Microwave cooking guidelines

o

If you are heating liquid in the microwave, then you must also place a teaspoon in the container. This will ensure that the liquid does not boil suddenly after being removed from the microwave cavity. o

This phenomenon is called “delayed boiling”, this means that a liquid can be close to boiling point, even if there is no steam coming off the liquid or the liquid is not bubbling. If the liquid container is even gently shaken, then the liquid can without warning boil over or even spurt. This could scald the end user. o

If the food you are cooking has a skin or peel (e.g. sausages, tomatoes, potatoes etc), then you should pierce the skin or peel with a fork. This will ensure that if steam is created during the heating process, it can escape and the food will not burst. o

When heating baby food, the bottle or jar containing the food should NEVER have a top or lid on. After cooking, to ensure that the food has been heated uniformly, you should stir or shake the food. IMPORTANT: You must check the temperature of the food

before feeding it to a child.

o

When heating food in a microwave, it will transmit the heat to the container that the food is in or on. You should ALWAYS use oven gloves when removing items from the microwave. o

You should make sure that you do not cook food for too long or at too high a power level. This could cause certain areas of the food to dry out or even ignite.

25


o

You should not use ceramic or porcelain crockery, or porous earthenware inside of your microwave. These dishes could absorb moisture from the food whilst it is cooking, which could cause pressure to build up and shatter the dish. o

If you are heating certain foods and any liquid, moisture will evaporate and condensation may occur. This does not indicate that the appliance is faulty and it can be particularly noticeable if the ambient temperature of the room is high. o

IMPORTANT: Any condensation should be wiped up with a soft cloth as soon as you have finished using the microwave.

o

After the cooking time has completed, you should let the food stand for a few minutes. This is called “standing time” and will allow the heat generated by the microwave to spread evenly throughout the food.

Materials you can use for microwave cooking

Cleaning and maintenance

Cleaning operations must only be carried out when the oven is cool.

The appliance should be disconnected from your mains supply before commencing any cleaning process.

The appliance exterior

o

You should wipe over the front of the appliance with a soft cloth and warm water mixed with a little washing up liquid. o

DO NOT use abrasive cleaners or sharp objects to clean the front surface of the microwave.

The appliance interior

o

You should wipe over the inside of the appliance with a soft cloth and warm water mixed with a little washing up liquid. o

You should pay particular attention to the door seal and the surrounding area. o

DO NOT use abrasive cleaners or sharp objects to clean the inside of the microwave.

Turntable and turntable support

o

The glass tray and turntable ring assembly should be removed from the microwave for cleaning purposes after each use. o

General cleaning advice

o

IMPORTANT: Any condensation should be wiped up with a soft cloth as soon as you have finished using the microwave.

o

To remove odours from inside of the microwave, you should boil one cup of water mixed with several tablespoons of lemon juice inside of the cavity.

28


o

The microwave should be thoroughly cleaned before it is operated for the first time and after each use. This will avoid residual food stuffs becoming baked on the oven cavity. After residues have been baked on several times, they are far more difficult to remove. o

Never clean the oven surfaces by steam cleaning. o

If you use any form of oven cleaner on your appliance, then you must check with the manufacturer of the cleaner that it is suitable for use on your appliance. o

DO NOT use abrasive cleaners or sharp objects to clean the glass of the microwave as this can damage the glass and lead to shattering. o

Any damage that is caused to the appliance by a cleaning product will not be fixed by Baumatic free of charge, even if the appliance is within the guarantee period.

WARNING: THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED.

o

This appliance is supplied with a moulded plug, which must be connected to an earthed socket. o

If in future you need to change the fuse in this plug, then a 13 amp ASTA approved (BS 1362) fuse must be used. o

If the earthed socket is not accessible after the appliance is installed. Then the microwave must be wired into a 13 A double pole switched fused spur outlet, having 3 mm contact separation and placed in an easily accessible position adjacent to the appliance. The spur outlet must still be accessible even when your microwave is located in its housing. o

The wiring in the mains lead is coloured as follows:

Brown

Blue

Green and yellow

Live

Neutral

Earth o

As the colours of the wires in the appliance’s mains lead may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your spur box, please proceed as follows:

The brown wire must be connected to the terminal marked “L”

(live), or coloured red.

The blue wire must be connected to the terminal marked “N”

(neutral), or coloured black.

The green and yellow wire must be connected to the terminal marked “E” (earth), or by the earth symbol, or coloured green

and yellow.

o

When the connection is completed, no stray strands or cut wire should be present. The cord clamp must be secured over the outer sheath. o

Broken or damaged power leads must only be replaced by a suitably qualified person. A power lead of a similar type must be used in replacement.

Before beginning to install your appliance, check that there is no sign of damage (on the inside or the outside of the microwave), and that there are no packing materials or accessories inside the cavity.

Remove any protective film on the microwave.

Supplied installation components


32

Preparing the housing unit

o

Your appliance will be supplied with an installation template, which you should follow when preparing the housing unit. o

Place the template on the base of the housing unit and tape it into position. o

IMPORTANT: The edge of template must be completely level with the front edge of the housing unit.

o

IMPORTANT: The centre line on the template MUST be positioned in the middle of the housing unit.

o

You should make marks on the base of the housing unit, in the positions marked with the letter “a” on the template. o

For the next step in preparing the housing unit process, you will require 8 x screw A and the bottom brackets.

33


o

Remove the template from the base of the housing unit. o

Fix the bottom brackets to the base of the housing unit, using screw A. o

IMPORTANT: These screws must be fully tightened.

Installing the oven into a housing unit

o

Fit adjustment screw B into the adjustment screw-hole on the top of the microwave. Adjustment screw B should not be fully tightened at this stage.

34


o

Place the microwave into the housing unit. o

IMPORTANT: Do not push the microwave fully into the housing unit, as you still need to be able to access adjustment screw B at this stage of the installation.

o

IMPORTANT: Make sure that the oven feet are sitting correctly in the grooves on the bottom brackets.

o

Turn adjustment screw B, ensuring that there is a 1 mm gap between adjustment screw B and the underneath of the top surface of the housing unit. o

Push the microwave fully into the housing unit. o

IMPORTANT: Care should be taken to ensure that you do not trap or kink the power cord.

o

Open the microwave door and locate screw-hole C. Use screw C to fix the microwave oven to the housing unit. A screw cover is provided to cover the screw cap.

My food is not cooking properly

*

Check that the power level and cooking time that you have set, is appropriate for the food that you are cooking.

*

If you are cooking a double amount of food, then you will normally need to almost double the cooking time.

*

If the food that you have placed in the cavity is colder than normal, then the power level and cooking time may need to be increased.


36

o

I am getting condensation in my oven

*

Steam and condensation are a natural by product of cooking in a microwave.

*

Do not leave food in the oven to cool after it has been cooked and the oven has been switched off.

*

Use a covered container, where practical, when cooking to reduce the amount of condensation that forms.

*

You should wipe over any condensation that has formed, as soon as the food has stopped cooking.
