Instructions for Use

Before First Use
Clean the microwave following the instructions in the section entitled
‘Care and Maintenance’.
Place the microwave onto a flat, stable, heat-resistant surface at a height that is comfortable for the user.

STEP 1: Place the roller ring in the centre of the microwave and place the turntable on top. Ensure that it is engaged in the rotating coupler and the turntable moves freely.

NOTE: When using the microwave for the first time, a slight smoke or odour may be emitted. This is normal and will soon subside. Allow for sufficient ventilation around the microwave. It is advised to heat a small cup of water in the microwave before first use as this will help to remove residue from manufacturing inside the cavity and will prevent the initial smoke or odour from affecting the taste of the food.

ALWAYS ALLOW BEVERAGES/ LIQUIDS TO STAND FOR AT LEAST 20 SECONDS BEFORE HANDLING TO AVOID ERUPTIVE BOILING.

Using the Manual 20 Litre Microwave

STEP 1: Plug in and switch on the microwave at the mains power supply.

STEP 2: Place the food to be microwaved onto the glass turntable and close the door. Make sure to use microwave-safe plates or containers.

STEP 3: Select the desired power level using the power dial on the control panel.

STEP 4: Turn the timer control dial to the desired cooking time, If the desired time is less than two minutes, turn the timer control dial past three minutes and then back to the desired cooking time.

STEP 5: Cooking will automatically begin once the time is set. To pause cooking, open the door. To resume cooking, close the door.

STEP 6: When the cooking time has elapsed, the microwave will beep and the light inside will automatically turn off.

NOTE: If food is removed before the cooking time has elapsed, ensure the timer control dial is set to ‘O’ to avoid the microwave operating whilst it is empty.

CAUTION: It is recommended to wear heat-resistant oven gloves when removing cooked foods from the microwave. Avoid touching the heating element on the roof of the cooking cavity.

Defrost Recommendations

NOTE: Turn food halfway through defrosting for better results.

Cooking tips
The following factors may affect cooking results:
Food arrangement
Place thicker pieces of food towards the outside of the dish and thinner pieces towards the centre. Spread evenly and avoid overlap where possible.

Cooking time
Cook food for a short time, evaluate once cooking has finished and cook for longer if required. Overcooking may result in smoking and burning.

Cooking food evenly
Food such as chicken, burgers and steak should be turned once during cooking. Food such as soup will need stirring during cooking, starting from the outside of the dish.

Allow standing time
After cooking has finished, leave the food in the microwave to complete its cooking cycle and cool gradually.

Checking food is cooked through.
The colour and texture of food can help to determine if it is cooked. This can include steam coming from all areas of the food, joints of poultry moving easily, no blood when cooking meat and fish being opaque and easily flaked with a fork.

Browning dish
When using a browning dish or self-heating container, always place a heat- resistant insulator, such as a porcelain plate, under it to prevent damage to the turntable and rotating ring.

Microwave-safe plastic wrap
When cooking food with a high fat content, do not allow the plastic wrap to come into contact with food, as it may melt.

Microwave-safe plastic cookware
Some microwave-safe plastic cookware might not be suitable for cooking food with a high fat and sugar content. The preheating time specified in the microwave-safe cookware instruction manual must not be exceeded.

Storage
Check that the microwave is cool, clean and dry before storing in a cool, dry place. Never wrap the cord tightly around the microwave wrap; it loosely to avoid causing damage.
