15CARE OF YOUR MICROWAVE OVENTurn the oven off before cleaning.Keep the inside of the oven clean. When foodspatters or spilled liquids adhere to ovenwalls, wipe with a damp cloth. Mild detergentmay be used if the oven gets very dirty. Theuse of harsh detergent or abrasives is notrecommended.The outside oven surface should be cleanedwith soap and water, rinsed and dried with asoft cloth. To prevent damage to the operatingparts inside the oven, water should not beallowed to seep into the ventilation openings.If the Control Panel becomes wet, clean witha soft, dry cloth. Do not use harsh detergentsor abrasives on Control Panel.If steam accumulates inside or around theoutside of the oven door, wipe with a softcloth. This may occur when the microwaveoven is operated under high humidityconditions and in no way indicatesmalfunction of the unit.It is occasionally necessary to remove theglass tray for cleaning. Wash the tray in warmsudsy water or in a dishwasher.The roller guide and oven cavity floor shouldbe cleaned regularly to avoid excessive noise. Simply wipe the bottom surface of the ovenwith mild detergent water or window cleanerand dry. The roller guide may be washed inmild sudsy water.1234567ROLLER GUIDEGlass Tray Roller GuideThe ROLLER GUIDE and oven floor shouldbe cleaned frequently to prevent excessivenoise.The ROLLER GUIDE MUST ALWAYS beused for cooking together with the Glass Tray.12GLASS TRAYDO NOT operate the oven without the Glass Trayin place.DO NOT use any other Glass Tray with this oven.If Glass Tray is hot, ALLOW TO COOL beforecleaning or placing it in water.DO NOT cook directly on the Glass Tray.(Except for popcorn)1234
16* Q :I accidentally ran my microwave ovenwithout any food in it. Is it damaged?* A : Running the oven empty for a short time willnot damage the oven. However, it is notrecommended.* Q :Can the oven be used with the glass trayor roller guide removed?* A : No. Both the glass tray and roller guide mustalways be used in the oven before cooking.* Q :Can I open the door when the oven isoperating?* A : The door can be opened anytime during thecooking operation. Then microwave energywill be instantly switched off and the timesetting will maintain until the door is closed.* Q :Why do I have moisture in my microwaveoven after cooking?* A : The moisture on the side of your microwaveoven is normal. It is caused by steam fromcooking food hitting the cool oven surface.* Q :Does microwave energy pass throughthe viewing screen in the door?* A : No. The metal screen bounces back theenergy to the oven cavity. The holes aremade to allow light to pass through. They donot let microwave energy pass through.* Q : Why do eggs sometimes pop?* A : When baking or poaching eggs, the yolkmay pop due to steam build-up inside theyolk membrane. To prevent this, simplypierce the yolk with a toothpick beforecooking. Never cook eggs without piercingtheir shells.* Q : Why this standing time recommendedafter the cooking operation has beencompleted?* A : Standing time is very important.With microwave cooking, the heat is in thefood, not in the oven. Many foods build upenough internal heat to allow the cookingprocess to continue, even after the food isremoved from the oven. Standing time forjoints of meat, large vegetables and cakes isto allow the inside to cook completely,without overcooking the outside.* Q :What does “standing time” mean?* A : “Standing time” means that food should beremoved from the oven and covered foradditional time to allow it to finish cooking.This frees the oven for other cooking.* Q : Why does my oven not always cook asfast as the microwave cooking guidesays?* A : Check your cooking guide again, to makesure you’ve followed directions exactly ; andto see what might cause variations incooking time. Cooking guide times and heatsettings are suggestions, to help preventover-cooking... the most common problem ingetting used to a microwave oven.Variations in the size, shape and weightsand dimensions could require longer cookingtime. Use your own judgement along withthe cooking guide suggestions to checkwhether the food has been properly cookedjust as you would do with a conventionalcooker.* Q : Will the microwave oven be damaged if itoperates while empty?* A : Yes. Never run it empty.* Q : Can I operate my microwave ovenwithout the turntable or turn the turntableover to hold a large dish?* A : No. If you remove or turn over the turntable,you will get poor cooking results. Dishesused in your oven must fit on the turntable.* Q : Is it normal for the turntable to turn ineither direction?* A : Yes. The turntable rotates clockwise orcounterclockwise, depending on the rotationof the motor when the cooking cycle begins.* Q : Can I pop popcorn in my microwaveoven?

