For cleaning, wipe any splatters or spills with a soft damp cloth or sponge after each use while the oven is still warm. For heavier spills, use a mild soap and wipe several times with a damp cloth until all residues are removed. Do not remove the waveguide cover. Make sure that mild soap or water does not penetrate the small vents in the walls which may cause damage to the oven.
Do not use spray type cleaners on the oven interior. Clean the waveguide cover, the oven cavity, the turntable and turntable support after use. These must be dry and free from grease. Builtup grease may overheat and begin to smoke or catch fire.

HINTS AND TIPS

MICROWAVE SAFE COOKWARE

shield food from overheating. Keep foil at least 2 cm from the oven walls, as arcing may occur. Foil containers are not recommended unless specified by the manufacturer. Follow instructions carefully.
China and ceramics| | Porcelain, pottery, glazed earthenware and bone china are usually suitable, except for those with metallic decoration.
Glassware e.g. Pyrex ®|

✓

| Care should be taken if using fine glassware as it can break orcrack if heated suddenly.
Metal|

| It is not recommended to use metal cookware when using

microwave power as it will arc, which can lead to fire.

Plastic/polystyrene e.g. fast food containers| ✓| Care must be taken as some containers warp, melt or discolour at high temperatures.
Freezer/roasting bags|

✓

| Must be pierced to let steam escape. Ensure bags are suitable for microwave use. Do not use plastic or metal ties, as they may

melt or catch fire due to the metal arcing.

Paper-plates, cups and kitchen paper|

✓

| Only use for warming or to absorb moisture. Care must be taken as overheating may cause fire.
Straw and wooden containers|

✓

| Always attend the oven when using these materials as overheating may cause fire.
Recycled paper and newspaper|

| May contain extracts of metal which will cause arcing and may lead to fire.

MICROWAVE COOKING ADVICE

Microwave cooking advice

Composition| Foods high in fat or sugar (e.g. Christmas pudding, mince pies) require less heating time. Care should be taken as overheating can lead to fire.
Size| For even cooking make all the pieces the same size
Temperature o food| The initial temperature of food affects the amount of cooking time needed. Cut into foods with fillings (e.g. jam doughnuts) to release heat or steam
Arrange| Place the thickest parts of food towards the outside of the dish (e.g. chicken drumsticks).
Cover| Use vented microwave cling film or a suitable lid.
Pierce| Foods with a shell, skin or membrane must be pierced in several places before cooking or reheating as steam will build up and may cause food to explode (e.g. potatoes, fish, chicken, sausages

IMPORTANT! Eggs should not be heated using microwave power as they may explode, even after cooking has ended (e.g. poached, hard boiled).

Stir, turn and rearrange| For even cooking it is essential to stir, turn and rearrange food during cooking. Always stir and rearrange from the outside towards the centre.
Stand| Standing time is necessary after cooking to enable the heat to disperse equally throughout the food.
Shield| Warm areas can be shielded with small pieces of foil, which reflect microwaves (e.g. legs and wings on a chicken).

Use pot holders or oven gloves when removing food from the oven to prevent burns. Always open containers, popcorn makers, oven cooking bags, etc., away from the face and hands to avoid steam burns.
Always stand back from the oven door when opening to avoid burns from escaping steam and heat. Slice stuffed baked foods after heating to release steam and avoid burns.
