Leave a small opening for some steam to escape andavoid placing it directly on the food.• Wax paper - Use as a cover to prevent spattering.• Paper towels, and napkins - Use for short term heating and covering; they absorb excess moisture andprevent spattering. Do not use recycled paper towels, which may contain metal and can eatch fire.• Thermometers - Use only those labeled “Microwave Safe” and follow all directions. Check the food in severalplaces. Conventional thermometers may be used once the food has been removed from the oven.• Microwave cling film, microwave roasting bags - Microwave cling film and bags must be vented for steamto escape, pierce in 4~5 places. Do not use plastic or metal ties as they may melt or catch fire due to electrical‘arcing’.Limited Use• Aluminum foil - Use narrow strips of foil to prevent overcooking of exposed areas. Using too much toil candamage your oven, so be careful.• Ceramic, porcelain, and stoneware - Use these if they are labeled “Microwave Safe.” If they are notlabeled, test them to make sure they can be used safely. Never use dishes with metalic trim.• Plastic - Use only if labeled “Microwave Safe.” Other plastics can melt.• Thin plastic, paper, straw and wooden containers - Always attend the oven closely. Look at the oven fromtime to time when cooking or reheating food in disposable containers of plastic, paper or other combustiblematerial. Only use for warming food. Pay special attention as over-heating may cause a fire in your oven.Not Recommended• Glass jars and bottles - Regular glass is too thin to be used in a microwave, and can shatter.• 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.COOKING INSTRUCTIONSUtensils should be checked to ensure that they are suitable for use in microwave ovens.UTENSILS TESTPlace the utensil in question next to a glass measure filled with water, in the microwave oven. Microwave athigh power for 1-2 minutes. If the water heats up, but the utensil remains cool, the utensil is microwave-safe.However if the utensil becomes warm, microwaves are being absorbed by the utensil and it should not be in themicrowave oven. You probably have many items on hand in your kitchen right now that can be used as cookingequipment in your microwave oven. Read through the following checklist.
9CARE OF YOUR MICROWAVE OVENTurn the oven off before cleaning.Keep the inside of the oven clean. When food spatters or spilled liquids adhere to oven walls, plate tray, stirrercover and inlet cover wipe with a damp cloth. Mild detergent may be used if the oven gets very dirty. The use ofharsh detergent or abrasives is not recommended.The outside oven surface should be cleaned with soap and water, rinsed and dried with a soft cloth. To preventdamage to the operating parts inside the oven, water should not be allowed to seep into the ventilation openings.If the Control Panel becomes wet, clean with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use harsh detergents or abrasives on ControlPanel.If steam accumulates inside or around the outside of the oven door, wipe with a soft cloth. This may occur whenthe microwave oven is operated under high humidity conditions and in no way indicates malfunction of the unit.12345IMPORTANT CAUTIONS1. Do not operate after removed food.2. Do not operate the oven without stirrer cover in place.3. Do not remove the stirrer cover and plate tray.
10MICROWAVING PRINCIPLESMicrowave energy has been used in this country to cook and reheat food since early experiments withRADAR in World War ll. Microwaves are present in the atmosphere all the time, both naturally andmanmade sources. Manmade sources include radar, radio, television, telecommunication links and carphones.CONVERSION CHARTSIn a microwave oven,electricity isconverted intomicrowave by theMAGNETRON.REFLECTION The microwavesbounce off the metalwalls and the metaldoor screen.TRANSMISSION Then they pass throughthe cooking containers tobe absorbed by the watermolecules in the food, allfoods contain water to amore or lesser extent.ABSORPTIONThe microwaves cause the water molecules tovibrate which causes FRICTION, i.e. HEAT. Thisheat then cooks the food. Microwaves are alsoattracted to fat and sugar particles, and foods highin these will cook more quickly. Microwaves canonly penetrate to a depth of 11/2 - 2 inches(4-5cm)and as heat spreads through the food byconduction, just as in a traditional oven, the foodcooks from the outside inwards.WEIGHT MEASURES15 g 1/2oz.25 g 1 oz.50 g 2 oz.100 g 4 oz.175 g 6 oz.225 g 8 oz.450 g 1 lb.HOW MICROWAVES COOK FOOD▲▲▲VOLUME MEASURES30 ml 1 fl.oz.100 ml 3 fl.oz.150 ml 5 fl.oz.

