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 nonfood 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 cook any food surrounded by a membrane,such as egg yolks, potatoes, chicken livers, etc without first being pierced several times with a fork.

6. Do not insert any object into the openings on the outer case.

8. Do not cook food directly on the glass tray. Place food in/on proper cooking utensil before placing in the oven.
   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 Livingware closed handle cups should not be used.
   – Do not cook in a container with a restricted opening, such as a pop bottle or sealed 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.

9. Microwave utensils should be used only in accordance with manufacturer’s instructions.

10. Do not attempt to deep-fry foods in this oven.

11. 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.

12. 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.

13. 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.

14. 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.

15.  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.

16. To reduce the risk of fire in the oven cavity:
    a) Do not overcook food. Carefully attend microwave oven if paper, plastic, or other combustible materials are placed inside the oven to facilitate cooking.

Cooking food evenly
Food such as chicken, hamburger or steak should be turned once during cooking.
Depending on the type of food, if applicable, stir it from outside to centre of dish once or twice during cooking Allow standing time After cooking times out, leave the food in the oven for an adequate length of time, this allows it to complete its cooking cycle and cooling it down in a gradual manner Whether the food is done Color and hardness of food help to determine if it is done, these include:

• Steam coming out from all parts of food, not just the edge
• Joints of poultry can be moved easily
• Pork or poultry shows no signs of blood
• Fish is opaque and can be sliced easily with a fork

Browning dish
