UTENSILS TEST Place the utensil in question next to a glass measure filled with water, in the microwave oven. Microwave at high 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 the microwave oven. You probably have many items on hand in your kitchen right now that can be used as cooking equipment in your microwave oven. Read through the following checklist. COOKING UTENSILS Recommended Use •Glass and glass-ceramic bowls and Dishes - Use for heating or cooking. • Microwave browning dish - Use to brown the exterior of small items such as steaks, chops, or pancakes. Follow the directions provided with you 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. • Wax paper - Use as a cover to prevent spattering. • Paper towels, and napkins - Use for short term heating and covering; they absorb excess moisture and prevent 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 several places. 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 steam to 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 - Do not use foil. Using foil can damage your oven. • 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. 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 from time to time when cooking or reheating food in disposable containers of plastic, paper or other combustible material. 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. 14 MICROWAVING PRINCIPLES Microwave energy has been used in this country to cook and reheat food since early experiments with RADAR in World War ll. Microwaves are present in the atmosphere all the time, both naturally and manmade sources. Manmade sources include radar, radio, television, telecommunication links and car HOW MICROWAVES COOK FOOD ▲ In a microwave oven, electricity is converted into microwave by the MAGNETRON. Then they pass through the cooking containers to be absorbed by the water molecules in the food, all foods contain water to a more or lesser extent. ▲ ▲ REFLECTION TRANSMISSION ABSORPTION The microwaves bounce off the metal walls and the metal door screen. The microwaves cause the water molecules to vibrate which causes FRICTION, i.e. HEAT. This heat then cooks the food. Microwaves are also attracted to fat and sugar particles, and foods high in these will cook more quickly. Microwaves can only penetrate to a depth of 11/2 - 2 inches(4-5cm) and as heat spreads through the food by conduction, just as in a traditional oven, the food cooks from the outside inwards.

Wrap meat joints and jacket potatoes in aluminium foil while standing. Meat joints need approx. 10-15 minutes, jacket potatoes 5 minutes. Other foods such as plated meal, vegetables, fish etc require 2-5 minutes standing. After defrosting food, standing time should also be allowed. If food is not cooked after standing time, return to the oven and cook for additional time. The colder the food, the longer it takes to heat up. Food from a fridge takes longer to reheat than food at room temperature. LIQUIDS All liquids must be stirred before and during heating. Water especially must be stirred before and during heating, to avoid eruption. Do not heat liquids that have previously been boiled. DO NOT OVERHEAT. TURNING & STIRRING Some foods require stirring during cooking. Meat and poultry should be turned after half the cooking time. MOISTURE CONTENT Many fresh foods e.g. vegetables and fruit, vary in their moisture content throughout the season, particularly jacket potatoes. For this reason cooking times may have to be adjusted. Dry ingredients e.g. rice, pasta, can dry out during storage so cooking times may differ. ARRANGING Individual foods e.g. chicken portions or chops, should be placed on a dish so that the thicker parts are towards the outside. QUANTITY DENSITY Small quantities cook faster than large quantities, also small meals will reheat more quickly than large portions. Porous airy foods heat more quickly than dense heavy foods. CLING FILM PIERCING Cling film helps keep the food moist and the trapped steam assists in speeding up cooking times. Pierce before cooking to allow excess steam to escape. Always take care when removing cling film from a dish as the build-up of steam will be very hot. The skin or membrane on some foods will cause steam to build up during cooking. These foods must be pierced or a strip of skin should be peeled off before cooking to allow the steam to escape. Eggs, potatoes, apples, sausages etc, will all need to be pierced before cooking. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO BOIL EGGS IN THEIR SHELLS. SHAPE Even shapes cook evenly. Food cooks better by microwave when in a round container rather than square. COVERING Cover foods with microwave cling film or a lid. Cover fish, vegetables, casseroles, soups. Do not cover cakes, sauces, jacket potatoes or pastry items. SPACING Foods cook more quickly and evenly if spaced apart. NEVER pile foods on top of each other. 16 DEFROSTING GUIDE GENERAL INFORMATION ➪ Put the food on a microwave rack (roasts, bone-in pieces) or in a microwave casserole (small pieces such as cubes or strips) or weigh at home on a kitchen scale. Round number to the nearest tenth of a pound and choose that number with each item pads. ➪ The shape of food items, especially larger ones, will vary affect the way defrost. Always check the status after the standing time. Fish, seafood and poultry should still be somewhat icy in the center the held under cold running water to finish defrosting. If more time is needed, use DEFROST by time to add time in small increments. ➪ Halfway through the defrosting process, a series of beeps will indicate that it is time to change the position of the item being defrosted. The includes turning over or rotating the item, separating defrosted pieces or sections, or shielding. ➪ Shielding means to use a 2-inch strip of aluminum foil to protect thinner or unevenly shaped part from beginning to cook. Microwave energy will not penetrate the foil. Some rules apply to the use of foil: Do not let the foil pieces touch each other or the sides of the microwave oven. Be sure that all ends are touched under and lie flat to the food. Remember to adjust foil when a item is turned over and cover with wax paper. ➪ To prepare food for freezer storage(and later defrosting), wrap tightly in moisture proof packaging. If using freezer plastic bags, be sure to let all the air out to prevent freezer bump on the food. Package so that food is as evenly shaped as possible ease in defrosting 17 DEFROSTING CHART Item and Weight Defrosting Time Standing Time BEEF Mineed beef 454g (1 lb.) 5-7 min. 5-7 min.

CARE OF YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN Turn the oven off before cleaning. The outside oven surface should be cleaned with soap and water, rinsed and dried with a soft cloth. To prevent damage 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 Control Panel. 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 and in no way indicates malfunction of the unit. Keep the inside of the oven clean. When food spatters or spilled liquids adhere to oven walls, plate tray, stirrer cover and inlet cover wipe with a damp cloth. Mild detergent may be used if the oven gets very dirty. The use of harsh detergent or abrasives is not recommended. IMPORTANT CAUTIONS 1. 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. 22 USE YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN SAFELY General Use Do 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 loose or 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. Food Never 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 kernels can overheat and ignite a brown paper bag. Do not put packaged Microwave Popcorn bags directly on the oven tray. Place the package on a microwave safe 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 yield more popcorn but it can result in scorch, burn of fire. Remember, the Popcorn bag and tray can be too hot to handle. Remove with caution and use pot holders. ARCING If 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. 23 BEFORE YOU CALL FOR SERVICE Refer 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. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO SERVICE THE OVEN YOURSELF! 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 instantly switched 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 food heating 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 without 24 QUESTIONS 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 enough internal 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 to allow 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 what might cause variations in cooking time. Cooking guide times and heat settings are suggestions, to help 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. Use your own judgement along with the cooking guide suggestions to check whether the food has been properly 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 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 preset POPCORN pad. Do not use regular paper bags. Use the “listening test” by stopping the oven as soon as the popping slows to a “pop” every 1 or 2 seconds. Do not repop unpopped kernels. Do not pop popcorn in glass cookware. 25 Warranty Application New, unused Turbo Air Commercial microwave ovens purchased in the United States of America are warranted against manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship as follows: Warranty Period 1.
