Important Information

N.B.: If the recommended cooking times are exceeded the food will be spoiled and in extreme circumstances could catch fire and possibly damage the interior of the oven.

2) Small Quantities of Foods • Small 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. 3) Eggs • Do 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. 4) Piercing Skin • Food with non porous skins, such as potatoes, egg yolks and sausages must be pierced before cooking by MICROWAVE to prevent bursting. 5) Meat Thermometer • Use 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. 6) Liquids • When 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.

7) Paper/Plastic • When heating food in plastic or paper containers, check the oven frequently as these types of containers ignite if overheated. • 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. • Remove wire twist-ties from roasting bags before placing the bags in the oven. 8) Utensils/Foil • Do not heat any closed cans or bottles because they might explode. • Metal containers or dishes with metallic trim should not be used during microwave cooking. Sparking will occur. • 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. 9) Feeding Bottles/Baby Food Jars • The top and teat or lid must be removed from feeding bottles or baby food jars before placing in the oven. • The contents of feeding bottles and baby food jars are to be stirred or shaken. • The temperature has to be checked before consumption to avoid burns.

• The cooking time depends on the condition, temperature, amount of food and on the type of cookware. • 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.

Defrosting Guidelines

STANDING TIMES 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.

MINCED MEAT OR CUBES OF MEAT AND SEAFOOD 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 JOINTS AND POULTRY 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.

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.

BREAD 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: 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 authorized Service Center.

Q: My microwave oven causes interference with my TV. Is this normal?

A: Some radio and TV interference might occur when you cook with the microwave 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.

Q: Why does my oven light dim?

A: When cooking with a power other than 800W (MAX Power), the oven must cycle to obtain the lower power levels. The oven light dims and clicking noises can be heard when the oven cycles.

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.
