The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following codes Blue or White Neutral Brown or Black Live Green amp Yellow or Green Earth As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this appliance may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug proceed as follows The wire which is coloured blue or white must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter N or coloured black The wire which is coloured brown or black must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter L or coloured red The wire which is coloured green amp yellow or green must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter E or This utility article is provided with a mains cord of special performance which in case it is damaged must be replaced with a mains cord of the same type such a mains cord can be obtained from importer and be installed by a competent person Introduction For example a cake made with ice cold butter milk and eggs will take considerably longer to bake than one made with ingredients that are at room temperature All of the recipes in this book give a range of cooking times In general you will find that the food remains under cooked at the lower end of the time range and you may sometimes want to cook your food beyond the maximum time given according to personal preference The governing philosophy of this
48. book is that it is best for a recipe to be conservative in giving cooking times While undercooked food is ruined for good Some of the recipes particularly those for bread cakes and custards recommend that food be removed from the oven when they are slightly undercooked This is not a mistake When allowed to stand usually covered these foods will continue to cook outside of the oven as the heat trapped within the outer portions of the foods gradually travels inward If the foods are left in the oven until they are cooked all the way through the outer portions will become overcooked or even burnt As you gain experience in using your microwave oven you will become increasingly skillful in estimating both cooking and standing times for various foods How Food Characteristics Affect Microwave Cooking Density of foods Light porous food such as cakes and breads cook more quickly than heavy dense foods such as roasts and casseroles You must take care when microwaving porous foods that the outer edges do not become dry and brittle Height of foods The upper portion of tall foods particularly roasts will cook more quickly than the lower portion Therefore it is wise to turn tall foods during cooking sometimes several times Moisture content of foods Since the heat generated from microwaves tends to evaporate moisture relatively dry foods such as roasts and some vegetables should either be sprinkled with water prior to cooki
