INTRODUCTION TO MICROWAVE
COOKING
� Microwaves are invisible waves of electromagnetic energy similar to radio waves. Instead of being converted to sound as in a radio or mobile phones, it is converted into a heat source which heats food from the inside.
� Microwaves cook because food molecules of water, fat and sugar react to the energy provided by the microwaves. That energy is absorbed by the food causing the molecules to vibrate quickly. This movement creates friction which causes the food to heat up and therefore cook.
� The energy in a microwave is distributed evenly throughout the cavity.
� Microwave cooking is considered the 'cool' cooking method as only the food gets hot and surrounding air stays cool.
� Microwaves are safe and can be economical.
� Microwave ovens don't need preheating therefore the kitchen stays cooler. Cooking is cleaner with less odours and washing up is reduced.
� Microwave ovens cook foods rapidly. Some foods are better cooked in a microwave oven as they retain more flavour, texture and goodness, such plain fish fillets, soft fruit, vegetables and fat free cakes.
� In a microwave the heat is produced INSIDE the food. In all other conventional cooking methods, heat is applied from OUTSIDE through transference of heat by convection or radiation.
� Microwave energy penetrates the food to a depth of about 25mm. Small foods under 5cm in diameter such as eggs are penetrated to the centre from all sides. In larger foods, energy creates heat in the outer layer; this then moves to the centre by conduction, as it does with conventional cooking.

SETTING THE CLOCK When the power is activated, the LED will display 1:00. Press the CLOCK button once or twice to set the digital clock to 24 hours cycle respectively. EXAMPLE: To set the oven clock time to 8:30. 1. Press CLOCK button once, the hour figures
will flash. Pressing once will show 24 hours. 2. Turn TIME ADJUST/AUTO COOK dial
to indicate the hour digit 8. Press the clock button to set the hour figure. The minute figures will begin to flash.
3. Turn TIME ADJUST/AUTO COOK dial to indicate the minute digits until the screen shows ": 30"
4. Press CLOCK to confirm the setting.
NOTE You can press the CLOCK button once to check clock time during cooking. +30 SEC INSTANT START

TIPS ON DEFROSTING

� The energy required for defrosting is much less than for cooking as the microwave causes the ice formed in the food to melt rather than heat.
� Before defrosting meat in the microwave oven, remove the freezer bag or wrapping to prevent meat sitting in `drip', which will otherwise boil as the meat defrosts causing meat to go grey and begin to stew. To remove frozen meat from freezer wrappings, defrost for a few minutes so the wrap is easy to remove.
� Remove meat from Styrofoam tray as they are not microwave-safe.
� Place meat onto a microwave safe rack and a drip tray to catch juices.
� Check the meat throughout the defrosting time. As outer portions of meat thaw, remove them. If the edges of meat feel warm, stop microwaving and allow meat to stand for a few minutes or until edges are cold again.
� After defrosting the meat, it must be cooked right away. Don't leave it to stand for any length of time at room temperature or in the fridge.
WEIGHT DEFROST
The oven allows the defrosting of meat, poultry, and seafood. The time and the defrosting power are adjusted automatically once the weight is programmed. The weight of the frozen food varies between 100g and 1800g:
FOR EXAMPLE: To defrost 600g of Chicken
1. Place the 600g of frozen chicken to be defrosted into the microwave and press the WEIGHT DEFROST button.
2. Press WEIGHT ADJUST button repeatedly to select the 600g weight.
3. Press START/+30 SEC button
NOTE
During defrosting program, the system will pause and sound beeps to remind user to turn food over, and then push START/+30 SEC dial to resume the defrosting.
TIME DEFROST

LMO420_ANZ_IB_E20_FA.indd 16

28/2/20 3:09 pm

The oven can quickly defrost food based on the time you entered. The maximum defrosting time you can set is 95 minutes: FOR EXAMPLE: To defrost Chicken 1. Press TIME DEFROST button once. 2. Turn TIME ADJUST/AUTO COOK dial to
set cooking time. 3. Push START/+30 SEC dial.
NOTE
During defrosting program, the system will pause and sound beeps to remind user to turn food over, and then push START/+30 SEC dial to resume the defrosting.
MULTI STAGE COOKING
Your oven can be programmed for up to 2 automatic cooking sequences. Suppose you want to set the following cooking program.
Microwave cooking
FOR EXAMPLE: To cook lasagne at 100% power for 5 minutes and 60% for 8 minutes 1. Input a power level by pressing the POWER
LEVEL button once to show 100. 2. Turn the TIME ADJUST/AUTO COOK
dial to 5 minutes. 3. Press the MULTI STAGE COOKING
button. 4. Input a power level by pressing the POWER
LEVEL button to set it at 60%. 5. Turn the TIME ADJUST/AUTO COOK
dial to 8 minutes. 6. Push START/+30 SEC dial.

