sausages and
oysters
* Puncture egg yolks and whites and
oysters before cooking to prevent
"explosion".
* Pierce skins of potatoes, apples,
squash, hot dogs, sausages and
oysters so that steam escapes.
* Cook eggs in shells. This prevents
"explosion", which may damage the
oven or injure yourself.
* Reheat whole eggs.
* Overcook oysters.
* Dry nuts or seeds in shells.
Popcorn
* Use specially bagged popcorn for the
microwave oven.
* Pop popcorn in regular brown bags or
glass bowls.

suitable temperature to prevent burns.
* Remove the screw cap and teat
before warming baby bottles. After
warming shake thoroughly. Check for
suitable temperature.
Only heat until warm.
* Heat bottles with nipples on.
* Heat baby food in original jars.
General
* Food with filling should be cut after
heating, to release steam and avoid
burns.
* Heat or cook in closed glass jars or air
tight containers.
* Stir liquids briskly before and after
cooking for even heating.
* Use a deep bowl when cooking liquids
or cereals to prevent boiling over.
* For boiling or cooking liquids see
WARNING on page 2.
* Deep fat fry.
* Heat or dry wood, herbs, wet papers,
clothes or flowers.
* Operate the oven without a load (i.e. an
absorbing material such as food or wa-
ter) in the oven cavity.
Canned foods
* Remove food from can.
* Heat or cook food while in cans.
* Overcook as they may catch fire.
Sausage rolls,
Pies, Christmas
pudding
* These foods have high sugar and/or
fat contents.
* Cook for the recommended time.
Meats
* Use a microwave proof roasting rack
to collect drained juices.
* Place meat directly on the ceramic
shelf for cooking.
Utensils
* Check the utensils are suitable for
MICROWAVE cooking before you use
them.
* Use metal utensils for MICROWAVE
cooking. Metal reflects microwave
energy and may cause an electrical
discharge known as arcing.
Aluminium foil
Browning dish
* Use to shield food to prevent over
cooking.
* Watch for sparking. Reduce foil or
keep clear of cavity walls.
* Use too much.
* Shield food close to cavity walls.
Sparking can damage the cavity.
* Place a suitable insulator such as
microwave and heat proof dinner plate
between the ceramic shelf and the
browning dish.
* Exceed the preheating time recom-
mended by the manufacturer. Exces-
sive preheating can damage internal
parts of the oven.

of mince, turn food over and shield edges with foil strips after the oven
beeps.
* After defrost time, stand covered with foil for 10-15 minutes.
See Note below
Chicken Pieces
* Shield the exposed bone with foil.
* Turn food over, rearrange and shield the warm portions after the oven
beeps.
See Note below
* After defrost time, stand covered with foil for 10-15 minutes.
* Shield the edge with foil strips about 2.5 cm wide.
Roast Beef
Pork
* Place joint with lean side face upwards (if possible).
* Turn food over and shield the warm portions after the oven beeps.
* After defrost time, stand covered with foil for 10-50 minutes.
Lamb
Check food after standing. If additional time is needed, continue to defrost with 20% power and additional time.
Food not listed in the Chart can be defrosted using 20% setting.
Note: When freezing minced beef, shape it into flat even sizes. For chicken pieces, steaks and chops, freeze
separately in single flat layers and if necessary interleave with freezer plastic to separate layers. This
will ensure even defrosting. It is also a good idea to label the packs with the correct weights.

