BEFORE CALLING FOR SERVICE

Before asking for service, please check each item below: Check to ensure the oven is plugged in securely. If not, remove the plug from the outlet, wait 10 seconds, and plug it in again securely. Check for a blown circuit fuse or a tripped main circuit breaker. If these seem to be operating properly, test the outlet with another appliance. Check to ensure the control panel is programmed correctly and the timer is set. Check to ensure the door is securely closed, engaging the door lock system. If the door is not properly closed, the microwave energy will not flow inside. IF NONE OF THE ABOVE RECTIFIES THE SITUATION, THEN CONTACT A QUALIFIED TECHNICIAN. DO NOT TRY TO ADJUST OR REPAIR THE OVEN YOURSELF.

COOKING TECHNIQUES

1. Arrange food carefully. Place the thickest areas towards the outside of the dish.
2. Watch cooking time. Cook for the shortest amount of time indicated and add more as needed. Food severely overcooked can smoke or ignite.
3. Cover foods while cooking. Covers prevent spattering and help foods to cook evenly.
4. Turn foods over once during microwave cooking to speed cooking of such foods as chicken and hamburgers. Large items like roasts must be turned over at least once.
5. Rearrange foods such as meatballs halfway through cooking both from top to bottom and from the center of the dish to the outside.

COOKING UTENSILS GUIDE

1. Microwaves cannot penetrate metal. Only use utensils that are suitable for use in microwave ovens. Metallic containers for food and beverages are not allowed during microwave cooking. This requirement is not applicable if the manufacturer specifies the size and shape of metallic containers suitable for microwave cooking.
2. Microwaves cannot penetrate metal, so metal utensils or dishes with metallic trim should not be used.
3. Do not use recycled paper products when microwave cooking, as they may contain small metal fragments which may cause sparks and/or fires.
4. Round /oval dishes rather than square/oblong ones are recommended, as food in corners tends to overcook.
5. Narrow strips of aluminum foil may be used to prevent overcooking of exposed areas. But be careful don’t use too much and keep a distance of 1 inch (2.54cm) between foil and cavity.

The list below is a general guide to help you select the correct utensils.

CONTROL PANEL

The control panel consists of two function operators. One is a time knob, and the other a power knob.
Power/Action Selector
You use this operator knob to choose a cooking power level. It is the first step to starting a cooking session.
Timer Knob
Offer visual timing settings at easy turn of your thumb to select the desired cooking time up to 30 minutes per cooking session.
Microwave Cooking
For pure microwave cooking, there are five power levels from which to choose one as the best fit to do the job at hand. The power level increases with the knob turning clockwise. The power levels can be classified as the following:

Grill Cooking

With the knob turning clockwise passing the highest microwave power level, the oven comes to the grill cooking function which is particularly useful for thin slices of meat, steaks, chops, kebabs, sausages, or pieces of chicken. It is also suitable for cooking hot sandwiches and au gratin dishes.

Combination Cooking

By its name, this cooking operation combines microwave power with that of grill cooking. The operation is categorized into three levels with different combination power settings as you can see from the following table. These are particularly suitable for certain foods and culinary operations. As well as for keeping the much-desired crispness of certain foods.
The following table shows 3 different power settings for combination programs.

Program| Microwave cooking time| Grill cooking time| Suitable for
---|---|---|---
Comb1| 30%| 70%| Fish, potatoes, au grain
Comb2| 49%| 51%| Pudding, omelets, baked
potatoes
Comb3| 67%| 33%| Poultry

OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS

To start a cooking session,

1. Place food into the oven and close the door.
2. Turn Power Selector to select a power level.
3. Turn the Timer knob to set a cooking time.

NOTE: As soon as the timer is turned, the oven starts cooking. When selecting a time for less than 2 minutes, turn the timer past 2 minutes and then return to the correct time. CAUTION: ALWAYS RETURN TIMER BACK TO ZERO 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, push the door release button or open the door by the handle.

CLEANING AND CARE

1. Turn off the oven and remove the power plug from the wall socket before cleaning.
2. 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.
3. 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 seep into the ventilation openings.
4. Wipe the door and window on both sides, the door seals, and adjacent parts frequently with a damp cloth to remove any spills or spatters. Do not use abrasive cleaner.
5. A steam cleaner is not used.
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. And it is normal.
8. It is occasionally necessary to remove the glass tray for cleaning. Wash the tray in warm sudsy water or in 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 microwaveable bowl, 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. The oven should be cleaned regularly and any food deposits removed. Failure to maintain the oven in a clean condition could lead to deterioration of the surface that could adversely affect the life of the appliance and possibly result in a hazard.
13. Please do not dispose of this appliance in the domestic rubbish bin; it should be disposed to the particular disposal center provided by the municipalities.
14. When the microwave oven with grill function is first used, it may produce slight smoke and smell. This is a normal phenomenon because the oven is made of a steel plate coated with lubricating oil, and the new oven will produce fumes and odor generated by burning the lubricating oil. This phenomenon will disappear after a period of use.