11STANDING TIMEDense foods e.g. meat, jacket potatoes and cakes,require standing time(inside or outside of the oven)after cooking, to allow heat to finish conducting tocook the center completely. Wrap meat joints andjacket potatoes in aluminium foil while standing.Meat joints need approx. 10-15 minutes, jacketpotatoes 5 minutes. Other foods such as platedmeal, vegetables, fish etc require 2-5 minutesstanding. After defrosting food, standing timeshould also be allowed. If food is not cooked afterstanding time, return to the oven and cook foradditional time.MOISTURE CONTENTMany fresh foods e.g. vegetables and fruit, vary intheir moisture content throughout the season,particularly jacket potatoes. For this reason cookingtimes may have to be adjusted. Dry ingredients e.g.rice, pasta, can dry out during storage so cookingtimes may differ.DENSITYPorous airy foods heat more quickly than denseheavy foods.CLING FILMCling film helps keep the food moist and thetrapped steam assists in speeding up cookingtimes. Pierce before cooking to allow excess steamto escape. Always take care when removing clingfilm from a dish as the build-up of steam will bevery hot.SHAPEEven shapes cook evenly. Food cooks better bymicrowave when in a round container rather thansquare.SPACINGFoods cook more quickly and evenly if spacedapart. NEVER pile foods on top of each other.STARTING TEMPERATUREThe colder the food, the longer it takes to heat up.Food from a fridge takes longer to reheat than foodat room temperature.LIQUIDSAll liquids must be stirred before and duringheating. Water especially must be stirred beforeand during heating, to avoid eruption. Do not heatliquids that have previously been boiled. DO NOTOVERHEAT.TURNING & STIRRINGSome foods require stirring during cooking. Meatand poultry should be turned after half the cookingtime.ARRANGINGIndividual foods e.g. chicken portions or chops,should be placed on a dish so that the thicker partsare towards the outside.QUANTITYSmall quantities cook faster than large quantities,also small meals will reheat more quickly than largeportions.PIERCINGThe skin or membrane on some foods will causesteam to build up during cooking. These foodsmust be pierced or a strip of skin should be peeledoff before cooking to allow the steam to escape.Eggs, potatoes, apples, sausages etc, will all needto be pierced before cooking. DO NOT ATTEMPTTO BOIL EGGS IN THEIR SHELLS.COVERINGCover foods with microwave cling film or a lid.Cover fish, vegetables, casseroles, soups. Do notcover cakes, sauces, jacket potatoes or pastryitems.COOKING TECHNIQUES
12USE YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN SAFELYGeneral UseDo not attempt to defeat or tamper with safety interlocks.Do not place any object between the oven front frame and the door or allow residue to build up on sealing surfaces. Wipe with a mild detergent, rinse and dry. Never use abrasive powders or pads.Do not subject the oven door to strain or weight such as a child hanging on an open door.This could cause the oven to fall forward resulting in injury to you and damage to the oven.Do not operate the oven if door seals or sealing surfaces are damaged; or if door is bent; or if hinges are looseor broken.Do not operate the oven empty. This will damage the oven.Do not attempt to dry clothes, newspapers or other materials in the oven. They may catch on fire.Do not use recycled paper products as they may contain impurities which may cause sparks or fires.Do not hit or strike the control panel with hard objects. This can damage the oven.FoodNever use your microwave oven for home canning. The oven is not designed for proper home canning.Improperly canned food may spoil and be dangerous to consume.Always use the minimum recipe cooking time. It is better to undercook rather than overcook foods. Undercooked foods can be returned to the oven for more cooking. If food is overcooked, nothing can be done.Heat small quantities of food or foods with low moisture carefully. These can quickly dry out, burn or catch on fire.Do not heat eggs in the shell. Pressure may build up and eggs can explode.Potatoes, apples, egg yolks and sausages are examples of food with non-porous skins.These must be pierced before cooking to prevent bursting.Do not attempt to deep fat fry in your microwave oven.Always stir liquids before heating. Heated liquids can erupt, if not mixed with air.Do not leave the oven unattended while popping corn.Do not pop corn in a paper bag unless it is the commercially prepared Microwave Popcorn product. The kernelscan overheat and ignite a brown paper bag.Do not put packaged Microwave Popcorn bags directly on the oven tray. Place the package on a microwavesafe glass or ceramic plate to avoid overheating and cracking the oven tray.Do not exceed the Microwave Popcorn manufacturers' suggested popping time. Longer popping does not yieldmore popcorn but it can result in scorch, burn of fire. Remember, the Popcorn bag and tray can be too hot tohandle. Remove with caution and use pot holders.ARCINGIf you see arcing, open the door and correct the problem.Arcing is the microwave term for sparks in the oven.Arcing is caused by:• Metal or foil touching the side of the oven.• Foil not molded to food (upturned edges act like antennas).• Metal, such as twist-ties, poultry pins, or gold rimmed dishes, in the microwave.• Recycled paper towels containing small metal pieces being used in the microwave.

