INFORMATION YOU NEED TO KNOW
ABOUT YOUR OVEN
This manual is valuable: read it carefully and always save it for reference.
A good microwave cookbook is a valuable asset. Check it for microwave cooking principles,
techniques, hints and recipes.
NEVER use the oven without the turntable and
support nor turn the turntable over so that a large
dish could be placed in the oven. The turntable will
turn both clockwise and counterclockwise.
ALWAYS have food in the oven when it is on to
absorb the microwave energy.
When using the oven at power levels below 100%,
you may hear the magnetron cycling on and o .
It is normal for the exterior of the oven to be warm
to the touch when cooking or reheating.
ABOUT FOOD
FOOD DO DON'T

• Pierce skins of potatoes, apples,
squash, hot dogs and sausages
so that steam escapes.
the microwave oven.
• Listen while popping corn for the
popping to slow to 1 or 2 seconds or
use special Popcorn pad.
Condensation is a normal part of microwave cooking.
Room humidity and the moisture in food will in uence
the amount of moisture that condenses in the oven.
Generally, covered foods will not cause as much
condensation as uncovered ones. Vents on the oven
back must not be blocked.
The oven is for food preparation only. It should not be
used to dry clothes or newspapers.
Your oven is rated 1200 watts by using the IEC Test
Procedure. In using recipes or package directions,
check food a minute or two before the minimum time
and add time accordingly.
• Don't cook eggs in shells.
• Don't use SENSOR REHEAT for whole eggs.
Don't dry nuts or seeds in shells.
• Don't pop popcorn in regular brown bags
or glass bowls.
• Don't exceed maximum time on
popcorn package.
Baby food • Transfer baby food to small dish
and heat carefully, stirring often.
Check temperature before serving.
• Put nipples on bottles after heating
and shake thoroughly.
'Wrist' test before feeding.
General • Cut baked goods with lling after
heating to release steam and
avoid burns.
• Stir liquids briskly before and after
heating to avoid 'eruption'.
• Use deep bowl, when cooking liquids or
cereals, to prevent boilovers.

INFORMATION YOU NEED TO KNOW
ABOUT UTENSILS AND COVERINGS
It is not necessary to buy all new cookware.
Many pieces already in your kitchen can be used
successfully in your new microwave oven.
Make sure the utensil does not touch the interior
walls during cooking.
Use these utensils for safe
microwave cooking and reheating:
glass ceramic (Pyroceram®), such as Corningware®.
•
heat-resistant glass (Pyrex®)
•
microwave-safe plastics
•
paper plates
•
microwave-safe pottery, stoneware and porcelain
•
browning dish (Do not exceed recommended
•
preheating time. Follow manufacturer's directions.)
The following coverings are ideal:
Paper towels are good for covering foods for
•
reheating and absorbing fat while cooking bacon.
Wax paper can be used for cooking and reheating.
•
Plastic wrap that is specially marked for microwave
•
use can be used for cooking and reheating.
DO NOT allow plastic wrap to touch food.
Vent so steam can escape.
Lids that are microwave-safe are a good choice
•
because heat is kept near the food to hasten
cooking.
Oven cooking bags are good for large meats
•
or foods that need tenderizing. DO NOT use
metal twist ties. Remember to slit bag so steam
can escape.
These items can be used for short time reheating
of foods that have little fat or sugar in them:
wood, straw, wicker.
•
DO NOT USE
metal pans and bakeware
•
dishes with metallic trim
•
non-heat-resistant glass
•
non-microwave-safe plastics (margarine tubs)
•
recycled paper products
•
brown paper bags
•
food storage bags
•
metal twist-ties
•
Should you wish to check if a dish is safe for
microwaving, place the empty dish in the oven and
microwave on HIGH for 30 seconds. A dish which
becomes very hot should not be used.
ABOUT CHILDREN AND THE MICROWAVE
Children below the age of 7 should use the microwave
oven with a supervising person very near to them.
Between the ages of 7 and 12, the supervising person
should be in the same room.
The child must be able to reach the oven comfortably;
if not, he/she should stand on a sturdy stool.
At no time should anyone be allowed to lean or
swing on the oven door.
How to use aluminum foil in your
microwave oven:
Small at pieces of aluminum foil placed
•
smoothly on the food can be used to shield areas
that are either defrosting or cooking too quickly.
Foil should not come closer than one inch to
•
any surface of the oven.
Should you have questions about utensils or coverings,
check a good microwave cookbook or follow recipe
suggestions.
ACCESSORIES
There are many microwave accessories available
for purchase. Evaluate carefully before you purchase
so that they meet your needs. A microwave-safe
thermometer will assist you in determining correct
doneness and assure you that foods have been
cooked to safe temperatures. Fisher & Paykel is
not responsible for any damage to the oven when
accessories are used.
Children should be taught all safety precautions:
use potholders, remove coverings carefully,
pay special attention to packages that crisp food
because they may be extra hot.
Don’t assume that because a child has mastered one
cooking skill he/she can cook everything.
Children need to learn that the microwave oven
is not a toy. See page 25 for Child Lock feature.

