ACCIDENTAL OPERATION CAN CAUSE THESE ITEMS TO GO ON FIRE AND DO DAMAGE TO YOUR MICROWAVE, THEREBY PUTTING YOU AT RISK IF YOU USE IT WHILE IT IS DAMAGED.

A note on the type of energy used by your Microwave Oven

Microwaves are electromagnetic waves that transmit energy. When cooking, the microwave energy penetrates food to a depth of 4cm (1½ inches), causing its molecules to vibrate. The heat produced by this friction enables food to be heated, cooked or defrosted.

How quickly a microwave oven cooks will depend on the size, quality and shape of the food being cooked. Microwave cooking is healthy in that, without the need for large amounts of cooking liquid, it means that food retains vitamins, nutrients, aromas and flavour.

Microwave Ovens are also more energy efficient than conventional cooking because they use up to 70% less energy.

Never use your Microwave Oven to:

PLEASE REMEMBER: NOT ALL FOODS AND UTENSILS ARE SUITABLE for use in MICROWAVE OVENS.

➢ Eggs in their shell or whole hard-boiled eggs since they may explode, even after your Microwave has stopped heating them.

home canning have reached the required boiling temperature.

Foods that need deep-frying: your Microwave cannot deep-fry and is liable to present a fire hazard if you attempt to deep fry with it.

Narrow-necked containers like syrup bottles – the neck could explode.

➢ Never use your Microwave when it is empty. This is a fire hazard.

Sealed liquids and food containers – these will almost certainly explode – NEVER PLACE THEM IN YOUR MICROWAVE!

➢ Foods that you intend to can at home. There is no way of ensuring that foods intended for

And please be careful with ...

BAUMATIC BTM17.3SS - And please be careful with ... - 1

Heating liquids and drinks: when you heat liquid using a Microwave, part of the liquid can exceed boiling point. Its surface tension is such that it will be susceptible to upward surges. To avoid the risk of being scalded, always handle bowls and cups of heated liquid steadily and carefully. PLEASE SEE NEXT PAGE FOR FURTHER ADVICE TO AVOID SCALDING!

You can reduce the chances of this happening further by

  1. Avoiding using straight-sided containers with narrow necks.
  2. Not overheating.
  3. Stirring the liquid before placing the container in the oven and again halfway through the heating time.
  4. After heating, allow to stand in the oven for a short time, stirring again before carefully removing the container, using a cloth or oven glove.

Likewise, if you are heating feeding bottles and baby food jars always stir or shake them and then check the temperature before you serve them, to avoid burns. Remember that babies can be easily scalded!
- If you are cooking bacon, do not place it directly on the turntable as excessive heating may make the turntable likely to break.
Bagged Popcorn – always read the manufacturer's guidelines before Microwaving bagged popcorn.
Always pierce foods with non-porous skins to reduce the risk of them bursting from inside steam build-up; eg: apples, potatoes, chicken livers and egg yolks.
Be sure to make checks on your food during operation to avoid burning and excessive cooking.
Always be careful when opening partially sealed containers – there is the risk of steam escaping.

TO TEST WHETHER YOUR UTENSIL IS MICROWAVE SAFE, YOU CAN CONDUCT THE FOLLOWING TEST:

  1. Fill a microwave-safe container with 1 cup of cold water (250ml) along with the utensil in question.
  2. Cook on maximum power for 1 minute (no longer than this).
  3. Carefully feel the utensil; if it is warm, do NOT use it for microwave cooking.

BAUMATIC BTM17.3SS - Remember - - 3

Before you start using your Microwave, you may want to set the time on the Clock and Preset times for cooking.

√ Each time you press a button, a 'beep' will sound.

  1. Clock setting – For example; to set time as '8:30'
1) Press the ‘CLOCK’ button.
2) Turn the ‘TIME / WEIGHT’ dial clockwise until the correct hour is displayed (In this case: ‘8’).
3) Press the ‘CLOCK’ button.
4) Turn the ‘TIME / WEIGHT’ dial clockwise until the correct minute is displayed (In this case: ‘30’).
5) Press the ‘CLOCK’ button to set the time. It will now read ‘8:30’.
  • Whenever possible, always cook food covered (but not sealed!). Only pastry dishes with crust should be cooked without a cover.
    There are several types of covering suitable for microwave use. Plastic film or glass lids must always be checked to ensure they can be used for microwaving.
    ○ Paper towels, napkins & wax paper are useful loose covers that can prevent 'spitting' and keep moisture in your food.
  • If you can't find cooking details for a specific quantity of food, base the cooking time needed on a similar type of food. You should adjust the cooking time accordingly.
    * Double quantity = almost double time: half quantity = about half the time.
  • Remember that refrigerated food will need longer cooking times. Frozen food will require even more time to cook.
    ○ Arrange food carefully. Always place thickest areas towards the outside of the dish.
  • Watch the cooking time. Cook for the shortest amount of time indicated and only cook for longer if needed after checking your food. Remember that severely overcooked food can smoke or ignite.

Turn foods over once during microwaving to speed cooking of such foods as chicken and hamburgers. Turn large items like roasts at least once.

- Rearrange foods such as meatballs halfway through cooking, both from top to bottom and from the centre of the dish to the outside.

Some soft vegetables (eg. cauliflower, carrots, peas) should be cooked with a little water. However, mushrooms, tomatoes and peppers should be cooked without water. Try to cut larger vegetables into even-sized pieces. Always cook vegetables in a covered container and stir them from time to time.

○ Cook fatty pieces of meat (eg, pork, poultry) on a non metallic grid or upside-down saucer inside a suitable container. This will allow the fat to drain away. Cook leaner types of meat on a browning skillet. Be sure to turn once during the cooking time.

- Ready meals – always make sure that these are marked as being suitable for microwaving. Follow the instructions as printed on the container such as removing the foil lid or pricking the plastic film.

Remember that you will need to allow for standing time after you take your food from your Microwave Oven. Denser foods will take longer to stand to cool properly.

Always keep the door seal surfaces clean!

Clean the inside of your oven after use with a slightly damp cloth.

Clean the glass turntable plate using washing-up liquid or in a dishwasher.

Clean the outside of your Microwave Oven with a soft cloth and a mild, warm detergent solution. Be careful not to let water get into any of the fan portholes or over the power cord.
