IMPORTANT - COOKWARE NOT TO USE IN YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN

• Do not use metal pans or dishes with metal handles.
• Do not use anything with metal trim.
• Do not use paper covered wire twist-ties on plastic bags.
• Do not use melamine dishes as they contain a material which will absorb microwave energy. This may cause the dishes to crack or char and will slow down the cooking speed.
• Do not use Centura Tableware. The glaze is not suitable for microwave use. Corelle Living ware closed handle cups should not be used.
• Do not cook in a container with a restricted opening, such as a pop bottle or salad oil bottle, as they may explode if heated in a microwave oven.

• Do not use conventional meat or candy thermometers. There are the thermometers available specifically for microwave cooking. These may be used.

• Microwave utensils should be used only in accordance with manufacturer's instructions.

• Do not attempt to deep-fry foods in this oven.
• Please remember that a microwave oven only heats the liquid in a container rather than the container itself. Therefore, even though the lid of a container is not hot to the touch when removed from the oven, please remember that the food/liquid inside will be releasing the same amount of steam and/or spitting when the lid is removed as in conventional cooking.
  10,5. Always test the temperature of cooked food yourself especially if you are heating or cooking food/liquid for babies. It is advisable never to consume food/liquid straight from the oven but allow it to stand for a few minutes and stir food/liquid to distribute heat evenly.
• Food containing a mixture of fat and water, e.g. stock, should stand for 30-60 seconds in the oven after it has been turned off. This is to allow the mixture to settle and to prevent bubbling when a spoon is placed in the food/liquid or a stock cube is added.
• When preparing/cooking food/liquid and remember that there are certain foods, e.g. Christmas puddings, jam and mincemeat, which heat up very quickly. When heating or cooking foods with a high fat or sugar content do not use plastic containers.
• Cooking utensil may become hot because of heat transferred from the heated food. This is especially true if plastic wrap has been covering the top and handles of the utensil. Potholders may be needed to handle the utensil.

QUICK LOOK UP GUIDE

1. Place the food in the oven. Select the power level by rotating the Cooking Power Control knob.
2. Select the cooking time by rotating the Timer knob.

If you want to defrost some food

1. Turn the cooking power control knob to" *".
2. Turn the timer knob to select the appropriate time.

Microwaves are high-frequency electromagnetic waves; the energy released enables food to be cooked or reheated without changing either the form or the color.

You can use your microwave oven to:

• Defrost
• Instant reheat
• Cook

Cooking Principle

1. The microwaves generated by the magnetron are distributed uniformly as the food rotates on the turntable. The food is thus cooked evenly.
2. The microwaves are absorbed by the food up to a depth of about 1 inch (2.5 cm). Cooking then continues as the heat is dissipated within the food.

3. Cooking times vary according to the receptacle used and the properties of the food.

4. Quantity and density.

5. Water Content
6. Initial temperature (refrigerated or not)

As the centre of the food is cooked by heat dissipation, cooking continues even when you have taken the food out of the oven. Standing times specified in recipes and in this booklet must therefore be respected to ensure:

• Even cooking of the food right to the centre
• The same temperature throughout the food

1. First place a bowl of water on the turntable.

2. Set the power level to high by turning Cooking Power Control knob.

3. Set the time to 4-5 minutes by turning the Timer knob. The oven must be plugged into an appropriate wall socket. The turntable must be in position in the oven. If a power level other than the maximum is used, the water takes longer to boil.

DEFROSTING

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 turn up.

Frozen poultry must be thoroughly thawed before cooking. Remove any metal ties and take it out of its wrapping, so thawed liquids can drain away.

Put the frozen food on a dish without a cover. Turn over halfway through defrosting, drain away any liquid, and remove giblets etc as soon as possible.

Check the food occasionally to make sure it does not feel warm.

If smaller and thinner parts of the frozen food start to warm up, they can be shielded using small strips of aluminium foil wrapped around them during defrosting.

Should poultry start to warm up on the outer surface, stop thawing and allow it to stand for at least 20 minutes before continuing.

HINT: Flat food defrosts better than thick and smaller quantities need less time than bigger ones. Remember this when home freezing.

The following parts of your microwave oven should be cleaned regularly to prevent grease and food particles from building up:

• Inside and outside surfaces
• Door and door seals
• Turntable and roller rings

Always ensure that the door seals are clean and the door closes

1. Clean the outside surfaces with soft cloth and warm soapy water.
2. Remove any splashes or stains on the inside surfaces and roller ring with a soapy cloth, rinse and dry.
3. To loosen hardened food particles and remove smells, place a cup of diluted lemon juice on the turn table and heat for ten minutes at maximum power.
4. Wash, the dishwasher safe glass turntable, whenever necessary

DO NOT SPILL WATER IN THE VENTS. NEVER USE ANY ABRASIVE PRODUCTS OR CHEMICAL SOLVENTS. TAKE PARTICULAR CARE WHEN CLEANING, DOOR SEALS TO ENSURE THAT NO PARTICLES ACCUMULATE, PREVENTING THE DOOR FROM CLOSING PROPERLY.

Environment

Do not throw away the appliance with the normal household waste at the end of its life, but hand it in at an official collection point for recycling. By doing this, you help to preserve the environment.
