CARE OF YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN 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. Turn the oven off before cleaning. Keep the inside of the oven clean. When food spatters or spilled liquids adhere to oven walls, 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. It is occasionally necessary to remove the glass tray for cleaning. Wash the tray in warm sudsy water or in a dishwasher. The roller guide and oven cavity floor should be cleaned regularly to avoid excessive noise. Simply wipe the bottom surface of the oven with mild detergent water or window cleaner and dry. The roller guide may be washed in mild sudsy water. 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. ROLLER GUIDE Glass Tray The ROLLER GUIDE and oven floor should be cleaned frequently to prevent excessive noise. The ROLLER GUIDE MUST ALWAYS be used for cooking together with the Glass Tray. GLASS TRAY DO NOT operate the oven without the Glass Tray in place. DO NOT use any other Glass Tray with this oven. If Glass Tray is hot, ALLOW TO COOL before cleaning or placing it in water. DO NOT cook directly on the Glass Tray. (Except for popcorn) Roller Guide BEFORE YOU CALL FOR SERVICE Refer to following checklist, you may prevent an unnecessary service call. * Sparking in the cavity : 1. Check utensils. Metal containers or dishes with metal trim should not be used. 2. Check that metal skewers or foil does not touch the interior walls. * The oven doesn’t work : 1. Check that the power cord is securely plugged in. 2. Check that the door is 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. If there is still a problem, contact the service station. A list of these stations is included in the oven. CARE AND CLEANING 4. The oven should not be adjusted or repaired by anyone except a properly competent service technician. Although your oven is provided with safety features, it is important to observe the following: 1. It is important not to defeat or tamper with safety interlocks. 5. The oven should be cleaned regularly and any food deposits removed; 2. Do not place any object between the oven front face and the door or allow residue to accumulate on sealing surfaces. Wipe the sealing area frequently with a mild detergent, rinse and dry. Never use abrasive powders or pads. 6. 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; 3. When opened, the door must not be subjected to strain, for example, a child hanging on an opened door or any load could cause the oven to fall forward to cause injury and also damage to the door. Do not operate the oven if it is damaged, until it has been repaired by a competent service technician. It is particularly important that the oven closes properly and that there is no damage to the: i) Door(bent) ii) Hinges and Hookes(broken or loosened) iii) Door seals and sealing surfaces. 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 : 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 : 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 : 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 : 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. * 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 from cooking food hitting the cool oven surface. * Q : Will the microwave oven be damaged if it operates while empty? * A : Yes. Never run it empty. * Q : Does 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 : 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 your oven must fit on the turntable. * 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 piercing their shells. * 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 motor when the cooking cycle begins. * Q : Why this 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 is to allow the inside to cook completely, without overcooking the outside. * Q : Can I pop popcorn in my microwave oven? How do I get the best results? * A : Yes. Pop packaged microwave popcorn following manufacture’s guidelines. 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. 10 COOKING INSTRUCTIONS Utensil Guide Only use utensils that are suitable for use in microwave ovens. To cook food in the microwave oven, the microwaves must be able to penetrate the food, without being reflected or absorbed by the dish used. Care must therefore be taken choosing the utensil. If the utensil is marked microwave-safe, you do not need to worry. The following table lists various of utensil and indicates whether and how they should be used in a microwave oven. Utensil Safe Comments Aluminium foil ▲ Can be used in small quantities to protect areas against overcooking. Arcing can occur if the foil is too close to the oven wall or if too much foil is used. Crust plate ● Do not preheat for more than 8minutes. China and earthenware ● Porcelain, pottery, glazed earthenware and bone china are usually suitable, unless deco-rated with a metal trim. Disposable polyester cardboard dishes ● Some frozen foods are packaged in these dishes. Fast-food packaging • Polystyrene cups containers ● • Paper bags or newspaper • Recycled paper or metal trims ✕ ✕ Can be used to warm food. Overheating may cause the polystyrene to melt. May catch fire. May cause arcing. Glassware • Oven-to-table ware • Fine glassware ● ● • Glass jars ● Metal • Dishes • Freezer bag twist ties ✕ ✕ May cause arcing or fire. ● For short cooking times and warming. Also to absorb excess moisture. May cause arcing. Paper • Plates, cups, napkins and Kitchen paper • Recycled paper ✕ Plastic • Containers ● • Cling film ● • Freezer bags ▲ Wax or grease-proof paper ● Can be used, unless decorated with a metal trim. Can be used to warm foods or liquids. Delicate glass may break or crack if heated suddenly. Must remove the lid. Suitable for warming only. Particularly if heat-resistant thermoplastic. Some other plastics may warp or discolour at high temperatures. Do not use Melamine plastic. Can be used to retain moisture. Should not touch the food. Take care when removing the film as hot steam will escape. Only if boilable or oven-proof. Should not be airtight. Prick with a fork, if necessary. Can be used to retain moisture and prevent spattering. ● : Recommended use ▲ : Limited Use ✕ : Not Recommended 11 USE YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN SAFELY General Use 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. 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. Food temperature to even out, stir during heating, if necessary, and ALWAYS stir after heating. To prevent eruptive boiling and possible scalding, you should put a spoon or glass stick into the beverages and stir before, during and after heating. 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. 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 allow a standing time of at least 20 seconds after the oven has been switched off to allow the ARCING If you see arcing, turn the knob timer the point “0” and correct the problem. Arcing is the microwave term for sparks in the oven. Arcing is caused by: • 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. • Metal or foil touching the side of the oven. • Foil not molded to food (upturned edges act like antennas). 12 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 phones. HOW MICROWAVES COOK FOOD Oven Cavity Turntable Magnetron Waveguide TRANSMISSION 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 ABSORPTION The microwaves bounce off the metal walls and the metal door screen. Microwave Water Molecule Absorption Vibration 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. MOISTURE CONTENT Some foods require stirring during cooking. Meat and poultry should be turned after half the cooking time. 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 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. DENSITY QUANTITY Porous airy foods heat more quickly than dense heavy foods. Small quantities cook faster than large quantities, also small meals will reheat more quickly than large portions. 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. 14 DEFROSTING CHART Item & Weight Defrosting Time Standing Time Special Techniques BEEF Mized beef 1 lb./450g 8-10 min. 15-20 min.
