Microwave cooking guidelines

• If you are heating liquid in the microwave, then you must also place a teaspoon in the container. This will ensure that the liquid does not boil suddenly after being removed from the microwave cavity.
• This phenomenon is called “delayed boiling”, this means that a liquid can be close to boiling point, even if there is no steam coming off the liquid or the liquid is not bubbling. If the liquid container is even gently shaken, then the liquid can without warning boil over or even spurt. This could scald the end user.
  ○ If the food you are cooking has a skin or peel (e.g. sausages, tomatoes, potatoes etc), then you should pierce the skin or peel with a fork. This will ensure that if steam is created during the heating process, it can escape and the food will not burst.
  When heating baby food, the bottle or jar containing the food should NEVER have a top or lid on. After cooking, to ensure that the food has been heated uniformly, you should stir or shake the food. IMPORTANT: You must check the temperature of the food before feeding it to a child.
• When heating food in a microwave, it will transmit the heat to the container that the food is in or on. You should ALWAYS use oven gloves when removing items from the microwave.
• You should make sure that you do not cook food for too long or at too high a power level. This could cause certain areas of the food to dry out or even ignite.
• You should not use ceramic or porcelain crockery, or porous earthenware inside of your microwave. These dishes could absorb moisture from the food whilst it is cooking, which could cause pressure to build up and shatter the dish.
• If you are heating certain foods and any liquid, moisture will evaporate and condensation may occur. This does not indicate that the appliance is faulty and it can be particularly noticeable if the ambient temperature of the room is high.

- IMPORTANT: Any condensation should be wiped up with a soft cloth as soon as you have finished using the microwave.

- After the cooking time has completed, you should let the food stand for a few minutes. This is called “standing time” and will allow the heat generated by the microwave to spread evenly throughout the food.

Materials you can use in a microwave oven

Material	Remarks
Aluminium foil	To be used for shielding only. Small smooth pieces can be used to cover thin parts of meat or poultry to prevent overcooking. Arcing can occur if foil is too close to the cavity walls. The foil should be at least 2.5 cm away from the cavity walls.
Browning dish	Follow the manufacturer's instructions. The bottom of the browning dish must be at least 5 mm thick above the turntable. Incorrect usage may cause the turntable to break.
Dinnerware	Microwave-safe only. Follow the manufacturer's instructions. Do not use cracked or chipped dishes.
Glass jars Always remove the lid. Use only to heat food until just warm. Most glass jars are not heat resistant and may break.
Glassware Heat-resistant oven glassware only. Make sure there is no metallic trim. Do not use cracked or chipped dishes.
Oven cooking bags	Follow the manufacturer's instructions. Do not close with a metal tie. Make slits in the bag to allow steam to escape.
Paper plates and cups	Use for short-term cooking/warming only. Do not leave the oven unattended whilst cooking.
Paper towels Use to cover food for reheating and absorbing fat. Use under supervision and for short-term cooking only.
Parchment paper	Use as a cover to prevent splattering or as a wrap for steaming
Plastic	Microwave-safe only. Follow the manufacturer's instructions. It should be labelled as “microwave safe”. Some plastic containers soften as the food inside gets hot. “Boiling bags” and tightly closed plastic bags should be slit, pierced or vented, as described by the package.
Plastic wrap Microwave-safe only. Use to cover food during cooking to retain moisture. Do not allow the plastic wrap to touch the food.
Thermometers Microwave-safe only. Meat and candy thermometers.
Wax paper Use as a cover to prevent splattering and to retain moisture.

Materials not to be placed in a microwave oven

Material	Remarks
Aluminium tray May cause arcing. Transfer food into a microwave-safe dish.
Food carton with metal handle	May cause arcing. Transfer food into a microwave-safe dish.
Metal or metal-trimmed utensils	Metal shields the food from microwave energy. The metal trim may cause arcing.
Metal twist ties May cause arcing and could cause a fire in the oven.
Paper bags May cause a fire in the oven.
Plastic foam Plastic foam may melt or contaminate the liquid inside when exposed to a high temperature.
Wood Wood will dry out when used in the microwave oven and may split or crack.

Defrosting guidelines

○ Only use microwave-safe dishes for defrosting (porcelain, glass, suitable plastic).
- The defrosting time depends on the quantity and weight of the food that you are defrosting. When freezing, you should split the food into quantities that are suitable for defrosting in the microwave.
○ Distribute the food as evenly as possible within the microwave cavity. The thickest parts of fish or chicken legs should be placed on top.
- The thicker parts of the food should be turned around several times during the defrosting process.
- Foods that are rich in fats, such as butter, cottage cheese and cream should not be entirely defrosted. If they are at room temperature, they will be ready to serve within a few minutes. If cream are deep frozen and little bits of ice remain on the top of it, the cream should be whipped before eating.
- Bread should be wrapped in a napkin so that it does not get too dry when being defrosted.
- Remove frozen food from its packaging and do not forget to remove any metal clips. If the containers are suitable for placing in a freezer and a microwave, then you can simply remove the lid.
- The liquid that is created during the defrost process, particularly in the case of poultry should be discarded. Under no circumstances should it come into contact with other foods.
○ A resting period is required when defrosting food, to ensure that the food is totally defrosted. This normally takes between 15 – 20 minutes.

Cleaning operations must only be carried out when the oven is cool.

The appliance should be disconnected from your mains supply before commencing any cleaning process.

The appliance exterior

• You should wipe over the front of the appliance with a soft cloth and warm water mixed with a little washing up liquid.
• DO NOT use abrasive cleaners or sharp objects to clean the front surface of the microwave.

The appliance interior

• You should wipe over the inside of the appliance with a soft cloth and warm water mixed with a little washing up liquid.
• You should pay particular attention to the door seal and the surrounding area.

General cleaning advice

• IMPORTANT: Any condensation should be wiped up with a soft cloth as soon as you have finished using the microwave.
  To remove odours from inside of the microwave, you should boil one cup of water mixed with several tablespoons of lemon juice inside of the cavity.

- The microwave should be thoroughly cleaned before it is operated for the first time and after each use. This will avoid residual food stuffs becoming baked on the oven cavity. After residues have been baked on several times, they are far more difficult to remove.

- Never clean the oven surfaces by steam cleaning.

- We would recommend that an appropriate stainless steel cleaner and polish is regularly used on the stainless steel surfaces of this appliance.

- If you use any form of oven cleaner on your appliance, then you must check with the manufacturer of the cleaner that it is suitable for use on your appliance.

- Any damage that is caused to the appliance by a cleaning product will not be fixed by Baumatic free of charge, even if the appliance is within the guarantee period.
