Keep the door or window open to ensure good ventilation. It is strongly recommended to place a cup of water in the turntable, setting at high power and operate for several times.

1) Connect the cord.

WARNING:

• Before connecting the cord, make sure the timer is set to "0" position
• Do not block the ventilation

2) Place the food on the glass turntable and close the door.

WARNING:

- Food must be contained in a utensil.

2.4. Preparation

For a correct use of the appliance, you should follow these preparation instructions:

- Place the food correctly - place the thicker ones closer to the edges of the dish.

• Be aware of the cooking time. Cook in the minimum time indicated and increase it if necessary. Over cooking may result in smoke and burns.
• Cover the food to avoid splashes and to provide even cooking.
• Change the position of certain food, like chicken or hamburgers, during the cooking to speed up the process. Food of bigger dimensions, like roasted meet, should be turned at least one time.
• Arrange in a different way certain foods, like meatballs, at half cooking process: from the centre, around the plate and from bottom to top.

To reduce the risk of fire inside the microwave oven you should follow these steps:

• Do not heat food in sealed containers, and do not overcook the food.
• When heating food in plastic or paper containers, keep an eye on the oven due to the possibility of ignition.
• Do not heat oil or fat for deep drying as the temperature of oil cannot be controlled.
• After use wipe the waveguide cover with a damp cloth, followed by a dry cloth to remove any food splashes and grease. Built-up grease may overheat and begin to cause smoke or catch fire.
• If smoke is observed, switch off or unplug the appliance and keep the door closed in order to stifle any flames.
• Close supervision is necessary when using any one-off containers made from plastic, paper or other combustible material.
• When cooking the food with less moisture content or not heat-resistant container, please use low power to avoid burning.

To reduce the risk of explosion and sudden boiling:

• Do not place sealed containers in the oven. Baby bottles fitted with a screw cap or teat are considered to be sealed containers.
• When boiling liquid in the oven, use the wide-mouthed container. Food at the top of the container must stay away with enough space from the mouth to avoid the food spilled boiling.
• Potatoes, sausages and chestnut should be peeled or pierced before cooking.
• Microwave heating of beverages can result in delayed eruptive boiling, therefore care must be taken when handing the container.
• The contents of feeding bottles and baby food jars shall be stirred or shaken and the temperature checked before consumption, in order to avoid burns.
• Eggs in their shell and whole hard-boiled eggs should not be heated in microwave ovens as they may explode, even after microwave heating has ended.

2.4.1. Tips for Cooking with the Microwave Oven

The following factors may affect the cooking result:

Food arrangement

Place thicker areas towards outside of the 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 the outside to the centre of the 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 cools it down in a gradual manner.

Whether the food is done

Colour and hardness of food helps to determine if it is done, these include:

• Steam coming out of all parts of food, not just the edge.
• Joints of poultry can be moved easily.
• Pork or poultry show 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 to 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

2.4.2. Tips for Defrosting

Microwave penetrates around 4cm into most food, to maximize defrosting effect, the followings are advised:

• For thick and chunky food, turn the food regularly during operation in order to obtain uniform heating effect;
• If food is over 0.5 Kg, it is advised to turn at least 2 times.
• Defrosted food should be consumed as soon as possible. It is not advised to put back in fridge and freeze again.

2.5. Utensils
