HOW TO USE YOUR SANYO MICROWAVE OVEN SAFELY
Although your oven is provided with safety features, it is
important to observe the following:
a) It is important not to defeat or tamper with safety interlocks.
b) Do not place any object between the oven front face and the door
or allow residue to accumulate on sealing surfaces. Wipe the
sealing area frequently with a mild detergent, rinse and wipe dry.
Never use abrasive powders or pads.
c) When opened, the door must not be subjected to strain, for
example, a child hanging on an opened door or any load could
cause the oven to fall forward to cause injury and also damage to
the door.
Do not operate the oven if it is damaged, until it has been repaired
by a qualified service engineer. It is particularly important that the
oven door closes properly and that there is no damage to the :
i) Door (bent)
ii) Hinges and Latches (broken or loosened)
iii) Door seals and Sealing surfaces
d) It is dangerous for anyone other than a properly qualified service
engineer trained by SANYO to carry out adjustments or repairs.
NOTE
It is quite normal for steam to be emitted around the door, or for
misting to occur on the door, or even for water droplets to appear
below the door during the cooking cycle. This is merely
condensation from the heat of the food and does not affect the
safety of your oven.
The door is not intended to seal the oven cavity completely but its
special SANYO design contributes to the complete safety of the
appliance.
Note: After cooking or when you stop cooking by opening the door.
The fan of the oven will turn for one minute.
: If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced
by SANYO SERVICE CENTER, as a special prepared
cord is required. For U.K. plug (432-0-8390-51200)
For Australian plug (432-0-8390-54300)
HINTS FOR COOKING
1. Microwave cooking time
¡As when cooking with other forms of heat, microwaves can
cause the moisture in foods to evaporate so that the food will
burn if overheated.
¡Do not set the timer for a longer time than necessary.
¡The first time you make a dish with this oven, stop cooking a bit
early and check on the cooking progress.
¡Do not overcook. Baked foods having a hard, dry brown spot
after microwave cooking indicates overcooking.
2. Do not heat small quantities of food or dried foods for long periods
of time.
¡Such foods may burn or catch fire, and the oven will also be
affected in much the same way as if it were operating empty.
Put a cup of water in the oven when heating such foods.
3. Always make sure that closed containers, such as jars of baby
food, are opened and plastic pouches of vegetables are pierced
before cooking.
¡Tightly closed containers could explode.
OTHER SAFEGUARDS:
1. Never remove the cabinet.
High voltage electricity is used in this oven, so be sure not to
remove the cabinet.
2. Be careful not to spill water over the oven, especially near the air
vents.
3. Never operate the oven without the air filter which is located on
the underside of cabinet. Air Filter must be kept clean for
maximum efficiency.
4. Do not operate when there is no food in the oven.
Operation of the oven when empty shortens the service life of
the magnetron and causes overheating.
Also, the internal components of oven melt or burn and will
damage the product.
5. Do not operate without the cooking tray inside the oven.
The oven can become stained by food burning on to the base of
oven.
6. When cooking, never allow aluminum foil, metal skewers or
other metallic objects to touch the glass viewing window or
oven cavity.
This may cause sparking at the point of contact, may break the
glass, or cause damage to the oven walls.
7. Do not leave the oven in unattended operation when food is
heated or cooked in disposable containers of plastic, paper or
other combustible materials.
8. If smoke is observed, keep the oven door closed and switch off
by disconnecting the oven from the power supply.
9. Do not do anything that may interfere with the operation of the
upper or lower hinges and/or latches of the oven's door. Such
interference causes unit malfunctions.
10. Do not use excessive force when pressing the unit's keys, or
press them with metal or sharp utensils or objects. These can
damage the unit and lead to malfunctions.
11. Do not place or store things on top of the unit, as it can become
quite hot during operation and there is the danger of melting or
harming them.
12. Keep the plug clean at all times to ensure proper operation.
13. 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 safe way and understands the hazards of improper use.
4. Avoid heating baby bottles or baby food jars. Transfer the food into
a suitable container for the microwave oven. The food tempera-
ture should be tested before giving it to the baby.
5. Do not cook eggs in their shells because they will explode.
¡Prick the membrane around the yolk before frying eggs to allow
steam to escape. This is because the yolk swells faster than the
membrane and the egg explodes when heated quickly. Eggs
cannot be boiled in this microwave oven.
6. Do not overheat.
¡During defrosting, shorten the time to avoid overcooking.
7. Never use the oven as a Clothes Drying Cabinet.
Since there is no heating time guide for drying things like paper or
cloth, using the oven for this purpose may lead to oven damage
or Fire!
8. When boiling water or other liquids, be sure to use wide mouthed
containers. This will allow air bubbles to escape freely. Should a
narrow mouthed container be used, air bubbles may combine to
form a large bubble which may in turn cause the liquid to boil over.
This may happen even after cooking has stopped.
