PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURETO EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY

(a) Never interfere or tamper with safety interlocks.

(b) Do not place any object between the oven front face and the door or allow soil or cleanerresidue to accumulate on door sealing surfaces. Wipe the door sealing area frequently witha mild detergent, rinse and wipe dry. Never use abrasive powders or pads.

(d) Do not operate the oven if it is damaged. It is particularly important that the oven doorcloses 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

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautionsshould be followed, including the following:

WARNING - To reduce the risk of burns, electric shock, fire, injuryto persons or exposure to excessive microwave energy:

1. Read all instructions before using.2. As with most cooking appliances, close

supervision is necessary to reduce the risk of afire in the oven cavity.

Q.

A.

What is wrong when the oven light does notglow during cooking?There may be several reasons why the ovenlight does not glow. Perhaps:Door is not closed and locked. Push firmly tobe sure that door is locked properly.The light bulb has burned out.

Why is steam coming out of the air exhaustvent?Steam is normally produced during cooking.The microwave oven has been made to ventthis steam.

Can the microwave oven be damaged if itoperates empty?Yes. Never operate while empty or without theturntable positioned correctly on the roller rest.

When the oven is plugged into a wall outlet forthe first time, it might not work properly. Whatis wrong?When the oven is plugged in for the first timeor when power resumes after a powerinterruption, the microcomputer used in theoven control may temporarily becomescrambled and fail to function as programmed.Unplug the oven from the wall outlet and thenplug it back in. The microcomputer will thenreset for proper functioning.

Why do 1see light reflection around the outercase?This light is from the oven light located outsidethe oven cavity.

Why is there noise coming from the turntablewhen the oven is turned on?This noise occurs when the turntable roller restand cavity bottom are dirty. Frequent cleaningof these parts should eliminate or reduce thenoise.

Instructions for aluminium foil use areconfusing. When should I use foil?It should be used to shield portions of foodfrom becoming overcooked or overdefrosted.Use small flat pieces of foil for shielding.

Q.

A,

What is wrong when baked foods have a hard,dry brown spot?This is caused by overcooking. Shortencooking or reheating time.

Why do eggs sometimes pop?The egg yolk may pop because of steambuild-up inside the membrane. To prevent this,simply pierce the membrane with a toothpickbefore cooking it.CAUTION: Never microwave eggs in the shellsince they may explode.

Why are scrambled eggs sometimes a little dryafter cooking?Eggs dry out if they are overcooked. You mayneed to vary the cooking time for one of thesereasons:Eggs vary in size.Eggs are at room temperature one time and atrefrigerator temperature another time.The shapes of utensils vary, which makes itnecessary to vary cooking time.Eggs continue cooking during standing time.

What is wrong when three potatoes bakethoroughly and the fourth one is still notcooked?The fourth potato may be slightly heavier thanthe others and should be cooked 30 to 60seconds longer. Remember to allow 2.5 cmaround each potato when baking. For moreeven cooking, place potatoes in a circle.

Why do baked apples sometimes burst duringcooking?The peel has not been removed from the tophalf of each apple to allow for expansion of theinterior of the apple during cooking. As inregular cooking methods, the interior of theapple expands during the cooking process.

How are boil-overs avoided?Use a larger utensil than usual for cooking. Ifyou open the oven door or touch STOPICLEAR,the food will stop boiling.

Why does the dish become hot when Imicrowave food in it?As the food becomes hot it will conduct theheat into the dish. Use oven mitts to removefood after cooking.
