Safety Precautions

PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO
EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY

Failure to observe the following safety precautions may result in harmful exposure to
microwave energy.
(a) Under no circumstancesshould any attemptbemade tooperatethe oven with

the door open ortotamperwith the safety interlocks(doorlatches) or to insert
anything into the safety interlock holes.

(b) Do not place any object between the oven door and front face or allow food or

cleaner residues to accumulate on sealing surfaces. Ensure that the door and
door sealing surfaces are kept clean bywipingafterusefirstwith a damp cloth
and then with a soft dry cloth.

(c) Do not operate the oven if it is damaged until it has been repaired by a

qualified microwave service technician trained by the manufacturer.
It is particularly important that the oven door closes properly and that there is
no damage to the:
(1) Door, door seals and sealing surfaces
(2) Door hinges (broken or loose)
(3) Power cable

(d) The oven should not be adjusted or repaired by anyone other than a properly

qualified microwave service technician trained by the manufacturer.

Important Safety Instructions.
Read Carefully and keep for future reference.
Before cooking food or liquids in your microwave oven, please check

that the following safety precautions are taken.

1. DO NOT use any metallic cookware in the microwave oven:

• Metallic containers

• Dinnerware with gold or silver trimmings

• Skewers, forks, etc.
Reason:

2. DO NOT heat:

• Airtight or vacuum-sealedbottles,jars,containers

• Airtightfood.
Reason:

Tip:

3. DO NOT operate the microwave oven when it is empty.
Reason:
Tip:

4. DO NOT cover the rear ventilation slots with cloths or paper.
Reason:

5. ALWAYS use oven gloves when removing a dish from the oven.
Reason:

Electric arcing or sparking may occur and may damage the oven.

Ex) Baby food jars
Ex) Eggs, nuts in shells, tomatoes

The increase in pressure may cause them to explode.
Remove lids and pierce skins, bags, etc.

Theovenwallsmaybedamaged.
Leave a glass of water inside the oven at all times.
The water will absorb the microwaves if you accidentally set the
oven going when it is empty.

The cloths or paper may catch fire as hot air is evacuated from the
oven.

Some dishes absorb microwaves and heat is always transferred
from the food to the dish. The dishes are therefore hot.

GB

6. DO NOT touch interior oven walls.

Reason:

These walls may be hot enough to burn even after cooking has
finished, even though they do not appear to be so. Do not allow
inflammable materials to comeintocontactwith any interior area of
the oven. Let the oven cool down first.

Safety Precautions(continued)

7. Toreducetheriskoffireintheovencavity:

GB

• Do not store flammable materials in the oven

• Remove wire twist ties from paper or plastic bags

• Do not use your microwave oven to dry newspapers.

• If smoke is observed, keep the oven door closed and switch off or
disconnect the oven from the power supply

8. Take particular care when heating liquids and baby foods.

• ALWAYS allow a standing time of at least 20 seconds after the oven has
been switched off so that the temperature can equalize.Stir during
heating, if necessary, and ALWAYS stir after heating.

• Take care when handling the container after heating. You may burn
yourself if the container is too hot.

• A risk of delayed eruptive boiling exists.

• To prevent delayed boiling and possible scalding, you should put a plastic
spoon or glass stick into the beverages and stir before, during and after
heating.
Reason:

• In the event of scalding, follow these FIRST AID instructions:
* Immerse the scalded area in cold water for at least 10 minutes.

* Cover with a clean, dry dressing.
* Do not apply any creams, oils or lotions.

• NEVER fill the container to the top and choose a container that is wider at
the top than at the bottom to prevent the liquid from boiling over. Bottles
with narrow necks may also explode if overheated.

• ALWAYS check the temperature of baby food or milk before giving it to
the baby.

• NEVER heat a baby’s bottle with the teat on, as the bottle may explode if
overheated.

During the heating of liquids the boiling point can be delayed;
this means that eruptive boiling can start after the container is
removed from the oven. You may scald yourself.

13. When the microwave oven is operating without any load, the power will be cut
off automatically for safety. You can operate normally after letting it stand for
over 30 minutes.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Cookware Guide

To cook food in the microwave oven, the microwaves must be able to
penetrate the food, without being reflected or absorbed by the dish
used.

Care must therefore be taken when choosing the cookware. If the
cookware is marked microwave-safe, you do not need to worry.

The following table lists various types of cookware and indicates
whether and how they should be used in a microwave oven.

Cooking Guide

MICROWAVES

GB

Microwave energy actually penetrates food, attracted and absorbed by its water, fat
and sugar content.
The microwaves cause the molecules in the food to move rapidly. The rapid movement
of these molecules creates friction and the resulting heat cooks the food.

COOKING

Cookware for microwave cooking:

Cookware must allow microwave energy to pass through it for maximum efficiency.
Microwaves are reflected by metal, such as stainless steel, aluminium and copper, but
they can penetrate through ceramic, glass, porcelain and plastic as well as paper and
wood. So food must never be cooked in metal containers.

