INSTALLATION

CONNECTING TO THE MAINS

Before you use your oven, check that the voltage shown on the data label located on the face of the oven confirms with your mains supply. The mains lead is fitted with a non-removable moulded-on 13 amp plug containing a 13 amp fuse. If the fuse requires replacing at any time, the fuse cover should be removed using a small screwdriver to lever it out. The old fuse should be replaced by a 13 amp ASTA approved BS1362 fuse and the fuse cover must be refitted before the plug is used again.

If the plug supplied on the mains lead is not suitable for the socket in your home, it should be cut off and disposed of safety, or destroyed, to avoid any possible shock hazard resulting from the plug being inserted into a

13 ampsocket elsewhere in hte house. A suitable replacement plug should then be fittd as given below. (If a 13 amp plug and socket are not used, the circuit supplying the ovenshould contain a 13 amp fuse.)

If the fuse cover is lost or damaged, the plug must not be used until a replacement is obtained. Replacement fuse covers are available from Sanyo Service Centres. It is important that the colour of the replacement fuse cover corresponds with the coloured insert or as embossed in words on the base of the plug.

WARNING - THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED

IMPORTANT The wires in this mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:

Green-and-yellow: Earth. Blue: Neutral. Brown: Live

As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this appliance may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:

The wire which is coloured green-and-yellow must be connected to the terminal in the plug which is marked with the letter E or by the earth symbol or coloured green or green-and-yellow.

The wire which is coloured blue must be connected to the terminalwhich is marked with the letter N or coloured black.

The wire which is coloured brown must be connected to the terminal which marked with the letter L or coloured red.

FUSE The appliance must be protected by a 13-amp fuse, fitted to the 13-amp mains plug (BS1363).

POSITIONING THE OVEN

1. Install the oven on a flat, level surface sttong enough to safely bear the weight of the oven.

2. Do not locate the oven near areas where heat and moisture are generated as this may lower oven efficiency.

3. Covering the air vents may lead to the malfunctioning, therefore a minimum of 5 cm is required above, to each side and to the rear of the oven.

4. This oven conforms to EEC Radio interference

Directive 87/308/EEC, however some interference may occur if it is placed too close to a radio or TV, so keep them as far apart as possible.

5. A minimum free space of 17 cm above the oven should be present.

WARNING

(a) Do not adjust or repair microwave oven yourself. Do not operate the oven if it is dam aged, until it has been repaired by a service enginer trained by the manufacturer.

(b) It is dangerous for anyone other than a properly qualified engineer trained by the manufacturer to carry out adjustments or repairs.

(c) If the power supply cord is damaged, it must be relaced by the manufacturer, as a specially prepared cord is required.

(d) On no account remove or interfere with any parts or screws.

THIS COULD PROVE VERY DANGEROUS.

HOW TO USE YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN SAFELY (Important)

Although your oven is provided with safety features, it is important to observe the following:

1. Do not tamper with safety interlocks.

2. Do not place any object between the oven and the door or allow any food residue to accumulate on sealing surfaces. Wipe the door sealing area frequently with a mild detergent rinse and wipe dry.

Never use abrasive powders or pads.

3. When opened, the door must not be subjected to strain, for example, a child hanging on an opened door may cause the oven to fall forward resulting in injury.

4. If any damage is apparent, do not operate the oven.

Contact your nearest SANYO SERVICE CENTER.

5.Utensils should be checked to ensure that they are suitable for use in microwave oven.

6.If smoked is observed, switch off or unplug the appliance and keep door closed in order to stifle any flames.

NOTE

It is quite normal for steam to be emitted around the door, 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.

WARNING

1. Do not heat foods or liquids in bottles or jars with lids on. Air must be allowed to escape from the container.

2. Milk or food for babies should be heated on POWER

LEVEL 4. It should then be stirred thoroughly and tested to ensure that it is at the correct temperature before giving it to the baby.

3. When boiling water or other liquids, be sure to use a wide mouthed container, this will allow air bubbles to escape freely and prevent boiling over. Overheating the liquid beyond boiling point can occur without the evidence of boiling. This could result in a sudden boil over of the hot liquid.

4. Do not attempt to operate the oven while empty as this will cause damage.

5. Do not deep fry in the microwave oven as the temperature of the oil cannot be controlled and it may over heat.

6. It is important to keep the oven interior clean. Food particles left on the oven walls reduce the efficiency of the microwaves.

7. Never completely seal containers in the microwave oven. Coverings are necessary but containers must not be airtight.

8. Do not cook eggs in their shells or reheat hard boiled eggs in their shells because they will explode.

Puncture the membrane around the yolk before cooking eggs.This prevents the yolk swelling faster than the membrane and the egg exploding when heated quickly.

9. Small quantities of food with low moisture content or high fat or sugar content can burn, dry out or catch fire if cooked or re-heated too long.

Please note that the heating/cooking period required is extremely short: for example it only takes approximately 15 seconds to heat one mince pie or similar.

In the unlikely event of a fire occurring, turn off the oven and its electrical supply, pull out the plug, but

KEEP THE OVEN DOOR CLOSED.

10.Always pierce food which has a skin or membrane , for example, potatoes, tomatoes, apples, sausages etc. If you don't pierce them steam will build up inside and they may explode.

