IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

• The following basic precautions should always be followed when using electrical appliances:
• Read all instructions before using.
• Make sure the voltage in your area corresponds to the one shown on the rating label of the appliance and the wall socket is properly earthed.
• To reduce the risk of fire in the oven cavity:
  • Do not overcook the food.
  • Remove wire twist ties from paper or plastic bags before placing bags in the oven.
  • Do not heat oil or fat for deep frying as the temperature of oil cannot be controlled.
  • After use, wipe the waveguide cover with a damp cloth, followed by dry cloth to remove any food splashes and grease.
  • Built-up grease may overheat and begin to cause smoke or catch fire.
  • If materials inside the oven should smoke or ignite, keep the oven door closed, turn the oven off and disconnect the power supply.
  • When heating food in plastic or paper containers, keep an eye on the oven due to the possibility of ignition.
• WARNING: Liquids and other foods must not be heated in sealed containers since they are liable to explode:
  • Baby bottles fitted with a screw cap or teat are considered to be sealed containers.
  • Use wide-mouthed containers to cook liquid, and the cooked liquid should be allowed to stand for at least a minute before removing.
  • Potatoes, sausage and chestnut should be peeled or pierced before cooking. Eggs in their shell, whole hard-boiled eggs should not be heated in microwave ovens since they may explode, even after microwave heating has ended.
  • The contents of feeding bottles and baby food jars are to be stirred or shaken and the temperature is to be checked before consumption, in order to avoid burns.
• If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its service agent or a qualified technician in order to avoid a shock hazard.
• After cooking, the container is very hot. Use gloves to take out the food and avoid steam burns by directing steam away from the face and hands.
• Slowly lift the furthest edge of dish covers and microwave plastic wrap.
• To prevent the turntable from breaking:
  • Let the turntable cool down before cleaning.
  • Do not place hot foods or utensils on the cold turntable.
  • Do not place frozen foods or utensils on the hot turntable.
• Make sure the utensils do not touch the interior walls during cooking.
• Only use utensils that are suitable for use in microwave ovens.
• Do not store food or any other things inside the oven.
• Do not operate the oven without any liquid or food inside the oven. This would do damage to the oven.

IS IT MICROWAVE SAFE?

It is very important to only use microwave-safe materials. These days many vessels have a small icon underneath to say if it is suitable for microwaves or not.

Patterned plates or bowls may contain metal in the glaze, which can cause damage to your microwave.

Do not use metal or foil of any kind.

When using plastic or paper wrapping, check on the manufacturer's packaging whether it is safe to use in a microwave or not.

Popping, smoking or sparking is a sure indicator that your microwave doesn't like the material in the oven cavity. Whenever this happens, switch off the microwave and remove the oven contents after they have cooled.

Cooking Tips

The following factors may affect the cooking result:

Food arrangement

Place thicker areas towards outside of dish, the thinner part towards the Centre and spread it evenly. Do not overlap if possible.

Cooking time length

Start cooking with a short time setting, evaluate it after it times out and extend it according to the actual need. Overcooking may result in smoke and burns.

Cooking food evenly

Food such as chicken, hamburger or steak should be turned once during cooking. Depending on the type of food, if applicable, stir it from outside to centre of dish once or twice during cooking.

Allow standing time

After cooking time ends, leave the food in the oven for an adequate length of time; this allows it to complete its cooking cycle and cools it down in a gradual manner.

Whether the food is done

Colour and hardness of food help to determine if it is done, these include:

• Steam coming out from all parts of food, not just the edge.
• Joints of poultry can be moved easily.
• Pork or poultry shows no signs of blood.
• Fish is opaque and can be sliced easily with a fork.

Browning dish

When using a browning dish or self-heating container, always place a heat-resistant insulator such as a porcelain plate under it to prevent damage to the turntable and rotating ring.

Microwave safe plastic wrap

When cooking food with high fat content, do not allow the plastic wrap come into contact with food as it may melt.

Microwave safe plastic cookware

Some microwave safe plastic cookware might not be suitable for cooking foods with high fat and sugar content. Also, the preheating time specified in the dish instruction manual must not be exceeded.
