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.

Page 5

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).

Glass (general) Yes (1) Glass (heat resistant) Yes Glass-ceramic and

ceramic (heat resistant) Yes (1) Earthenware Yes China (heat resistant) Yes Plastic (general) Yes (2) Plastic (heat resistant) Yes (2) Aluminium foil con-

tainers/aluminium foil Yes (3) Metal baking tins No Metal (pots.pans, etc) No Paper Yes

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.

GENERAL COOKING HINTS

1. When cook a roast with an excess amount of drippings,it is helpful to remove the drippinngs at turnover time to prevent

spattering.

2. Prick the meats, fish or poultry with a fork to prevent bursting.

Steam builds up pressure in meats,fish or poultry which are tightly covered by a skin or membrane.

3. Reduce suggested cooking times,It is always better to undercook foods rather than to oven-cook them.

If a range of times is stated in a recipe, cook the minimun suggested time, check for doneness, and then cook slightly longer if necessary.

STAGE COMBINATIONS

GENERAL GUIDELINES

Since microwave cooking to some extent is different from traditional cooking, the following general guidelines should be considered whenever you use your microwave oven:

If the food is undercooked

Check if:

¡ You have selected the correct power level. ¡ the selected time is sufficient-the times given in the recipes

are approximate. They depend on initial temperature, weight and density of the food etc.

¡ the container is appropriate.

If the food is overcooked,i.e. dried out or burnt

Before you cook again, consider whether:

¡ the power level was too high. ¡ the set time was too long-the times in the recipes are

approximate. They depend on initial temperature, weight and density of the food etc.

Points to remember when defrosting

¡ The shape of the package alters the defrosting time.

Shallow rectangular packets defrost more quickly than a deep block.

¡ Separate pieces as they begin to defrost; free-flow slices

defost; free-flow slices defrost more easily.

¡ Shield areas of food with small pieces of foil if they start to

become warm.

¡ When defrosting, it is better to under thaw the food slightly

and allow the process to finish during the standing time.

The amount of food

The more food you want to prepare the longer it takes. A rule of turmb is that double amount of food requires almost double the time. If one potato takes four minutes to cook, approximately seven minutes are required to cook two potatoes.

Starting temperature of food

The lower the temperature of the food which is being put into the microwave oven, the longer time it takes. Food at room temperature will be reheated more quickly than food at refrigerator temperature.

Composition of the food

Food with a lot of fat and sugar will be heated faster than food containing a lot of water. fat and sugar will also reach a higher temperature than water in the cooking process. The more dense the food, the longer it takes to heat. ¡ Very dense" food like meat takes longer time to reheat than lighter, more porous food like sponge cakes.

Size and shape

Smaller pieces of food will cook more quickly than larger pieces and uniform pieces of food cook more evenly than irregularly shaped foods. With unevenly shaped food, the thinner parts will cook faster than the thicker areas. Place the thinner chicken wings and legs to the centre of the dish.

Stirring, turning of foods

Stirring and turning of foods are techniques used in conventional and well as in microwave cooking to distribute the heat quickly to the centre of the dish and avoids overcooking at the outer edges of the food.

Covering food helps:

¡ To reduce spattering ¡ To shorten cooking times ¡ To retain food moisture

All covering, which will allow microwaves to pass through are suitable-See above ¡ Which utensils can be used in the oven¡–

Releasing pressure in foods

Several foods are tightly covered by a skin or membrane. These foods should be picked with a fork or cocktail stick to relieve the pressure and to prevent bursting, as steam builds up within them during cooking. This applies to jacket potatoes, potatoes, chicken livers, sausages, egg yolks and some fruits.

Standing time

Always allow the food to stand for some time after using the oven. standing time after defrosting, cooking/reheating always improves the result since the temperature will then be evenly distributed through out the food. In a microwave oven foods continue to cook even when the microwave energy is turned off. They are no longer cooking by microwaves, but they are still being cooked by the conduction of the high residual heat to the centre of the food. The length of standing time depends on the volume and density of the food. Sometimes if can be as short as the time it takes you to remove the food from the oven and take it to the serving table. However, with larger, denser foods, the standiing time may be as long as 10minutes. Upon

¡ﬁstanding¡ﬂ, the internal temperature of the food will rise by as

much as 8¡ and the food will finish cooking during this time.

Arranging food

This is done in several ways in microwave cooking to give more even cooking results. If you are cooking several items of the same food such as jacket potatoes, place them in a ring pattern for uniform cooking. When cooking foods of uneven shapes or thickness, place the smaller or thinner area of the food towards the centre of the dish where it will be heated last.

Uneven foods such as fish should be arranged in the oven with the tails to the centre. If you are saving a meal in the refrigerator or

¡ﬁplating¡ﬂa meal for reheating, arrange the

thicker, denser foods to the outside of the plate and the thinner or less dense foods in the middle. Place thin slices of meat on top of each other or interlace them. Thicker slices such as meat loaf and sausages have to be placed close to each other. Gravy or sauce should be reheated in a separate container.

Choose a tall, narrow container rather than a low and wide container. When reheating gravy, sauce or soup, do not fill the container more than 2/3.

When you cook or reheat whole fish, score the skin this prevents cracking. Shield the tail and head with small pieces of foil to prevent over-cooking but ensure the foil does not touch the sides of the oven.