18COOKING INSTRUCTIONSUtensil GuideOnly 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, withoutbeing reflected or absorbed by the dish used. Care must therefore be taken choosing the utensil. If theutensil is marked microwave-safe, you do not need to worry. The following table lists various of utensiland indicates whether and how they should be used in a microwave oven.●: Recommended use▲ : Limited Use✕: Not Recommended Utensil Safe CommentsAluminium foilCrust plateChina and earthenwareDisposable polyester cardboard dishesFast-food packaging• Polystyrene cups containers• Paper bags or newspaper• Recycled paper or metal trimsGlassware• Oven-to-table ware• Fine glassware• Glass jarsMetal• Dishes• Freezer bag twist tiesPaper• Plates, cups, napkins and Kitchen paper• Recycled paperPlastic• Containers• Cling film• Freezer bagsWax or grease-proof paperCan be used in small quantities to protect areas againstovercooking. Arcing can occur if the foil is too close tothe oven wall or if too much foil is used.Do not preheat for more than 8minutes.Porcelain, pottery, glazed earthenware and bone chinaare usually suitable, unless deco-rated with a metal trim.Some frozen foods are packaged in these dishes.Can be used to warm food. Overheating may cause thepolystyrene to melt.May catch fire.May cause arcing.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.May cause arcing or fire.For short cooking times and warming. Also to absorbexcess moisture.May cause arcing.Particularly if heat-resistant thermoplastic. Some otherplastics may warp or discolour at high temperatures. Donot use Melamine plastic.Can be used to retain moisture. Should not touch thefood. Take care when removing the film as hot steam willescape.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.▲●●●●✕✕●●●✕✕●✕●●▲●
19USE YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN SAFELYGeneral UseDo not attempt to defeat or tamper with safetyinterlocks.Do not place any object between the oven front frameand the door or allow residue to build up on sealingsurfaces. Wipe with a mild detergent, rinse and dry.Never use abrasive powders or pads.Do not subject the oven door to strain or weight suchas a child hanging on an open door.This could cause the oven to fall forward resulting ininjury to you and damage to the oven.Do not operate the oven if door seals or sealingsurfaces are damaged; or if door is bent; or if hingesare loose or broken.Do not operate the oven empty. This will damage theoven.Do not attempt to dry clothes, newspapers or othermaterials in the oven. They may catch on fire.Do not use recycled paper products as they maycontain 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 dangerousto consume.Always use the minimum recipe cooking time. It isbetter to undercook rather than overcook foods. Undercooked foods can be returned to the oven formore cooking. If food is overcooked, nothing can bedone.Heat small quantities of food or foods with lowmoisture carefully. These can quickly dry out, burn orcatch on fire.Do not heat eggs in the shell. Pressure may build upand eggs can explode.Potatoes, apples, egg yolks and sausages areexamples of food with non-porous skins.These must be pierced before cooking to preventbursting.Do not attempt to deep fat fry in your microwave oven.Always allow a starding time of at least 20 secondsafter the oven has been switched off to allao thetemperature to even out, stir during heating, ifnecessary, and ALWAYS stir after heating. To preventeruptive boiling and possible scalding, you should puta spoon or glass stick into the beverages and stirbefore, during and after heating.Do not leave the oven unattended while popping corn.Do not pop corn in a paper bag unless it is thecommercially prepared Microwave Popcorn product.The kernels can overheat and ignite a brown paperbag.Do not put packaged Microwave Popcorn bagsdirectly on the oven tray. Place the package on amicrowave safe glass or ceramic plate to avoidoverheating and cracking the oven tray.Do not exceed the Microwave Popcorn manufacturerssuggested popping time. Longer popping does not yield more popcorn but itcan result in scorch, burn of fire. Remember, thePopcorn bag and tray can be too hot to handle.Remove with caution and use pot holders.ARCINGIf you see arcing, turn the timer knob the point “OFF” and correct the problem.Arcing is the microwave term for sparks in theoven.Arcing is caused by:• Metal or foil touching the side of the oven.• Foil not molded to food (upturned edges act likeantennas).• Metal, such as twist-ties, poultry pins, or goldrimmed dishes, in the microwave.• Recycled paper towels containing small metalpieces being used in the microwave.
