WARNING  
Read all instructions before using the appliance.  
To reduce the risk of fire in the oven cavity:  
a. Do not overcook food.  
b. Remove wire twist-ties from paper or plastic bags before placing bag in the oven.  
c. Do not heat oil or fat for deep frying. The temperature of the oil cannot be controlled.  
d. Look at the oven from time to time when food is heated in disposable containers made of plastic,  
paper or other combustible materials for signs of smoke or burning.  
e. If materials inside the oven should ignite, or smoke is observed, keep oven door closed, turn oven  
off, and disconnect the power cord, or shut off power at the fuse or circuit breaker panel.  
To reduce the risk of explosion and sudden boiling:  
a, Do not place sealed containers in the oven. Babies bottles fitted with a screw cap or teat are  
considered to be sealed containers.  
b, When boiling liquids in the oven, use a wide-mouthed container and stand about 20 seconds at the  
end of cooking to avoid delayed eruptive boiling of liquids.  
This oven is for home food preparation only and should only be used for heating, cooking and defrosting food  
and beverage.  
It is not suitable for commercial, laboratory use, or heating therapeutic devices eg. Wheat bags.  
Never operate the oven whilst any object is caught or jammed between the door and the oven.  
Do not try to adjust or repair the oven yourself because of hazard. The oven must be adjusted or repaired

HELPFUL HINTS  
1. THE ARRANGEMENT  
Arrange foods carefully. Place thickest areas toward outside of dish.  
2. TURNING  
Foods such as poultry and joints of meat should be turned over after half the cooking  
time.  
3. COVERING  
4. PIERCING  
Coverfoodsinthemicrowaveifyouwouldnormallycoverthefoodinyourordinaryoven,  
ortoretainmoisture. CoverfoodssuchasVegetables, Casseroles, orwhenReheating.  
Use to cover foods:  
Pierce potatoes, eggs, tomatoes or any foods with a skin or membrane to allow steam  
to escape.  
TOMATO  
EGG  
5. SHIELDING  
6. STANDING TIME  
LID  
PLASTIC WRAP  
PAPER TOWEL  
Shield using small pieces of aluminium foil to shield thin areas of meat, fish and poultry  
or edges of cakes to prevent overcooking.  
Standing time is important. After cooking or defrosting ensure adequate standing time.  
This allows the food to continue cooking or heating. Refer to cooking guides for each  
menu or according to manufacturers instructions.  
8. SIZE  
7. STIRRING  
FISH  
CHICKEN  
Small pieces cook faster than large ones. To speed up cooking, cut pieces smaller than  
5 cm so microwaves can penetrate to the centre from all sides. For even cooking, make  
all the pieces the same size.  
Stir foods from the outside to the centre of the dish, once or twice during cooking if  
possible.  
Eg. Casseroles and Sauces.  
10. FAT AND BONE  
9. DENSITY  
Marbling within meat, or a thin, even layer of fat on a roast, speeds cooking. Large fatty  
areas or excess drippings in dish attract energy away from meat, and slows cooking.  
Centre bones do not affect cooking, but bone on the side of meat conducts heat to the  
areas next to it.  
The depth to which microwaves penetrate food varies depending on the food's density.  
Porous foods like minced beef or mashed potatoes microwave faster than dense ones  
like steak or whole potatoes.  
11. STARTING TEMPERATURE  
12. QUANTITY  
Frozenorrefrigeratedfoodstakelongertoheatthanfoodatroomtemperature.Cooking  
times in this book are based on normal storage temperatures. Since rooms, refrigera-  
tors and freezers differ in temperature, check cooking result at the minimum time.  
Microwavecookingtimesaredirectlyrelatedtotheamountoffoodintheoven.Because  
energy is absorbed by the food itself, one potato or a single piece of chicken cooks  
rapidly. When the energy is divided among several items, cooking takes more time.  
13.CONDENSATION  
Condensationisanormalpartofmicrowavecooking.Thehumidityandmoistureinfood  
will influence the amount of condensation in the oven. Generally, covered foods will not  
cause as much condensation as uncovered foods. Ensure that the ventilation openings  
are not blocked.
