This document outlines the features, usage, and maintenance of the Sanyo EM-U1000W/B Microwave Oven, a compact and efficient appliance designed for household use.
The Sanyo EM-U1000W/B Microwave Oven is a versatile kitchen appliance primarily used for cooking, reheating, and defrosting various food items. It operates with 800 watts of maximum power output, making it suitable for a range of culinary tasks. The oven features a compact 0.7 cubic foot capacity, ideal for smaller kitchens or limited counter space. A 10-5/8 inch glass turntable ensures even cooking by rotating food during operation.
For ease of use, the microwave is equipped with six direct access keys, allowing for quick programming of popular foods and treatments, such as popcorn, baked potatoes, frozen entrees, beverages, pizza, and general reheating. This simplifies the cooking process, requiring minimal steps for common tasks. The oven also offers ten power levels, providing flexibility to adjust cooking intensity for different types of food, from 10% to 100% power. A digital display shows cooking time, clock time, and other relevant information.
Key usage features include a clock function, allowing users to set the correct time of day, and a kitchen timer that can be used independently, even while a cooking program is in progress. For safety, the oven includes a child lock-out feature, which prevents unintended operation by children.
The microwave supports various cooking methods. Time cooking allows users to set a specific cooking duration, up to 99 minutes and 99 seconds, with adjustable power levels. Multistage cooking is a sophisticated feature that enables programming up to two distinct cooking stages, each with its own power level and time, which is beneficial for recipes requiring different cooking intensities.
Defrosting capabilities are robust, offering two main options: defrost by weight and timed defrost. Defrost by weight allows users to input the food's weight in pounds and ounces, and the oven automatically calculates the appropriate defrosting time and power level for thorough defrosting of larger, dense frozen foods. Timed defrost, on the other hand, is designed for quickly defrosting smaller frozen items by allowing users to set a specific defrosting time, with the oven automatically adjusting the power level. The manual provides a detailed defrosting chart with recommended standing times and techniques, such as turning food over and shielding thin parts with aluminum foil to prevent overcooking.
For cooking meat, the "Cook Meat by Weight" feature simplifies the process. Users select the type of meat (beef, lamb, or pork) and its weight, and the oven automatically sets the cooking time and power level. The manual includes a conversion chart for decimal pounds to ounces to assist with accurate weight input. It also advises turning the meat over during cooking and allowing for standing time to ensure thorough cooking.
The oven incorporates several safety precautions to prevent exposure to excessive microwave energy. Users are warned against operating the oven with the door open, tampering with safety interlocks, or using it if the door or seals are damaged. It is also advised not to place objects between the oven front face and the door. The appliance must be properly grounded, and users are cautioned against using corrosive chemicals or vapors inside the oven, as it is designed exclusively for heating and cooking food.
Maintenance of the Sanyo EM-U1000W/B is straightforward. The interior and exterior surfaces should be wiped clean regularly with a soft cloth and a mild detergent solution, then rinsed and dried. It is important to avoid abrasive cleaning powders or rough pads. Spills, especially oil splatters, should be cleaned promptly to prevent them from becoming difficult to remove. Removable parts, such as the glass turntable and turntable roller rest, should be washed in warm water with a mild detergent, rinsed well, and dried. Regular cleaning of the turntable roller rest and cavity bottom is recommended to prevent noise during operation. Special care should be taken to keep the inner door panel and oven front frame free of food or grease buildup for optimal performance and safety. After cleaning the control panel, pressing STOP/RESET is advised to clear any accidentally entered settings. The manual also includes a troubleshooting guide to help users address common issues like the oven not starting, arcing or sparking, or unevenly cooked food, providing possible causes and remedies.
