Roller rest 2 Control Panel MS-2027C MS-2027CS 3 PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY The oven cannot be operated with the door open due to the safety interlocks built in the door mechanism which switch off cooking functions when the door is opened. Operating the oven with the door open could result in harmful exposure to microwave energy. It is important not to tamper with the door mechanism. Do not place any object between the oven front face and the door or allow soil or cleaner residue to accumulate on sealing surfaces. Do not operate the oven if it is damaged. It is particularly important that the oven door closes 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. The oven should not be adjusted or repaired by anyone except qualified service personnel. WARNING When heating liquids, e.g. soups, sauces and beverages in your microwave oven, delayed eruptive boiling can occur without evidence of bubbling. This could result in a sudden boil over of the hot liquid. To prevent this possibility the following steps should be taken: 1. Avoid using straight-sided containers with narrow necks. 2. Do not overheat. 3. Stir the liquid before placing the container in the oven and again halfway through the heating time. 4. After heating, allow to stand in the oven for a short time. Stir or shake the contents (especially feeding bottles and baby foods) and carefully check the temperature before use. Installation 1. Remove all packing materials and accessories. 2. Place the oven on a level surface a minimum of 85cm above the floor with at least 30cm above and 10cm rear space to allow adequate ventilation. The side of the oven should be kept clear so there is air flow for ventilation. The front of the oven should be at least 8cm from the edge of the surface to prevent tipping. An exhaust outlet is located on top or side of the oven. Blocking the outlet can damage the oven. 3. Plug your oven into a standard voltage household outlet. Ensure that the electrical circuit is at least 10 amps and that the oven is the only appliance on the circuit. NOTE: • This appliance should not be used for commercial catering purposes. WARNING: THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code: Blue - Neutral Brown - Live Green and Yellow - Earth If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its service agent or a similarly qualified person in order to avoid hazard. 4 Important safety instructions Read carefully and keep for future reference WARNING: Please ensure cooking times are correctly set as over cooking may result in FIRE and subsequent DAMAGE to the OVEN. 1 Do not attempt to tamper with, or make any adjustments or repairs to the door, control panel, safety interlock switches or any other part of the oven.It is hazardous for anyone to carry out any service or repair operation which involves the removal of any cover which gives protection against exposure to microwave energy. Repairs should only be undertaken by a qualified service technician. 12 Before cooking, pierce the skin of potatoes, apples or any such fruit or vegetable. 13 Do not cook eggs in their shell. Pressure will build up inside the egg which will burst. 14 Do not attempt deep fat frying in your oven. 15 Remove the plastic wrapping from food before cooking or defrosting. Note though that in some cases food should be covered with plastic film, for heating or cooking. 2 Do not operate the oven when empty. It is best to leave a glass of water in the oven when not in use. The water will safely absorb all microwave energy, if the oven is accidentally started. 16 If the oven door or door seals are damaged, the oven must not be operated until it has been repaired by a qualified service technician. 3 Do not use the oven for the purpose of dehumidification. It can be the cause of serious damage of safety. (ex. Operating the microwave oven with the wet newspapers, clothes, toys, pet or portable electric devices, etc.) 17 If smoke is observed, switch off or disconnect the oven from the power supply and keep the oven door closed in order to stifle any flames. 18 When food is heated or cooked in disposable containers of plastic, paper or other combustible materials, check the oven frequently due to the possibility of the food container is deteriorating. 4 Do not cook food wrapped in paper towels, unless your cook book contains instructions, for the food you are cooking. 5 Do not use newspaper in place of paper towels for 19 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 a safe way and understands the hazards of improper use. cooking. 6 Do not use wooden containers. They may heat-up and char. Do not use ceramic containers which have metallic (e.g. gold or silver) inlays. Always remove metal twist ties. Metal objects in the oven may arc, which can cause serious damage. 20 Liquids or other foods must not be heated in sealed containers since they are liable to explode. 21 Do not operate the oven, if the door seals and adjacent parts of the microwave oven are faulty, until the oven has been repaired by a qualified service technician. 7 Do not operate the oven with a kitchen towel, a napkin or any other obstruction between the door and the front edges of the oven, which may cause microwave energy leakage. 22 Check the utensils are suitable for use in microwave 8 Do not use recycled paper products since they may contain impurities which may cause sparks and/or fires when used in cooking. ovens before use. 23 Do not touch the oven door, outer cabinet, rear cabinet, oven cavity,accessories and dishes during grill mode, convection mode and auto cook operations, unless wearing thick oven gloves, as they will become hot.Before clearing make sure they are not hot. 9 Do not rinse the turntable by placing it in water just after cooking. This may cause breakage or damage. 10 Small amounts of food require shorter cooking or heating time. If normal times are allowed they may overheat and burn. 11 Be certain to place the oven so the front of the door is 8 cm or more behind the edge of the surface on which it is placed, to avoid accidental tipping of the appliance. 