Frequently Asked Questions - MO20-SM SIGNATURE

How to set the clock on the microwave oven?

The SIGNATURE MO20-SM microwave oven does not have a digital clock. The timer is set with a rotary knob up to 35 minutes. Turn the knob beyond 3 minutes if you wish to set a time less than 2 minutes, then go back to the desired time.

What utensils can I use in this oven?

Use only microwave-safe containers: heat-resistant ceramic (without metallic trim), heat-resistant plastic (not for extended cooking), heat-resistant glass, plastic wrap (except for meat or chops). Never use metal containers.

How to clean the microwave oven?

Unplug the appliance before cleaning. Clean the exterior with a soft damp cloth. For the interior, use a soft damp cloth. Wipe door seals. The turntable, ring and shaft can be washed with soapy water. Never use abrasive detergent or metal brush. Do not remove the waveguide cover.

What if the oven does not turn on?

First check that the door is properly closed. Make sure the cord is plugged in and the outlet works. Check the circuit breaker fuse. If all is in order, place a cup of water (150 ml) in the oven and close the door. Set the timer to 1 minute. If the oven does not heat, contact after-sales service.

Can I operate the oven empty?

No, never operate the oven empty. This could damage the appliance. Always ensure there are food or liquid inside when in use.

How to defrost food?

Never use the metal containers for microwave cooking and combination cooking as spark is likely to occur. You can take the reference of below table.

Material of container	Microwave	Notes
Heat-resistant	Yes	Never use the ceramics which are decorated with metal rim or glazed
ceramic Heat-resistant plastic	Yes	Can not be used for long time microwave cooking
Heat-resistant glass	Yes
Grill rack	No
Plastic film	Yes	It should not be used when cooking meat or chops as the over-temperature may do damage to the film

COOKING TIPS

The following factors may affect the cooking result:

Food arrangement

Place thicker areas towards outside of dish, the thinner part towards the centre and spread it evenly. Do not overlap if possible.

Cooking time length

Start cooking with a short time setting, evaluate it after it times out and extend it according to the actual need.

Over cooking may result in smoke and burns.

Cooking food evenly

Food such as chicken, hamburger or steak should be turned once during cooking.

Depending on the type of food, if applicable, stir it from outside to centre of dish once or twice during cooking

Allow standing time

After cooking times out, leave the food in the oven for an adequate length of time, this allows it to complete its cooking cycle and cooling it down in a gradual manner

Whether the food is done

Color and hardness of food help to determine if it is done, these include:

- Steam coming out from all parts of food, not just the edge

- Joints of poultry can be moved easily

- Pork or poultry shows no signs of blood

- Fish is opaque and can be sliced easily with a fork

Browning dish

When using a browning dish or self-heating container, always place a heat-resistant insulator such as a porcelain plate under it to prevent damage to the turntable and rotating ring.

Microwave safe plastic wrap

When cooking food with high fat content, do not allow the plastic wrap come into contact with food as it may melt

Microwave safe plastic cookware

Some microwave safe plastic cookware might not be suitable for cooking foods with high fat and sugar

content. Also, the preheating time specified in the dish instruction manual must not be exceeded.
