This section lists which utensils can be used in the microwave, which ones have limited use for short periods, and which ones should not be used in the microwave. 9 RECOMMENDED Microwave browning dish — Use to brown the exterior of small items such as steaks, chops, or pancakes. Follow the directions provided with your browning dish. Microwaveable plastic wrap — Use to retain steam. Leave a small opening for some steam to escape and avoid placing it directly on the food. Paper towels and napkins — Use for short-term heating and covering; these absorb excess moisture and prevent spattering. Do not use recycled paper towels, which may contain metal and could ignite. Glass and glass-ceramic bowls and dishes — Use for heating or cooking. Paper plates and cups — Use for short-term heating at low temperatures. Do not use recycled paper, which may contain metal and could ignite. Wax paper — Use as a cover to prevent spattering. Thermometers — Use only those labeled "Microwave Safe" and follow all directions. Check the food in several places. Conventional thermometers may be used on microwave food once the food has been removed from the oven. Λ LIMITED USE Aluminum foil — Use narrow strips of foil to prevent overcooking of exposed areas. Using too much foil can damage your oven, so be careful. You should keep distance of 1 inch (2.54cm) between aluminum foil and cavity. Ceramic, porcelain, and stoneware— Use these if they are labeled "Microwave Safe". If they are not labeled, test them to make sure they can be used safely. Plastic — Use only if labeled "Microwave Safe". Other plastics can melt. 8 Not Recommended UUTTEENNSSIILLSS GGUUIIDDEE
5 Glass jars and bottles — Regular glass is too thin to be used in a microwave. It can shatter and cause damage and injury. Paper bags — These are a fire hazard, except for popcorn bags that are designed for microwave use. Styrofoam plates and cups — These can melt and leave an unhealthy residue on food. Plastic storage and food containers — Containers such as margarine tubs can melt in the microwave. Metal utensils — These can damage your oven. Remove all metal before cooking. Note: Should you wish to check if a dish is safe for microwaving, place the empty dish in the oven and microwave on HIGH for 30 seconds. A dish which becomes very hot should not be used. Your microwave makes cooking easier than conventional cooking, provided you keep these considerations in mind: STIRRING Stir foods such as casseroles and vegetables while cooking to distribute heat evenly. Food at the outside of the dish absorbs more energy and heats more quickly, so stir from the outside to the center. The oven will turn off when you open the door to stir your food. ARRANGEMENT Arrange unevenly shaped foods, such as chicken pieces or chops, with the thicker, meatier parts toward the outside of the turntable where they receive more microwave energy. To prevent overcooking, place delicate areas, such as asparagus tips, toward the center of the turntable. SHIELDING Shield food with narrow strips of aluminum foil to prevent overcooking. Areas that need shielding include poultry wing tips, the ends of poultry legs, and corners of square baking dishes. Use only small amounts of aluminum foil. Larger amounts can damage your oven. TURNING Turn foods over midway through cooking to expose all parts to microwave energy. This is especially important with large foods such as roasts. STANDING Foods cooked in the microwave build up internal heat and continue to cook for a few minutes after heating stops. Let foods stand to complete cooking, especially foods such as cakes and whole vegetables. Roasts need this time to complete cooking in the center without overcooking the outer areas. All liquids, such as soup or hot chocolate, should be shaken or stirred when cooking is complete. Let liquids stand a moment before serving. When heating baby food, stir well at removal and test the temperature before serving. CCOOOOKKIINNGG TTEECCHHNNIIQQUUEESS
6 ADDING MOISTURE Microwave energy is attracted to water molecules. Food that is uneven in moisture content should be covered or allowed to stand so that the heat disperses evenly. Add a small amount of water to dry food to help it cook.

