Installation and General Instructions

General Use

1. In order to maintain high quality, do not operate the oven when empty. The microwave energy will reÀ ect continuously throughout the oven if no food or water is present to absorb energy. This can lead to damage to the microwave oven including arcing within the oven cavity.

2. If smoke is observed, touch the key and leave door closed in order to stiÀ e any À ames. Disconnect the power cord, and/or shut off power at the fuse or circuit breaker panel.

3. The microwave oven is intended for heating food and beverages. Drying of food or clothing and heating of warming pads, slippers, sponges, damp cloth and similar may lead to risk of injury, ignition or ¿ re.

4. Do not use recycled paper products, unless the paper product is labeled as safe for microwave oven use. Recycled paper products may contain impurities which may cause sparks and/or ¿ res when used.

STOP/RESET

5. Do not use newspapers or paper bags for cooking.

6. Do not hit or strike the Control Panel. Damage to controls may occur.

7. POT HOLDERS may be needed as heat from food is transferred to the cooking container and from the container to the oven. The oven can be very hot after removing the cooking container.

8. Do not store À ammable materials next to, on top of, or in the oven. It could be a ¿ re hazard.

11. If the base of the oven is hot, allow to cool before cleaning or placing in water.

12. When using the CRISPY GRILL mode, never place any aluminum or metal container directly on the grill tray. Always insert a heat-proof, glass plate or dish between the and the aluminum container. This will prevent sparking that may damage the oven.

13. It is recommended not to use the metal tray when cooking in the MICROWAVE mode only.

14. During cooking, some steam will condense inside and/or on the oven door. This is normal and safe. Steam will disappear after the oven cools down.

15. Do not leave the microwave unattended while reheating or cooking food in disposable containers made of plastic, paper or other combustible materials, as these types of containers can ignite if overheated.

Placement of Oven

1. The oven must be placed on a À at, stable surface, more than 85 cm above the À oor. For correct operation, the oven must have suf¿ cient air À ow.

too high.

Food

1. Do not use your oven for home canning or the heating of any closed jar. Pressure will build up and the jar may explode. In addition, the microwave oven cannot maintain the food at the correct canning temperature. Improperly canned food may spoil and be dangerous to consume.

2. Do not attempt to deep fat fry in your microwave oven.

3. Do not boil eggs in their shell and whole hardboiled eggs (unless otherwise stated in Cooking Guide section). Pressure will build up and the eggs will explode.

4. Potatoes, apples, egg yolks, chicken wings, whole squash and sausages are examples of foods with nonporous skins. This type of food must be pierced before cooking, to prevent bursting.

5. When heating liquids, e.g. soup, 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 hot liquid. To prevent this possibility the following steps should be taken:

a) Avoid using straight-sided containers with

narrow necks. b) Do not overheat. c) Stir the liquid before placing the container in

the oven and halfway through cooking time. d) After heating, allow to stand in the oven for

a short time, stirring again before carefully

removing the container.

DO NOT USE A CONVENTIONAL MEAT

THERMOMETER IN THE MICROWAVE OVEN. To check the degree of cooking of roasts and poultry use a MICROWAVE THERMOMETER.

Alternatively, a conventional meat thermometer may be used after the food is removed from the oven. If undercooked, return meat or poultry to the oven and cook for a few more minutes at the recommended power level. It is important to ensure that meat and poultry are thoroughly cooked.

Microwaves and How They Work

Microwaves are a form of high frequency radio waves similar to those used by a radio, including AM, FM and CB. They are similar to a television where the radio waves are converted to a picture on the screen. However, microwaves are much shorter than radio waves; approximately twelve centimetres wave length. Electricity is converted into microwave energy by the magnetron tube (which is the heart of the microwave oven). From the magnetron tube, microwave energy is transmitted to the oven cavity. The microwaves are converted to heat in the food. The microwaves enter from the outside of the food and travel through the food losing half of their power every two to three centimetres. Continued cooking to the centre occurs by conduction. Although pacemakers used to be affected by microwaves (as well as by other radio waves), they are now shielded and are not bothered by these interferences. This allows people with pacemakers to sit calmly by their radio or television and cook with microwave ovens. When microwaves come in contact with a substance, any one or CRISPY GRILL of three things may occur. They can be:

1. REFLECTED

2. TRANSMITTED

3. ABSORBED

ReÀ ection:

Metal substances REFLECT microwave energy and because there is no absorption, there is no heating. This is why the oven interior is either stainless steel or epoxy-coated steel. This ensures that the microwaves are kept inside the cavity and evenly distributed throughout the food with the help of the turntable.

