PARTS & FEATURES

CONTROL PANEL

• Power selector: Use this dial to choose a cooking power level. There are six power levels to choose from. The power level increases with the knob turning clockwise. The power levels can be classified as the following:
  DESCRIPTION| POWER OUTPUT
  ---|---
  LOW| 17%
  DEFROST| 40%
  M. LOW| 48%
  MED| 66%
  M. HIGH| 85%
  HIGH| 100%
• Timer selector: Use this dial to select a desired cooking time up to a maximum of 30 minutes per cooking session.
  NOTE: Please remove the protective film from the control pad before using your microwave.

OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS

STARTING A COOKING SESSION
Always follow recommendations from the food package and use the cooking guide table for guidance only.
To start cooking:

1. Place food in the microwave oven on the turntable and close the door.
2. Turn the Power Selector dial to select a power level.
3. Use the Timer Selector dial to set a cooking time.

NOTE : As soon as the Timer Selector dial is turned, the oven starts cooking.

1. When selecting time is less than 2 minutes, turn the Timer Selector dial past 2 minutes and then return to the correct time.

2. Always turn the Timer Selector dial back to the “OFF” position if food is removed from the oven before the set cooking time is complete or when the oven is not in use. To stop the oven during the cooking process, open the door by the handle.

3. DEFROSTING THE FOOD
   Defrost and Med. The low setting enables the thawing of frozen foods. Microwave energy heats up the outside surface of the food and this heat moves slowly into the center. This thaws the food evenly.
   In addition to defrosting, this setting is also used for slower and gentler cooking, such as soups, stews, or sauces. Foods with high milk, cheese, or egg content may be cooked on this setting to prevent curdling or toughness.
   To start defrosting:

4. Place food in microwave oven on turntable and close the door.

5. Set Power level at Med. Low or Defrost position.

6. Set Timer Selector for the time suggested on the food package or as desired. This will turn on the microwave oven to start defrosting.

7.  A bell will ring and alert you once the cycle is completed.

COOKING TECHNIQUES
Your microwave makes cooking easier than conventional cooking, provided you keep these considerations in mind:

1. STIRRING
   Stir foods such as casseroles and vegetables while cooking to distribute heat evenly. Food at the outside of the dish absorbs more energy and heats more quickly, so stir from the outside to the center. The oven will turn off when you open the door to stir your food

2. ARRANGEMENT
   Arrange unevenly shaped foods, such as chicken pieces or chops, with the thicker, meatier parts toward the outside of the turntable where they receive more microwave energy. To prevent overcooking, place delicate areas, such as asparagus tips, toward the center of the turntable

3. SHIELDING
   Shield food with narrow strips of aluminum foil to prevent overcooking. Areas that need shielding include poultry wingtips, the ends of poultry legs, and corners of square baking dishes. Use only small amounts of aluminum foil. Larger amounts can damage your oven.

4. TURNING
   Turn foods over midway through cooking to expose all parts to microwave energy. This is especially important with large foods such as roasts.

5. STANDING

6. Foods cooked in the microwave build up internal heat and continue to cook for a few minutes after the heating stops. Let foods stand to complete cooking, especially foods such as cakes and whole vegetables. Roasts need this time to complete cooking in the center without overcooking the outer areas. All liquids, such as soup or hot chocolate, should be shaken or stirred when cooking is complete. Let liquids stand a moment before serving. When heating baby food, stir well at removal and test the temperature before serving.

7. ADDING MOISTURE
   Microwave energy is attracted to water molecules. Food that is uneven in moisture content should be covered or allowed to stand so that the heat disperses evenly. Add a small amount of water to dry food to help it cook

CLEANING & CARE

1. When cleaning surfaces of the door and oven that come together on closing the door, use only mild, nonabrasive soaps, or detergents and apply them with a sponge or soft cloth.
2. Turn off the oven and remove the power plug from the wall socket before cleaning.
3. Keep the inside of the oven clean. When food splatters or spilled liquids adhere to oven walls, wipe with a damp cloth. Mild detergent may be used if the oven gets very dirty. Avoid the use of spray and other harsh cleaners as they may stain, streak, or dull the door surface.
4. The outside surfaces should be cleaned with a damp cloth. To prevent damage to the operating parts inside the oven, water should not be allowed to sweep into the ventilation openings.
5. Wipe the window on both sides with a damp cloth to remove any spills or spatters.
6. Do not allow the control panel to become wet. Clean with a soft, damp cloth. When cleaning the control panel, leave the oven door open to prevent the oven from accidentally turning on.
7. If steam accumulates inside or around the outside of the oven door, wipe with a soft cloth. This may occur when the microwave oven is operated under high humidity conditions, this is normal.
8. t is occasionally necessary to remove the glass tray for cleaning. Wash the tray in warm sudsy water or a dishwasher.
9. The roller ring and oven floor should be cleaned regularly to avoid excessive noise. Simply wipe the bottom surface of the oven with mild detergent. The roller ring may be washed in mild sudsy water or dishwasher. When removing the roller ring from the cavity floor for cleaning, be sure to replace it in the proper position.
10. Remove odors from your oven by combining a cup of water with the juice and skin of one lemon in a deep bowl, and microwave for 5 minutes. Wipe thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth.
11. When it becomes necessary to replace the oven light, please consult a dealer to have it replaced.
12. Please do not dispose of this appliance in the domestic rubbish bin; it should be disposed of at the particular disposal center provided by the municipalities.

TROUBLESHOOTING & WARRANTY
