HOW TO USE YOUR OVEN SAFELY  
1. When boiling water or other liquids, be  
sure to use a wide mouthed container,  
this will allow air bubbles to escape freely  
extremely short: for example mince pies  
or similar.  
and prevent boiling over. Overheating the  
liquid beyond boiling point can occur  
without evidence of bubbling. This could  
result in a sudden boil over of the hot  
liquid.  
6. Always pierce food, which has a skin or  
membrane, for example, eggs, potatoes,  
tomatoes, apples, sausages etc. If you  
don’t pierce them steam will build up  
inside and they may explode.  
7. 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.  
2. Do not attempt to operate the oven while  
empty, as this will cause damage.  
3. Do not deep fry in the microwave oven as  
the temperature of the oil cannot be  
controlled and it may overheat.  
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 safety of  
the appliance.  
4. Never completely seal containers in the  
microwave  
oven.  
Coverings  
are  
necessary but containers must not be  
airtight.  
5. 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  
ALTHOUGH YOUR OVEN IS PROVIDED WITH SAFETY FEATURES, IT IS  
IMPORTANT TO OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:  
a. Do not tamper with safety interlocks.  
b. 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.  
c. 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.  
d. If any damage is apparent, do not operate the oven. Contact your nearest SANYO SERVICE  
CENTRE.  
e. Children may use the appliance only without supervision as long as instructions have been  
given, which enable the child to operate the oven safely and make the child aware of the  
dangers of false operation

OTHER IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS  
The following safety precautions should  
be followed when using these  
appliances.  
7. Never microwave eggs in the shell since  
they may explode. The egg yolk may pop  
because of a build-up of steam inside the  
membrane. To prevent this, pierce the  
membrane before cooking it.  
1. Read all instructions before first use.  
2. When using the grill and / or convection  
function for the first time, smoke and  
odour may be given off for a few minutes.  
This is normal during first operation, and  
is no cause for alarm.  
3. As with most cooking appliances close  
supervision is necessary to reduce the  
risk of a fire in the oven cavity.  
WHEN COOKING BY GRILL:  
1. Take care not to spill water on the  
glass-viewing  
window  
during  
or  
immediately after cooking as it may crack.  
2. Be sure to use an oven glove when  
loading and unloading the ovens. Care  
should be taken to avoid pressing cavity  
walls inside oven.  
3. Be careful not to press the viewing  
window when loading or unloading the  
oven.  
If a fire should start;  
Keep the door closed.  
Turn the oven off  
Disconnect the power cord or shut  
off the power at the mains.  
Other important safety points to remember  
are:  
4. The top of the cabinet gets very hot,  
therefore do not place items on the  
oven. Do not place the oven near  
combustible materials e.g. curtains,  
kitchen paper.  
1. Do not use wire ties in the oven. Be sure  
to inspect purchased items for wire ties  
and remove before placing food in the  
oven.  
2. It is important to keep the oven interior  
clean. Food particles left on the oven  
walls reduce the efficiency of the  
microwaves.  
3. Do not heat foods or liquids in bottle or  
jars with lids on. Air must be allowed to  
escape from the container.  
4. Milk or food for babies should be heated  
on “MEDIUM”. It should then be stirred  
thoroughly and tested to ensure that it is  
at the correct temperature before giving it  
to the baby.  
5. The grill may cycle on/off during  
operation.  
6. IMPORTANT GRILLING MEAT  
CHICKEN PIECES  
/
Roasting joints / whole Chicken  
pieces  
Place on an upturned saucer in a flat  
dish. Turn over and remove any juices  
halfway through cooking.  
Smaller Cuts:  
Place on the grill rack, place a dish on  
the turntable beneath the rack to catch  
any liquid. Turn meat over and remove  
any juices halfway through cooking.  
5. Care must be taken when removing cups  
of hot liquid from the turntable.  
6. Cups should be lifted not slid to the edge  
of the turntable to prevent tipping.  
WARNING  
a) Do not adjust or repair the microwave oven yourself. Do not operate the oven if it is  
damaged, until it has been repaired by a service engineer 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/cable is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or  
its service agent or a similar qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.  
d) On no account remove or interfere with any parts or screws.  
THIS COULD PROVE VERY DANGEROUS.  
PLEASE SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

INSTALLATION  
CONNECTING TO THE MAINS  
coloured in accordance with the following code:  
Green-and-yellow: Earth  
Blue: Neutral  
Before you use your oven, check that the  
voltage shown on the face of the oven  
conforms with your mains supply. The mains  
lead has a 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 fuse and the  
fuse cover must be refitted before the plug is  
used again.  
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 terminal,  
which is marked with the letter N or coloured  
black. The wire, which is coloured brown,  
must be connected to the terminal, which is  
marked with the letter L or colour red.  
It is recommended that a separate circuit  
serving only the oven be provided. Using a  
high voltage is dangerous and may result in a  
fire or other accident causing oven damage.  
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 safely, or  
destroyed, to avoid possible shock hazard  
resulting from the plug being inserted into a  
13 amp socket).  
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.  
Note:  
1. If you have any questions about grounding  
or electrical instructions, please consult a  
qualified electrician or service person.  
2. Neither the manufacturer nor the dealer can  
accept any liability for damage to the oven or  
personal injury resulting from a failure to  
observe the electrical connection procedure.  
WARNING – THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE  
EARTHED  
IMPORTANT: The wires in this mains lead are  
6
 
level.  
OVEN POSITIONING  
1. Make sure that all packing materials are  
removed from inside of the door.  
2. Check the oven for any damage, such as  
a misaligned or bent door, damaged door  
seals and sealing surface, broken or  
loose door hinges and latches and dents  
inside the cavity or on the door. If there is  
any damage, do not operate the oven  
and contact qualified service personnel.  
3. Install the oven on a flat, level surface  
strong enough to safely bear the weight  
of the oven.  
4. Do not locate the oven near areas where  
heat and moisture are generated as this  
may lower oven efficiency.  
5. Covering the air vents may lead to  
malfunctioning; therefore  
a
minimum  
clearance of 20cm is required above the  
oven, 10cm at the back and 5cm to each  
side of the oven.  
6. Some interference may occur if it is  
placed too close to a radio or TV, so keep  
them as far apart as possible.  
7. The microwave oven must be installed at  
a minimum height of 85cms above floor

OVEN UTENSILS  
1. The ideal material for a microwave utensil is transparent to microwave, it allows energy to  
pass through the container and heat the food.  
2. Microwave cannot penetrate metal, so metal utensils or dishes with metallic trim should not be  
used.  
3. Do not use recycled paper products when microwave cooking, as they may contain small  
metal fragments which may cause sparks and/or fires.  
4. Round /oval dishes rather than square/oblong ones are recommend, as food in corners tends  
to overcook.  
5. Narrow strips of aluminium foil may be used to prevent overcooking of exposed areas. But be  
careful not to use too much and keep a distance of 1 inch (2.54cm) between foil and cavity.  
The list below is a general guide to help you select the correct utensils.