If you try to completely defrost frozen foods in the microwave oven, uneven defrosting may occur due to the differences in the thickness and shape of the food. Drippings may also result, and HHeellppffuull iinnssttrruuccttiioonnss
10 sometimes a part of the food cooks although other parts still remain frozen. In actual usage of frozen foods, you should not normally completely defrost food, but 70% defrosting in the oven is quite good for the next step of preparing the food for cooking. 2. To defrost evenly, turn over or rearrange the food during defrosting. 3. To defrost fatty meat, heat for a short time in the oven and leave it to stand at room temperature, or heat it intermittently until defrosted. 4. When you defrost a whole chicken, or any frozen food of irregular shape, wrap legs or thin parts with aluminum foil. Otherwise thin parts will be defrosted faster and sometimes cooked before other parts have properly defrosted. For big pieces of meat, wrap the sides with aluminum foil so that they will be uniformly thawed by vertical microwaves only. 5. Ice should be removed at times during defrosting. FOR BEST RESULTS 1. when determining time for particular foods, always figure minimum time and check occasionally during cooking for progress. The microwave oven cooks so quickly, therefore it is easy to overcook your foods. 2. Be careful of the cooking time for small quantities of foods, or foods with low water content. They may burn if cooked too long. 3. Do not use the oven for drying kitchen towels or napkins. They may burn if heated too long. 4. Do not try to boil eggs in the oven. 5. When you cook an egg, be sure to pierce the yolk membrane prior to placing into the oven to prevent the egg bursting. FOR EVEN FINISHED COOKING Open the door and give the dish a half turn, or turn the food over during cooking. This helps to achieve more even cooking. When you cook chicken the legs cook faster than other parts. Wrap the legs with aluminum foil during cooking to reflect the microwave energy in order to create even cooking. IMPORTANT RECOMMENDATIONS Cooking should be done only with the microwave safe vessels; we cannot use steel or any other vessel. 1. Temperature of foods. ---for best results it is recommended that foods conventionally prepared be slightly undercooked when subsequently heated in this oven. 2. Remember that after the heating cycle has been completed, internal food temperatures continue to rise slightly in foods heated in this oven. 3. A major abuse of microwave applications is the category of breads, pastries and pies are drier than insides or fillings, they heat more slowly. Therefore, baked foods should only be heated until the crust is warm to the touch (45℃-55℃). 4. Do not overheat your food: 99% of all food quantity complaints of microwave-heated foods can be
11 traced to overheating. MICROWAVE BASICS A number of factors determine the success of microwave food preparation. They include: 1. Temperature of foods: frozen or refrigerated food items require longer heating times to reach a desired serving temperature than foods from room temperature. 2. Food components: foods high in sugar, salt, fats and moisture content heat faster because these properties attract microwave energy. Denser foods high in protein and fiber, absorb microwave energy slower which means a lengthier heating time. 3. Bulk/volume: the greater the mass of food, the longer it takes to heat. 4. Containers: ceramic, paper, china, Styrofoam, glass and plastic are suitable for use in microwave ovens with the following caution. Heating foods with either high sugar or high fat content should be done only in high temperature resistant containers since these foods get very hot. Using Styrofoam containers for these foods with cause the Styrofoam to warp. Other low temperature restaurant glass or plastic platters may crack or warp under similar conditions. Do not heat food in a sealed container or bag. Foods expand when heated and can break the container or bag. 5. Avoid metal: because it bounces the microwaves, causing uneven heating and sometimes even flashes, which may pit or mar the interior of the oven, the metal container or plate trim. 6. Heated liquids can erupt if not mixed with air. Do not heat liquids in your microwave oven without first stirring. 1. Turn off the oven and remove the power plug from the wall socket before cleaning. 2. Keep the inside of the oven clean. When food splatters or spilled liquids adhere to oven walls, wipe with a damp cloth. Mild detergent may be used if the oven gets very dirty. Avoid the use of spray and other harsh cleaners as they may stain, streak or dull the door surface. 3. The outside surfaces should be cleaned with a damp cloth. To prevent damage to the operating parts inside the oven, water should not be allowed to seep into the ventilation openings. 4. Wipe the window on both sides with a damp cloth to remove any spills or spatters. 5. Do not allow the control panel to become wet. Clean with a soft, damp cloth. When cleaning the control panel, leave oven door open to prevent oven from accidentally turning on. 6. If steam accumulates inside or around the outside of the oven door, wipe with a soft cloth. This may occur when the microwave oven is operated under high humidity conditions. In such case, it is normal. 7. The roller ring and oven floor should be cleaned regularly to avoid excessive noise. Simply wipe the bottom surface of the oven with mild detergent. The roller ring may be washed in mild sudsy water or CCLLEEAANNIINNGG AANNDD CCAARREE
12 dishwasher. When removing the roller ring from cavity floor for cleaning, be sure to replace in the proper position. 8. Remove odors from your oven by combining a cup of water with the juice and skin of one lemon in a deep microwaveable bowl, microwave for 5 minutes. Wipe thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth. 9. When it becomes necessary to replace the oven light, please consult a dealer to have it replaced. 10. The oven should be cleaned regularly and any food deposits removed. 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. 11. Please do not dispose this appliance into the domestic rubbish bin, it should be disposed to the particular disposal center provided by the municipalities.