20MICROWAVING 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 and manmadesources. Manmade sources include radar, radio, television, telecommunication links and car phones.CONVERSION CHARTSIn a microwave oven,electricity is convertedinto microwave by theMAGNETRON.REFLECTION The microwaves bounceoff the metal walls andthe metal door 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.

21STANDING TIMEDense foods e.g. meat, jacket potatoes andcakes, require standing time(inside or outside ofthe oven) after cooking, to allow heat to finishconducting to cook the center completely. Wrapmeat joints and jacket potatoes in aluminium foilwhile standing. Meat joints need approx. 10-15minutes, jacket potatoes 5 minutes. Other foodssuch as plated meal, vegetables, fish etc require2-5 minutes standing. After defrosting food,standing time should also be allowed. If food isnot cooked after standing time, return to the ovenand cook for additional time.MOISTURE CONTENTMany fresh foods e.g. vegetables and fruit, varyin their moisture content throughout the season,particularly jacket potatoes. For this reasoncooking times may have to be adjusted. Dryingredients e.g. rice, pasta, can dry out duringstorage so cooking times 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 excesssteam to escape. Always take care whenremoving cling film from a dish as the build-up ofsteam will be very 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 thanfood at 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 thecooking time.ARRANGINGIndividual foods e.g. chicken portions or chops,should be placed on a dish so that the thickerparts are towards the outside.QUANTITYSmall quantities cook faster than large quantities,also small meals will reheat more quickly thanlarge portions.PIERCINGThe skin or membrane on some foods will causesteam to build up during cooking. These foodsmust be pierced or a strip of skin should bepeeled off before cooking to allow the steam toescape. Eggs, potatoes, apples, sausages etc,will all need to be pierced before cooking. DONOT ATTEMPT TO BOIL EGGS IN THEIRSHELLS.COVERINGCover foods with microwave cling film or a lid.Cover fish, vegetables, casseroles, soups. Do notcover cakes, sauces, jacket potatoes or pastryitems.COOKING TECHNIQUES
22▶Do not defrost covered meat. Covering might allowcooking to take place. Always remove outer wrap andtray. Use only containers that are microwave-safe.▶Begin defrosting whole poultry breast-side-down.Begin defrosting roasts fat-side-down.▶The shape of the package alters the defrosting time.Shallow rectangular shapes defrost more quickly thana deep block.▶After 1/3of the defrost time has elapsed, check thefood. Toy may wish to turn over, break apart,rearrange or remove thawed portions of the food.▶During defrost, the oven will prompt you to turn theover. At this point, open oven door and check thefood. Follow the techniques listed below for optimumdefrost results.Then, close oven door, touch the START pad tocomplete defrosting.▶When defrosted, food should be cool, but softened inall areas. If still slightly icy, return to microwave ovenvery briefly, or let stand a few minutes. Afterdefrosting, allow food to stand 5-60 minutes if thereare any icy areas.Poultry and fish may be placed under running coolwater until defrosted➪Turn over : Roast, ribs, whole poultry, turkey breasts,hot dogs, sausages, steaks, or chops.➪Rearrange : Break apart or separate steaks, chops,hamburger patties, ground meat, chicken or seafoodpieces, chunks of meat such as stew beef.➪Shield : Use small strips of aluminum foil to protectthin areas or edges of unevenly shaped foods such aschicken wings. To prevent arching, do not allow foil tocome within 1-inch of oven walls or door.➪Remove : To prevent cooking, thawed portions shouldbe removed from the oven at this point.