Food suitable for microwave cooking:

Many kinds of food are suitable for microwave cooking, including fresh or frozen
vegetables, fruit, pasta, rice, grains, beans, fish, and meat. Sauces, custard, soups,
steamed puddings, preserves, and chutneys can also be cooked in a microwave oven.
Generally speaking, microwave cooking is ideal for any food that would normally be
prepared on a hob. Melting butter or chocolate, for example (see the chapter with tips,
techniques and hints).

Covering during cooking

To cover the food during cooking is very important, as the evaporated water rises as
steam and contributes to cooking process. Food can be covered in different ways: e.g.
with a ceramic plate, plastic cover or microwave suitable cling film.

Standing times

After cooking is over, standing time for the food is important to allow the temperature to
even outwithinthe food.

Cooking Guide for frozen vegetables

Use a suitable glass pyrex bowl with lid. Cook covered for the minimum time - see
table. Continue cooking to get the result you prefer. Stir twice during cooking and once
after cooking. Add salt, herbs or butter after cooking. Cover during standing time.

REHEATING

GB

Your microwave oven will reheat food in a fraction of the time that conventional ovens
hobs normally take.
Use the power levels and reheating times in the following chart as a guide. The times in
the chart consider liquids with a room temperature of about +18 to +20°C or a chilled
food with a temperature of about +5 to +7°C.

Arranging and covering

Avoid reheating large items such as joint of meat - they tend to overcook and dry out
before the centre is piping hot. Reheating small pieces will be more successful.

Power levels and stirring

Some foods can be reheated using 900 W power while others should be reheated
using 600 W, 450 W or even 300 W.
Check the tables for guidance. In general, it is better to reheat food using a lower
power level, if the food is delicate, in large quantities, or if it is likely to heat up very
quickly (mince pies, for example).
Stir well or turn food over during reheating for best results. When possible, stir again
before serving.
Take particular care when heating liquids and baby foods. To prevent eruptive boiling
of liquids and possible scalding , stir before, during and after heating. Keep them in the
microwave oven during standing time. We recommend putting a plastic spoon or glass
stick into the liquids. Avoid overheating (and therefore spoiling) the food.
It is preferable to underestimate cooking time and add extra heating time, if necessary.

Heating and standing times

When reheating food for the first time, it is helpful to make a note of the time taken - for
future reference.
Always make sure that the reheated food is piping hot throughout.
Allow food to stand for a short time after reheating - to let the temperature even out.
The recommended standing time after reheating is 2-4 minutes, unless another time is
recommended in the chart.
Take particular care when heating liquids and baby food. See also the chapter with the
safety precautions.

REHEATING LIQUIDS

Always allow a standing time of at least 20 seconds after the oven has been switched
off to allow the temperature to even out. Stir during heating, if necessary, and ALWAYS
stir after heating. To prevent eruptive boiling and possible scalding, you should put a
plastic spoon or glass stick into the beverages and stir before, during and after heating.

REHEATING BABY FOOD

BABY FOOD:

Empty into a deep ceramic plate. Cover with plastic lid. Stir well after reheating! Let
stand for 2-3 minutes before serving. Stir again and check the temperature.
Recommended serving temperature: between 30-40°C.

BABY MILK:

Pour milk into a sterilised glass bottle. Reheat uncovered. Never heat a baby's bottle
with teat on, as the bottle may explode if overheated. Shake well before standing time
and again before serving ! Always carefully check the temperature of baby milk or food
before giving it to the baby. Recommended serving temperature: ca. 37°C.

REMARK:

Baby food particularly needs to be checked carefully before serving to prevent burns.
Use the power levels and times in the next table as a guide lines for reheating.

DEFROSTING

GB

Microwaves are an excellent way of defrosting frozen food. Microwaves gently defrost
frozen food in a short period of time. This can be of great advantage, if unexpected
guests suddenly show up.

Frozen poultry must be thoroughly thawed before cooking. Remove any metal ties and
take it out of any wrapping to allow thawed liquid to drain away.

Put the frozen food on a dish without cover. Turn over half way, drain off any liquid and
remove any giblets as soon as possible.
Check the food occasionally to make sure that it does not feel warm.
If smaller and thinner parts of the frozen food start to warm up, they can be shield by
wrapping very small strips of aluminium foil around them during defrosting.

Should poultry start to warm upon the outer surface, stop thawing and allow it to stand
for 20 minutes before continuing.
Leave the fish, meat and poultry to stand in order to complete defrosting. The standing
time for complete defrosting will vary depending on the quantity defrosted. Please refer
to the table below.

Hint: Flat food defrosts better than thick and smaller quantities need less

For defrosting of frozen food with a temperature of about -18 to - 20 °C, use the

POWER GRILL

The upper grill-heating element is located underneath the ceiling and two lower
movable heating-elements are located at the sides, while fixed at the back of cavity.
They operate while the door is closed. When using power grill modes the two side
heating-elements will move in horizontal position automatically. When using power grill
function all three elements will heat up and the food will be browned from top-side and
bottom-side. The advantage of power grill function is that you do not have to turnover
food (see power grill Guide).

Preheating the grill elements for 3 minutes will make the food brown more quickly.

Cookware for grilling:
