Failure to maintain the oven in a clean condition could lead to deterioration of the surface that could adversely affect the life of the appliance and possibly result in a hazardous situation.

1. Remove the plug from the electrical socket before cleaning.
2. Keep the inside of the oven clean. If pieces of food or spilled liquids stick to the oven walls, or between door seal and door surface, they will absorb microwaves and may cause arcing or sparks. Wipe up all spills with a damp cloth. Kitchen detergent or Food Sanitizer Solution may be used if the oven gets very dirty. Do not use harsh detergents or abrasives.
3. The outside surface of this microwave oven should be cleaned with soap and water, then dried with a soft cloth. Make sure that water does not get into the back ventilation or control panel opening since this can damage the unit.
4. The window of the door should be washed with very mild soap and water. Be sure to use a soft cloth. Never use window cleaner. The front door can be scratched by harsh soap or cleaners.
5. Do not spray anything directly onto the door and the walls, and into the oven cavity. Spray onto a cloth and wipe over.
6. Failure to follow these cleaning instructions may invalidate the warranty on this machine.

Care of Your Microwave Oven

CLEANING OF THE DOOR HOOK SYSTEM

Make sure that kitchen detergent or soap does not get into the hole of the door hook system, since this can get inside the door hook system and also damage the unit.

Make sure to clean the door hooks with a damp cloth after cleaning the oven, or when the door hooks are dirty. Never close the door if soap or kitchen detergent remains on the door hooks. The soap or kitchen detergent will get into the unit through the hole and then damage the unit.

CLEANING OF THE AIR FILTERS

Clean the Air Filters occasionally according to the following instructions. Problems may occur with the oven if the Air Filters become clogged with dirt or dust.*

1. Remove the right Air Filter from the front bottom skirt by pulling the right Pop Pin straight out, then slide the filter to the right and lift it off the post at the centre. Remove the left Air Filter in a similar manner, sliding to the left.
2. Wash the Air Filters with soap and water.
3. To replace, align the Air Filter with the centre post, and holding the front of the Pop Pin forward, locate the back of the pin into its hole. Press the front of the pin and it will pop into place. Be sure to replace the Air Filters before using this oven.
4. If the Air Filter becomes clogged with dust or grease this will cause an overheat problem on the oven.

Types of Container to Use

1. GLASS

DO USE: Heat resistant glass eg. Pyrex
DO NOT USE: Delicate glass, lead crystal, etc, which may crack or arc.

2. CHINA/CERAMICS

DO USE: Glazed china dishes, porcelain and ceramic dishes designed for cooking.
DO NOT USE: Fine bone china dishes with metal patterns. Jugs with glued handles.

3. POTTERY/EARTHENWARE/STONEWARE

DO USE: If completely glazed.
DO NOT USE: If unglazed - these dishes can absorb water which absorbs energy.

This makes the dish hot and increases the heating time.

4. FOIL/METAL

DO USE: Small amounts of aluminium foil can be used to shield joints of meat during DEFROSTING - take care that foil doesn't touch sides or door.
DO NOT USE: Metal platters, Wire Rack Shelf, METAL SKEWERS, any dish with METAL PATTERN or TRIM.

DO NOT USE FOIL CONTAINERS - ARCING may occur as they become DENTED/DAMAGED. Do not use Le Crueset-style dishes (Cast iron covered by enamel).

Types of Container to Use

5. PLASTIC

DO USE:

High temperature plastic like Durable Polysulfon rather than soft flexible dishes. (Remove any metal twist ties.)

DO NOT USE:

Container made from Melamine, Polypropylene, Phenol Urea, also do not use plastic food storage bags and containers eg. Margarine, Yoghurt and Mayonnaise tubs.

6. COVERING FILMS

DO USE:

Non plasticiser cling film designed for Microwave use. Do not allow the film to touch the food. To prevent nasty steam burns, pierce the film to allow steam to escape and remove the film from the dish carefully.

DO NOT USE:

Film designed only for covering food.

7. WOOD/WICKER

DO USE:

Wooden skewers designed for food use.

DO NOT USE:

Wicker baskets, wooden bowls (with prolonged use these tend to dry out and may ignite)

8. PAPER

DO USE:

Disposable, polyester coated paper board dishes if designed for microwave.

DO NOT USE:

Paper napkins (these can ignite), wax coated cups, recycled products (unless stated suitable by manufacturer)

TWO LEVEL COOKING

When heating, one item always place the container in the centre of the base shelf.

When using the microwave mainly for reheating one item at a time, remove the shelf and work on the base plate.

When reheating two items at a time place both dishes on the base shelf side by side, unless the containers are too large and then place one on each shelf.

When heating more than two plates, place the dishes evenly on the two shelves.

Allow some space between each plate, do not cram too much food into the oven.

When defrosting or cooking in the oven, only work on the bottom shelf, do not use the two shelves simultaneously.

