HELPFUL INSTRUCTIONS

UTENSILS GUIDE

1. The ideal material for a microwave container allows microwave energy to pass through it and heat the food.
2. Microwaves cannot penetrate metal, so metal utensils or dishes with metallic trim should not be used.
3. Do not use recycled paper products when microwave cooking, as they may contain small metal fragments which may cause sparks or fires.
4. Round/oval dishes are recommended over square/oblong dishes, as food in corners tends to overcook.
   The list below is a general guide to help you select the correct utensils.

FOR BEST COOKING RESULTS

1. When determining cooking time, always select the minimum time and check progress during cooking. It is easy to overcook foods with microwave speed.
2. Be careful when cooking small quantities of food or food with low water content. They may burn if cooked for too long.
3. Do not use the oven for drying kitchen towels or napkins.
4. Do not boil eggs in the oven.
5. When cooking an egg, pierce the yolk membrane before cooking to prevent the egg bursting.
6. To achieve more even cooking, open the door during the cooking process and turn the dish and/or food.

IMPORTANT WARNINGS

1. Food should only be carried out in microwave safe containers, as detailed above.
2. After cooking has completed, internal temperatures within the food may continue to rise, so caution should be used.
3. Be careful when cooking foods with a crust such as pastries, bread or pies. The filling may be much hotter than the outside.
4. For best results, take care not to overcook food.

MICROWAVE BASICS

A number of factors determine the success of microwave cooking:

1. Temperature of foods – frozen or refrigerated foods require longer heating times to reach a desired serving temperature than foods cooked from ambient.
2. Food components – foods high in sugar, salts, fats and moisture content heat feaster because these properties attract microwave energy. Denser foods that are high in protein and fibre absorb microwave energy slower which means a longer heating time.
3. Volume of food – the greater the mass of food, the longer it takes to heat.
4. Containers – ensure that the advice contained within this manual on microwave safe utensils is adhered to. Using other containers could result in undesired cooking results, damage to containers or to the microwave itself.
5. Do not use metal – because microwaves cannot penetrate metal, this will cause uneven cooking and can also cause arcing, which can damage the microwave.
6. When heating liquids, ensure they are stirred regularly during cooking. Liquids can quickly boil over after microwave cooking

CLEANING AND CARE

1. Turn off the oven and remove the power plug from the wall before cleaning.
2. Keep the inside of the oven clean by regularly wiping any food debris from the cavity walls with a damp cloth. Mild detergent may be used if the oven gets very dirty. Avoid the use of harsh chemical sprays and cleaners as they may damage the door surface.
3. The outside of the oven should be cleaned with a damp cloth. To prevent damage to the internal components, water should not be allowed to seep into any ventilation openings.
4. Wipe the door and glass on both sides, as well as regularly wiping the door seals and hinges with a damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners.
5. Do not allow the control panel to become wet. Clean only with a soft, damp cloth. When cleaning the control  panel, ensure the oven door is left open to prevent accidental operation of the oven.
6. If steam accumulates inside or around the outside of the oven door, wipe with a soft cloth. This may occur normally when operating in humid conditions.
7. The cavity base should be cleaned regularly. Simply wipe the surface with a mild detergent.
8. Odours can be removed by mixing water with the juice and skin of 1 lemon in a deep microwavable bowl. Microwave for 5 minutes, then wipe the interior thoroughly with a soft cloth.
9. When it becomes necessary to replace the oven light, please contact an authorised service agent.
10. Failure to keep the oven in a clean condition could adversely affect the life of the appliance and possibly result in a hazardous situation. Damage caused by built up food residue could invalidate your warranty.
11. Your Maestro wave product is designed and manufactured with high quality materials and components which can be recycled and reused. At the end of its life, it should be disposed of separately from household waste. Please dispose of this equipment at your local community waste collection/recycling center. According to Waste of Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) directive, WEEE should be separately collected and treated. If at any time in future you need to dispose of this product please do NOT dispose of this product with household waste. Please send this product to WEEE collecting points where available.
