DO  
DON’T  
Eggs, fruits,  
nuts, seeds  
vegetables,  
sausages and  
oysters  
* Puncture egg yolks and whites and  
oysters before cooking to prevent  
"explosion".  
* Pierce skins of potatoes, apples,  
squash, hot dogs, sausages and  
oysters so that steam escapes.  
* Cook eggs in shells. This prevents  
"explosion", which may damage the  
oven or injure yourself.  
* Reheat whole eggs.  
* Overcook oysters.  
* Dry nuts or seeds in shells.  
Popcorn  
* Use specially bagged popcorn for the  
microwave oven.

suitable temperature to prevent burns.  
* Remove the screw cap and teat  
before warming baby bottles. After  
warming shake thoroughly. Check for  
suitable temperature.  
Only heat until warm.  
* Heat bottles with nipples on.  
* Heat baby food in original jars.  
General  
* Food with filling should be cut after  
heating, to release steam and avoid  
burns.  
* Heat or cook in closed glass jars or air  
tight containers.  
* Stir liquids briskly before and after  
cooking for even heating.  
* Use a deep bowl when cooking liquids  
or cereals to prevent boiling over.  
* For boiling or cooking liquids see  
WARNING on page 2.  
* Deep fat fry.  
* Heat or dry wood, herbs, wet papers,  
clothes or flowers.  
* Operate the oven without a load (i.e. an  
absorbing material such as food or wa-  
ter) in the oven cavity.  
Canned foods  
* Remove food from can.  
* Heat or cook food while in cans.  
* Overcook as they may catch fire.  
Sausage rolls,  
Pies, Christmas  
pudding  
* These foods have high sugar and/or  
fat contents.  
* Cook for the recommended time.  
Meats  
* Use a microwave proof roasting rack  
to collect drained juices.  
* Place meat directly on the ceramic  
shelf for cooking.  
Utensils  
* Check the utensils are suitable for  
MICROWAVE cooking before you use  
them.  
* Use metal utensils for MICROWAVE  
cooking. Metal reflects microwave  
energy and may cause an electrical  
discharge known as arcing.  
Aluminium foil  
Browning dish  
* Use to shield food to prevent over  
cooking.  
* Watch for sparking. Reduce foil or  
keep clear of cavity walls.  
* Use too much.  
* Shield food close to cavity walls.  
Sparking can damage the cavity.  
* Place a suitable insulator such as  
microwave and heat proof dinner plate  
between the ceramic shelf and the  
browning dish.  
* Exceed the preheating time recom-  
mended by the manufacturer. Exces-  
sive preheating can damage internal  
parts of the oven.

* Remove from original wrapper. Shield wing and leg tips with foil.  
* Place breast side down. Turn food over after the oven beeps.  
* After defrost time, stand covered with foil for 15-50 minutes.  
N.B. After standing rinse under cold water to remove giblets if necessary.  
Minced Beef  
* Place frozen minced beef on a defrost rack. Remove defrosted portion  
of mince, turn food over and shield edges with foil strips after the oven  
beeps.  
* After defrost time, stand covered with foil for 10-15 minutes.  
See Note below  
Chicken Pieces  
* Shield the exposed bone with foil.  
* Turn food over, rearrange and shield the warm portions after the oven  
beeps.  
See Note below  
* After defrost time, stand covered with foil for 10-15 minutes.  
* Shield the edge with foil strips about 2.5 cm wide.  
Roast Beef  
Pork  
* Place joint with lean side face upwards (if possible).  
* Turn food over and shield the warm portions after the oven beeps.  
* After defrost time, stand covered with foil for 10-50 minutes.  
Lamb  
Check food after standing. If additional time is needed, continue to defrost with 20% power and additional time.  
Food not listed in the Chart can be defrosted using 20% setting.  
Note: When freezing minced beef, shape it into flat even sizes. For chicken pieces, steaks and chops, freeze  
separately in single flat layers and if necessary interleave with freezer plastic to separate layers. This  
will ensure even defrosting. It is also a good idea to label the packs with the correct weights.

