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. (Consult your cookbook for correct use of these products.)

3. Plastic dishes, cups, freezer bags, and plastic

wraps may be used in the microwave oven. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions or the information given in the cookbook when using plastics in the microwave oven.

4. Metal utensils and utensils with metallic trim

should not be used in the microwave oven. For more information on the proper use of metal in your oven, please read the introduction section in the cookbook. If the use of aluminum foil, skewers, or utensils containing metal in the oven is specified in the recipe, allow at least 2.5cm clearance between the metal object and the interior oven wall. If arcing (sparks) occurs, remove immediately. Note: Consult your cookbook, individual recipes, and charts for correct use of cooking containers, products, and other useful information. Grill

Metal cookware no yes Non-heat resistant glass no no Microwave plastic yes no Plastic wrap yes no Paper (cup, plates, towels) yes no Straw, wicker and wood no noOther Helpful Instructions Cleaning and Care 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 minimum time and checking con- dition occasionally. 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 Foods:

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

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.

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 foods. 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. BE SURE THE OVEN IS TURNED OFF BEFORE CLEANING. Keep the oven interior surfaces clean and dry. As a general rule clean after each use. INTERIOR WALLS Remove any crumbs and food remains between the door and oven using a damp cloth. This area has to be particularly well cleaned to ensure the door will close properly. Remove any grease splashes with a soapy cloth then rinse and dry. Do not use abrasives which may scratch and damage the painted surface of the oven.

NEVER POUR WATER INTO THE OVEN

ROLLER REST The roller rest should be removed and cleaned in hot soapy water at least once a week to prevent grease restricting the rotation of the wheels. DOOR The door and door seals should be kept clean at all times. Use only warm, soapy water to rinse then dry thoroughly. DO NOT USE ABRASIVE MATERIALS, SUCH AS

CLEANING POWDERS OR STEEL AND PLASTIC

PADS. Metal parts will be easier to maintain if wiped frequently with a damp cloth. EXTERIOR Clean with mild soap and warm water, rinse and dry with a soft cloth. Do not use abrasive materials. Do not spill water in the vents. If the power lead becomes soiled wipe it with a damp cloth. Do not use any steam cleaner. ENGLISH 11MICROWAVE COOKING See page 3.

1. Open the oven door, place the food on the

turntable in the oven, and close the oven door.

2. Set the power selector () to the

desired power level. There are five power levels from Watts to max. The power selector can be set to any one of these positions.

3. Set the timer () to the desired cooking

time. The turntable begins to rotate and cooking starts. At the end of cooking time the bell will ring, and the lamp is turned off. Note:

• Each number on the scale represents one minute. To ensure accurate timing, it is advisable to turn the timer knob slightly past the desired cooking time and then back to the proposed setting.

• Press the door opener to check the cooking condition during oven operation. Opening the door during cooking automatically turns off the oven and stops the timer. If cooking is to continue, close the door - the oven will turn on and the timer will resume counting.

• The turntable may rotate in either direction.

See page 3. Defrosting frozen food is one of the benefits of a microwave oven. Defrosting using a microwave oven is much faster than in the refrigerator and safer than at room temperature, as it does not promote the growth of harmful bacteria. It is important to remember that defrosting takes longer than normal cooking. Check the food, turning it over at least once during defrosting.

2. Turn the timer knob () clockwise to set the

weight (kg) of food. NOTE: The oven starts working as soon as the timer knob is turned. Each number on the scale represents one kg. Operating Procedure MH602 2D / MH6022DW GRILL COOKINGSee page 3.1.

the defrosting mode. ( ) Questions and Answers Q. What’s wrong when the oven light will not glow?

Light bulb has blown.

Door is 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. The microwave has been made to vent this steam out of the side vent, 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 witthout 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 time. 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 cavity happens.

You are using dishes with metal parts or trim (silver or gold).

You have left a fork or other metal utensil in the oven.

You are using a large amount of metal foil.
