10. Cooking Tips

The following factors may affect the cooking result:
Food arrangement
Place thicker areas towards outside of dish, the thinner part towards the centre and spread it evenly. Do not overlap if possible.
Cooking time length
Start cooking with a short time setting, evaluate it after it times out and extend it according to the actual need. Over cooking may result in smoke and burns.
Cooking food evenly
Food such as chicken, hamburger or steak should be turned once during cooking. Depending on the type of food, if applicable, stir it from outside to centre of dish once or twice during cooking
Allow standing time
After cooking times out, leave the food in the oven for a adequate length of time, this allows it to complete its cooking cycle and cooling it down in a gradual manner
Whether the food is done
- Color and hardness of food help to determine if it is done, these include:
- Steam coming out from all parts of food, not just the edge
- Joints of poultry can be moved easily
- Pork or poultry shows no signs of blood
- Fish is opaque and can be sliced easily with a fork
Browning dish
When using a browning dish or self-heating container, always place a
Page 17
heat-resistant insulator such as a porcelain plate under it to prevent damage
16
to the turntable and rotating ring.
Microwave safe plastic wrap
When cooking food with high fat content, do not allow the plastic wrap come into contact with food as it may melt
Microwave safe plastic cookware
Some microwave safe plastic cookware might not be suitable for cooking foods with high fat and sugar content. Also, the preheating time specified in the dish instruction manual must not be exceeded

SERVICING SAFEGUARDS

MICROWAVE RADIATION

It is hazardous for anyone, other than a qualified service technician, to carry out any service for repairing operation which involves removal of any cover which gives protection against exposure to microwave energy.

The temperature of accessible surfaces may be high when the appliance is operating

The high voltage capacitor remains charge after disconnection; short the negative terminal of H. V capacitor to the oven chassis (use a screwdriver) to discharge before touching.

Page 20
During servicing below listed parts are liable to be removed and give access to
19
potentials above250V to earth.

1. Magnetron

2. High voltage transformer

3. High voltage capacitor

4. High voltage diode

5. High voltage fuse

The following conditions may cause undue microwave exposure during servicing.

Improper fitting of magnetron;

Improper matching of door interlock, door hinge and door;

Improper fitting of switch support;

Door, door seal or enclosure has been damaged.

1. if LED displays Err0 during working it indicates that sensor has been short
circuit and you need replace it at the nearest repaired department.
2. if LED displays Err1 during working it indicates that sensor has been open
circuit and you need replace it at the nearest repaired department.

If the door or door seals are damaged, the oven must not be operated until it has been repaired by a competent person;
