Microwaving Principles Microwave energy has been used in this country to cook and reheat food since early experiments with RADAR in World War II. Microwaves are present in the atmosphere all the time, both naturally and from manmade sources. Manmade sources include radar, radio, television, telecommunication links and car phones. How Microwaves cook food Oven cavity Magnetron Ceramic Plate In a microwave oven, electricity is converted into microwaves by the MAGNETRON.
Important Notes The dish used to cook or reheat the food will get warm during cooking, as the heat conducts from the food. Even in microwaving, oven gloves are required! MICROWAVES CANNOT PASS THROUGH METAL AND THEREFORE METAL COOKING UTENSILS CAN NEVER BE USED IN A MICROWAVE, FOR COOKING ON MICROWAVE ONLY Foods Not Suitable for Cooking by Microwave Only Yorkshire Puddings, Souffles, Double Crust Pastry Pies.
General Guidelines STANDING TIME Dense foods e.g. meat, jacket potatoes and cakes, require a STANDING TIME (inside or outside of the oven) after cooking, to allow heat to finish conducting through the food. • Meat Joints – Stand 15 mins. wrapped in aluminium foil. • Jacket Potatoes – Stand 5 mins. wrapped in aluminium foil when cooked by microwave only. It is not necessary to stand jacket potatoes cooked in COMBINATION mode. • Light Cakes – Stand 5 mins. before removing from dish.
General Guidelines Piercing Moisture Content The skin or membrane on some foods will cause steam to build up during cooking. These foods must be pierced or a strip of skin should be peeled off before cooking to allow the steam to escape. Eggs, potatoes, apples, sausages etc, will all need to be pierced before cooking. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO BOIL EGGS IN THEIR SHELLS. Many fresh foods e.g. vegetables and fruit, vary in moisture content throughout the season. Jacket potatoes are a particular example of this.
General Guidelines Quantity Density Small quantities cook faster than large quantities, also small meals will reheat more quickly than large portions. Porous airy foods heat more quickly than dense heavy foods. Shape Arranging Even shapes cook evenly. Individual foods e.g. chicken portions or chops, should be placed on a dish so that the thicker parts are to the outside. Spacing Ingredients Foods cook more quickly and evenly if spaced apart.
General Guidelines Starting Temperature Covering The colder the food, the longer it takes to heat up. Food from a fridge takes longer to reheat than food at room temperature. Food temperature should be between 5-8ºC before cooking. Cover foods with microwave cling film or a self-fitting lid. Cover fish, vegetables, casseroles, soups. Do not cover cakes, sauces, jacket potatoes, pastry items. Please refer to cooking charts and recipes for more infomation.
Containers to use Choosing the correct container is a very important factor in deciding the success or failure of your cooking. Testing Dishes for Suitability - For Microwave Cooking Only. When unsure that a cooking container is suitable for use in your microwave, check by the following test: 1. Fill a microwave safe measuring jug with 300ml (½ pt) cold water. 2. Place it on the base of the oven alongside the dish to be tested.
Containers to use Pottery, Earthenware, Stoneware Foil/Metal Containers If completely glazed, these dishes are suitable. Do not use if partially glazed or unglazed, since they are able to absorb water which in turn absorbs microwave energy, making the container very hot and slows down the cooking of food. NEVER ATTEMPT TO COOK IN FOIL OR METAL containers on Microwave only as the microwaves cannot pass through and the food will not heat evenly, it may also damage your oven.
Containers to use Wicker, Wood, Straw Baskets Aluminium Foil Dishes will crack and could ignite. Do not use wooden dishes in your microwave. DO NOT USE ON ANY COOKING MODE. Roasting bags are useful when slit up one side to tent a joint, for roasting by power and time. Do not use the metal twists supplied, when using Microwave or Combination.

Controls and Operation Procedure One of the features of this oven is the energy save function. There are two options available - Eco Mode which is pre-set and Clock Mode. Eco Mode: The oven is pre-set with Eco Mode activated. NOTE: 1. The clock does not appear in the display when the Eco Mode is on. 2. After 6 minutes without operation in Eco Mode the oven powers down. It is necessary to open and close the oven door before operating the oven. 3.
Microwave Cooking and Defrosting There are 6 different microwave power levels available. Do not place food directly on the ceramic plate. Place on Glass dish supplied with the oven or use your own dishes, plates or bowls directly on the ceramic plate. Selecting Microwave Power Level: Power Wattage Level High Defrost Medium Low Simmer Warm • Select • Select Microwave power Microwave level by turning the Auto power cooking Menu/Temperature Dial to mode. the left.
Auto Weight Defrost - Chaos Defrost With this feature you can defrost frozen foods according to the weight. Select the category and set the weight of the food. The weight starts from the minimum weight for each category. Start • Press the Chaos Defrost Pad. • Turn the Auto Menu/ Temperature dial clockwise select the desired program. • Set the weight of the food by using the Time/Weight Dial. • Press Start Button.
Auto Weight Defrost Programs This feature allows you to defrost minced meat, chops, chicken portions, meat joints and bread. The CHAOS defrost pad and then the Auto Menu/Temperature Dial should be turned to select the correct defrost category and then enter in the weight of the food in grams (see page 25). Foods should be placed in a suitable dish, whole chickens and joints of meat should be on an upturned saucer or on a microwave safe rack.
Auto Weight Defrost Programs CHAOS DEFROST Category 1 Bread The Bread Program is suitable for defrosting small items e.g. rolls, buns and slices of bread which are required for immediate use. Small items may feel warm immediately after defrosting. Loaves can also be defrosted on this program but these will require standing time to allow the centre to thaw out. Standing time can be shortened if slices are separated and buns and loaves cut in half. Items should be turned halfway during defrosting.
Defrosting Guidelines By selecting the DEFROST power level from the microwave power pad and setting a time, you can defrost food in your microwave. The biggest problem is getting the inside defrosted before the outside starts to cook. For this reason a defrost program alternates between a defrost power and a standing time. The name for this type of defrost is cyclic. During the standing stages there is not any microwave power in the oven, although the light will remain on.
