3.4 Microwave cooking principles

1. Arrange food carefully. Place thickest areas to-
wards outside of dish.
2. Watch cooking time. Cook for the shortest amo-
unt of time indicated and add more as needed.
Food severely overcooked can smoke or ignite.
3. Cover foods while cooking. Covers prevent
spattering and help foods to cook evenly.
4. Turn foods over once during microwaving to
speed cooking of such foods as chicken and
hamburgers. Large items like roasts must be
turned over at least once.
5. Rearrange foods such as meatballs halfway
through cooking both from top to bottom and
from the center of the dish to the outside.

3.5 Before you call for service

If the oven fails to operate:
1. Check to ensure that the oven is plugged in
securely. If it is not, remove the plug from the
outlet, wait 10 seconds, and plug it in again
securely.
2. Check for a blown circuit fuse or a tripped main
circuit breaker. If these seem to be operating
properly, test the outlet with another appliance.
3. Check to ensure that the control panel is prog-
rammed correctly and the timer is set.
4. Check to ensure that the door is securely clo-
sed engaging the door safety lock system.
Otherwise, the microwave energy will not flow
into the oven.
IF NONE OF THE ABOVE RECTIFIES THE SITUATION,
THEN CONTACT A QUALIFIED TECHNICIAN.
DO NOT TRY TO ADJUST OR REPAIR THE OVEN
YOURSELF.

3.6 Utensils guide

1. Microwave cannot penetrate metal. Only use
utensils that are suitable for use in microwave
ovens. Metallic containers for food and bever-
ages are not allowed during microwave cook-
ing. This requirement is not applicable if the
manufacturer specifies size and shape of me-
tallic containers suitable for microwave cooking.
2. Microwave cannot penetrate metal, so metal
utensils or dishes with metallic trim should not
be used.
3. Do not use recycled paper products when mic-
rowave cooking, as they may contain small me-
tal fragments which may cause sparks and/or
fires.
4. Round /oval dishes rather than square/oblong
ones are recommend, as food in corners tends
to overcook.
5. Narrow strips of aluminum foil may be used to
prevent overcooking of exposed areas. But be
careful don't use too much and keep a distance
of 1 inch (2.54cm) between foil and cavity.
