Important Information – Read Carefully
Safety
If smoke or a fire occurs in the oven, press Stop/
Cancel pad or turn TIMER Dial back to zero
position and leave the door closed in order to stifle
any flames.
Disconnect the power cord, or shut off the power at
the fuse or the circuit breaker panel.
Short Cooking Times
As microwave cooking times are much shorter
than other cooking methods it is essential that
recommended cooking times are not exceeded
without first checking the food.
Cooking times given in the cookbook are
approximate. Factors that may affect cooking
times are: preferred degree of cooking, starting
temperature, altitude, volume, size and shape of
foods and utensils used. As you become familiar
with the oven, you will be able to adjust these
factors.
It is better to undercook rather than overcook
foods. If food is undercooked, it can always be
returned to the oven for further cooking. If food is
overcooked, nothing can be done. Always start with
minimum cooking times.
Important.
If the recommended cooking times are
exceeded the food will be spoiled and in extreme
circumstances could catch fire and possibly
damage the interior of the oven.
1.
Small quantities of food.
Take care when heating small quantities of food
as these can easily burn, dry out or catch fire if
cooked too long. Always set short cooking times
and check the food frequently.
2.
Foods low in moisture.
Take care when heating foods low in moisture,
eg bread items, chocolate, popcorn, biscuits
and pastries. These can easily burn, dry out
or catch on fire if cooked too long. We do not
recommend heating foods low in moisture such
as popcorn or poppadoms.
This oven has been developed for food use.
We do not recommend that it is used for heating
non food items such as wheat bags or hot water
bottles.
3.
Christmas Pudding.
Christmas puddings and other foods high in
fats or sugar, eg. jam, mince pies, must not be
over heated. These foods must never be left
unattended as with over cooking these foods
can ignite. See page 22.
4.
Boiled Eggs.
Eggs in their shell and whole hard-boiled eggs
should not be heated in microwave ovens
since they may explode even after microwave
heating has ended.
5.
Foods with Skins.
Potatoes, apples, egg yolk, whole vegetables
and sausages are examples of food with non
porous skins. These must be pierced using a
fork before cooking to prevent bursting.
6.
Liquids.
When heating liquids, eg soup, sauces
and beverages in your microwave oven,
overheating the liquid beyond boiling point can
occur without evidence of bubbling. This could
result in a sudden boil over of the hot liquid.
To prevent this possibility the following steps
should be taken:
a) Avoid using straight-sided containers with
narrow necks.
b) Do not overheat.
c) Stir the liquid before placing the container
in the oven and again halfway through the
heating time.
d) After heating, allow to stand in the oven for
a short time, stirring again before carefully
removing the container.
e) Microwave heating of beverages can
result in delayed eruptive boiling, therefore
care should be taken when handling the
container.
7.
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.
8.
Deep Fat Frying.
Do not attempt to deep fat fry in your oven.