5 Important safety instructions 24 Only use utensils that are suitable for use in microwave ovens. 31 The oven should be cleaned regularly and any food deposits removed. 25 When heating food in plastic or paper containers, keep an eye on the oven due to the possibility of ignition. 32 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 hazardous situation. 33 Only use the temperature probe recommended for this oven (for appliances having a facility to use a temperature-sensing probe). 34 If heating elements are provided, during use the appliance becomes hot.Care should be taken to avoid touching heating elements inside the oven. 35 The appliance is not intended for use by young children or infirm persons without supervision. 26 If smoke is observed, switch off or unplug the appliance and keep the door closed in order to stifle any flames. 27 Microwave heating of beverages can result in delayed eruptive boiling,therefore care must be taken when handing the container. 28 The contents of feeding bottles and baby food jars shall be stirred or shaken and the temperature checked before consumption, in order to avoid burns. 29 Eggs in their shell and whole hard-boiled eggs should not be heated in microwave ovens since they may explode, even after microwave heating has ended. 30 Details for cleaning door seals, cavities and adjacent parts. WARNING: If the door or door seals are damaged, the oven must not be operated until it has been repaired by a competent person. WARNING: It is hazardous for anyone other than a competent person to carry out any service or repair operation that involves the removal of a cover which gives protection against exposure to microwave energy. WARNING: Liquids and other foods must not be heated in sealed containers since they are liable to explode. WARNING: 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 a safe way and understands the hazards of improper use. 6 Cooking Utensils COOKING UTENSILS Utensils should be checked to ensure that they are suitable for use in the microwave oven. The following chart summarises the proper use of cooking utensils in your oven: Cooking utensils Heat resistant glass, glass ceramic Ceramic, china Microwave yes yes (Do not use china with gold or silver trim.) no no yes yes yes no Metal cookware Non-heat resistant glass Microwave plastic Plastic wrap Paper (cup, plates, towels) Straw, wicker and wood Note: Consult your cookbook, individual recipes, and charts for correct use of cooking containers, products, and other useful information. Microwave 1. Most glass, glass ceramic, and heat resistant glassware utensils are excellent. Those with metal trim should not be used in a microwave oven. 2. Paper napkins, towels, plates, cups, cartons, and cardboard can be used in the microwave oven. Do not use recycled paper products since they may contain impurities which may cause sparks and/or fires when used in cooking. (Consult your cookbook for correct use of these products.) 3. Plastic dishes, cups, freezer bags, and plastic wraps may be used in the microwave oven. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions or the information given in the cookbook when using plastics in the microwave oven. 4. Metal utensils and utensils with metallic trim should not be used in the microwave oven. For more information on the proper use of metal in your oven, please read the introduction section in the cookbook. If the use of aluminum foil, skewers, or utensils containing metal in the oven is specified in the recipe, allow at least 2.5cm clearance between the metal object and the interior oven wall. If arcing (sparks) occurs, remove immediately. Notes: • Care should be taken when removing utensils or the glass turntable, as they may become hot during cooking. • Only use a thermometer that is designed or recommended for use in the microwave oven. • Ensure the turntable is in place when you operate the oven. 7 Other Helpful Instructions 5. It may be necessary to increase or decrease the cooking time in some recipes, depending on the starting temperature of the foods. For best results and more enjoyable cooking, please read these comments thoroughly. For Best Results: 1. When determining the time for a particular food, begin by using minimum time and checking condition occasionally. It is easy to overcook food because microwaves cook very quickly. 2. Small quantities of food, or foods with low water content may dry out and become hard if cooked too long. NOTE: Air from the vent may become warm during cooking. Browning: There are a few foods which are not cooked long enough in the microwave oven to brown and may need additional colour. Coatings such as paprika, and browning agents such as Worcestershire sauce may be used on chops, meat patties or chicken pieces. Roasts, poultry or ham, cooked for 10-15 minutes or longer, will brown without extra additives. Defrosting Frozen Foods: 1. Foods that have been frozen can be placed directly in the oven for thawing. (Be certain to remove any metallic ties or wraps.) 2. Defrost according to the Defrosting Tips found in this Manual. 3. For areas of the food thawing faster than others, cover with small pieces of aluminium foil. This helps slow down or stop the defrosting process. 4. Some foods should not be completely thawed before cooking. For example, fish cooks so quickly that it is sometimes better to begin cooking while still slightly frozen. Cleaning and Care BE SURE THE OVEN IS TURNED OFF BEFORE CLEANING. Keep the oven interior surfaces clean and dry. As a general rule clean after each use. DOOR The door and door seals should be kept clean at all times. Use only warm, soapy water to rinse then dry thoroughly. DO NOT USE ABRASIVE MATERIALS, SUCH AS CLEANING POWDERS OR STEEL AND PLASTIC PADS. Metal parts will be easier to maintain if wiped frequently with a damp cloth. INTERIOR WALLS Remove any crumbs and food remains between the door and oven using a damp cloth. This area has to be particularly well cleaned to ensure the door will close properly. Remove any grease splashes with a soapy cloth then rinse and dry. Do not use abrasives which may scratch and damage the painted surface of the oven. NEVER POUR WATER INTO THE OVEN EXTERIOR Clean with mild soap and warm water, rinse and dry with a soft cloth. Do not use abrasive materials. Do not spill water in the vents. If the power lead becomes soiled wipe it with a damp cloth. ROLLER REST The roller rest should be removed and cleaned in hot soapy water at least once a week to prevent grease restricting the rotation of the wheels. 