2. MICROWAVE FUNCTION
   There are five microwave power levels:

Below is some food defrosting time advice:

| Weight| Defrost time
---|---|---
Meat| 0.1~1.0kg| 1:30~26:00
Poultry| 0.2~1.0kg| 2:30~22:00
Sea food| 0.1~0.9kg| 1:30~14:00

   If food is removed before time out, make sure to set back the timer to “0” position, this avoids the microwave oven from operating in empty load.

UTENSILS GUIDELINE

It is strongly recommended to use the containers which are suitable and safe for microwave cooking. Generally speaking, the containers which are made of heat-resistant ceramic, glass or plastic are suitable for microwave cooking. Never use the metal containers for microwave cooking and combination cooking as spark is likely to occur. You can take the reference of below table.

metal rim or glazed
Heat-resistant plastic| Yes| Can not be used for long time microwave cooking
Heat-resistant glass| Yes|
Grill rack| No|
Plastic film| Yes| It should not be used when cooking meat or chops  as  the over-temperature may do damage to the film

COOKING TIPS

The following factors may affect the cooking result:
Food arrangement
Place thicker areas towards outside of dish, the thinner part towards the centre and spread it evenly. Do not overlap if possible.

Cooking time length
Start cooking with a short time setting, evaluate it after it times out and extend it according to the actual need. Over cooking may result in smoke and burns.

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
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 high fat content, do not allow the plastic wrap come into contact with food as it may melt

Microwave safe plastic cookware
Some microwave safe plastic cookware might not be suitable for cooking foods with high fat and sugar content. Also, the preheating time specified in the dish instruction manual must not be exceeded.
