Important Information
1. Cooking Times
•
•
Cooking times on page 10 are approximate.
The cooking time depends on the condition,
temperature and amount of food and on the type of
cooking ware.
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 hardboiled eggs by MICROWAVE. Pressure may build
up and the eggs will explode.
6. Liquids
•
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 cooking time.
d) After heating, allow it to stand in the oven for a
short time, stirring again before carefully removing
the container.
•
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
•
Microwave heating of beverages can result in
delayed eruptive boiling, therefore care has to be
taken when handling the container.
7. Paper/Plastic
4. Piercing Skin
•
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:
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.
-7-
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 when used.
Remove wire twist-ties from roasting bags before
placing bags in 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.
How Does the Microwave Work?
Microwaves are a form of high frequency radio waves
similar to those used by a radio including AM, FM
and CB. They are, however, much shorter than radio
waves; approximately 12 cm long.
Electricity is converted into microwave energy by the
magnetron tube. From the magnetron tube, microwave
energy is transmitted and absorbed.
Absorption
Reflection
Microwaves are reflected by metal just as a ball is
bounced off a wall. A combination of stationary (interior
walls) and rotating antenna, located underneath the
bottom shelf assure that the microwaves are well
distributed within the oven cavity to produce even
heating or cooking of foods.
During heating, microwaves will be absorbed by food.
They penetrate to a depth of about 1-5 cm. Microwave
energy excites the molecules in the food (especially
water, fat and sugar molecules), and causes them to
vibrate at a rate of 2,450,000,000 times per second.
This vibration causes friction, and heat is produced
just as you will feel heat produced if you vigorously
rub your hands together. The internal heating of
larger foods is done by conduction. The heat which is
produced by friction travels by conduction to the centre
of the food. Foods also continue to heat by conduction
during standing time. Because microwaves dissipate,
much like sunlight as it reaches the Earth’s surface,
they are not stored in food.
Transmission
Radio Interference
Microwaves pass through some materials such as
paper, glass and plastic much like sunlight shining
through a window. Because these substances do not
absorb or reflect the microwave energy, they are ideal
materials for microwave oven heating containers.
1. Some radio, TV, Wi-Fi, cordless telephone, baby
monitor, blue tooth or other wireless equipment
interference might occur when you operate with
the microwave oven. This interference is similar to
the interference caused by small appliances such
as mixers, vacuums, blow dryers, etc. It does not
indicate a problem with microwave oven.
2. When there is interference, it may be reduced or
eliminated by taking the following measures:
a) Clean the door and sealed surfaces of the oven.
(See Care of Your Microwave Oven page).
b) Place the radio, TV, etc. as far away as
possible, from the microwave oven.