DEFROSTING FROZEN FOODS

1. If you try to completely defrost frozen food in the microwave oven, uneven defrosting may occur due to the differences in the thickness and shape of the food. Drippings may also result, and sometimes a part of the food cooks although other parts still remain frozen. In actual usage of frozen foods, you should not normally defrost them 100% . 70% defrosting in the microwave oven is ideal and helpful for the next cooking operation.
2. To defrost evenly, turn over or rearrange the food during defrosting.
3. To defrost fatty meat, heat it in the microwave oven for a short time and leave it to stand at room temperature, or heat it intermittently until defrosted.
4. When you defrost a whole chicken, or any frozen food of irregular shape, wrap legs or thin parts with aluminium foil. Otherwise thin parts will be defrosted faster and sometimes cooked before other parts have properly defrosted. For big pieces of meat, wrap the sides with aluminium foil so that they will be uniformly thawed by vertical microwaves only.
5. Ice should be removed at times during defrosting.

OTHER HELPFUL INSTRUCTIONS

FOR BEST RESULTS

1. When determining time for particular foods, always figure minimum time and check occasionally during cooking for progress. The microwave oven cooks so quickly, therefore it is easy to overcook your foods.
2. Be careful of the cooking time for small quantities of foods, or foods with low water content. They may burn if cooked too long.
3. Do not use the oven for drying kitchen towels or napkins. They may burn if heated too long.
4. Do not try to boil eggs in the oven.
5. When you cook an egg be sure to pierce the yolk membrane prior to placing into the oven to prevent the egg bursting.

HOW TO GET BROWNED FINISH

Generally foods do not brown when cooked by a microwave oven. This is one of the features of the equipment. To brown chickens, brush sauce on the surface before or during cooking. You can also brown meat in a conventional frying pan before cooking in the oven. A browning skillet for the microwave oven can obtain the same result.

FOR EVEN FINISHED COOKING

Open the door and give the dish a half turn, or turn the food over during cooking. This helps to achieve more even cooking.

MICROWAVE BASICS

Fundamental principles determine the success of microwave food preparation.

They include:

1. TEMPERATURE OF FOODS — Frozen or refrigerated food items will require longer heating times to reach a desired serving temperature than foods from room temperature.
2. FOOD COMPONENTS — Foods high in sugar, salt, fats and moisture content heat faster because these properties attract microwave energy. Denser foods high in protein and fiber, absorb microwave energy slower which means a lengthier heating time.
3. BULK/VOLUME — The greater the mass of food, the longer it takes to heat.
4. CONTAINERS — Ceramic, paper, china, styrofoam, glass and plastic are suitable for use in microwave ovens with the following caution.

Heating foods with either high sugar or high fat content should be done ONLY in high temperature-resistant containers since these foods get very hot. Using styrofoam containers for these foods will cause the styrofoam to warp. Other low temperature restaurant glass or plastic platters may crack or wrap under similar conditions.

DO NOT HEAT foods in a SEATED container or bag. Foods expand when heated and can break the container or bag.

1. AVOID METAL because it "bounces" the microwaves, causing uneven heating and sometimes even flashes, which may pit or mark the interior of the oven, the metal container or plate trim.
2. Heated liquids can erupt if not mixed with air. Do not heat liquids in your microwave oven without first stirring.

GENERAL GUIDELINES FOR HEATING IN A MICROWAVE OVEN

For specific time, see each food category for appropriate heating techniques, plus necessary pre-preparation of foods.

HEATING FOODS FROM REFRIGERATED TEMPERATURE

Foods stored in the refrigerator (5^) should be covered before reheating with the exception of breads, pastries or anybreaded product, which should be heated uncovered to prevent sogginess.

Most conventionally prepared foods should be slightly undercooked, and held in the refrigerator, so that overcooking does not occur during microwave heating.

Cooked items, such as vegetables, may be portion plated and covered for reheating without loss of color, texture or nutritional content.

HEATING FOODS FROM ROOM TEMPERATURE

Food items such as canned entree, vegetables, etc. will require significantly less heating time than those from refrigerated temperatures.

IMPORTANT RECOMMENDATIONS

1. For best results it is recommended that foods conventionally prepared be slightly undercooked when subsequently heated in this oven.
2. REMEMBER that after the heating cycle has been completed, internal food temperatures continue to rise slightly in foods heated in this oven.
3. A major abuse of microwave applications is the category of breads, pastries and pies. They are drier than insides or fillings, they heat more slowly. Therefore, baked goods should ONLY be heated until the crust is warm to the touch (50 °C–55 °C).
4. DO NOT OVERHEAT YOUR FOOD: 99% of all food quality complaints of microwave heated foods can be traced to overheating.

Cooking Instructions — Heating and Defrosting Time Charts —

The times given in the chart below are a guideline only. Many factors eg starting temperature of the food can affect the final heating time required. The cooking and defrosting times must be adjusted when necessary. All times are tested using foods at starting temperatures as below;

Chilled foods . . . Approx. +5^

Frozen foods . . . . Approx. -18 °C

Always check for the correct core temperature with a temperature probe to comply with current Government Food Hygiene Regulations.

HINTS: • Do not cook/reheat/defrost directly onto the base of the oven — use a suitable container.

• When defrosting multi portions of foods, turn over and break apart halfway through defrost time to allow better penetration of microwave energy.
• Solid/dense foods should not be cooked from frozen as they will be overcooked round the edges before the centre has reached the required temperature.
• Cover dishes where appropriate during cooking/reheating. This will retain moisture and prevent splashing/spillages.
• Loosen lids/pierce clingfilm before cooking/reheating covered foods.
• Stir or shake foods halfway through cooking/defrosting time to distribute the heat evenly.
• Allow a Stand Time before food temperature is checked and/or offered for consumption.
