Hints & Tips

SOME IMPORTANT TIPS FOR MICROWAVE COOKING

To help equalize energy in the food so that it cooks evenly follow these helpful tips.

• Arrange foods with varying sizes ends, such as chicken drumsticks and broccoli with the thicker or tougher part positioned to the outside of the dish. This ensures the parts that require more cooking will receive more energy, so the food will cook evenly.
• Covering the dish during cooking holds in the heat and steam to speed up cooking time. Use a microwave-safe lid or plastic wrap that has been vented by turning back one edge at the side of the dish to form a narrow vent to release excess steam.
• Choose cooking dishes that are shallow. Shallow dishes enable the food to cook faster.
• Arrange individual items such as ramekins or whole potatoes around the outside of the turntable. Make sure to leave space between items so the energy can penetrate from all sides.
• Use round-shaped microwave dishes. Round shapes cook more evenly than square or rectangle dishes which absorb most of the energy in the corners causing food to overcook and toughen.
• Stir foods from the outside to the center of the dish once or twice during cooking to equalize heat and speed microwaving.
• Turn medium to large food items over twice during microwaving. This enables even exposure to microwaves.
• Elevating some types of food such as cakes, roast vegetables, and dough products can be advantageous. It allows more energy to penetrate the food from all sides, base, and top. Use a microwave-safe plastic or ceramic rack. If a rack is unavailable, use an upturned bowl or cup to elevate plates of food.
• Do not elevate any special browning dishes, jugs of sauce or custard, small quantities of food, or mugs of beverages.
• Internal temperatures of foods continue to rise so that they continue cooking even after they have been removed from the microwave oven. It is better to undercook food as it will continue to cook once removed from the microwave.

MICROWAVE UTENSILS

• Containers, plates, dishes, etc. used in the microwave oven should always be microwave–safe. Check if stated on the underside of the utensil or contact
  the manufacturer.

• To test if a container, plate, or dish is microwave–safe, place it into the microwave oven with 1 cup of cold water (in a microwave–safe cup) and heat on 100% Power for 1 minute. If the container is hot and the water is cold, the container is not suitable for microwave oven use. If the container is cold and the water is hot, then the container is suitable for microwave oven use.

• Microwave-safe cookware will not become hot by microwave energy, but it will become hot from contact with hot food.
  When the food becomes hot, some of this heat is transferred to the dish. Always use oven mitts or clothes to remove hot dishes from the microwave.

• Metal containers and utensils should not be used in the microwave oven.

Care & Cleaning

• Remove the plug from the power outlet before cleaning.

• Keep the inside of the microwave oven clean.
  When food splatters or spilled liquids adhere to the microwave oven’s internal walls, wipe with a damp cloth. Mild detergent may be used if the cavity gets very dirty. Avoid the use of spray and other harsh cleaners as they may stain, streak or dull the door surface.

• The outside surfaces should be cleaned with a damp cloth. To prevent damage to the operating parts inside the microwave oven cavity, water should not be allowed to seep into the ventilation openings.

• Wipe the door and window on both sides of the door seals and adjacent parts frequently with a damp cloth to remove any spills or spatters. Do not use an abrasive cleaner.

• Do not allow the control panel to become wet. Clean with a soft, damp cloth. When cleaning the control panel, leave the microwave oven door open to prevent it from accidentally turning on.

• If steam accumulates inside or around the outside of the oven door, wipe with a soft dry cloth. This may occur when cooking foods high in moisture or if the microwave oven is operated under high humidity conditions, this is normal.

• It is occasionally necessary to remove the glass turntable for cleaning. Wash the glass turntable in warm soapy water, rinse in clean water and dry thoroughly.

• The turntable roller and microwave oven floor should be cleaned regularly to ensure the glass turntable rotates correctly and avoids making excessive noise. Simply wipe the bottom surface of the microwave with a soft damp cloth. The turntable roller may be washed in mild soapy water, rinse in clean water and dry thoroughly. When removing the turntable roller from the cavity floor for cleaning, be sure to replace it in the proper position.

• Remove odors from your microwave oven by combining a cup of water with the juice of one lemon in a deep microwave-safe bowl, and microwave on 100% for 5 minutes.
  Wipe the microwave oven cavity thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth.

• When it becomes necessary to replace the oven light, please consult your Sage Service Centre to have it replaced.

• Please do not dispose of this appliance with domestic rubbish; it should be taken to the appropriate disposal center provided by the local council municipalities.

• If storing the microwave oven, press the STOP/CLEAR button and unplug the power cord. Ensure the microwave oven is completely cool, clean, and dry. Secure the roller ring and glass turntable and close the door. Do not place heavy objects on top. Store the microwave oven upright.

BEFORE YOU CALL FOR SERVICE

• Check to ensure that the oven is plugged in securely. If it is not, remove the plug from the power outlet, wait 10 seconds, and plug it in again securely.
• Check for a blown circuit fuse or a tripped main circuit breaker. If these seem to be operating properly, test the power outlet with another appliance.
• Check to ensure that the control panel is programmed correctly, and the timer is set.
• Check to ensure that the door is securely closed by engaging the door safety lock system. Otherwise, the door safety lock system will prevent the microwave from switching on.
