(a) Do not attempt to operate this oven with the door open since open-door

operation can result in harmful exposure to microwave energy. It is important not to defeat or tamper with the safety interlocks.

(b) Do not place any object between the oven front face and the door or allow

Utensils made of china and ceramic excellent to use in your microwave oven. Most types of glass are also very good. Lead crystal glass can crack and should therefore, not be used. Plastics and paper can also be used, provided they can withstand the temperature of the heated food. For cooking only use plastics, which will withstand a temperature of over 120°C, Eg. polypropene and polyamide. Some plastic materials, Eg. melamine, will be heated by the microwave, and be damaged. To find out if a certain container is suitable, the following simple test can be made:

Place the empty container and glass of water inside the microwave oven. The water is needed because the oven must not be operated empty or with empty containers only. Let the oven work on full power for one minute. A suitable container will only be lukewarm. Metal containers, Eg. saucepans or frying pans should not be used in microwave ovens. Nor should plates or vessels with decorations be used since metal Eg. gold, might be part of the decoration and such decorations will be damaged. Small pieces of aluminiuum foil can be used, but only to shield the areas that would over-cook (Eg. for covering chicken wings, leg tips and fish tails) but the foil must not touch the side of the oven as

TO AVOID EXPLOSION AND SUDDEN BOILIING

1. Eggs Never cook eggs in their shells. Steam will build up inside the shell during cooking and the egg will explode. If you want to cook or reheat eggs which have not been broken up by scrambling or mixing, you must always pierce the yolks or these will also explode. You should slice shelled hard boiled eggs before you reheat them in your microwave oven.

2. Piercing Always pierce food which has a skin or membrane, for example, potatoes, tomatoes, apples, sausages etc. if you don't pierce them, steam will build up inside and they may explode.

3. Lids Always remove the lids of jars and containers and take away food containers, before you cook using your microwave oven. If you don't, then steam and pressure might build up inside and cause an explosion even after the microwave cooking has stopped.

WHICH UTENSIL CAN BE USED IN THE OVEN?

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 not liquid. To prevent this possibility the following steps should be taken:

a. Avoid using straight sided containers with narrow

necks. b. Do not over heat. c. Stir the liquid before placing the container in the oven

and again halfway through the heating time. d. After heating, allow to stand in the oven for a short

time, stir or shake them again carefully and check the

temperature of them before consumption to avoid

burns (especially, contents of feeding bottles and

baby food jars).