Transmission:

Such substances as paper, glass and plastic TRANSMIT microwave energy and do not become hot except from food. Because these substances do not reÀ ect or absorb microwave energy, they are ideal materials for microwave cooking containers.

Absorption:

Food contains moisture and will ABSORB microwave energy, which causes the moisture molecules within the food to vibrate at an incredible rate (2,450,000,000 times per second). Friction, created by the vibration, produces heat energy which is conducted throughout the food.

Cookware and Utensils Guide

It is important to use the correct container when cooking in a microwave oven. The following will help you make the right selection.

Paper Products and Freezer Wrap

Waxed paper, paper plates, cups and napkins should not be used for heating or cooking food. Freezer wrap should not be used as it is not heat resistant and may melt. Paper towel, greaseproof paper and bake paper may be safely used for short periods of time for covering or lining.

Glass, Ceramic and China

Heat-Resistant glass cookware

microwave cooking. Many of these items are readily available in most homes: glass jugs, mixing bowls, loaf dishes, covered casseroles, oblong baking dishes, pie plates and round or square cake dishes. Examples of this type of cookware are Pyrex® and Corningware®.

Dinnerware

Many brands of dinnerware are microwave safe. Check the care information for reference to microwave use for dinnerware and serving pieces. If dinnerware is marked ovenproof, it frequently is safe to use in the microwave oven. However, to be sure, check by conducting microwave dish test previously mentioned.

Several types of glassware and dinnerware

not recommended for use in the microwave oven. Do not use dishes with metallic trim or containers with metal parts. Do not use cups or mugs with glued on handles, as they may fall off with continued heating. Do not use delicate glassware.

Cookware and Utensils Guide

Plastic

Plastic dishes, cups and some freezer containers

should be used with care in a microwave oven. Choose plastic containers carefully, as some plastic containers may become soft, melt and may scorch. The majority of plastic dishes, even those designed for use in the microwave oven, are not suitable for cooking foods with high fat or sugar content, or for lengthy cooking times. Most microwave plastic dishes should not be used for longer than 3 to 5 minutes

Cooking Bags

freezing, or conventional heating are microwave safe. Prepare bags according to manufacturer’s directions. When cooking by microwave, DO NOT use wire twist-ties to close bag. They can act as an antenna and cause arcing (sparks). DO NOT COOK IN PLASTIC FOOD STORAGE BAGS.

Plastic Wrap

power. These dishes, although not suitable

designed to withstand boiling,

such as GLAD WRAP® can be used

Metal

Metal cookware or utensils, or those with metallic trim, should NOT be used in the microwave. Since microwave energy is reÀ ected by metal, foods in metal containers will not cook evenly. There is also a possibility of “arcing”. Although metal utensils should be avoided in microwave cooking, some metal can be helpful when used correctly. Aluminum foil can be used safely, if certain guidelines are followed, to prevent overcooking. Small pieces of foil are used to shield areas such as chicken wings, tips of roasts, or other thin parts that cook before the rest of the recipe is ¿ nished. Make sure foil is attached securely and doesn’t touch sides of oven, otherwise arcing may occur. Foil lined containers, either cardboard or plastic, should NOT be used in the microwave oven as arcing could occur.

Metal twist-ties, either paper or plastic coated, should NOT be used in the microwave oven. Frozen dinner trays can be used in the microwave, if the container is no deeper than 2 cm and is ¿ lled with food. Metal skewers can not be used in microwave ovens as arcing may occur. Wooden skewers are readily available and give the same result.

Shells:

Scalloped baking shells are best used during

reheating and for short periods of cooking time only.

Jars and Bottles

Jars and bottles can be used to warm food to serving temperature, if the lid is removed ¿ rst. Cooking should not be done in these containers since most are not heat resistant and during extended heating times, heat from food would cause cracking or breaking.

Thermometers

Straw, Wicker and Wood

Straw and wicker baskets may be used in the microwave oven for short periods of time to warm rolls or bread. Large wooden utensils, such as bowls or cutting boards should NOT be used for prolonged heating as the microwave energy may cause the wood to become dry and brittle.
