Important Safety Instructions
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 cooking. Sparking
will occur.
If you use any aluminium foil, meat
spikes or metalware the distance
between them and the oven walls
and door should be at least 2 cm to
prevent sparking.
Babies Bottles and Food Jars
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
in order to avoid burns.
See pages 92-93.
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 charts
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 on Microwave or
Combination mode involving
microwave.
