If you practice operating the oven put a glass of water inside The water will absorb the microwave energy and the oven will not be damaged Poor television reception and radio interference may result if the oven is located close to a TV radio or aerial Important when using your microwave oven Do not heat store or use flammable materials in or near the oven Fumes can create a fire hazard or explosion Use this appliance only for its intended use as described in this manual Do not use corrosive chemicals or vapours in this appliance This type of oven is specifically designed to heat or cook food It is not designed for industrial or laboratory use Do not over cook food Fire could result Do not use your microwave oven for drying textiles paper spices herbs wood flowers fruit or other combustible materials Fire could result Do not leave the oven unattended especially when using paper plastic or other combustible materials in the cooking process Paper can char or burn and some plastics can melt if used when heating foods As with any appliance close supervision is necessary when used by children Remove wire twist ties from paper or plastic bags before placing bag in the oven If material inside the oven should ignite keep oven door closed turn the oven off and disconnect the power cord or shut off power at the fuse or circuit breaker panel When heating liquids e g beverages or wat2. Metal pots or pans Paper 1 Without metal parts or metal trims 2 Some plastics are heat proof only to certain temperatures 3 It is possible to use aluminium foil to shield delicate areas of food this prevents over cooking To find out if a certain container is suitable the following simple test can be made Place the empty container and a glass of water inside the microwave oven The water is needed because the oven must not be operated empty or with empty containers Let the oven work on full power for one minute A suitable container will only be lukewarm CAUTION There are a number of accessories avaliable on the market Before you buy make sure they are suitable for microwave use When you put food in the microwave oven make sure that food food supports or covering do not come in direct contact with any of the internal walls or the ceiling of the cavity Aluminium foil containers and microwaves It is now possible to use disposable aluminium foil containers in this new generation of microwave ovens providing these simple rules are followed Always remove foil laminated fibre board lid from the container before heating otherwise oven damage can occur Only undamaged foil containers may be used Aluminium foil containers with a height exceeding 3 cm should be avoided and the container must be at leas t 2 3 full There must be a minimum of 1 cm between the aluminium foil container and the
3. evenly distributed through out the food In a microwave oven foods continue to cook even when the microwave energy is turned off They are no longer cooked by microwaves but they are still being cooked by the conduction of the high residual heat to the centre of the food The length of the standing time depends on the volume and density of the food Sometimes it can be as short as the time it takes you to remove the food from the oven and take it to the serving table However with larger denser foods the standing time may be as long as 10 minutes The food will finish cooking during this time D Arranging Food The best results are achieved if the food is evenly distributed on the plate This is done in several ways in microwave cooking to give more even cooking results If you are cooking several items of the same food such as jacket potatoes place them in a ring pattern for uniform cooking When cooking foods of uneven shapes or thickness place the smaller or thinner area of the food towards the centre of the dish where it will be heated last Uneven foods such as fish should be arranged in the oven with the tails to the centre If you are saving a meal in the refrigerator or plating a meal for reheating arrange the thicker denser foods to the outside of the plate and the thinner or less dense foods in the middle Place thin slices of meat on top of each other or interlace them Thicker slices such

6. Working with microwaves Microwaves Ea Microwaves are like TV waves or light waves You cannot see them but you can see their effect Just like ordinary daylight passes through glass clear plastic and air the microwaves have the ability to go through materials like paper glass porcelain plastic and air These materials do not contain water or metal and will consequently not be heated up by the microwaves The microwaves are reflected by metal in the same way as light is reflected by a mirror Microwaves are absorbed by water oil and fat The water oil and fat molecules are exited by microwaves and rub against each other just like when you rub your hands quickly against each other and heat is produced The speed of rubbing determines the temperature Microwave energy is not hot It simply causes the food to make its own heat When we heat food with infra waves Grill or hot air in a normal oven the Q Y Lo heat is applied on the surface of the food and then conducts transfers to the centre of the food Food has a rather poor ability to conduct heat and it Grill heating therefore takes a long time to heat the food If you don t want to continue cooking Remove the food turn the TIMER knob to 0 and close the IO If you don t interrupt the cooking process When the cooking process is finished an acoustic signal sounds and the cooking process is switched off It is possible to change both time and
