COOKING INSTRUCTIONS Utensils should be checked to ensure that they are suitable for use in microwave ovens. UTENSILS TEST Place the utensil in question next to a glass measure filled with water, in the microwave oven. Microwave at high power for 1-2 minutes. If the water heats up, but the utensil remains cool, the utensil is microwave-safe. However if the utensil becomes warm, microwaves are being absorbed by the utensil and it should not be in the microwave oven.
MICROWAVING PRINCIPLES Microwave energy has been used in this country to cook and reheat food since early experiments with RADAR in World War ll. Microwaves are present in the atmosphere all the time, both naturally and manmade sources. Manmade sources include radar, radio, television, telecommunication links and car phones. HOW MICROWAVES COOK FOOD Oven Cavity Turntable Magnetron Waveguide TRANSMISSION In a microwave oven, electricity is converted into microwave by the MAGNETRON.
COOKING TECHNIQUES STANDING TIME STARTING TEMPERATURE Dense foods e.g. meat, jacket potatoes and cakes, require standing time(inside or outside of the oven) after cooking, to allow heat to finish conducting to cook the center completely. Wrap meat joints and jacket potatoes in aluminium foil while standing. Meat joints need approx. 10-15 minutes, jacket potatoes 5 minutes. Other foods such as plated meal, vegetables, fish etc require 2-5 minutes standing.
DEFROSTING GUIDE GENERAL INFORMATION ➪ Put the food on a microwave rack (roasts, bone-in pieces) or in a microwave casserole (small pieces such as cubes or strips) or weigh at home on a kitchen scale. Round number to the nearest tenth of a pound and choose that number with each item pads. ➪ The shape of food items, especially larger ones, will vary affect the way defrost. Always check the status after the standing time.

CARE OF YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN 1 2 Turn the oven off before cleaning. 3 The outside oven surface should be cleaned with soap and water, rinsed and dried with a soft cloth. To prevent damage to the operating parts inside the oven, water should not be allowed to seep into the ventilation openings. 4 If the Control Panel becomes wet, clean with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use harsh detergents or abrasives on Control Panel.
USE YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN SAFELY General Use Do not attempt to defeat or tamper with safety interlocks. Do not place any object between the oven front frame and the door or allow residue to build up on sealing surfaces. Wipe with a mild detergent, rinse and dry. Never use abrasive powders or pads. Do not subject the oven door to strain or weight such as a child hanging on an open door. This could cause the oven to fall forward resulting in injury to you and damage to the oven.
BEFORE YOU CALL FOR SERVICE Refer to following checklist, you may prevent an unnecessary service call. * The oven doesn't work; 1. Check that the power cord is securely plugged in. 2. Check that the door firmly closed. 3. Check that the cooking time is set. 4. Check for a blown circuit fuse or tripped main circuit breaker in your house. * Sparking in the cavity; 1. Check that utensils are metal containers or dishes with metal trim. 2. Check that metal skewers touch the interior walls.
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS (continued) * Q : Why is standing time recommended after the cooking operation has been completed? * A : Standing time is very important. With microwave cooking, the heat is in the food, not in the oven. Many foods build up enough internal heat to allow the cooking process to continue, even after the food is removed from the oven. Standing time for joints of meat, large vegetables and cakes allows the inside to cook completely, without overcooking the outside.
