Important safety instructions Cooking time

Foods low in moisture

cooking time depends on the condition, temperature, amount of food and on the type of cookware. QQ Begin with the minimum cooking time to help prevent overcooking. If the food is not sufficiently cooked you can always cook it for a little longer.

microwave oven is intended for heating food and beverages only. Take care when heating foods low in moisture, e.g. bread items, chocolate, biscuits and pastries. These can easily burn, dry out or catch on fire if cooked too long. We do not recommend heating foods low in moisture such as popcorn or poppodums. Drying of food, newspapers or clothing and heating of warming pads, slippers, sponges, damp cloth, wheat bags, hot water bottles and similar may lead to risk of injury, ignition or fire.

If the recommended cooking time is exceeded, the food will be spoiled and in extreme circumstances could catch fire and possibly damage the interior of the oven.

not cook eggs in their shells and whole hard-boiled eggs by MICROWAVE. Pressure may build up and the eggs may explode, even after the microwave heating has ended.

Small quantities of foods

quantities of food or foods with low moisture content can burn, dry out or catch on fire if cooked too long. If materials inside the oven should ignite, keep the oven door closed, turn the oven off and remove the plug from the socket.

with non porous skins, such as potatoes, egg yolks and sausages must be pierced before cooking by MICROWAVE to prevent bursting.

a meat thermometer to check the degree of cooking of roasts and poultry only when the meat has been removed from the oven. Do not use a conventional meat thermometer in the microwave oven because it may cause sparking.

heating liquids, e.g. soup, sauces and beverages in your microwave oven, overheating the liquid beyond boiling point can occur without evidence of bubbling. This could result in a sudden boil over of the hot liquid. To prevent this possibility the following steps should be taken: a Avoid using straight-sided containers with narrow necks. b Do not overheat. c Stir the liquid before placing the container in the oven and again halfway through the cooking time. d After heating, allow it to stand in the oven for a short time, stir again before carefully removing the container.

not heat any closed cans or bottles because they might explode. QQ Metal containers or dishes with metallic trim should not be used during microwave cooking. Sparking will occur. QQ If you use any aluminium foil, meat spikes or metalware the distance between them and the oven walls and door should be at least 2 cm to prevent sparking.

Feeding bottles/baby food jars

top and teat or lid must be removed from feeding bottles or baby food jars before placing in the oven. QQ The contents of feeding bottles and baby food jars are to be stirred or shaken. QQ The temperature has to be checked before consumption to avoid burns.

heating food in plastic or paper containers, keep an eye on the oven as these types of containers ignite if overheated. QQ Do not use recycled paper products (e.g. Kitchen Roll) unless the paper product is labelled as safe for microwave oven use. Recycled paper products may contain impurities which may cause sparks and/or fires during use. QQ Remove wire twist-ties from roasting bags before placing the bags in the oven.

1. Door Release Button Press to open the door. Opening the door during cooking will stop the cooking process without cancelling the programme. Cooking resumes as soon as the door is closed.

1. If the door is already closed, the oven will start cooking/defrosting immediately. 2. If you wish to check the food during cooking simply open the door. The oven will automatically stop cooking. To continue cooking, close the door. 3. To stop cooking, turn Time select dial to zero position. Cooking time can be reset at any time during the cooking cycle by turning the dial. 4. When food is removed from the oven after cooking is complete, check the Time select dial is in the zero position. 5. Around half of defrosting time, turn over the food, remove the defrosted part/ food, or shield thin ends/fat/bones of roast with foil. Refer to Defrosting guidelines on page 15.

Defrosting Guidelines Standing times

Minced meat or cubes of meat and seafood

Individual portions of food may be cooked almost immediately after defrosting. It is normal for large portions of food to be frozen in the centre. Before cooking, allow to stand for a minimum of one hour. During this standing time, the temperature becomes evenly distributed and the food is defrosted by conduction. N.B. If the food is not going to be cooked immediately, store it in the refrigerator. Never refreeze defrosted food without first cooking it.

