COOKWARE
1. Before using the oven always check that containers
are suitable. DO NOT MICROWAVE sealed
containers as they may explode.
N.B. Always check manufacturer’s instructions as
some food manufacturers are producing food in
containers that do not require piercing.
2. DO NOT leave the appliance unattended if paper,
plastic or other combustible containers are used.
Do not use re-cycled paper products, as they may
contain impurities which may cause sparks and/or
fires when used, unless packaging states they are
specifically designed for MICROWAVE use.
3. Heat-proof glassware, such as Pyrocream and
Pyrex, is best suited for use in the Microwave Oven.
4. Do not use metal ware, ceramics trimmed with gold
or silver, or any container with a metal content.
5. If “arcing” should occur, check the cookware
carefully again for metal.
6. You may use ordinary glassware, chinaware,
plastic-ware and paper-ware, when cooking food
that requires a low temperature. Using this type of
cookware for high temperature cooking may cause
cracking or warping.
CAUTION
Do not use METAL UTENSILS in this oven.
OTHER HELPFUL
INSTRUCTIONS
For best results
1. When determining heating time for a particular food,
always calculate the minimum time and check
occasionally during cooking for progress. The
Microwave Oven cooks so quickly, it is easy to
overcook foods.
2. Be careful of the cooking time for small quantities of
food, or food with low water content. They may burn
if cooked too long.
3. Do not use the oven for drying kitchen towels or
napkins. They may burn if heated too long.
4. Do not try to boil eggs in the oven.
5. When you cook an egg be sure to pierce the yolk
membrane prior to placing into the oven to prevent
the egg bursting.
6. To achieve a more even cooking result, give the
dish a half-turn, or turn the food over.
DEFROSTING FROZEN
FOODS
1. If you try to completely defrost frozen food in the
Microwave Oven, uneven defrosting may occur due
to the differences in the thickness and shape of the
food. In actual usage of frozen food, you should not
normally defrost them 100%, 70% defrosting in the
Microwave Oven is ideal and helpful for the next
cooking operation.
2. To defrost evenly, turn the food 180˚, or turn it over
during defrosting.
3. To defrost fatty meat, heat it in the Microwave Oven
for a short time and leave it to stand at room
temperature, or heat it intermittently until defrosted.
4. When you defrost a whole chicken, or any frozen
food of irregular shape, wrap legs or thin parts with
aluminum foil. Otherwise thin parts will be defrosted
faster and sometimes cooked before other parts
have properly defrosted.
5. Ice should be removed during defrosting.
TWO LEVEL COOKING
When heating, one item always place the container
in the centre of the base plate.
When using the microwave mainly for reheating one
item at a time, remove the shelf and work on the
base plate.
When reheating two items at a time place both
dishes on the base plate side by side, unless the
containers are too large and then place one on the
shelf.
When heating more than two plates, place the
dishes evenly on the base and shelf.
Allow some space between each plate, do not cram
too much food into the oven.
