Important Information
1) Cooking Times
• Cooking times given in the cookbook are
approximate. The cooking time depends on
the condition, temperature and amount of
food and on the type of cooking ware.
• Begin with the minimum cooking time to heip
prevent overcooking, if the food is not
sufficientiy cooked you can aiways cook it for
a iittie ionger.
N.B.: If the recommended cooking times
are exceeded the food will be spoiled and
in extreme circumstances could catch fire
and possibiy damage the interior of the
oven.
2) Small Quantities of Foods
• Smaii quantities of food or
foods with iow moisture
content can burn, dry out
or catch on fire if cooked
too iong. if materials
inside the oven should
ignite, keep oven door closed, turn oven
off and remove plug from socket.
3) Eggs
• Do not cook eggs in their
shells by MICROWAVE.
Pressure may build up
and the eggs will explode.
4) Piercing Skin
• Food with non porous
skins, such as potatoes,
egg yolks and sausages
must be pierced before
cooking by MICROWAVE
to prevent bursting.
5) Meat Thermometer
• Use a meat thermometer to check the degree
of cooking of roasts and poultry only when
meat has been removed from oven. Do not
use a conventional meat thermometer when
using MICROWAVE or COMBINATION
mode because they may cause sparking.
6) Liquids
• When heating liquids,
e.g. soup, sauces and;
beverages in your
microwave oven,
overheating the liquid
beyond boiling point
can occur without evidence of bubbling. This ;
could result in a sudden boil over of the hot
liquid. To prevent this possibility the following
steps should be taken:
a) Avoid using straight-sided containers with
narrow necks.
b) Do not overheat.
c) Stir the liquid before placing the container
in the oven and again halfway through
cooking time.
d) After heating, allow to stand in the oven for
a short time, stirring again before carefully
removing the container.
7) Paper/Plastic
• Carefully attend the appliance if paper, plastic
or other combustible materials are placed
inside the oven to facilitate cooking.
• Remove wire twist-ties from roasting bags
before placing bags in oven.
8) Utensils/Foil
• Do not heat any closed cans or bottles
because they might explode.
• Metal containers or dishes with metallic trim
should not be used during Microwave or
Combination cooking. Sparking will occur.
• If you use any aluminium foil, meat spikes or
metal ware the distance between them and
the oven walls and door should be at least
2 cm to prevent sparking.
9) Feeding Bottles/Baby Food Jars
• The contents of feeding bottles and baby
food jars are to be stirred or shaken.
• The temperature has to be checked before
consumption to avoid burns.
