electrical connection procedures.
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.

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.

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.

DEFROSTING FROZEN FOODS
1. 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

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

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.
