Important Safety Instructions
Oven Light
When it becomes necessary to replace the
oven light, please consult your dealer.
Cooking Times
The 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.
IMPORTANT!
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.
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 in the microwave oven
because it may cause sparking.
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.
Eggs
Do not cook eggs in their shells and
whole hard-boiled eggs by MICROWAVE.
Pressure may build up and the eggs may
explode, even after the microwave heating
has ended.
Piercing Skin
Food with non porous skins, such as
potatoes, egg yolks and sausages, must be
pierced before cooking by MICROWAVE to
prevent bursting.
Liquids
When heating liquids, e.g. soup, sauces and
beverages in microwave mode, 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.
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.
