1. Turn off the oven and unplug the power cord from the wall when 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 detergents may be used if the oven gets very dirty. Avoid using spray or other
harsh cleaners. They may stain, streak or dull the door surface.
3. The outside of the oven 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. Do not allow the control panel to become wet. Clean with a soft, damp cloth. When cleaning the
control panel, leave oven door open to prevent oven from accidentally turning on.
6. 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 condition. And it is normal.
7. It is occasionally necessary to remove the glass tray for cleaning. Wash the tray in warm sudsy water
or in a dishwasher.
8. 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, soapy water or
in a dishwasher. When removing the roller ring, be sure to replace it in the proper position.
9. Remove odors from your oven by combining a cup of water with the juice and skin of one lemon in
a microwaveable bowl. Microwave for 5 minutes. Wipe thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth.
10. If the light bulb burns out, please contact customer service to have it replaced.
11. The oven should be cleaned regularly and any food deposits should be removed. Failure to maintain
the oven in a clean condition could lead to deterioration of surface that could adversely affect the life of
the unit and could possibly result in a hazardous situation.
12. Please do not dispose of this appliance into the domestic rubbish bin; it should be disposed to the
specific disposal center provided by the municipalities.

COOKING TECHNIQUES
Your microwave makes cooking easier than conventional cooking, provided you keep these consider-
ations in mind:
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.
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 overcook-
ing, place delicate areas, such as asparagus tips, toward the center of the turntable.
SHIELDING
Shield food with narrow strips of aluminium foil to prevent overcooking. Areas that need shielding
include poultry wing-tips, the ends of poultry legs, and corners of square baking dishes. Use only small
amounts of aluminium foil. Larger amounts can damage your oven.
TURNING
Turn foods over midway through cooking to expose all parts to microwave energy. This is especially
important with large foods such as roasts.
STANDING
Foods cooked in the microwave build up internal heat and continue to cook for a few minutes after
heating stops. Let foods stand to complete cooking, especially foods such as cakes and whole vegeta-
bles. 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.
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.
