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

•

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.

•

Manufacturer declines all responsibility for any damage due to non­grounding of appliance.

•

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.

•

DO NOT USE IF THE SUPPLY CORD IS DAMAGED OR IF IT HAS BEEN
IMMERSED IN WATER.

•

DO NOT USE IF THE OVEN HAS BEEN DAMAGED OR DROPPED.

•

KEEP CORD AWAY FROM HEAT SOURCES.

Never Use Your Microwave to:

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

appliance unsupervised.

12

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

¾ Eggs in their shell or whole

hard-boiled eggs since
they may explode,
even after your
Microwave has
stopped heating them.

¾ 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.

¾ Foods that you intend to can

at home. There is no
way of ensuring that
foods intended for

BE MICROWAVED:

home canning have
reached the required
boiling temperature.

¾ Narrow-necked

containers like
syrup bottles – the
neck could explode.

¾ Never use your

Microwave when it is
empty. This is a fire
hazard.

¾ Sealed liquids and food

containers – these will
almost certainly
explode – NEVER
PLACE THEM IN YOUR
MICROWAVE!

_______________________

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

. Its surface

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

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.

* Double quantity = almost

double time: half quantity =
about half the time.

o Remember that refrigerated

food will need longer
cooking times.

will require even more time

Frozen food

to cook.

o Arrange food carefully. Always

place thickest areas towards
the outside of the dish.

o 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.

o Turn foods over once during

microwaving to speed
cooking of such foods as
chicken and hamburgers.
Turn large items like roasts
at least once.

o Rearrange foods such as

meatballs halfway through
cooking, both from top to
bottom and from the centre
of the dish to the outside.

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 even­sized 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 upside-down
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.

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.

¾

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.

¾ Clean the inside of your oven after use with a slightly damp cloth.

¾ Clean the glass turntable plate using washing-up liquid or in a

dishwasher.

¾ Clean the outside of 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.

¾ 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.

¾ Very stubborn stains can be removed using a soft nail brush.

¾ REMEMBER THAT CONDENSATION IS NORMAL. HEATING

FOOD AND DRINKS WILL INEVITABLY PRODUCE STEAM
WHICH, IN TURN LEADS TO CONDENSATION.

REMEMBER THAT THIS IS NORMAL!