Since the outside of these foods quickly defrosts, it is necessary to separate them, break the blocks into pieces frequently while defrosting and remove them when they have defrosted.

Small portions of food

Chops and chicken pieces must be separated as soon as possible so that they defrost evenly throughout. Fatty parts and the ends defrost more quickly. Place them near the centre of the turntable or protect them.

It is preferable to place the joints on an upturned plate or plastic rack so that they are not resting in the juices. It is essential to protect delicate or projecting parts of this food with small pieces of foil to prevent these parts from cooking. It is not dangerous to use small pieces of foil in your oven, provided they do not come into contact with the oven walls.

Loaves will require standing time to allow the centre to thaw. Standing time can be shortened if slices are separated and rolls and loaves cut in half.

Questions and answers Q: Sometimes warm air comes from the oven vents. Why? A: The heat given off from the cooking food warms the air in the oven cavity. This warmed air is carried out of the oven by the air flow pattern in the oven. There are no microwaves in the air. The oven vents should never be blocked during cooking.

Q: Why won’t my oven turn on? A: When the oven does not turn on, check the following: 1. Is the oven plugged in securely? Remove the plug from the outlet, wait 10 seconds and reinsert. 2. Check the circuit breaker and the fuse. Reset the circuit breaker or replace the fuse if it is tripped or blown. 3. If the circuit breaker or fuse is all right, plug another appliance into the outlet. If the other appliance works, there probably is a problem with the oven. If the other appliance does not work, there probably is a problem with the outlet. If it seems that there is a problem with the oven, contact an authorised Service Centre. Q: My oven causes interference with my TV. Is this normal? A: Some radio and TV interference might occur when you cook with the oven. This interference is similar to the interference caused by small appliances such as mixers, vacuums, blow dryers, etc. It does not indicate a problem with your oven.

7. It is occasionally necessary to remove the glass tray for cleaning. Wash the tray in warm soapy water or in a dishwasher.

1. The oven should be unplugged before cleaning. 2. Clean the inside of the oven, door seals and door seal areas regularly. When food splatters or spilled liquids adhere to the oven walls, door seals and door seal areas wipe off with a damp cloth. Mild detergent may be used if they get very dirty. The use of harsh detergent or abrasive is not recommended. Avoid cleaning the microwave feed guide area situated on the right hand side of the cavity wall. DO NOT USE COMMERCIAL OVEN CLEANERS.

8. The roller ring and oven cavity floor should be cleaned regularly to avoid excessive noise. Simply wipe the bottom surface of the oven with mild detergent and hot water then dry with a clean cloth. The roller ring may be washed in mild soapy water. Cooking vapours collect during repeated use but in no way affect the bottom surface or roller ring wheels. After removing the roller ring from the cavity floor for cleaning, be sure to replace it in the proper position.

3. Do not use harsh, abrasive cleaners or sharp metal scrapers to clean the oven door glass since they can scratch the surface, which may result in shattering the glass.

9. A steam cleaner is not to be used for cleaning. 10. This oven should only be serviced by qualified personnel. For maintenance and repair of the oven contact the nearest authorised dealer.

4. The outside oven surface should be cleaned with a damp cloth. To prevent damage to the operating parts inside the oven, water should not be allowed to seep into the ventilation openings.

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

5. If the Control Panel becomes dirty, clean it with a soft cloth. Do not use harsh detergents or abrasives on the Control Panel. When cleaning the Control Panel leave the oven door open to prevent the oven from accidentally turning on. After cleaning make sure Time select dial is set to zero position.

12. Keep air vents clean at all times. Check that no dust or other material is blocking any of the air vents on the top, bottom or rear of the oven. If air vents become blocked this could cause overheating which would affect the operation of the oven and possibly result in a hazardous situation.

6. If steam accumulates inside or around the outside of the oven door, wipe with a soft cloth. This may occur when the oven is operated under high humidity conditions and in no way indicates a malfunction of the unit.
