ELECTRICAL SAFETY
NOTE - This appliance must be grounded. In the event of a
•
malfunction or breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk of electric
shock by providing a path of least resistance of electrical current. You
will be able to tell if it is because a non-grounded appliance will give
off an electrical discharge. Your Microwave’s plug must have a
grounding pin and if you use an extension cord, this must have a 3-pin
inlet/outlet as well as carry the same rating or greater than your
microwave. Only connect to a properly grounded outlet.

A note on the type of energy used
by your Microwave Oven
Microwaves are electromagnetic waves that transmit energy. When cooking,
the microwave energy penetrates food to a depth of 4cm (1½ inches),
causing its molecules to vibrate. The heat produced by this friction
enables food to be heated, cooked or defrosted.
How quickly a microwave oven cooks will depend on the size, quality and
shape of the food being cooked. Microwave cooking is healthy in that,
without the need for large amounts of cooking liquid, it means that food
retains vitamins, nutrients, aromas and flavour.
Microwave Ovens are also more energy efficient than conventional cooking
because they use up to 70% less energy.
______________________
Never use your
Microwave Oven to:
Dry clothes or fabrics
Dry or warm up pets or live animals
Warm or heat any item other than food and the
appropriate utensil
Cook sealed containers
Cook items where you have placed a liquid or
mercury thermometer (eg. Inside roasts or turkeys)
Heat large quantities of cooking oil (fondue or deep
frying) or drinks with high alcohol contents

Before you Start Cooking with Your Microwave
PLEASE REMEMBER: NOT ALL FOODS AND UTENSILS ARE
SUITABLE for use in MICROWAVE OVENS.
FOODS THAT MUST NEVER
oEggs in their shell or
whole hard-boiled
eggs since they may
explode, even after
your Microwave has
stopped heating them.
o Foods that need
deep-frying: your
Microwave cannot
deep-fry and is
liable to present a
fire hazard if you
attempt to deep fry
with it.
o Foods that you intend
to can at home. There
is no way of ensuring
BE MICROWAVED:
o Narrow-necked
containers like
syrup bottles – the
neck could explode.
o Never use your
Microwave when it is
empty. This is a fire
hazard.
o Sealed liquids and
food containers –
these will almost
certainly explode –
NEVER PLACE THEM
IN YOUR
MICROWAVE!
that foods intended for
home canning have
reached the required
boiling temperature.
And please be careful with …
Heating liquids and drinks: when you heat liquid using a
Microwave, part of the liquid can exceed boiling point
tension is such that it will be susceptible to upward surges. To avoid
the risk of being scalded, always handle bowls and cups of heated
liquid steadily and carefully. PLEASE SEE NEXT PAGE FOR FURTHER
ADVICE TO AVOID SCALDING!
. Its surface
11
Page 12
Before you Start Cooking with Your Microwave
You can reduce the chances of this happening further by
1. Avoiding using straight-sided containers with narrow necks.
2. Not overheating.
3. Stirring the liquid before placing the container in the oven and
again halfway through the heating time.
4. After heating, allow to stand in the oven for a short time, stirring
again before carefully removing the container, using a
cloth or oven glove.
Likewise, if you are heating feeding bottles and baby food jars always
stir or shake them and then check the temperature before
you serve them, to avoid burns. Remember that babies
can be easily scalded!
If you are cooking bacon, do not place it directly on the
turntable as excessive heating may make the
turntable likely to break.
Bagged Popcorn – always read the manufacturer’s guidelines before
Microwaving bagged popcorn.
Always pierce foods with non-porous skins to reduce the risk of
them bursting from inside steam build-up; eg: apples,
potatoes, chicken livers and egg yolks.
Be sure to make checks on your food during operation to avoid
burning and excessive cooking.
Always be careful when opening partially sealed containers –
there is the risk of steam escaping.
TO TEST WHETHER YOUR UTENSIL IS
MICROWAVE SAFE, YOU CAN CONDUCT
THE FOLLOWING TEST:
1. Fill a microwave-safe container with 1 cup of cold water
(250ml) along with the utensil in question.
2. Cook on maximum power for 1 minute (no longer than
this).
3. Carefully feel the utensil; if it is warm, do NOT use it for
microwave cooking.

Notes on Microwaving Food
Your Baumatic Microwave Oven features a Grilling and Combination mode. In
grilling, heat comes from an element set in the ceiling. This is particularly
suitable for toasting & grilling (eg. Steaks & sausages).
In Combination Mode, both the microwave and grilling modes will function.
Dishes will be cooked more quickly, whilst being crisp & brown at the same time.
•Whenever possible, always
cook food covered (but not
sealed!). Only pastry dishes
with crust should be cooked
without a cover.
•There are several types of
covering suitable for microwave
use. Plastic film or glass lids
must always be checked to
ensure they can be used for
microwaving.
•Paper towels, napkins & wax
paper are useful loose covers
that can prevent ‘spitting’ and
keep moisture in your food.
•If you can’t find cooking details
for a specific quantity of food,
base the cooking time needed
on a similar type of food. You
should adjust the cooking time
accordingly.
•Double quantity = almost
double time: half quantity =
about half the time. Arrange
food carefully. Always place
thickest areas towards the
outside of the dish.
•Watch the cooking time. Cook
for the shortest amount of time
indicated and only cook for
longer if needed after checking
your food. Remember that
severely overcooked food can
smoke or ignite.
•Turn foods over once during
microwaving to speed cooking
of such foods as chicken and
hamburgers. Turn large items
like roasts at least once.
Remember that you will need to allow for standing time after you take your
food from your Microwave Oven. Denser foods will take longer to stand to
cool properly.
16
• Rearrange foods such as
meatballs halfway through
cooking, both from top to
bottom and from the centre of
the dish to the outside.
•Remember that refrigerated
food will need longer cooking
times.
even more time
Frozen food will require
to cook.
•Some soft vegetables (eg.
cauliflower, carrots, peas)
should be cooked with a little
water. However, mushrooms,
tomatoes and peppers should
be cooked without water. Try
to cut larger vegetables into
even-sized pieces. Always cook
vegetables in a covered
container and stir them from
time to time.
•Cook fatty pieces of meat (eg,
pork, poultry) on a non metallic
grid or inverted saucer inside a
suitable container. This will
allow the fat to drain away.
Cook leaner types of meat on a
browning skillet. Be sure to
turn once during the cooking
time.
•Ready meals – always make
sure that these are marked as
being suitable for microwaving.
Follow the instructions as
printed on the container such
as removing the foil lid or
pricking the plastic film.

Troubleshooting
PROBLEM
My food is too
dry!
My drinks,
soups and
liquids are
spurting up
from their
containers!
Turntable
doesn’t turn!
POSSIBLE CAUSE
Has been cooked
for too long / too
strongly
Your food/drink has
boiled over
Something is
blocking it
Turntable or
support isn’t
correctly connected
to the drive
TRY THIS
Next time, set a
shorter cooking
time or reduce the
microwave power
output.
Use a larger utensil
than usual.
Opening the door or
pressing the
‘STOP/CLEAR’ key
will stop boiling.
Make sure that your
food or ovenware
isn’t extending
beyond the
turntable.
Make sure the
turntable is
properly connected
& that nothing has
become wedged
under it.
Remember that many problems can be avoided if you
just follow the guidelines for using your Baumatic
Microwave Oven. Please see pages 6-7, 11-14 & 16.