8 Operating Procedure MICROWAVE COOKING See page 3. WEIGHT DEFROST COOKING See page 3. 1. Open the oven door, place the food on the turntable in the oven, and close the oven door. Defrosting frozen food is one of the benefits of a microwave oven. Defrosting using a microwave oven is much faster than in the refrigerator and safer than at room temperature, as it does not promote the growth of harmful bacteria. 2. Set the power selector (�) to the desired power level. There are five power levels from 90 Watts to max. The power selector can be set to any one of these positions. It is important to remember that defrosting takes longer than normal cooking. Check the food, turning it over at least once during defrosting. MS-2027C MS-2027CS 1. Turn the power select knob (�) to set the defrosting mode. ( ) :DWW 2. Turn the timer knob (�) clockwise to set the weight (kg) of food. PD[ GHIURVW NOTE: The oven starts working as soon as the timer knob is turned. Each number on the scale represents one kg. 3. Set the timer (�) to the desired cooking time. The turntable begins to rotate and cooking starts. At the end of cooking time the bell will ring, and the lamp is turned off. Note: • Each number on the scale represents one minute. To ensure accurate timing, it is advisable to turn the timer knob slightly past the desired cooking time and then back to the proposed setting. • Press the door opener to check the cooking condition during oven operation. Opening the door during cooking automatically turns off the oven and stops the timer. If cooking is to continue, close the door - the oven will turn on and the timer will resume counting. • The turntable may rotate in either direction. 9 Heating or Reheating Guide To heat or reheat successfully in the microwave, it is important to follow several guidelines. Measure the amount of food in order to determine the time needed to reheat. Arrange the food in a circular pattern for best results. Room temperature food will heat faster than refrigerated food. Canned foods should be taken out of the can and placed in a microwavable container. The food will be heated more evenly if covered with a microwavable lid or vented plastic wrap. Remove cover carefully to prevent steam burns. Use the following chart as a guide for reheating cooked food.

Remove any metal rings, twist ties, wire or foil. • Place meat in a shallow baking dish to catch juices. • Defrost meats only as long as necesssary. Separate items like chops, sausages and bacon as soon as possible. Remove defrosted portions and continue to defrost remaining pieces. • Whole pieces of meat are ready for standing time as soon as a fork can be pushed into the centre of the meat using moderate pressure. The centre will still be icy. Allow to stand until completely thawed. • Defrost meat on defrost mode.

Standing time for joints of meat, large vegetables and cakes is to allow the inside to cook completely, without overcooking the outside. Q. What’s wrong when the oven light will not glow? A. ■ Light bulb has blown. ■ Door is not closed. Q. Why is steam coming out of the air exhaust vent and/or why is water dripping from the bottom of the door? A. Steam is normally produced during cooking operations. The microwave has been made to vent this steam out of the side vent, occasionally this steam condenses on the door and water then drips out at the bottom of the door. This is quite normal and safe. Q. Why does my oven not always cook as fast as the microwave cooking guide says? A. Check your cooking guide again, to make sure you’ve followed directions exactly; and to see what might cause variations in cooking time. Cooking guide times and heat settings are suggestions, to help prevent over-cooking . . . the most common problem in getting used to a microwave oven. Variations in the size, shape and weights and dimensions could require longer cooking time. Use your own judgement along with the cooking guide suggestions to check whether the food has been properly cooked just as you would do with a conventional cooker. Q. Does microwave energy pass through the viewing screen in the door? A. No. The metal screen reflects the energy to the oven cavity. The holes, or ports are made to allow light to pass; they do not let microwave energy through. Q. Will the microwave oven be damaged if it operates while empty? A. Yes. Never run it empty. Q. Why do sparks and crackling (arcing) occur in the oven? A. There may be several reasons why sparks and crackling (arcing) within cavity happens. ■ You are using dishes with metal parts or trim (silver or gold). ■ You have left a fork or other metal utensil in the oven. ■ You are using a large amount of metal foil. ■ You are using a metal twist-tie. Q. Why do eggs sometimes pop? A. When baking or poaching eggs, the yolk may pop due to steam build-up inside the yolk membrane. To prevent this, simply pierce the yolk with a toothpick before cooking. Never cook eggs witthout piercing their shells. Q. Why is standing time recommended after the cooking operation has been completed? A. Standing time is very important. With microwave cooking, the heat is in the food, not in the oven. 13 Technical Specifications MS-2027C / MS-2027CS 230V AC,50Hz 800 W 2450 MHz 455*281*345 1200W Power Input Output (IEC 60705 RATING STANDARD) Microwave Frequency Outside Dimensions(W*H*D mm) Power Consumption • Dimensions shown are approximate. • Because we continually strive to improve our products we may change specifications without prior notice. 14 P/No.:MFL06500202
