placed inside the oven to facilitate cooking.

(b) Remove wire twist-ties from bags before placing bag

in oven.

door closed, turn oven off, and disconnect the power cord, or shut off power at the fuse or circuit breaker panel.

17. Do not use this appliance to heat corrosive chemicals (for example, sulfides and chlorides). Vapors from such corrosive chemicals may interact with the contact and springs of the safety interlock switches thereby rendering them inoperable.

18. The contents of feeding bottles and baby jars must be stirred or shaken and the temperature is to be checked before consumption to avoid burns.

19. Should the microwave oven emit smoke in quantity to indicate a fire keep the oven door shut, switch the appliance off and disconnect the mains lead from the outlet.

20. When flammable food containers are used in the oven (eg packet popcorn) be sure to check the cooking process periodically in case fire has occured.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

General Use

Listed below are, as with all appliances, certain rules to follow and safeguards to assure top performance from this oven:

1. Do not use the oven for any reason other than food preparation, such as for drying clothes, paper, or any other nonfood items or for sterilizing purposes. They may catch on fire.

2. Do not use the oven when empty, this could damage the oven.

3. Do not use the oven cavity for any type of storage, such as papers, cookbook, cookware, etc.

4. Do not operate the oven without the turntable tray in place. Be sure it is properly sitting on the roller guide.

5. Be caution when removing the turntable tray after cooking meats that may have caused an accumulation of grease in the tray.

6. Do not leave the oven unattended during short cooking times. Overcooking and fire may result.

7. Do not cook eggs in the shell, as they will explode.

Occasionally a poached egg may burst during microwave cooking. Be sure to cook covered, and let stand one minute after cooking before removing the cover.

8. Do not cook any food surrounded by a membrane, such as egg yolks, potatoes, chicken livers, etc., without first piercing then several times with a fork.

9. Do not pop popcorn except in a microwave approved popcorn bag or in commercial package recommended especially for microwave ovens.

Never try to popcorn in a paper bag. If oil is used while making popcorn, overcooking may cause smoke and, eventually, fire.

10. Do not attempt to operate this appliance with the door open.

11. Do not attempt to remove covers, panel, etc.

12. Look at the oven from time to time when food is heated or cooked in disposable containers of plastic, paper or other combustible materials.

Utensils and cooking containers used in a microwave oven should be of a material that does not act as a barrier to microwave energy. Generally this means that you should cook in either (paper), plastic, glass or ceramic. Metal pans reflect microwave energy and inhibit cooking, and should not be used. In addition to material, the shape of the container should also be considered. Round oval shapes give the most even cooking. Square or rectangular containers may over-cook foods in the corners because more energy is absorbed there. Shallow containers give more even cooking results.

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¡ , 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 damage may occur.

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).

1. Without metal parts or metal trims.

2. Some plastics are heat-proof only to certain temperatures. Check carefully!

3. It is possible to use aluminium foil to shield deliate areas of food (this prevents over-cooking).

Caution:

¡ There are a number of accessories available on the

market. Before you buy, make sure they are suitable for microwave use.

¡ When you put food in the microwave oven, make sure that

food, food supports or covering do not come in direct contact with any of the internal walls or the ceiling of the cavity since discolouration may take place.

Before use, the user should check that utensils are suitable for use in microwave ovens.