14BEFORE YOU CALL FOR SERVICERefer to following checklist, you may prevent an unnecessary service call.* The oven doesn't work;1. Check that the power cord is securely plugged in.2. Check that the door firmly closed.3. Check that the cooking time is set.4. Check for a blown circuit fuse or tripped main circuit breaker in your house.* Sparking in the cavity;1. Check that utensils are metal containers or dishes with metal trim.2. Check that metal skewers touch the interior walls.If there is still a problem, contact the service station.A list of these stations is included in the oven.QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS* Q : I accidentally ran my microwave oven without any food in it. Is it damaged?* A : Running the oven empty for a short time will not damage the oven. However, it is not recommended.* Q : Can the oven be used with the glass tray or roller guide removed?* A : No. Both the glass tray and roller guide must always be used in the oven before cooking.* Q : Can I open the door when the oven is operating?* A : The door can be opened anytime during the cooking operation. Then microwave energy will be instantlyswitched off and the time setting will maintain until the door is closed and START is touched.* Q : Why do I have moisture in my microwave oven after cooking?* A : The moisture on the side of your microwave oven is normal. It is caused by steam form cooking foodheating the cool oven surface.* Q : Dose microwave energy pass through the viewing screen in the door?* A : No. The metal screen bounces back the energy to the oven cavity. The holes are made to allow light to pass through. They do not let microwave energy pass through.* 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 withoutpiercing their shells.DO NOT ATTEMPT TO SERVICE THE OVEN YOURSELF!
15QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS (continued)* 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. Many foods build up enoughinternal heat to allow the cooking process to continue, even after the food is removed from the oven.Standing time for joints of meat, large vegetables and cakes allows the inside to cook completely,without overcooking the outside.* Q : What does “standing time” mean?* A : “Standing time” means that food should be removed from the oven and covered for additional time toallow it to finish cooking. This frees the oven for other cooking.* 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 whatmight cause variations in cooking time. Cooking guide times and heat settings are suggestions, tohelp 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. Useyour own judgement along with the cooking guide suggestions to check whether the food has beenproperly cooked just as you would do with a conventional cooker.* Q : Will the microwave oven be damaged if it operates while empty?* A : Yes. Never run it empty.* Q : Can I operate my microwave oven without the turntable or turn the turntable over to hold a large dish?* A : No. If you remove or turn over the turntable, you will get poor cooking results. Dishes used in youroven must fit on the turntable.* Q : Is it normal for the turntable to turn in either direction?* A : Yes. The turntable rotates clockwise or counterclockwise, depending on the rotation of the motorwhen the cooking cycle begins.* Q : Can I pop popcorn in my microwave oven? How do I get the best results?* A : Yes. Pop packaged microwave popcorn following manufactures guidelines or use the presetPOPCORN pad. Do not use regular paper bags. Use the “listening test” by stopping the oven as soonas the popping slows to a “pop” every 1 or 2 seconds. Do not repop unpopped kernels. Do not poppopcorn in glass cookware.
