Important Information - Read Carefully

Safety
If smoke is emitted 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 power at fuse or 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 initially 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.
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.
Note
Never operate the oven
without food inside (except
when preheating).
Foods Low in Moisture
Take care when heating foods low in
moisture, e.g. bread items, chocolate,
biscuits and pastries. These can easily
burn, dry out or catch on fire if cooked
too long. We do not recommend
heating foods low in moisture such
as popcorn or poppadoms. The
microwave oven is intended for heating
food and beverages only. Drying of
food, newspapers or clothing and
heating of warming pads, slippers,
sponges, damp cloth, wheat bags, hot
water bottles and similar may lead to
risk of injury, ignition or fire.
Christmas Pudding
Christmas puddings and other foods
high in fats or sugar, e.g. jam, mince
pies, must not be over heated. These
foods must never be left unattended
as with over cooking these foods can
ignite.
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.
Foods with Skins
Potatoes, apples, egg yolk, whole
vegetables and sausages are
examples of food with non porous
skins. These must be pierced using a
fork before cooking to prevent bursting.
