Important Safety Instructions
Boiled Eggs
Eggs in their shell and whole
hardboiled eggs should not be
heated in microwave ovens since
they may explode even after
microwave heating has ended.
Lids
Always remove the lids of jars and
containers and takeaway food
containers before you microwave
them. If you don't then steam and
pressure might build up inside and
cause an explosion even after the
microwave cooking has stopped.
Deep Fat Frying
Do not attempt to deep fat fry in
your oven.
Reheating
It is essential that reheated food
is served "piping hot". Remove
the food from the oven and check
that it is "piping hot", i.e. 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, e.g.
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
Standing time refers to the period
at the end of cooking or reheating
when food is left before being eaten,
i.e. 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
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. The
oven should be unplugged when
cleaning.
Grilling
The oven will only operate on the
Grill function with the door closed.
Storage of Accessories
Do not store any objects other than
oven accessory inside the oven in
case it is accidentally turned on.
Arcing
Arcing may occur if a metal
container has been used incorrectly,
if the incorrect weight of food is
used, or if the accessories have
been damaged. 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. You can continue to cook
by Grill, Oven or Steam only.
