Important when using your microwave oven
Do not use your microwave oven for
cooking or reheating whole eggs with or
without shell.
Do not heat, store or use flammable
materials in or near the oven. Fumes can
create a fire hazard or explosion.
Use this appliance only for its intended use as described in
this manual.
Do not use your microwave oven for heating
food or liquids in airtight sealed containers.
The pressure increases and may cause
damage when opening or may explode.
Do not use corrosive chemicals or vapours in this appliance.
This type of oven is specifically designed to heat or cook food.
It is not designed for industrial or laboratory use.
Do not over-cook food. Fire could result.
Some foods which has a low water content e.g. oil, chocolate
and some pastries with sweet fillings, must be heated carefully.
Do not use your microwave oven for drying
textiles, paper, spices, herbs, wood, flowers,
fruit or other combustible materials. Fire could
result.
Do not use your microwave oven for deep frying, because
you cannot control the oil temperature.
Do not leave the oven unattended, especially when using
paper, plastic or other combustible materials in the cooking
process. Paper can char or burn, and some plastics can melt if
used when heating foods. As with any appliance, close
supervision is necessary when used by children.
One of the major advantages of microwave ovens is the
short cooking time. Therefore, do not exceed recommended
times for cooking or re-heating food.
Always refer to a microwave cookbook for details. Especially,
Remove wire twist-ties from paper or plastic bags before
if cooking or reheating food that contains alcohol.
placing bag in the oven.
After heating baby food or liquids in a baby
bottle, always stir and check the temperature
before serving. This will ensure that the heat
is evenly distributed and the risk of scalding
or burns can be avoided.
If material inside the oven should ignite,
keep oven door closed, turn the oven off and
disconnect, the power cord or shut off power
at the fuse or circuit breaker panel.
Ensure the Lid and the Teat is removed
before heating!
When heating liquids, e.g. beverages or water 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:
1. Avoid using straight-sided containers with narrow necks.
2. Stir the liquid before placing the container in the oven and
let the teaspoon remain in the container.
Use hot pads. Microwave energy does not
heat containers, but the hot food does.
Use oven mitts when touching containers,
oven parts, and pan after cooking to prevent
burns.
3. After heating, allow to stand for a short time, stirring again
before carefully removing the container from the oven.

Working with microwaves
Microwaves - what are they?
Food always contains water. When we
heat the food with microwaves the water
molecules in the food are excited and
heat is produced. The microwaves reach
into the food and at the same time
Microwaves are like TV waves or light
waves. You cannot see them, but you can
see their effect.
Just like ordinary daylight passes through
glass, clear plastic and air, the microwaves
have the ability to go through materials like
paper, glass, porcelain, plastic and air.
These materials do not contain water or
metal and will consequently not be heated up
by the microwaves. The microwaves are
reflected by metal in the same way as light is reflected by a
mirror.
enters the food from all directions.
Microwave heating
That’s why the food is heated so rapidly.
You save time when cooking with a microwave oven. You
usually also save energy, especially when cooking small
amounts of food.
If you boil fish in a sauce-pan with water, the electrical energy
must first heat the hot-plate. The heat must transfer from the
hot-plate to the sauce-pan and from the sauce-pan to the water
which then will heat the fish.
In a microwave oven the electrical energy is converted to
microwaves and almost all of the microwave energy is then
converted to heat inside the food
Microwaves are absorbed by water, oil and fat. The water, oil
and fat molecules are exited by microwaves and rub against
each other, just like when you rub your hands quickly against
each other and heat is produced. The speed of rubbing
determines the temperature. Microwave energy is not hot. It
simply causes the food to make its own heat.
When we heat food with infra waves
(Grill or hot air), in a normal oven, the
heat is applied on the surface of the
food and then conducts (transfers) to
the centre of the food. Food has a
rather poor ability to conduct heat and it
therefore takes a long time to heat the
food.

Which utensils can be used in the oven?
Utensils and cooking containers used in a microwave oven
Microwave cooking
Material
should be of a material that allows microwaves to pass freely
through them. Generally this means that you should cook in
either (paper), plastic, glass or ceramic.
Utensils made of china and ceramic are excellent to use in
your microwave oven. Most types of glass are also very good.
Lead crystal glass can crack and should therefore, not be used.
Coloured glass or glass with decorations shall be avoided since
metal e.g. gold, might be part of the decoration and such
decorations will be damaged.

