COOKING UTENSILS

Utensils should be checked to ensure that they are suitable for use in the microwave oven. The following chart summarises the proper use of cooking utensils in your oven.

Cooking utensils

Microwave

Heat resistant glass, glass ceramicYes
Ceramic, chinaYes
Metal cookwareNo
Non resistance glassNo
Microwave plasticYes
Plastic wrapYes
Paper (cup, plates, towels)Yes
Straw, wicker and woodNo

Microwave

  1. Most glass, glass ceramic, and heat resistant glassware utensils are excellent. Those with metal trim should not be used in a microwave oven.
  2. Paper napkins, towels, plates, cups, cartons and cardboard can be used in the microwave oven. Do not use recycled paper products since they may contain impurities which may cause sparks and / or fires when used in cooking.
  3. Plastic dishes, cups, freezer bags, and plastic wraps may be used in the microwave oven. Follow the manufacturers instructions or the information given in a microwave cookbook when using plastics in the microwave oven.
  4. Metal utensils and utensils with metallic trim should not be used in the microwave oven.

If the use of aluminium foil, skewers, or utensils containing metal in the oven is specified in the recipe, allow at least 2.5 cm clearance between the metal object and the interior oven wall. If arcing (sparks) occurs, remove immediately.

Notes:

  • Care should be taken when removing utensils or the glass turntable, as they may become hot during cooking
  • Only use a thermometer that is designed or recommended for use in the microwave oven.
  • Ensure the turntable is in place when you operate the oven.

OTHER HELPFUL INSTRUCTIONS

For best results and more enjoyable cooking, please read these comments thoroughly.

For Best Results:

  1. When determining the time for a particular food, begin by using short times and checking the cooking process frequently. It is easy to overcook food because microwaves cook very quickly.
  2. Small quantities of food, or foods with low water content may dry out and become hard if cooked too long.

Defrosting Frozen Food:

  1. Foods that have been frozen can be placed directly in the oven for thawing. (Be certain to remove any metallic ties or wraps).
  2. Defrost according to the Defrosting Tips found in this manual.
  3. For areas of the food thawing faster than others, cover with small pieces of aluminium foil. This helps slow down or stop the defrosting process in the covered areas.
  4. Some foods should not be completely thawed before cooking. For example, fish cooks so quickly that it is sometimes better to begin cooking while still slightly frozen.
  5. It may be necessary to increase or decrease the cooking time in some recipes, depending on the starting temperature of the food.

NOTE:

Air from the vent may become warm during cooking.

Browning:

There are a few foods which are not cooked long enough in the microwave oven to brown and may need additional colour.

Coatings such as paprika, and browning agents such as Worcestershire sauce may be used on chops, meat patties or chicken pieces.

Roasts, poultry or ham, cooked for 10-15 minutes or longer, will brown without extra additives when cooking in combination mode.

CLEANING AND CARE

  • It is important that the oven is cleaned frequently to avoid food splashes from becoming ‘baked on’
  • Clean the microwave oven after turning off the power and pulling out the plug
Oven(Ceiling, walls, bottom, and inside of door)Each time food has been cooked, wipe off the dirt or food splashes as soon as possibleGreasy spots should be wiped off with a cloth soaked in mild detergentIf dirt is left in the oven for a long time, it cannot be wiped off easily, it will hold the smell of the food and may cause corrosion or rustingAlso arcing may occur and the side cover may be scorched because the microwaves are concentrated on the food splashesIf the side cover becomes too dirty to be cleaned, consult your nearest store and replace itCheck the microwave oven for any visible damage, such as a misaligned door, damaged door seals around the door or dents inside the oven cavity or on the door. Ensure that the door and door sealing areas are clean before use, clean with a mild detergent, water and a soft cloth. Do not use scouring pads, powder or other abrasive materials
Roller RingAlways keep the roller ring cleanWhen it is soiled with food splashes or grease, remove the food splashes or grease using a sponge or cloth soaked with mild detergent and wash it in waterIf food splashes are left on the roller ring, arcing may occur because the microwaves are concentrated on the food splashesKeep the roller ring in position in the oven except when it is to be cleaned
TurntableWhen the turntable is soiled with grease or food splashes, remove the dirt with a sponge soaked in mild detergent, wash it in water and dry it
CabinetWipe the cabinet with a soft clothWhen the cabinet is heavily soiled, wipe it with a cloth soaked in mild detergent thoroughly with a clean damp clothDo not splash water on the air outlets
CAUTIONSDo not rub the oven and accessories with a wire brush or sharp-edged toolThe surface may become scratchedDo not apply oven cleaner, benzene, or thinner to the surface of the panel or doorThe letters on the panel may fade, and the surface may lose gloss or may corrode

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

Q. What is wrong when the oven light will not glow?

A. *Light bulb has blown.

* Door not closed.

