Important Information – Read Carefully
Meat Thermometer.
9.
Use a meat thermometer to check the degree
of cooking of joints and poultry only when
meat has been removed from the microwave.
If undercooked, return to the oven and cook
for a few more minutes at the recommended
power level. Do not leave a conventional meat
thermometer in the oven when microwaving.
Paper, Plastic.
10.
When heating food in plastic or paper
containers, keep an eye on the oven due to the
possibility of ignition. Do not use wire twist-ties
with roasting bags as arcing will occur.
Do not use re-cycled paper products, eg
Kitchen roll unless they say they are specifically
designed for use in a microwave oven. These
products contain impurities which may cause
sparks and/or fires when used.
Reheating.
11.
It is essential that reheated food is served
"piping hot".
Remove the food from the oven and check
that it is "piping hot", ie steam is being emitted
from all parts and any sauce is bubbling. (If you
wish you may choose to check the food has
reached 72˚C with a food thermometer – but
remember do not use this thermometer inside
the microwave.)
For foods that cannot be stirred, eg lasagne,
shepherds pie, the centre should be cut with a
knife to test it is well heated through. Even if a
manufacturer's packet instructions have been
followed always check the food is piping hot
before serving and if in doubt return your food
to the oven for further heating.
Standing Time.
12.
Standing time refers to the period at the end of
cooking or reheating when food is left before
being eaten, ie. it is a rest time which allows
the heat in the food to continue to conduct to
the centre, thus eliminating cold spots.

Keeping Your Oven Clean.
13.
It is essential for the safe operation of the oven
that it is wiped out regularly. Use warm soapy
water, squeeze the cloth out well and use to
remove any grease or food from the interior.
Pay particular attention to the door seal area
and also the areas around the microwave feed
guide situated on the right hand side of the
cavity wall. The oven should be unplugged
when cleaning.
Grilling
14.
The oven will only operate on the GRILL
function with the door closed.
Babies Bottles and Food Jars.
15.
When reheating babies bottles always remove
top and teat. Liquid at the top of the bottle will
be much hotter than that at the bottom and
must be shaken thoroughly before checking
the temperature. The lid must also be removed
from babies food jars, the contents must also
be stirred or shaken before the temperature
is checked. This should be carried out before
consumption to avoid burns. See page 22.
Arcing.
16.
Arcing may occur if a metal container has
been used accidentally, the grill rack has been
damaged, or the incorrect weight of food is
used. Arcing is when blue flashes of light are
seen in the microwave oven. If this occurs,
stop the machine immediately. If the oven
is left unattended and this continues it can
damage the machine. Continue to cook by
GRILL only.
Maximum Weight on Turntable
17.
The maximum weight that can be placed on
the turntable is 3 kg (6 lb 10 oz) (this includes
total weight of food and dish).
