessary to increase or decrease the  
cooking time in some recipes, depending  
on the starting temperature of the foods.  
For Best Results:  
NOTE:  
1. When determining the time for a particular food,  
begin by using minimum time and checking con-  
dition 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.  
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.  
Defrosting Frozen Foods:  
1. Foods that have been frozen can be placed  
directly in the oven for thawing. (Be certain  
to remove any metallic ties or wraps.)  
2. Defrost according to the Defrosting Tips 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.  
Cleaning and Care  
BE SURE THE OVEN IS TURNED OFF BEFORE  
CLEANING.  
Keep the oven interior surfaces clean and dry.  
As a general rule clean after each use.  
DOOR  
The door and door seals should be kept clean at  
all times. Use only warm, soapy water to rinse then  
dry thoroughly.  
DO NOT USE ABRASIVE MATERIALS, SUCH AS  
CLEANING POWDERS OR STEEL AND PLASTIC  
PADS.  
Metal parts will be easier to maintain if wiped  
frequently with a damp cloth.  
INTERIOR WALLS  
Remove any crumbs and food remains between the  
door and oven using a damp cloth. This area has  
to be particularly well cleaned to ensure the door  
will close properly. Remove any grease splashes  
with a soapy cloth then rinse and dry. Do not use  
abrasives which may scratch and damage the  
painted surface of the oven.  
EXTERIOR  
Clean with mild soap and warm water, rinse and  
dry with a soft cloth. Do not use abrasive materials.  
Do not spill water in the vents. If the power lead  
becomes soiled wipe it with a damp cloth.  
NEVER POUR WATER INTO THE OVEN  
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.

1. Open the oven door, place the food on the  
turntable in the oven, and close the oven  
door.  
2. Set the power selector () to the desired power  
level. There are five power levels from 90 Watts  
to max. The power selector can be set to any  
one of these positions.  
Defrosting frozen food is one of the benefits of a  
microwave oven. Defrosting using a microwave  
oven is much faster than in the refrigerator and  
safer than at room temperature, as it does not  
promote the growth of harmful bacteria.  
It is important to remember that defrosting takes  
longer than normal cooking. Check the food,  
turning it over at least once during defrosting.

3. Set the timer () to the desired cooking  
time. The turntable begins to rotate and  
cooking starts. At the end of cooking time the  
bell will ring, and the lamp is turned off.  
Note:  
• Each number on the scale represents one  
minute. To ensure accurate timing, it is  
advisable to turn the timer knob slightly past  
the desired cooking time and then back to  
the proposed setting.  
• Press the door opener to check the cooking  
condition during oven operation. Opening the  
door during cooking automatically turns off  
the oven and stops the timer. If cooking is to  
continue, close the door - the oven will turn  
on and the timer will resume counting.  
• The turntable may rotate in either direction.

Heating or Reheating Guide  
To heat or reheat successfully in the microwave, it is important to follow several guidelines. Measure the amount of  
food in order to determine the time needed to reheat. Arrange the food in a circular pattern for best results. Room  
temperature food will heat faster than refrigerated food. Canned foods should be taken out of the can and placed in a  
microwavable container. The food will be heated more evenly if covered with a microwavable lid or vented plastic  
wrap. Remove cover carefully to prevent steam burns. Use the following chart as a guide for reheating cooked food.

Defrosting Tips  
Defrosting meats tips & techniques  
“WARNING: Do not use aluminium foil during cooking cycle.”  
• You can defrost meats in their original wrapping as long as no metal is present. Remove any metal rings,  
twist ties, wire or foil.  
• Place meat in a shallow baking dish to catch juices.  
• Defrost meats only as long as necesssary. Separate items like chops, sausages and bacon as soon as  
possible. Remove defrosted portions and continue to defrost remaining pieces.  
• Whole pieces of meat are ready for standing time as soon as a fork can be pushed into the centre of the  
meat using moderate pressure. The centre will still be icy. Allow to stand until completely thawed.  
• Defrost meat on defrost mode.

Questions and Answers  
Q. What’s wrong when the oven light will not  
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  
glow?  
I
A.  
Light bulb has blown.  
I
Door is not closed.  
vegetables and cakes is to allow the inside to  
cook completely, without overcooking the outside.  
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. The microwave has been made  
to vent this steam out of the side vent,  
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. Why does my oven not always cook as 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 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.  
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  
Q. Does microwave energy pass through the  
viewing screen in the door?  
A. No. The metal 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.  
whether the food has been properly cooked  
just as you would do with a conventional  
cooker.  
Q. Will the microwave oven be damaged if it  
operates while empty?  
A. Yes. Never run it empty.  
Q. Why do sparks and crackling (arcing) occur  
in the oven?  
Q. Why do eggs sometimes pop?  
A. There may be several reasons why sparks  
and crackling (arcing) within cavity happens.  
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.

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.  
You are using a metal twist-tie.