INFORMATION YOU NEED TO KNOW
ABOUT MICROWAVE COOKING
Arrange food carefully. Place thickest areas towards
•
outside of dish.
Watch cooking time. Cook for the shortest amount
•
of time indicated and add more as needed.
Food severely overcooked can smoke or ignite.
Cover foods while cooking. Check recipe or
•
cookbook for suggestions: paper towels, wax paper,
microwave plastic wrap or a lid. Covers prevent
spattering and help foods to cook evenly.
Shield with small at pieces of aluminum foil any
•
thin areas of meat or poultry to prevent overcooking
before dense, thick areas are cooked thoroughly.
Stir foods from outside to center of dish once or
•
twice during cooking, if possible.
Turn foods over once during microwaving to
•
speed cooking of such foods as chicken and
hamburgers. Large items like roasts must be
turned over at least once.
Rearrange foods such as meatballs halfway
•
through cooking both from top to bottom
and from the center of the dish to the outside.
Add standing time. Remove food from oven
•
and stir, if possible. Cover for standing time
which allows the food to nish cooking without
overcooking.
Check for doneness. Look for signs indicating
•
that cooking temperatures have been reached.
Doneness signs include:
– Food steams throughout, not just at edge.
– Center bottom of dish is very hot to the touch.
– POULTRY thigh joints move easily.
– Meat and poultry show no pinkness.
– Fish is opaque and akes easily with a fork.
ABOUT SAFETY
Check foods to see that they are cooked to the
•
United States Department of Agriculture's
recommended temperatures.
TEMP FOOD
160°F ... for fresh pork, ground meat,
boneless white poultry, sh,
seafood, egg dishes and frozen
prepared food.
165°F ... for leftover, ready-to-SENSOR
REHEAT refrigerated, and deli
and carry-out 'fresh' food.
170°F ... white meat of poultry.
180°F ... dark meat of poultry.
To test for doneness, insert a meat thermometer
in a thick or dense area away from fat or bone.
NEVER leave the thermometer in the food during
cooking, unless it is approved for microwave oven use.
ALWAYS use potholders to prevent burns when
•
handling utensils that are in contact with hot food.
Enough heat from the food can transfer through
utensils to cause skin burns.
Avoid steam burns by directing steam away from
•
the face and hands. Slowly lift the farthest edge
of a dish's covering and carefully open popcorn
and oven cooking bags away from the face.
Stay near the oven while it's in use and check
•
cooking progress frequently so that there is no
chance of overcooking food.
NEVER use the cavity for storing cookbooks or
•
other items.
Select, store and handle food carefully to preserve
•
its high quality and minimize the spread of
foodborne bacteria.
Keep waveguide cover clean. Food residue can
•
cause arcing and/or res.
Use care when removing items from the oven
•
so that the utensil, your clothes or accessories
do not touch the safety door latches.