Plastics and paper can also be used, provided they can
withstand the temperature of the heated food. For cooking only
use plastics, which will withstand a temperature of over 1200 C
Some plastic materials, e.g. melamine, will be heated by the
microwaves, and be damaged.
1. Without metal parts or metal trims.
2. Some plastics are heat-proof only to certain temperatures.
3. It is possible to use aluminium foil to shield delicate areas of
food (this prevents over-cooking).
Round or oval shapes give the most even cooking. Square or
rectangular containers may over-cook foods in the corners
because more energy is absorbed there. Shallow containers
give more even cooking results.
To find out if a certain container is suitable,
the following simple test can be made:
Place the empty container and a glass of
water inside the microwave oven. The water
is needed because the oven must not be
operated empty or with empty containers. Let
the oven work on full power for one minute. A suitable
container will only be lukewarm.
Not suitable
Suitable
Metal containers, e.g. saucepans or frying pans should not
be used in microwave ovens.
Microwaves cannot penetrate metal. They will bounce off
any metal object in the oven just as they bounce off the metal
walls of the oven and cause “arcing”, a phenomenon that
resembles lightning.
Small pieces of aluminium foil can be used, but only to
shield the areas that would over-cook (e.g. for covering chicken
wings, leg tips and fish tails) but the foil must not touch the
side of the oven as arcing (damage) may occur.
CAUTION!
There are a number of accessories avaliable on the market
Before you buy, make sure they are suitable for microwave
use.
When you put food in the microwave oven, make sure that
food, food supports or covering do not come in direct contact
with any of the internal walls or the ceiling of the cavity.
Aluminium foil containers and microwaves
* Aluminium foil containers should always be used singly in a
microwave oven, and placed on the glass turn-table
provided.
It is now possible to use disposable aluminium foil containers
in this new generation of microwave ovens, providing these
simple rules are followed:
* Follow the instructions provided by the food producer to
ensure thorough heating of the food product throughout.
If you are using a foil container for self produced foods they
* may take longer to heat than when using plastic, glass,
porcelain or paper containers. Always ensure the food is
piping hot (minimum 720 C) before serving.
* Always remove foil-laminated fibre board lid from the
container before heating, otherwise oven damage can occur.
* Only undamaged foil containers may be used.
* Aluminium foil containers with a height exceeding 3 cm
should be avoided and the container must be at leas t 2/3
full.
A useful tip is to place the foil container in a heat resisting
glass or plastic bowl, adding some hot water (not more than 1
cm deep) to provide heating for the foil container base. Stir if
appropriate or let the food stand for 2-3 minutes after heating,
to assist heat distribution within the container.
* There must be a minimum of 1 cm between the aluminium
foil container and the walls of the oven, to avoid sparking.

Hints
Sugar:
Points to remember when defrosting manually
* The shape of the package alters the defrosting time. Shallow
rectangular packets defrost more quickly than a deep block.
* Separate pieces as they begin to defrost; free-flow slices
defrost more easily.
* Shield areas of food with small pieces of foil if they start to
become warm. Wooden toothpicks may be used to hold the
foil in place.
When cooking foods with a high sugar or fat content, such as
Christmas pudding, mince pies and fruit cake follow the
recommended cooking instructions carefully. Exceeding the
recommended cooking times may result in burning of the food
and damage to the oven.
Releasing pressure in foods
Several foods are tightly covered by a skin or
membrane. These foods should be pricked
with a fork or cocktail stick to relieve the
pressure and to prevent bursting, as steam
builds-up within them during cooking. This
applies to jacket potatoes, potatoes, chicken livers, sausages,
egg yolks and some fruits.
* When defrosting, it is better to under-thaw the food slightly
and allow the process to finish during the standing time.
The amount of food
The more food you want to prepare the longer it takes. A rule of
thumb is that double amount of food requires almost double
the time. If one potato takes four minutes to cook,
approximately seven minutes are required to cook two
potatoes.
Standing time
Always allow the food to stand for some time after
using the oven. Standing time after defrosting,
cooking/reheating always improves the
Moisture content:
Because microwaves are attracted to moisture, cooking time
will vary according to water content. Naturally moist foods such
as vegetables, fish and poultry will cook quickly and evenly;
drier foods such as rice or dried beans require added moisture
for microwave cooking.
result since the temperature will then be
evenly distributed through out the food.
In a microwave oven foods continue to cook even when the
microwave energy is turned off. They are no longer cooked by
microwaves, but they are still being cooked by the conduction
of the high residual heat to the centre of the food. The length of
the standing time depends on the volume and density of the
food. Sometimes it can be as short as the time it takes you to
remove the food from the oven and take it to the serving table.
However, with larger, denser foods, the standing time may be
as long as 10 minutes. The food will finish cooking during this
time.
Condensation:
Humidity and moisture in foods will sometimes cause
condensation on the walls of the oven or inside the door. This
is normal with cooking. Generally, covered foods will cause
less condensation than uncovered foods.
Arranging Food
When you cook or reheat whole fish, score
the skin - this prevents cracking.
The best results are achieved if the food is evenly distributed
on the plate. This is done in several ways in microwave
cooking to give more even cooking results.
If you are cooking several items of the same
food such as jacket potatoes, place them in a
ring pattern for uniform cooking.
Shield the tail and head with small pieces of
foil to prevent over-cooking but ensure the foil
does not touch the sides of the oven.
When cooking foods of uneven shapes or
thickness, place the smaller or thinner area
of the food towards the centre of the dish
where it will be heated last.
Composition of the food
Food with a lot of fat and sugar will be heated faster than food
containing a lot of water. Fat and sugar will also reach a higher
temperature than water in the cooking process.
The more dense the food, the longer it takes to heat. “Very
dense” food like meat takes longer time to reheat than lighter,
more porous food like bread.
Uneven foods such as fish should be
arranged in the oven with the tails to the
centre.
If you are saving a meal in the refrigerator or
“plating” a meal for reheating, arrange the thicker,
denser foods to the outside of the plate and the
thinner or less dense foods in the middle.
Size and shape
Smaller pieces of food will cook faster than larger pieces and
uniform pieces of food cook more evenly than irregularly
shaped foods. To ensure even cooking, cut all pieces of food
into similar sizes and shapes.
Place thin slices of meat on top of each
other or interlace them.
Thicker slices such as meat loaf and
sausages have to be placed close to each
other.
Stirring, turning of foods during cooking
Stirring and turning of foods are techniques used in
conventional as well as in microwave cooking to distribute the
heat quickly to the centre of the dish and avoids over-cooking
at the outer edges of the food. turning foods is especially
important here because it allows for more even cooking. As in
conventional cooking, foods such as roasts need to be elevated
so they are not allowed to steam in their own juices.
Gravy or sauce should be reheated in a
separate container.
Choose a tall, narrow container rather than a low
and wide container. When reheating gravy, sauce
or soup, do not fill the container more than 2/3