Q. Why is steam coming out of the air exhaust vent and / or why is water dripping from the bottom of the door?

A. Steam is normally produced during cooking operations. This microwave oven has been made to vent this steam out of the side and top vents, occasionally this steam condenses on the door and water then drips out at the bottom of the door. This is quite normal and safe.

Q. Does microwave energy pass through the viewing screen in the door?

A. No. The metal screen reflects the energy to the oven cavity. the holes, or ports are made to allow light to pass, they do not let microwave energy through.

Q. Will the microwave oven be damaged if it operates while empty?

A. Yes. Never run it empty.

Q. Why do eggs sometimes pop?

A. When baking or poaching eggs, the yolk may pop due to steam build-up inside the yolk membrane. To prevent this, simply pierce the yolk with a toothpick before cooking. Never cook eggs without piercing their shells.

Q. Why is standing time recommended after the cooking operation has been completed?

A. Standing time is very important.

With microwave cooking, the heat is in the food, not in the oven. Many foods build up enough internal heat to allow the cooking process to continue, even after the food is removed from the oven. Standing time for joints of meat, large vegetables and cakes is to allow the inside to cook completely, without overcooking the outside.

Q. Why does my oven not always cook as fast as the microwave cooking guide says?

A. Check your cooking guide again, to make sure you've followed directions exactly and to see what might cause variations in cooking times. Cooking guide times and heat settings are suggestions, to help prevent over cooking the most common problem in getting used to a microwave oven. Variations in the size, shape and weights and dimensions could require longer cooking time. Use your own judgement along with the cooking guide suggestions to check whether the food has been properly cooked just as you would do with a conventional cooker.

Q. Why do sparks and crackling (arcing) occur in the oven?

A. There may be several reasons why sparks and crackling (arcing) within the cavity happens.

* You have left a fork or other metal utensils in the oven.
* You are using dishes with metal parts or trim (silver or gold).
* You are using a large amount of metal foil.
* You are using a metal twist tie.

CONTAINERS

Container Type Explanation Microwave
Heat resisting glasswareGlass containers with high heat-resisting properties such as Pyrex and Corning are the most suitable for the microwave ovenYES
Normal glasswareGlass containers that may be broken easily by the sudden increase of temperature should be used carefully Table glassware can be used for drinks, fruits, and sweets Lead crystal is unsuitable NOTE: Do not use plates or receptacles made of coloured glass or ones having metallic decorations, since these can be damagedYES
Heat resisting ceramic wareCeramic ware and glazed earthenware are suitableYES
Normal ceramic wareContainers having cracks, scratches or metal brims cannot be usedYES
Polypropylene containersPolypropylene containers can be used if the temperature of the food does not exceed 100CYES
Other containersMelamine, styrol, and urea resin containers absorb the microwaves and easily become hot or are weak against heatNO
Metal ware, iron skewers, wire nets etcSince the micro waves cannot pass through these items, they cannot be used for microwave cooking Metal skewers and aluminium foil may be used partially for some types of cooking, but they must not touch the walls of the ovenNO
Plastic filmsPlastic films that can resist temperature of 120C or higher can be used if the temperature of the food is not estimated to exceed 100C Note, however, that plastic film is not suitable for wrapping meat or foods with a high or fat or sugar content as it may melt when heatedYES
Bamboo ware, wooden ware etcThese containers may burn if they are heated for a long time (They can be used for microwave cooking for a short time)YES

How to test that a dish can be used in the microwave

First, put the dish on the turntable without food, and place a glass containing approximately 100 cc of water on the dish. Then select HIGH POWER and heat the water for 15 to 30 seconds. If the dish does not become warm it can be used in the microwave oven; if it becomes warm it cannot be used

Before You Call For Service

Refer to the following short checklist. You may find that the problem you are experiencing has nothing to do with the microwave oven itself. A couple of quick checks may save you an unnecessary service call.

Problem

The oven doesn't work at all.

Check the following

The mains plug is securely plugged into the power socket. The door is firmly closed. The cooking time is set on the timer selector control. The fuse in the mains plug has not blown. The mains circuit breaker in the home has not tripped.

Problem

"Arcing" or sparking in the oven interior.

Check the following

Any dishes, trays etc which are made of metal or have metal trims must not be used in the microwave oven.

Metal skewers should be covered with food and make sure they don't touch the sides of the oven interior when rotating. If "arcing" occurs again, remove skewers until food is cooked.

Remove any other metal cookware.
