Safety Information
PLEASE READ BEFORE USING!
(To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, injury or exposure
to Mircowave energy)
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
NOTE - This appliance must be grounded. In the event of a
•1
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.
•2
Manufacturer declines all responsibility for any damage due to nongrounding of appliance.
•3
DURING THE GUARANTEE PERIOD ONLY BAUMATIC SERVICE ENGINEERS OR
AN AUTHORISED AGENT OF BAUMATIC SHOULD CARRY OUT REPAIRS ON
THIS UNIT. THEREAFTER, IT SHOULD BE SERVICED ONLY BY QUALIFIED
TECHNICIANS.

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

Placing Your Microwave Oven
o ONCE YOU ARE SURE THAT YOUR OVEN IS NOT DAMAGED (EG. DENTS
OR A BROKEN DOOR) AND THAT THERE ARE NO PACKING MATERIALS
AND ACCESSORIES INSIDE IT, YOU CAN THEN INSTALL IT ON A FLAT
SURFACE SUCH AS A COUNTERTOP. BE SURE THAT THE SURFACE CAN
HOLD AT LEAST YOUR MICROWAVE’S WEIGHT (14.0 kg).
o
BEFORE PLACING ON YOUR COUNTERTOP: REMOVE ANY PROTECTIVE
FILM ON THE CABINET SURFACE.
o BUT DO NOT REMOVE THE LIGHT BROWN MICA COVER THAT IS SCREWED TO
THE OVEN CAVITY TO PROTECT THE MAGNETRON.
o FIND A LEVEL SURFACE THAT PROVIDES ENOUGH OPEN SPACE FOR
THE INTAKE AND OUTLET VENTS.
o YOU NEED TO LEAVE A MINIMUM OF 3.0 INCHES (7.5 CM) BETWEEN
THE OVEN AND ANY ADJACENT WALL. ONE SIDE MUST BE LEFT OPEN
FOR PROPER AIR FLOW.
o LEAVE A MINIMUM CLEARANCE OF 12 INCHES (30CM) ABOVE
THE OVEN.
o DO NOT REMOVE THE LEGS FROM THE BOTTOM OF THE OVEN.
o DON’T LET ANYTHING BLOCK EITHER THE INTAKE OR THE
OUTLET OPENINGS AS THIS CAN DAMAGE THE OVEN.
o PLACE YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN AS FAR AWAY AS POSSIBLE FROM
RADIOS AND TELEVISIONS - YOUR OVEN MAY CAUSE SIGNAL
INTERFERENCE.
DO NOT PUT YOUR OVEN ON TOP OF ANY OTHER HEAT-

Page 11
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
Nootteess oonn

FFoooodd
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.
o Whenever possible, always cook food covered (but not
sealed!). Only pastry dishes with crust should be cooked
without a cover.
o 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.
o Paper towels, napkins & wax paper are useful loose covers
that can prevent ‘spitting’ and keep moisture in your food.
o 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.
o Double quantity = almost double time: half quantity = about
half the time.
o Remember that refrigerated food will need longer cooking
times.
o 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.
o 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.
o 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.
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.

Cleaning
Note: never use abrasive cleaning substances or coarse cleaning materials
to clean your Microwave. Your Microwave requires a minimum of
maintenance. Remember that after you clean the turntable and its ring
assembly, you must place them correctly otherwise your Microwave will
not work properly.
1
Always keep the door seal surfaces clean!
o You can do this by wiping them down regularly
with a damp cloth so that any grease, food debris
or spatters will not build up.
o THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT AS LETTING SUCH
SUBSTANCES COLLECT CAN RESULT IN LEAKAGE OF
MICROWAVE ENERGY FROM YOUR OVEN.
2 Clean the inside of your oven after use with a slightly damp cloth.
3 Clean the glass turntable plate using washing-up liquid or in a
dishwasher.
4 Clean the outside your Microwave Oven with a soft cloth and a
mild, warm detergent solution. Be careful not to let water get into
any of the fan portholes or over the power cord.
5 Odours can be eliminated from the inside of your oven by boiling a
solution of one cup of water and several tablespoons of lemon juice
in the cavity.
6 Very stubborn stains can be removed using a soft nail brush.
7 REMEMBER THAT CONDENSATION IS NORMAL. HEATING
FOOD AND DRINKS WILL INEVITABLY PRODUCE STEAM
WHICH IN TURN LEADS TO CONDENSATION. REMEMBER
THAT THIS IS NORMAL.
