Leave the turntable in place and pre-heat exactly as long as the dish instructions require. Under no circumstances should a browning dish be heated any longer than the instructions indicate.
Some foods should be cooked in covered glass dishes to speed up cooking, to prevent spattering or to retain their large water content. Instead of a glass cover, use plastic film for the same purpose. Be particularly careful when removing glass covers and plastic wrap film from cooking dishes. Steam can build up during cooking and cause a steam burn to fingers, hands, and arms, if caution is not

that might be easily broken by sudden heating or cooling. Plastic is seldom heated by microwaves. However, the heat of the food may cause some types of plastics to warp and become discoloured. Melamine or Urea plastic should never be used since it absorbs heat.
You can use any heat-resistant cookware. However, be careful about delicate glass
You can use all kinds of ceramics (China, glass ceramics and oven-proof clear glass utensils) unless they are coated with gold, silver or platinum. It is also wise to avoid using cracked ceramics.
Microwaves heat only the food, so you can serve on the same plate on which you cook. The plate will only be slightly warm from the heat of the food.
Cookware
(b) Under no circumstances should the outer case be removed except by a service technician trained by the manufacturer.
PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE ELECTRIC SHOCK (a), if a new plug is fitted, ensure that it is correctly wired.
It is dangerous for anyone other than a service technician trained by the manufacturer to perform repair service. Unauthorised service may make the guarantee void.
It is particularly important that the door closes properly, and that there is no damage to the door, hinges and latches, door seals and door seal areas. If these areas are damaged, the appliance should not be operated until it has been repaired by a service technician trained by the manufacturer.
Safety
Cookware
To test if a dish (except browning) is suitable for use in your microwave oven, place the dish with a glass of water onto the turntable. Switch the oven on for 1 12 minutes on HIGH. If the water gets hot and the dish stays cool, the dish is suitable. If the reverse is found the dish must not be used in your microwave oven. Should you find that both the dish and the water are warm, this means that the dish is absorbing some microwave energy and although it could be used, being less efficient, the cooking or heating times will be longer. For further information, see your microwave cookbook.

1 do not allow grease, soil and spatter to build up. A build up of grease or food particles on the oven interior can result in damage to the oven as well as loss of cooking power.
- Use only a mild detergent, water and a soft cloth to clean the door surface and interior. DO NOT use scouring pads, powder or other abrasive materials.
-
To loosen stubborn food particles, place a measuring cup filled with water on the turntable. Operate the oven until the water boils, the steam will loosen any stubborn particles.

Odours can be eliminated from the inside of the oven by boiling a solution of one cup of water and several tablespoons of lemon juice in the oven for 5-7 minutes.
-
Ensure that the oven door seal and front rim of the oven are kept clean and free from soil. These areas should be inspected regularly for damage.

The turntable is removable. To clean spins, remove and wash in sink of dishwasher. Periodic cleaning under the turntable may be required. Never try to rapidly cool the turntable (or other cookware) in water while it is still hot. If the turntable is used successively for a long time, it will be heated up to a high temperature. Never dip it into cold water or wipe with a cold dish cloth. Such rapid cooling will possibly cause the turntable to crack or break.
Exterior
T outer cabinet is painted. Clean with a cloth or sponge, moistened in a mild detergent solution, and then dry with a clean cloth. Avoid spilling water into the vents. Do not use Petroleum spirit, thinners or any kind of chemical solvent to clean the outer cabinet.
Cooking Precautions
Do not use metal cookware or dinnerware with metal trims. Arcing can occur damaging oven and dish.
Do not leave any metal such as a fork or metal skewers in the oven. Do not place capped bottles, food in vacuum-tight containers or sealed jars in the
explode when heated.
Do not wrap foods in aluminium foil for cooking. Microwaves cannot penetrate metal, therefore, no cooking will take place. Small amounts of foil may be used to shield food areas from overcooking when called for in some recipes.
Never try to heat up oil alone. If a container of oil is heated for a long time, the temperature of the oil becomes very high, possibly causing the turntable to crack or break.
Never cook eggs in their shells. Microwave cooking is so fast that pressure will build up inside the shell and cause it to explode.
Pierce the skins of potatoes, tomatoes and other such foods before cooking. Pierce holes in plastic wrap when using it to cover containers. This allows st
escape.
Do not use wire twist-ties on paper and plastic bags. They become hot and can cause a fire. Replace them with string or a strip of plastic.
Do not pop popcorn in the microwave oven.
Check the food periodically until you become familiar with this modern way of
and because the food itself will vary in weight, tenderness and shape.
When food is removed from the oven, it continues to cook for a short period of time. To avoid over-cooking remove food slightly before it is done and allow for standing time to complete cooking.
Due to the speed and efficiency of Microwave Cooking, foods and liquids reach
high temperature very quickly, it is not uncommon for the vessels holding these hot foods/drinks to remain relatively cool to the touch. Therefore you should exercise
water by microwave, care should be exercised in removing the vessel from the
oven as the water may boil suddenly when disturbed.
Do not sterilise baby feeding bottles/utensils in microwave ovens, as air bubbles may get trapped causing incomplete sterilisation. Sterilising solutions should not

This particular feature is designed to reduce the possibility of over defrosting which can occur on simpler microwave ovens producing cooked areas in the food being defosted. This programme also eliminates any errors in calculating the detrost time as you are only required to enter the frozen weight of the food to be detrosted, the oven will automatically calculate the detrost and standing times required. You must allow the auto derost programme to completely finish before removing the food from the oven, i.e. allow the food to remain in the oven for the standing time indicated on the display. To achieve the best detrost performance from your microwave oven, you are advised to follow out defrosting recommendations below. Since the defrosting result will depend on the initial starting temperature of the food, you are advised to check that the food has completely defosted before it is cooked. Defrosting stimuli cuts of meat, e.g. minice, stewing steak, etc. When the audible signal is heard during the detrost time, break up the pieces of meat, this will ensure that the meat is evenly defosted.
