Failure to maintain the oven in a clean condition could lead to deterioration of the surface that could adversely affect the life of the appliance and possibly result in a hazardous situation.

1. Remove the plug from the electrical socket before cleaning.

2. Keep the inside of the oven clean. If pieces of food or spilled liquids stick to the oven walls, or between door seal and door surface, they will absorb microwaves and may cause arcing or sparks. Wipe up all spills with a damp cloth. Kitchen detergent or Food Sanitizer

Solution may be used if the oven gets very dirty. Do not use harsh detergents or abrasives.

3. The outside surface and the outer door of this microwave oven should be cleaned with soap and water, then dried with a soft cloth.

Make sure that water does not get into the back ventilation or control panel opening since this can damage the unit.

CLEANING OF THE SPLATTER SHIELD

1. Hold snap in / snap out stoppers of splatter shield with both hands and pull them in and down. Then take the splatter shield out of the oven cavity.

2. Rinse splatter shield in soapy water or Food Sanitizer Solution and dry it completely.

Before Use

Cookware Other Helpful Instructions

1. Heat-proof glassware, such as Pyroceram and

Pyrex ® , is best suited for use in the Microwave

Oven.

2. If “arcing” should occur, check the cookware carefully again for metal.

3. You may use ordinary glassware, chinaware, plastic-ware and paper-ware, when cooking food that requires a low temperature. Using this type of cookware for high temperature cooking may cause cracking or warping.

You can cook steamed vegetables in special

“see-through” wrapping film, such as Saran Wrap, or wax paper. Do not cook in a plastic bag.

5. Before using the oven always check that containers are suitable. DO NOT MICROWAVE sealed containers as they may explode.

DO NOT leave the appliance unattended if paper, plastic or other combustible containers are used. Do not use recycled paper products, as they may contain impurities which may cause sparks and/or fires when used, unless packaging states they are specifically designed for MICROWAVE use.

CAUTION

Do not use METAL UTENSILS in this oven.

Defrosting Frozen Food

1. If you try to completely defrost frozen food in the

Microwave Oven, uneven defrosting may occur due to the differences in the thickness and shape of the food. Drip may also result, and sometimes a part of the food cooks although other parts still remain frozen. In actual usage of frozen foods, you should not normally defrost them 100%, 70% defrosting in the Microwave Oven is ideal and helpful for the next cooking operation.

2. To defrost evenly, turn over or rearrange the food during defrosting.

3. To defrost fatty meat, heat it in the Microwave

Oven for a short time and leave it to stand at room temperature, or heat it intermittently until defrosted.

4. When you defrost a whole chicken, or any frozen food of irregular shape, wrap legs or thin parts with aluminium foil. Otherwise thin parts will be defrosted faster and sometimes cooked before other parts have properly defrosted. For big pieces of meat, wrap the sides with aluminium foil so that they will be uniformly thawed by vertical microwaves only.

Ice should be removed at times during defrosting.

For best results

1. As microwave cooking times are much shorter than other cooking methods it is essential that recommended cooking times are not exceeded without first checking the food.

Factors that may affect cooking times are: preferred degree of cooking, starting temperature, altitude, volume, size and shape of foods and utensils used.

As you become familiar with the oven, you will be able to adjust these factors.

It is better to undercook rather than overcook foods.

If food is undercooked, it can always be returned to the oven for further cooking. If food is overcooked, nothing can be done. Always start with minimum cooking times.

IMPORTANT

If the recommended cooking times are exceeded, the food will be spoiled and in extreme circumstances it could catch fire and possibly damage the interior of the oven.

2. Be careful of the cooking time for small quantities of foods, or foods with low water content. They may burn if cooked too long.

3. Do not use the oven for drying kitchen towels or napkins. They may burn if heated too long.

4. Do not try to boil eggs in the oven.

5. When you cook an egg be sure to pierce the yolk membrane prior to placing into the oven to prevent the egg bursting.

6. To achieve more even cooking result, give the dish a half-turn, or turn the food over.

Christmas puddings and other foods high in fats or sugar, e.g. jam, mince pies, must not be over heated. These foods must never be left unattended as with over cooking these foods can ignite.