CARE AND CLEANING
CLEAN THE OVEN AT REGULAR INTERVALS
IMPORTANT
• DO NOT OPERATE the oven without the splash cover in place.
• DO NOT REMOVE the splash cover UNLESS THE POWER CORD IS REMOVED FROM THE OUTLET
because the rotary antenna, which is located on the ceiling, operates for 1 minute after the door is
opened and injury could occur.
• Do not use commercial oven cleaners, abrasive or harsh cleaners or scouring pads on any part of your
microwave oven.
• Do not sprinkle water onto the oven directly. It may cause electric shock, leakage of electricity or damage
of the oven.
Exterior:
The outside may be cleaned with mild soap and warm water, wipe clean with a damp cloth. Avoid the use of
harsh abrasive cleaners.
NOTE: Please ensure the oven is not splashed with excessive water at all times as it could lead to an electrical
failure.
Door:
Wipe the door and window on both sides, the door seals and adjacent parts frequently with a damp cloth to
remove any spills or spatters. Do not use abrasive cleaner.
Touch Control Panel
Care should be taken in cleaning the touch control panel. Open the oven door before cleaning to inactivate the
control panel. Wipe the panel with a cloth dampened slightly with water only.
Do not scrub or use any sort of chemical cleaners. Avoid the use of excess water.
Interior walls:
To clean the interior surfaces, wipe with a soft cloth and warm water at the end of each day for hygienic
reasons. DO NOT USE A COMMERCIAL OVEN CLEANER, ABRASIVE OR HARSH CLEANERS AND
SCOURING PADS ON ANY PART OF YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN. NEVER SPRAY OVEN CLEANERS
DIRECTLY ONTO ANY PART OF YOUR OVEN.
Avoid using excess water. After cleaning the oven, ensure any water is removed with a soft cloth.
For heavier soil, use mild soap; rinse thoroughly with hot water. Make sure that mild soap or water does not
penetrate through the small vents in the walls which may cause damage to the oven.

HELPFUL HINTS
1. THE ARRANGEMENT
2. TURNING
Arrange foods carefully. Place thickest areas
toward outside of dish.
Foodssuchaspoultryandjointsofmeatshouldbe
turned over after half the cooking time.
3. COVERING
4. PIERCING
Cover foods in the microwave if you would nor-
mally cover the food in your ordinary oven, or to
retain moisture. Cover foods such as Vegetables,
Casseroles, or when Reheating.
Pierce potatoes, eggs, tomatoes or any foods
with a skin or membrane to allow steam to
escape.
Use to cover foods:
TOMATO
EGG
PLASTIC WRAP
PAPER TOWEL
LID
5. SHIELDING
6. STANDING TIME
Shield using small pieces of aluminium foil to
shield thin areas of meat, fish and poultry or
edges of cakes to prevent overcooking.
Standing time is important. After cooking or
defrosting ensure adequate standing time. This
allows the food to continue cooking or heating.
8. SIZE
FISH
CHICKEN
7. STIRRING
Small pieces cook faster than large ones. To
speed cooking, cut pieces smaller than 5 cm so
microwaves can penetrate to the centre from all
sides. For even cooking, make all the pieces the
same size.
Stir foods from the outside to the centre of the
dish, once or twice during cooking if possible.
Eg. Casseroles and Sauces.
9. DENSITY
10. FAT AND BONE
The depth to which microwaves penetrate food
varies depending on the food's density. Porous
foods like minced beef or mashed potatoes
microwave faster than dense ones like steak or
whole potatoes
Marbling within meat, or a thin, even layer of fat
on a roast, speeds cooking. Large fatty areas or
excess drippings in dish attract energy away
from meat, and slows cooking. Centre bones do
not affect cooking, but bone on the side of meat
conducts heat to the areas next to it.
11. STARTING TEMPERATURE
12. QUANTITY
Frozen or refrigerated foods take longer to heat
than food at room temperature. Cooking times
in this book are based on normal storage tem-
peratures. Since rooms, refrigerators and freez-
ersdifferintemperature, checkcookingresultat
the minimum time.
Microwave cooking times are directly related to
the amount of food in the oven. Because energy
is absorbed by the food itself, one potato or a
single piece of chicken cooks rapidly. When the
energy is divided among several items, cooking
takes more time.
13.CONDENSATION
Condensation is a normal part of microwave
cooking. The humidity and moisture in food will
influence the amount of condensation in the
oven. Generally, coveredfoodswillnotcauseas
muchcondensationasuncoveredfoods.Ensure
that the ventilation openings are not blocked.
