•
not present to absorb the microwave energy, t he
magnetron tube can be damaged.
Utensil safety
Only use utensils that are suitable for use in a
•
microwave oven.
Most glass, glass ceramic and heat-resistant
•
glass-ware utensils are excellent for use in the
micro-wave oven. Although microwave energy wi ll
not heat most glass and ceramic items, these
utensils can become hot as heat transfers fr om
the food to the container. The use of oven gl oves
to remove dishes is recommended.
Testing suitabi lity of cookwar e
Utensils should be checked to ensure they are
•
suitable for use in Microwave Ovens.
Place the cookware in the microwave along wit h a
•
glass half full of water. Heat on (900W) (100 %) for
one minute. If the cookware feels hot, you sh ould
not use it. If it is just slightly warm, you can use it
for reheating but not for cooking. If the dish is
room temperature, it is suitable for microwave
cooking.
5
EMS2840 t English
• Paper napkins, wax paper, paper towels, plat es,
cups, cartons, freezer wrap and cardboard are
great convenience utensils. Always be sure
containers are filled with food to absorb energy
and thus avoid the possibility of overheat ing or
ignition.
• Many plastic dishes, cups, freezer containers an d
plastic wraps may be used in the microwave
oven. Follow manufacturer’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.

•
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, unl ess
specifically recommended for microwave use.
Containers with restricted openings, such as
•
bottles, should not be used for microwave

foods in your microwave oven providing the f ollowing
rules are observed:
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 f ull
of food. Empty containers must never be used.
4. Foil containers should be used singly in the
microwave oven and should not be allow ed to
touch the sides. If your oven has a metal turntable
or cooking rack, the foil container should be
placed on an upturned oven-proof plate.
5. Foil containers should never be re-used in t he
microwave oven.
6. If the microwave oven has been in use for 15
minutes or more, allow it to cool before using it
again.
7. The container and turntable may become hot
during use, take great care when removing eith er
from the oven. It is advisable to use an oven cloth
or glove when doing so.
8. Remember when using an aluminium foi l
container that the reheating or cookin g 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 situat ions can
result.
Popcorn may be prepared in the microwave oven,
•
but only in special packages or utensils designed
specifically for this purpose. This cooking
operation should never be unattended.
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 f ood jars
•
are to be stirred or shaken and the temperature is
to be checked before consumption, in order t o
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 in delayed eruptive
boiling, therefore care must be taken w hen
handling the container.
WARNING : When heating liquids,
e.g. soups, 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 th e fol low ing steps
should be taken:
6
EMS2840 t English
1. Avoid using straight-sided containers with narrow
necks.
2. Do not overheat.
3. Stir the liquid before placing the cont ainer in the
oven and again halfway through the he at ing time.
4. After heating, allow to stand in the oven f or 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, poach ed eggs may explode
during cooking. Always pierce the yolk,
then cover and allow the standi ng ti me of
one minute before removing cover.
It is quite normal for steam to be emitted
around the door, or for misting to occur on the
door, or even for water droplets to appear
below the door during the cooking cycle. This
is merely condensation from the heat of t he
food and does not affect the safety of your
oven. The door is not intended to seal
the oven cavity completely.
• Do not force the turntable to rotate by hand. This
may cause malfunctioning.
• Arcing in the oven during microwave operation
usually occurs from use of metallic ut ensils.
Continuous arcing, however, can damage the
unit. Stop the programme and check the utens il.