8. It is essential that reheated food is served “piping hot”. Remove the food from the oven and check that it is “piping hot”, i.e. steam is being emitted from all parts and any sauce is bubbling. If you wish you may choose to check the food has reached 72°C with a food thermometer — (but remember do not leave this thermometer inside the microwave.) or to a temperature recommended by Government Food Hygiene

Regulations.

For foods that cannot be stirred, e.g. lasagne, shepherds pie, the centre should be cut with a knife to test it is well heated through. Even if a manufacturer’s packet instructions have been followed, always check the food is piping hot before serving it. If in doubt return your food to the oven for further heating.

9. Standing time refers to the period at the end of cooking or reheating when food is left before being eaten, i.e. it is a rest time which allows the heat in the food to continue to conduct to the centre, thus eliminating cold spots.

Microwave Basics

Fundamental principles determine the success of microwave food preparation.

They include:

1. Temperature of Foods — Frozen or refrigerated food items will require longer heating times to reach a desired serving temperature than foods from room temperature.

2. Food Components — Foods high in sugar, salt, fats and moisture content heat faster because these properties attract microwave energy.

Denser foods high in protein and fibre, absorb microwave energy slower which means a lengthier heating time.

3. Bulk/Volume — The greater the mass of food, the longer it takes to heat.

4. Containers — Ceramic, paper, china, styrofoam, glass and plastic are suitable for use in microwave ovens with the following caution:

Heating foods with either high sugar or high fat content should be done ONLY in high temperature-resistant containers since these foods get very hot. Using styrofoam containers for these foods will cause the styrofoam to warp. Other low temperature restaurant glass or plastic platters may crack or warp under similar conditions.

DO NOT HEAT foods in a SEALED container or bag. Foods expand when heated and can break the container or bag.

5. AVOID METAL because it “bounces” the microwaves, causing uneven heating and sometimes even flashes, which may pit or mark the interior of the oven, the metal container or plate trim.

6. Heated liquids can erupt if not mixed with air.

Do not heat liquids in your microwave oven without first stirring.

Before Cooking

General Guidelines for

Heating in a Microwave Oven

For specific time, see each food category for appropriate heating techniques, plus necessary pre-preparation of foods.

Heating Foods from Refrigerated Temperature

Foods stored in the refrigerator (5°C) should be covered before reheating with the exception of breads, pastries or any breaded product, which should be heated uncovered to prevent sogginess.

Most conventionally prepared foods should be slightly undercooked, and held in the refrigerator, so that overcooking does not occur during microwave heating.

Cooked items, such as vegetables, may be portion plated and covered for reheating without loss of colour, texture or nutritional content.

Heating Foods from Room Temperature

Food items such as canned entrees, vegetables, etc. will require significantly less heating time than those at refrigerated temperatures.

Important Recommendations

1. For best results it is recommended that foods conventionally prepared be slightly undercooked when subsequently heated in this oven.

2. REMEMBER that after the heating cycle has been completed, internal food temperatures continue to rise slightly in foods heated in this oven.

3. A major abuse of microwave applications is the category of breads, pastries and pies. They are drier than insides or fillings, they heat more slowly. Therefore, baked goods should ONLY be heated until the crust is warm to the touch

(50°C – 55°C).

4. DO NOT OVERHEAT YOUR FOOD: 99% of all food quality complaints of microwave heated foods can be traced to overheating.

Cooking Instructions – Heating and Defrosting Time Charts –

The times given in the chart below are a guideline only. Many factors eg starting temperature of the food can affect the final heating time required. The cooking and defrosting times must be adjusted when necessary.

All times are t ested using foods at starting temperatures as below;

Chilled foods ............Approx. +5°C

Frozen foods ............Approx. –18°C

Always check for the correct core temperature with a temperature probe to comply with current Government

Food Hygiene Regulations.

HINTS: • Do not cook/reheat/defrost directly onto the base of the oven — use a suitable container.

• When defrosting multi portions of foods, turn over and break apart halfway through defrost time to allow better penetration of microwave energy.

• Solid/dense foods should not be cooked from frozen as they will be overcooked round the edges before the centre has reached the required temperature.

• Cover dishes where appropriate during cooking/reheating. This will retain moisture and prevent splashing/spillages.

• Loosen lids/pierce clingfilm before cooking/reheating covered foods.

• Stir or shake foods halfway through cooking/defrosting time to distribute the heat evenly.

• Allow a Stand Time before food temperature is checked and/or offered for consumption.
