Listed below are, as with all appliances, certain rules to follow and safeguards to assure top
performance from this oven:
1. Always have the glass tray, roller arms, coupling and roller track in place when operating the oven.
2. Do not use the oven for any reason other than food preparation, such as for drying clothes, paper,
or any other non-food items, or for sterilizing purposes.
3. Do not operate the oven when empty. This could damage the oven.
4. Do not use the oven cavity for any type of storage, such a papers, cookbooks, etc.
5. Do not use the oven for home canning, Microwave ovens are not designed to permit proper
canning.
Improperly canned food may spoil and be dangerous to consume.
6. Do not cook eggs in the shell, as they will burst.
Occasionally a poached egg may burst during cooking. Be sure to cook covered and let stand one
minute after cooking before removing the cover.
7. Do not cook any food surrounded by a membrane, such as egg yolks, potatoes, chichen livers,
etc without first being pierced several times with a fork.
8. Do not insert any object into the openings on the outer case.
9. Do not at any time remove parts from the oven such as the feet, coupling, screws, etc.
10. Do not cook food directly on the glass tray. Place food in/on proper cooking utensil before placing

IMPORTANT - COOKWARE NOT TO USE IN YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN
- Do not use metal pans or dishes with metal handles.
- Do not use anything with metal trim.
- Do not use paper covered wire twist-ties on plastic bags.
- Do not use melamine dishes as they contain a material which will absorb microwave energy. This
may cause the dishes to crack or char and will slow down the cooking speed.
- Do not use Centura Tableware. The glaze is not suitable for microwave use. Corelle Living ware
closed handle cups should not be used.
- Do not cook in a container with a restricted opening, such as a pop bottle or salad oil bottle, as
they may explode if heated in a microwave oven.
- Do not use conventional meat or candy thermometers. There are the thermometers available
specifically for microwave cooking. These may be used.
11. Microwave utensils should be used only in accordance with manufacturer's instructions.
12. Do not attempt to deep-fry foods in this oven.
13. Please remember that a microwave oven only heats the liquid in a container rather than the
container itself. Therefore, even though the lid of a container is not hot to the touch when
removed from the oven, please remember that the food/liquid inside will be releasing the same
amount of steam and/or spitting when the lid is removed as in conventional cooking.
14. Always test the temperature of cooked food yourself especially if you are heating or cooking
food/liquid for babies. It is advisable never to consume food/liquid straight from the oven but allow
it to stand for a few minutes and stir food/liquid to distribute heat evenly.
15. Food containing a mixture of fat and water, e.g. stock, should stand for 30-60 seconds in the oven
after it has been turned off. This is to allow the mixture to settle and to prevent bubbling when a
spoon is placed in the food/liquid or a stock cube is added.
16. When preparing/cooking food/liquid and remember that there are certain foods, e.g. Christmas
puddings, jam and mincemeat, which heat up very quickly.
When heating or cooking foods with a high fat or sugar content do not use plastic containers.
17. Cooking utensil may become hot because of heat transferred from the heated food. This is
especially true if plastic wrap has been covering the top and handles of the utensil. Potholders
may be needed to handle the utensil.

HOW A MICROWAVE OVEN WORKS
Microwaves are high-frequency electromagnetic waves; the energy released enables food to be
cooked or reheated without changing either the form or the color.
You can use your microwave oven to:
- Defrost
- Instant reheat
- Cook
Cooking Principle
1. The microwaves generated by the magnetron are distributed uniformly as the food rotates on the
turntable. The food is thus cooked evenly.
2. The microwaves are absorbed by the food up to a depth of about 1 inch (2.5 cm). Cooking
then continues as the heat is dissipated within the food.
3. Cooking times vary according to the receptacle used and the properties of the food.
- Quantity and density.
- Water Content
- Initial temperature (refrigerated or not)
As the centre of the food is cooked by heat dissipation, cooking continues even when you have taken
the food out of the oven. Standing times specified in recipes and in this booklet must therefore be
respected to ensure:
- Even cooking of the food right to the centre
- The same temperature throughout the food
CHECKING THAT YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN IS OPERATING CORRECTLY
1. First place a bowl of water on the turntable.
2. Set the power level to high by turning Cooking Power Control knob.
3. Set the time to 4-5 minutes by turning the Timer knob. The oven must be plugged into an
appropriate wall socket. The turntable must be in position in the oven. If a power level other than
the maximum is used, the water takes longer to boil.