11. When disposable containers of plastic, paper or other combustible materials are used to reheat food, it is advisable to check from time to time during the cooking cycle.

12.If the door or door seals are damaged, the oven must not be operated until it has been repaired by a com- petent person.

13.It has hazardous for anyone other than a competent person to carryout any service or repair operation wihch involves the removal of a cover which gives protection agaisnt exposure to microwave energy.

14.Microwave heating of beverages can result in delayed eruptive boiling therefore care has to be taken when handling the container.

15.Feeding bottles and baby food jars shall be open when heted and the contents are to be sitrred or shaken, and the temperature is to be checked before consumption, in order to avoid burns.

16.Liauid and other foods must not be heated in sealed containers since they are liable to explode.

HOW TO USE YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN SAFELY (cont.)

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 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 open door or any load which could cause the oven to fall forward and cause injury and damage the door. Do not operate the oven if it is damaged, until it has been repaired by a qualified person. It is particularly important that the oven door close 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) The oven should not be adjusted or repaired by anyone except properly qualified service personnel

.

CARE OF YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN

1. Disconnect the AC plug from the outlet before cleaning.

4. If the Control Panel becomes wet, clean with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use harsh detergents or abrasives on

Control Panel.

2. Keep the inside of the oven clean. When food spatters or spilled liquids adhere to oven walls, wipe with a damp cloth. Mild detergent may be used if the oven gets very dirty. The use of harsh detergent or abrasives is not recommended.

5. If steam accumulates on both sides of the oven door, wipe with a soft cloth. This may occur when the micro- wave oven is operated under high humidity conditions and this is not an indication of a malfunction in the unit.

3. The outside oven surface should be cleaned with soap and water, rinsed and dried with a soft cloth. To prevent damage to the operating parts inside the oven, water should not be allowed to seep into the ventilation slots.

How to clean the exhaust opening

1. Remove the two plastic pins and take off the duct cover.

2. Wipe any spills and splashes on the surface of the exhaust opening with a mild detergent solution, rinse and wipe dry. Wash the duct cover in mild sudsy water, rinse and wipe dry.

3. To reassemble, place the duct cover in position and push in the pins firmly.

USABLE COOKING UTENSILS AND MATERIALS

OVENPROOF GLASS

Ovenware (treated for high intensity heat), such as mixing bowls, bread dishes, pie plates, cake plates, liquid measuring cups, casseroles and bowls without metallic decoration.

CHINA

Bowls, cups, serving pieces, plates and platters without metallic decoration.

POTTERY

Dishes, cups, mugs and bowls.

PLASTIC

Plastic wrap (cling film) may be used as a cover. Lay the plastic wrap loosely over the dish and press it to the sides. The dish should be deep enough so that plastic wrap will not touch the food, also the film should be pierced to allow steam to escape. As the food heats, it may cause the wrap to melt wherever it touches the food. Plastic dishes, cups, semi-rigid freezer containers, and plastic bags are usable for short cooking operations. Use with care as some softening of the plastic can occur due to heat from the food.

Not suitable for microwave cooking

METAL UTENSILS

Metal utensils are not recommended because the metal shields the food from microwave energy on the bottom and sides, causing uneven cooking result.

Metal utensils will also cause arcing and damage to the appliance.

METAL DECORATION

Metal-trimmed or banded dinnerware, casseroles, etc., should not be used, the metal trim may cause arcing.

ALUMINIUM FOIL

Large sheets or pieces of aluminium foil should be avoided because they will disrupt cooking and may cause harmful arcing. However, smaller pieces may be used to cover areas such as poultry legs and wings. Any aluminum foil use should never be closer than 1 inch from side walls of oven.

WOOD

Wooden bowls and boards will become dried out when used in the microwave oven and may split or crack.

OTHER

Avoid using cracked, flawed, or defective utensils, including ovenproof glassware.

CAUTION:

DO NOT USE METAL TIES ON ANY PAPER OR

PLASTIC BAGS; THE TIES BECOME HOT AND

COULD CAUSE A FIRE.

CARE AND CLEANING

Wipe any spills and splashes inside and outside the oven with a mild detergent solution, rinse, and wipe dry. Do not use the alkaline detergent. Any food left in the oven could possibly cause arcing due to carbonisation.Never use abrasive powders or pads.

WHAT TO DO IF REPAIRS ARE NEEDED

1. Get in contact with your nearest SANYO SERVICE

CENTER. It is dangerous for anyone other than a properly qualified service engineer trained by SANYO to carry out adjustments or repairs.

• If the interior lamp does not light when the oven timer is set: a. Make sure that the mains lead is securely plugged in. b. Make sure that the door is properly closed.

2. If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a

SANYO SERVICE CENTER, as a special prepared cord is required.

• If the lamp inside lights but the food is not heated: a. Make sure that the food is not completely covered with a metal container or aluminium foil.

3. On no account remove or interfere with any parts or screws. “THIS COULD PROVE VERY DANGEROUS”.

Make the following simple check before contacting a

SANYO SERVICE CENTER.

• Noisy operation: a. Make sure that sparks are not being produced due to the use of metal utensils.

b. Make absolutely sure that the contents of the oven are not touching the oven roof.
