T

HE APPLIANCE SHOULD NOT BE OPERATED without food

in the oven when using microwaves. Operation in
this manner is likely to damage the appliance.

I

F YOU PRACTI CE OPERATING the oven, put a glass

of water inside. The water will absorb the mi­crowave energy and the oven will not be dam­aged.

R

EMOVE WIRE TWIST-TIES from paper or

plastic bags before placing bag in
the oven.

DEEPFRYING

D

O NOT USE YOUR MICROWAVE oven for deep-frying,

because the oil temperature cannot be
controlled.

LIQUIDS

E.

G. BEVERAGES OR WATER. Overheating the liquid

beyond boiling point can occur
without evidence of bubbling.
This could result in a sudden
boil over of the hot liquid.
To prevent this possibility the
following steps should be taken:

1. Avoid using straight-sided containers with
narrow necks.

2. Stir the liquid before placing the container
in the oven and let the teaspoon remain
in the container.

3. After heating, allow standing for a short
time, stirring again before carefully re­moving the container from the oven.

COOKING CHART

THE MORE FOOD YOU WANT TO COO K the longer it
takes. A rule of thumb is that double amount
of food requires almost double the time.
THE LOWER STARTING TEMPERATURE, the longer cook-
ing time is required. Food at room tem­perature cooks faster than food taken di­rectly from the refrigerator.

I

F YOU ARE COO KING SEVERAL ITEMS of the

same food, such as jacket po-

tatoes, place them in a ring
pattern for uniform cooking.

S

TIRRING AND TURNING OF FOOD ARE techniques

used in conventional cooking as well as in mi­crowave cooking to distribute the heat quick-

ly to the center of the dish and avoids over-

cooking at the outer edges of the food.

W

HEN COOKIN G FOOD OF UNEVEN SHAPE or

thickness, place the thinner area of
food towards the center of the dish,

where it will be heated last.

F

OOD WITH LOT OF FAT AND SUGAR will be

cooked faster than food containing a lot
of water. Fat and sugar will also reach a higher
temperature than water.
ALWAYS ALLOW THE FOOD TO STAND for some time
after cooking. Standing time
always improves the result
since the temperature will
then be evenly distributed
throughout the food.

S

OME FOODS ARE COVER ED BY A SKIN OR MEMBRANE

e.g. potatoes, apples and egg yolks.
These food should be pricked with
a fork or cocktail stick to relieve the
pressure and to prevent bursting.
SMALLER PIECES OF FOOD WILL COOK FAS TER than larg­er pieces and uniform pieces of food cook
more evenly than irregularly shaped foods.

REHEATING CHART

AS IN TRADITIONAL COOK ING METHODS, food reheat­ed in a microwave oven must always be heat­ed until piping hot.
THE BEST RESULTS ARE ACHIEVED if the food
is arranged with the thicker food to the
outside of the plate and the thinner
food in the centre.

W

HEN REHEATING STEWS OR SAUCES it is better to stir

once to distribute the heat evenly.

C

OVERIN G THE FOOD helps to keep the moisture

inside the food, reduces spattering and

W

HEN REHEATING FROZEN FOOD portions

follow the manufactures instruction

on the package.

FOOD WHICH CANNOT BE STIRRED, like gratin is

best reheated on P75.

DEFROSTING CHART

FROZEN FOOD IN PLASTIC BAGS , plastic  lms or card­board packages can be placed directly in the
oven as long as the package has no metal
parts (e.g. metal twist ties).
THE SHAPE OF THE PACK AGE alters the defrost-
ing time. Shallow packets defrost more
quickly than a deep block.

S

EPARATE PIECES as they begin to defrost.

Individual slices defrost more easily.
SHIELD AREAS OF FOOD with small pieces of
aluminiumfoil if they start to become warm
(e.g. chicken legs and wing tips).

T

URN LARGE JOINTS halfway through the defrost-

ing process.
BOILED FOOD, STEWS AND MEAT SAUCES defrost better

if stirred during defrosting time.

WHEN DEFROSTING it is better to under-

thaw the food slightly and allow the

process to  nish during standing time.

S

TANDING TIME AFTER DEFROSTING always im-

proves the result since the temperature

will then be evenly distributed through-

out the food.

any food deposits removed.

MAINTENANCE & CLEANING

CLEANING IS THE ONLY MAINTENANCE normally re-
quired. It must be carried out with the micro­wave oven disconnected.
FAILURE TO MAINTAIN THE OVEN in a clean condition
could lead to deterioration of the surface that
could adversely a ect the life of the appliance
and possibly result in a hazardous situation.

D

O NOT USE METAL SCOURING PADS ,

ABRASIVE CLEANSERS, steel-

wool pads, gritty wash­cloths, etc. which can
damage the control pan­el, and the interior and ex terior oven sur­faces. Use a cloth with a mild detergent
or a paper towel with spray glass cleaner.
Apply spray glass cleaner to a paper towel.
DO NOT SPRAY directly on the oven.

AT REGULAR INTERVALS, especially
if spill overs have occurred, re­move the turntable, the turnta­ble support and wipe the base of
the oven clean.
THIS OVEN IS DESIGNED to operate with the turnta­ble in place.

the intense heat will burn o any splashes, but
the ceiling beneath it may need regular clean­ing. This should be done with a soft and damp

If the Grill is not used regularly, it should be
run for 10 minutes a month to burn off any
splashes, in order to reduce the risk of fire.
