Important information

Safety
If smoke or a fire occurs in the oven, press
stop/cancel pad and leave the door closed
in order to stifle any flames.
Disconnect the power cord, or shut off the
power at the fuse or the circuit breaker
panel.
Short cooking times
As microwave cooking times are much
shorter than other cooking methods it is
essential that recommended cooking times
are not exceeded without first checking the
food.
Cooking times given in the cookbook are
approximate. Factors that may affect
cooking times are: preferred degree of
cooking, starting temperature, altitude,
volume, size and shape of foods and utensils
used. As you become familiar with the
oven, you will be able to adjust these
factors.
It is better to undercook rather than
overcook foods. If food is undercooked, it
can always be returned to the oven for
further cooking. If food is overcooked,
nothing can be done. Always start with
minimum cooking times.
Important.
If the recommended cooking times are
exceeded the food will be spoiled and in
extreme circumstances could catch fire and
possibly damage the interior of the oven.
1. Small quantities of food
Take care when heating small quantities
of food as these can easily burn, dry out
or catch fire if cooked too long. Always
set short cooking times and check the
food frequently.
Never operate the oven
without food inside on
microwave
2. Foods low in moisture
Take care when heating foods low in
moisture, eg bread items, chocolate,
popcorn, biscuits and pastries. These
can easily burn, dry out or catch on fire
if cooked too long.
3. Christmas pudding
Christmas puddings and other foods
high in fats or sugar, eg. jam, mince pies,
must not be over heated. These foods
must never be left unattended as with
over cooking these foods can ignite.
4. Boiled eggs
Eggs in their shell and whole
hard-boiled eggs should not be heated
in microwave ovens since they may
explode even after microwave
heating has ended.
