Place the cookware in the microwave along with a glass half full of water.Heat on full power for one minute. If the cookware feels hot, you should not use it. If it is just slightly warm, you can use it for reheating but not for cooking. Ifthe dish is room temperature, it issuitable for microwave cooking.
Paper napkins, wax paper, paper towels, plates, cups, cartons, freezer wrap and cardboard are great convenience utensils. Always be sure containers are filled with foodto absorb energy and thus avoid the possibility ofoverheating or ignition.
Many plastic dishes, cups, freezercontainers and plastic wraps may be used in the microwave oven. Followmanufacturer’s instructions when using plastics in the oven. Avoid using plastic utensils with foods that have high fat or sugar content since these foods reach high temperatures and could melt some plastics.
Do not leave oven unattended, and look at it from time to time when heating or cooking food in plastic, paper or other combustible containers.
Metal utensils and utensils with metallic trim should not be used in the microwave oven, unless specificallyrecommended for microwave use.
Containers with restricted openings, such as bottles, should not be used for microwave cooking.
Use caution when removing a lid or coverfrom a dish to avoid steam burns.

1.
Foil containers should not be more than 3 cms (1 1/4”) deep.
2.
Foil lids must not be used.
3.
The foil containers must be at least two-thirds full offood. Empty containers must never be used.
4.
Foil containers should be used singly in the microwave oven and should not be allowed to touch the sides. Ifyour oven has ametal turntable or cooking rack,the foil container should be placed on an upturned ovenproof plate.
5.
Foil containers should neverbe re-used in the microwave oven.
If the microwave oven has been in use for 15 minutes or more, allow it to coolbefore using it again.
The container and turntable may become hot during use; take great carewhen removing either from the oven. It is advisable to use an oven cloth or glove when doing so.
Remember when using an aluminium foil container that the reheating or cooking times may be longer than you are used to, always ensure that the food is piping hot before serving.
Food safety
Do not heat food in a can in the microwave oven. Always remove the food to a suitable container.
Deep fat frying should not be done in the microwave oven, because the fat temperature cannot be controlled, hazardous situations can result.
Popcorn may be prepared in the microwave oven, but only in specialpackages or utensils designed specifically for this purpose. This cooking operation should never beunattended.
Pierce foods with non-porous skins or membranes to prevent steam build-up and bursting. Apples, potatoes, chicken livers, and egg yolks are examples of items that should be pierced.
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 orderto avoid burns.
Warning: Liquids or other foods must not be heated in sealed containers since they are liable to explode.
Warning: Microwave heating of beverages can result indelayed eruptive boiling; therefore care must be taken when handling the container.
electrolux
Warning: When heating liquids, e.g. soups, sauces and beverages in your microwave oven, overheating the liquid beyond boiling point canoccur 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:
Avoid using straight-sided containers
with narrow necks.
Do not overheat.
Stir the liquid before placing the container in the oven and again halfway through the heating time.
After heating, allow standing in the oven for a short time, stirring again before carefully removing the container.
Warning: Some products such as whole eggs and sealed containers – for example, closed glass jars – may explode and should not be heated in this oven. Occasionally, poached eggs may explode during cooking. Always pierce the yolk, then cover and allow the standing time of one minute beforeremoving cover.

Defrosting Tips
It is better to underestimate defrostingtime ifyou are unsure. Food will continue to defrost during the standing time.
Separate food as soon as possible.
Turn large items, e.g. joints, halfwaythrough the defrosting time.
Remove any thawed food as soon as possible.
Remove or open any packaging before defrosting.
Place food in a larger container than that which it was frozen in, this willallow for easy stirring.
Begin thawing poultry, breast side down and turn over halfwaythrough defrosting time or at pause. Delicate areas such as wing tips can be shielded with small pieces of smooth foil. Standing time is veryimportant, particularly for large, dense foods which cannot be stirred to ensure that the centre is completely defrosted before cooking.
Hints and tips
Always keep the oven clean – avoid spillovers and do not forget to clean under the glass tray and the inside ofthe door.
Preferably use round or ovalcasseroles with a lid when cooking in your microwave oven.
Do not use metal or metal decorated casseroles. Certain plastic materials can melt and be warped byhot food.
Cover the food when cooking. Use a glass lid, a plate or greaseproof paper.
Pastry, bread and the like can be defrosted directlyin a breadbasket oron a paper towel.
If frozen food is heated in it’spackaging, the packaging should be opened.
Packaging containing metal or metal decoration must not be used unless specifically recommended for use in the microwave. Remove metal clips and wire ties.
Smaller pieces of aluminium foil can be used to cover parts that easily overcook such as chicken legs.
Food with peel or skin should be pierced with a fork – e.g. potatoes and sausages. Do not boil eggs in the microwave oven as they can explode.
Put large, thick pieces close to the edge of the casserole and try to cut the food in to even sized pieces. Always place the food in the centre of the oven.
The food will be evenly cooked if you stir or turn it a few times.
Always set a shorter cooking time than indicated in your recipe to avoid
electrolux
over cooking. The larger the amount offood the longer it takes.
Use little or no water for vegetables. Use less salt and spices than for
‘normal’ cooking.
Season afterwards.
Allow a few minutes ‘standing’ timeafter the oven has switched off to ensure complete and even cooking results.
Always ensure food is piping hot throughout before serving.
Use potholders or gloves when taking dishes and food from the oven.
Melting Chocolate
Break 100g of chocolate into
squares, place in A bowl and heat on
high power for 1-2 minutes and stir
well.
Softening or Melting Butter
Melting takes a few seconds on high
power. Softening is best done more
gently on low power.
Freshen or Warm Bread
Use medium power for fewseconds.
Peeling Garlic easily
Heat 3 or 4 cloves of garlic on high
power for 15 seconds. Squeeze at
one end until the clove pops out.
Fruit Juice
Citrus fruits will yield more juice if
they are heated on high power for 15
seconds before squeezing.

Care and cleaning
The oven must always be clean. Residue of food from spillovers orspatters will attract microwave energycausing it to burn on. This could reduce the efficiency of the oven and may cause bad odours.
Do not attempt to tamper with or make any adjustments or repairs to any part of the oven.
Repairs should only be done by a qualified service technician.
Be sure the oven is off or the unit is unplugged before cleaning.
Cleaning the accessories (turntable, support and Grill rack)
Clean them with mild detergent after removing them for the cavity. Turntable support should be carefully handled.
The inside of the oven and turntable get very hot; so do not touch them immediately after use.
Cleaning the interior
Always keep the inside of the oven clean. Wipe up spillovers and food spatters immediately. Deposits that are allowed to remain on the oven walls, door seal and door surfacewill absorb microwave energy, reduce the efficiency of the oven, and possibly damage the oven interior. Use mild, liquid detergent, warm water and a soft,clean cloth to remove deposits from the base of the oven. For the side of the oven use a soft damp cloth only, noliquids should be used near the venting holes.
Never use abrasive cleaners, commercial oven cleaners or steel wool pads on any part of the microwave oven.
To loosen difficult deposits, boil acup of water in the microwave oven for 2 or 3 minutes.
Never use a knife or any utensilto remove deposits from the oven surfaces.
To remove odours from the oven interior, boil a cup of water plus 2 tablespoons oflemon juice for 5 minutes.
Cleaning the door seals
Wipe up spillovers and food spatters immediately. Deposits that are allowed to remain on the door seals will absorb microwave energy, reduce the efficiency of the oven, and possibly damage the oven interior. You can onlyuse mild, liquid detergent, warm water and a soft, clean cloth to removedeposits from the door seals.
