Installation and Connection
1) Cooking Times
• Cooking times given in the cookbook are
approximate. The cooking time depends
on the condition, temperature, amount of
food and on the type of cookware.
• Begin with the minimum cooking time to
help prevent overcooking. If the food is
not sufficiently cooked you can always
cook it for a little longer.
N.B. : If the recommended cooking
times are exceeded the food will be
spoiled and in extreme circumstances
could catch fire and possibly damage
the interior of the oven.
2) Small Quantities of Foods
• Small quantities of food or foods with low
moisture content can burn, dry out or
catch on fire if cooked too long. If
materials inside the oven should ignite,
keep the oven door closed, turn the oven
off and remove the plug from the socket.
3) Eggs
• Do not cook eggs in their shells and
whole hard-boiled eggs by MICROWAVE.
Pressure may build up and the eggs will
explode even after microwave heating
has ended.
4) Piercing Skin
• Food with non porous skins, such as
potatoes, egg yolks and sausages must
be pierced before cooking by
MICROWAVE to prevent bursting.
5) Meat Thermometer
• Use a meat thermometer to check the
degree of cooking of roasts and poultry
only when the meat has been removed
from the oven. Do not use a conventional
meat thermometer when using
MICROWAVE or COMBINATION because
it may cause sparking.
6) Liquids
• When heating liquids, e.g. soup, sauces
and beverages in your microwave oven,
overheating the liquid beyond boiling
point can occur without evidence of
bubbling. This could result in a sudden
boil over of the hot liquid. To prevent this
possibility the following steps should be
taken:
a) Avoid using straight-sided containers
with narrow necks.
b) Do not overheat.
c) Stir the liquid before placing the
container in the oven and again
halfway through the cooking time.
d) After heating, allow it to stand in the
oven for a short time, stir again
before carefully removing the
container.
7) Paper/Plastic
• When heating food in plastic or paper
containers, check the oven frequently as
these types of containers ignite if
overheated.
• Do not use recycled paper products (e.g.
Kitchen Roll) unless the paper product is
labelled as safe for microwave oven use.
Recycled paper products may contain
impurities which may cause sparks
and/or fires during use.
• Remove wire twist-ties from roasting
bags before placing the bags in the
oven.
8) Utensils/Foil
• Do not heat any closed cans or bottles
because they might explode.
• Metal containers or dishes with metallic
trim should not be used during
Microwave cooking. Sparking will occur.
• If you use any aluminium foil, meat
spikes or metalware the distance
between them and the oven walls and
door should be at least 2 cm to prevent
sparking.
9) Feeding Bottles/Baby Food Jars
• The top and teat or lid must be removed
from feeding bottles or baby food jars
before placing in the oven.
• The contents of feeding bottles and baby
food jars are to be stirred or shaken.
• The temperature has to be checked
before consumption to avoid burns.
