Installation and Connection
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 sufciently
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 re 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 re 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 hard-
boiled eggs by MICROWAVE. Pressure may build
up and the eggs will explode.
4. Piercing Skin
• 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
• 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.
6. Liquids
• 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:
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.
• Microwave heating of beverages can result in
delayed eruptive boiling, therefore care has to be
taken when handling the container.
7. Paper/Plastic
• 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 res when used.
• Remove wire twist-ties from roasting bags before
placing bags in oven.
