Testing suitability of cookwareFood safety
• Place the cookware in the microwave a long with a
glass half full of water. Heat on 800 W (100%) for
one minute. If the cookware feels hot , you should
not use it. If it is just slightly warm, you can use it
for reheating but not for cooking. If the dish is
room temperature, it is suitable f or microwave
cooking.
• Paper napkins, wax paper, paper towels, plates,
cups, cartons, freezer wrap and cardbo ard are
great convenience utensils. Always be sure
containers are filled with food to absorb energy
and thus avoid the possibility of overheating.
• Many plastic dishes, cups, freezer containers and
plastic wraps may be used in the microwave
oven. Follow manufacturer’s instructions when
using plastics in the oven. Avoid using plastic
utensils with foods that have high f at or sugar
content since these foods reach high
temperatures and could melt some plastics.
Do not leave oven unatt ended, and look at it from
•
time to time when heating or cooking food in
plastic, paper or other combustible cont ainers. If
smoke is observed, keep door closed, switch the
oven off or disconnect oven until smoke stops.
Metal utensils and utensils with metallic trim
•
should not be used in the microwav e oven, unless
specifically recommended for microwave use.
Containers with restricted openings, such as
•
bottles, should not be used for microw ave
cooking.
Use caution when removing a lid or cover fr om a
•
dish to avoid steam burns.
Do not heat food in a can in the microw ave oven.
•
Always remove the food to a suitable co nt ainer.
Deep fat frying should not be done in the
•
microwave oven, because the fat t emperature
cannot be controlled, hazardous sit uations can
result.
Popcorn may be prepared in the microwave oven,
•
but only in special packages or uten sils designed
specifically for this purpose. This cooking
operation should never be unat tended.
Pierce foods with non-porous skins or
•
membranes to prevent steam build-up and
bursting. Apples, potatoes, chicken livers, and
egg yolks are examples of items that should be
pierced.
WARNING: When heating liquids, e.g. soups, sauces
and beverages in your microwave oven, overheating
the liquid beyond boiling p oint can occur without
evidence of bubbling. This could result in a sudden
boil over of the hot liquid. T o prevent this possibility
the following steps should be taken:
1. Avoid using straight-sided cont ainers with narrow
necks.
2. Do not overheat.
3. Stir the liquid before placin g the container in the
oven and again halfway through the heating time.
4. After heating, allow to st and in the oven for a
short time, stirring again before carefully removing
the container.
Some products such as whole eggs and seal ed
•
containers – for example, closed glass jars – may
explode and should not be heat ed in t his oven.
Occasionally, poached eggs may ex plode during
cooking. Always pierce the yolk, then cover and
allow the standing time of one minut e before
removing cover.
NOTE:
Do not force the turntable to rot at e by hand. This
•
may cause malfunctioning.
Arcing in the oven during microwave operation
•
usually occurs from use of metallic utensils.
Continuous arcing, howev er, can damage the

Microwave Tips
Microwave Hints
Always keep the oven clean – avoid spillovers
•
and do not forget to clean under the glass tray
and the inside of the door.
Preferably use round or oval casseroles with a lid
•
when cooking in your microwave oven.
Do not use metal or metal decorated casseroles.
•
Certain plastic materials can melt an d be warped
by hot food.
Cover the food when cooking. Use a glass lid, a
•
plate or grease proof paper.
Pastry, bread and the like can be defrosted
•
directly in a bread basket or on a paper towel.
If frozen food is heated in its packaging, the
•
packaging should be opened. Packaging
containing metal or metal decoration must not be
used unless specifically recommended for use in
the microwave. Remove metal clips and wire ties.
Smaller pieces of aluminium foil can be used to
•
cover parts that easily over cook such as chicken
legs.
Food with peel or skin should be pierced with a
•
fork – e.g. potatoes and sausages. Do not boil
eggs in the microwave oven as they can explode.
Put large, thick pieces close to the edge of the
•
casserole and try to cut the food in t o even sized
pieces. Always place the food in the cent re of the
oven.
The food will be evenly cooked if you stir or turn it
•
a few times.
Always set a shorter cooking time than indicat ed
•
in your recipe to avoid over cooking. The larger
the amount of food the longer it takes.
Use little or no water for vegetables.
•
Use less salt and spices than for ‘normal’ co oking.
•
Season afterwards.
•
Allow a few minutes ‘standing ’ time after the oven
•
has switched off to ensure complete and even
cooking results.
Always ensure food is piping hot throughout
•
before serving.
Use pot holders or gloves when taking dishes and
•
food from the oven.

•
Use medium power for few seconds.
Peeling Garlic easily
•
Heat 3 or 4 cloves of garlic on high power f or
15 seconds. Squeeze at one end until t he
clove pops out.
Fruit Juice
•
Citrus fruits will yield more juice if they are
heated on high power for 15 seconds bef ore
squeezing.
Cooking Porridge

Care and cleanin
The oven must always be clean. Residu e of food from spillovers or spatters wil l at tract microwave energy
causing it to burn on. This could reduce the efficiency of the oven and may cause bad odours. Do not attempt
to tamper with or make any adjustments or repa irs to any part of the oven. Repairs should only be done by a
qualified service technician.
Be sure the oven is disconnected from the electricity supply before cleaning.
Cleaning the accessories (turntable and support)
Clean them with mild deterge nt after removing them from the cavity. T he turntable support should be careful ly
handled.
CAUTION: The inside of the oven and turntable get very hot, so do not touch them immediately after use.
Cleaning the interior
Always keep the inside of the oven clea n. Wipe up spillovers and food spatters immediately. Deposits that are
allowed to remain on the oven walls, door seal and door surface will absorb microwave energy, reduce the
efficiency of the oven, and possibly damage the oven interior. Use mild, liquid detergent, warm water and a
soft, clean cloth to remove deposits.
NEVER USE ABRASIVE CLEANERS, COMMERCIAL OVEN CLEANERS OR STEEL WOOL PADS ON
ANY PART OF THE MICROWAVE OVEN.
To loosen difficult depos its, boil a cup of water in the microwave ov en f or 2 or 3 minutes.
NEVER USE A KNIFE OR ANY UTENSIL TO REMOVE DEPOSITS FROM OVEN SURFACES.
To remove odours from the oven interior, boil a cup of water plus 2 tablespoons of lemon juice for 5 minutes.
Cleaning the exterior
Open the oven door when cleaning the control panel. This wil l prevent the oven from being turned on
accidentally. You should clean out side surfaces of the oven with mild li quid detergent and water followed by a
wiping with clear water to remove any excess detergent. Dry with a soft cloth.
Spray-on window cleaners or all purpose spray-on kitchen cleaners can also be us ed. Never use abrasive
cleaners, scouring pads or harsh chemicals on out side surfaces of your oven. To prevent damage to t he
working parts, do not allow water to seep into ventilation openings.
