MICROWAVE COOKING PRINCIPLES

1. Arrange food carefully. Place thickest areas towards outside of the dish.
2. Watch the cooking time. Cook for the shortest amount of time indicated and add more as needed. Food severely overcooked can smoke or ignite.
3. Cover foods while cooking. Covers prevent spattering and help foods cook evenly.
4. Turn foods over once during microwave cooking to speed cooking of such foods as chicken and hamburgers. Large items like roasts must be turned over at least once.
5. Rearrange foods such as meatballs halfway through cooking both from top to bottom and from the centre of the dish to the outside.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance must be grounded. This microwave oven is equipped with a cord having a grounding wire with a grounding plug. It must be plugged into a wall receptacle properly installed and grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces risk of

electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current. It is recommended that a separate circuit serving only the microwave oven be provided. Using high voltage is dangerous and may result in a fire or other accident causing damage to the microwave oven.

WARNING: Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock.

Note:

1. If you have any questions about the grounding or electrical instructions, consult a qualified electrician or contact the Customer Support Service.

2. Neither the manufacturer nor the dealer can accept any liability for damage to the oven or personal injury resulting from failure to observe the electrical connection procedures.

The wires in this cable main are coloured in accordance with the following code:

$$ \begin{array}{l} \text { Green and Yellow } = \text { EARTH } \ \text { Blue } = \text { NEUTRAL } \ \text { Brown } = \text { LIVE } \end{array} $$

UTENSILS GUIDE

1. Microwaves cannot penetrate metal. Only use utensils that are suitable for use in microwave ovens. Metallic containers for food and beverages are not allowed during microwave cooking. This requirement is not applicable if the manufacturer specifies size and shape of metallic containers suitable for microwave cooking.
2. Microwaves cannot penetrate metal, so metal utensils or dishes with metallic trim should not be used.
3. Do not use recycled paper products when microwave cooking, as they may contain small metal fragments which may cause sparks and/or fires.
4. Round /oval dishes rather than square/oblong ones are recommended, as food in corners tends to overcook.
5. Narrow strips of aluminium foil may be used to prevent overcooking of exposed areas. But be careful don't use too much and keep a distance of 2.54 cm between foil and cavity.

The list below is a general guide to help you select the correct utensils.
