Safety instructions

Microwave warning
Microwave heating of beverages may result in delayed eruptive boiling; always use caution when handling the container. Always allow beverages to stand at least 20 seconds before handling. If necessary, stir during heating. Always stir after heating. In the event of scalding, follow these First Aid instructions: 1. Immerse the scalded area in cold water for at least 10 minutes. 2. Cover with a clean, dry dressing. 3. Do not apply any creams, oils, or lotions. To avoid damaging the tray or rack, do not put the tray or rack in water shortly after cooking. Do not use the oven for deep fat frying because the oil temperature cannot be controlled. This could result in a sudden boil over of hot oils.
Microwave oven precautions
Only use microwave-safe utensils. Do not use metallic containers, gold or silver trimmed dinnerware, skewers, etc. Remove wire twist ties. Electric arcing may occur. Do not use the oven to dry papers or clothes. Use shorter times for small amounts of food to prevent overheating or burning. Keep the power cord and power plug away from water and heat sources. To avoid the risk of explosion, do not heat eggs with shells or hard-boiled eggs. Do not heat airtight or vacuum-sealed containers, nuts, tomatoes, etc. Do not cover the ventilation slots with cloth or paper. This is a fire hazard. The oven may overheat and turn off automatically and will remain off until it cools sufficiently. Always use oven mitts when removing a dish. Stir liquids halfway during heating or after heating ends and allow the liquid stand at least 20 seconds after heating to prevent eruptive boiling. Stand at arms length from the oven when opening the door to avoid getting scalded by escaping hot air or steam.

Do not operate the oven when it is empty. The oven will automatically shut down for 30 minutes for safety purposes.

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 colour. You can use your microwave oven to: · Defrost · Reheat · Cook Cooking principle.
1. The microwaves generated by the magnetron reflected at cavity and 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 container used and the properties of the food: · Quantity and density · Water content · Initial temperature (refrigerated or not)
CAUTION 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.

Combination cooking uses both microwave energy and convection heating. No preheating is required as the microwave energy is immediately available. Many foods can be cooked in combination mode, particularly: · Roast meats and poultry · Pies and cakes · Egg and cheese dishes
CAUTION
· ALWAYS use microwave-safe and oven-proof cookware. Glass or ceramic dishes are ideal as they allow the microwaves to penetrate the food evenly.
· ALWAYS use oven gloves when touching the recipients in the oven, as they will be very hot. You can get better cooking and browning, if you use the low rack.
Open the door. Place the food on the turntable or on the low rack which should then be placed on the turntable. Close the door. The heating element must be in the horizontal position.

Cookware guide

To cook food in the microwave oven, the microwaves must be able to penetrate the food, without being reflected or absorbed by the dish used. Care must therefore be taken when choosing the cookware. If the cookware is marked microwave-safe, you do not need to worry. The following table lists various types of cookware and indicates whether and how they should be used in a microwave oven.

Microwaves
Microwave energy actually penetrates food, attracted and absorbed by its water, fat and sugar content. The microwaves cause the molecules in the food to move rapidly. The rapid movement of these molecules creates friction and the resulting heat cooks the food.
Cooking
Cookware for microwave cooking Cookware must allow microwave energy to pass through it for maximum efficiency. Microwaves are reflected by metal, such as stainless steel, aluminium and copper, but they can penetrate through ceramic, glass, porcelain and plastic as well as paper and wood. So food must never be cooked in metal containers.
Food suitable for microwave cooking Many kinds of food are suitable for microwave cooking, including fresh or frozen vegetables, fruit, pasta, rice, grains, beans, fish, and meat. Sauces, custard, soups, steamed puddings, preserves, and chutneys can also be cooked in a microwave oven. Generally speaking, microwave cooking is ideal for any food that would normally be prepared on a hob. Melting butter or chocolate, for example (see the chapter with tips, techniques and hints).
Covering during cooking To cover the food during cooking is very important, as the evaporated water rises as steam and contributes to cooking process. Food can be covered in different ways: e.g. with a ceramic plate, plastic cover or microwave suitable cling film.
Standing times After cooking is over food the standing time is important to allow the temperature to even out within the food.

Cooking guide for frozen vegetables
Use a suitable glass pyrex bowl with lid. Cook covered for the minimum time ­ see table. Continue cooking to get the result you prefer. Stir twice during cooking and once after cooking. Add salt, herbs or butter after cooking. Cover during standing time.

Reheating
Your microwave oven will reheat food in a fraction of the time that conventional ovens hobs normally take. Use the power levels and reheating times in the following chart as a guide. The times in the chart consider liquids with a room temperature of about +18 to +20 °C or a chilled food with a temperature of about +5 to +7 °C.

Arranging and covering
Avoid reheating large items such as joint of meat – they tend to overcook and dry out before the centre is piping hot. Reheating small pieces will be more successful.

Power levels and stirring
Some foods can be reheated using 900 W power while others should be reheated using 600 W, 450 W or even 300 W. Check the tables for guidance. In general, it is better to reheat food using a lower power level, if the food is delicate, in large quantities, or if it is likely to heat up very quickly (mince pies, for example). Stir well or turn food over during reheating for best results. When possible, stir again before serving. Take particular care when heating liquids and baby foods. To prevent eruptive boiling of liquids and possible scalding, stir before, during and after heating. Keep them in the microwave oven during standing time. We recommend putting a plastic spoon or glass stick into the liquids. Avoid overheating (and therefore spoiling) the food. It is preferable to underestimate cooking time and add extra heating time, if necessary.

Heating and standing times
When reheating food for the first time, it is helpful to make a note of the time taken – for future reference. Always make sure that the reheated food is piping hot throughout. Allow food to stand for a short time after reheating – to let the temperature even out. The recommended standing time after reheating is 2-4 minutes, unless another time is recommended in the chart. Take particular care when heating liquids and baby food. See also the chapter with the safety precautions.

Reheating liquids
Always allow a standing time of at least 20 seconds after the oven has been switched off to allow the temperature to even out. Stir during heating, if necessary, and ALWAYS stir after heating. To prevent eruptive boiling and possible scalding, you should put a spoon or glass stick into the beverages and stir before, during and after heating.

Reheating baby food
Baby food: Empty into a deep ceramic plate. Cover with plastic lid. Stir well after reheating! Let stand for 2-3 minutes before serving. Stir again and check the temperature. Recommended serving temperature: between 30-40 °C.
Baby milk: Pour milk into a sterilised glass bottle. Reheat uncovered. Never heat a baby’s bottle with teat on, as the bottle may explode if overheated. Shake well before standing time and again before serving ! Always carefully check the temperature of baby milk or food before giving it to the baby. Recommended serving temperature: ca. 37 °C.