Use to prevent unsupervised operation of the oven by little children. The CHILD LOCK indicator will show up on the display screen; the oven cannot be operated while the CHILD LOCK is set.
To set the CHILD LOCK: Press and hold the STOP/CANCEL button for 3 seconds, a beep sounds and the LOCK indicator illuminates on the display.
To cancel the CHILD LOCK: Press and hold the STOP/CANCEL button for 3 seconds until lock indicator on display goes off.
SYSTEM PROTECTION
During cooking, the system will detect whether there is an error. If there is an error, for example, the sensor was to short circuit or if there is an open circuit, the system will stop automatically with the display showing E-1 and the oven will beep every two seconds until the STOP/CANCEL button is pressed.

Tips

SOME IMPORTANT TIPS FOR
MICROWAVING COOKING
1. To help equalize energy in the food so that it cooks evenly follow these helpful tips. Arrange foods with varying size ends, such as chicken drumsticks and broccoli with the thicker or tougher part positioned to the outside of the dish. This ensures the parts that require more cooking will receive more energy, so the food will cook evenly.
2. Covering the dish during cooking holds in the heat and steam to speed up the cooking time. Use a microwave-safe lid or plastic wrap that has been vented by turning back one edge at the side of the dish to form a narrow vent to release excess steam.
3. Choose cooking dishes that are shallow and preferably have straight sides. Shallow dishes enable the food to cook faster and straight edges prevent the edges from being overcooked.
4. Use round shaped microwave dishes. Round shapes cook more evenly than square or rectangular dishes which absorb most of the energy in the corners causing food to overcook and toughen.
5. Stir foods from the outside to centre of the dish once or twice during cooking to equalize heat and speed microwaving.
6. Turn medium to large food items over once during microwaving. This enables even exposure to microwaves.
7. Elevating some types of food such as cakes, roast vegetables and dough products can be advantageous. It allows more energy to penetrate the food from all sides, base and top. Use a microwave-safe plastic or ceramic rack.
8. Do not elevate any special browning dishes, jugs of sauce or custard, small quantities of food or mugs of beverages.

9. Internal temperatures of foods continue to rise so that they continue cooking even after they have been removed from the microwave oven. It is better to undercook food as it will continue to cook once removed from the microwave.
MICROWAVE UTENSILS
� Containers, plates, dishes, etc. used in the microwave oven should always be microwavesafe. Check if they are microwave-safe on the underside of the utensil or contact the manufacturer.
� To test if a container, plate or dish is microwave-safe, place it into the microwave oven with 1 cup of cold water (in a microwavesafe cup) and heat on High (100%) Power for 1 minute. If the container is hot and the water is cold, the container is not suitable for microwave oven use. If the container is cold and the water is hot, then the container is suitable for microwave oven use.
� Metal containers and utensils should not be used in the microwave oven.

Care & Cleaning

� Switch off the microwave oven at the power outlet and remove the plug from the power outlet before cleaning.
� Keep the inside of the microwave oven clean. When food splatters or spilled liquids adhere to the microwave oven internal walls, wipe with a damp cloth. Mild detergent may be used if the cavity gets very dirty. Avoid the use of spray and other harsh cleaners as they may stain, streak or dull the door surface.
� The outside surfaces should be cleaned with a damp cloth. To prevent damage to the operating parts inside the microwave oven cavity, water should not be allowed to seep into the ventilation openings.
� Wipe the door and window on both sides of the door seals and adjacent parts frequently with a damp cloth to remove any spills or spatters. Do not use an abrasive cleaner.
� Do not allow the control panel to become wet. Clean with a soft, damp cloth. When cleaning the control panel, leave the microwave oven door open to prevent it from accidentally turning on.
� If steam accumulates inside or around the outside of the oven door, wipe with a soft dry cloth. This may occur when cooking foods high in moisture or if the microwave oven is operated under high humidity conditions, this is normal.
� Remove odours from your microwave oven by combining a cup of water with the juice of one lemon in a deep microwave-safe bowl, microwave on highest power level for 5 minutes. Wipe the microwave oven cavity thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth.