CARE AND CLEANING  
CLEAN THE OVEN AT REGULAR INTERVALS  
IMPORTANT  
DO NOT OPERATE the oven without the splash cover in place.  
DO NOT REMOVE the splash cover UNLESS THE POWER CORD IS REMOVED FROM THE OUTLET  
because the rotary antenna, which is located on the ceiling, operates for 1 minute after the door is  
opened and injury could occur.  
Do not use commercial oven cleaners, abrasive or harsh cleaners or scouring pads on any part of your  
microwave oven.  
Do not sprinkle water onto the oven directly. It may cause electric shock, leakage of electricity or damage  
of the oven.  
Exterior:  
The outside may be cleaned with mild soap and warm water, wipe clean with a damp cloth. Avoid the use of  
harsh abrasive cleaners.  
NOTE: Please ensure the oven is not splashed with excessive water at all times as it could lead to an electrical  
failure.  
Door:  
Wipe the door and window on both sides, the door seals and adjacent parts frequently with a damp cloth to  
remove any spills or spatters. Do not use abrasive cleaner.  
Touch Control Panel  
Care should be taken in cleaning the touch control panel. Open the oven door before cleaning to inactivate the  
control panel. Wipe the panel with a cloth dampened slightly with water only.  
Do not scrub or use any sort of chemical cleaners. Avoid the use of excess water.  
Interior walls:  
To clean the interior surfaces, wipe with a soft cloth and warm water at the end of each day for hygienic  
reasons. DO NOT USE A COMMERCIAL OVEN CLEANER, ABRASIVE OR HARSH CLEANERS AND  
SCOURING PADS ON ANY PART OF YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN. NEVER SPRAY OVEN CLEANERS  
DIRECTLY ONTO ANY PART OF YOUR OVEN.  
Avoid using excess water. After cleaning the oven, ensure any water is removed with a soft cloth.  
For heavier soil, use mild soap; rinse thoroughly with hot water. Make sure that mild soap or water does not  
penetrate through the small vents in the walls which may cause damage to the oven.  
Ceramic shelf:  
The ceramic shelf should be kept clean at all times. Minor spills may be wiped with a damp cloth.  
DO NOT REMOVE THE CERAMIC SHELF FROM OVEN.

HELPFUL HINTS  
1. THE ARRANGEMENT  
2. TURNING  
Arrange foods carefully. Place thickest areas  
toward outside of dish.  
Foodssuchaspoultryandjointsofmeatshouldbe  
turned over after half the cooking time.  
3. COVERING  
4. PIERCING  
Cover foods in the microwave if you would nor-  
mally cover the food in your ordinary oven, or to  
retain moisture. Cover foods such as Vegetables,  
Casseroles, or when Reheating.  
Pierce potatoes, eggs, tomatoes or any foods  
with a skin or membrane to allow steam to  
escape.  
Use to cover foods:  
TOMATO  
EGG  
PLASTIC WRAP  
PAPER TOWEL  
LID  
5. SHIELDING  
6. STANDING TIME  
Shield using small pieces of aluminium foil to  
shield thin areas of meat, fish and poultry or  
edges of cakes to prevent overcooking.  
Standing time is important. After cooking or  
defrosting ensure adequate standing time. This  
allows the food to continue cooking or heating.  
8. SIZE  
FISH  
CHICKEN  
7. STIRRING  
Small pieces cook faster than large ones. To  
speed cooking, cut pieces smaller than 5 cm so  
microwaves can penetrate to the centre from all  
sides. For even cooking, make all the pieces the  
same size.  
Stir foods from the outside to the centre of the  
dish, once or twice during cooking if possible.  
Eg. Casseroles and Sauces.  
9. DENSITY  
10. FAT AND BONE  
The depth to which microwaves penetrate food  
varies depending on the food's density. Porous  
foods like minced beef or mashed potatoes  
microwave faster than dense ones like steak or  
whole potatoes  
Marbling within meat, or a thin, even layer of fat  
on a roast, speeds cooking. Large fatty areas or  
excess drippings in dish attract energy away  
from meat, and slows cooking. Centre bones do  
not affect cooking, but bone on the side of meat  
conducts heat to the areas next to it.  
11. STARTING TEMPERATURE  
12. QUANTITY  
Frozen or refrigerated foods take longer to heat  
than food at room temperature. Cooking times  
in this book are based on normal storage tem-  
peratures. Since rooms, refrigerators and freez-  
ersdifferintemperature, checkcookingresultat  
the minimum time.  
Microwave cooking times are directly related to  
the amount of food in the oven. Because energy  
is absorbed by the food itself, one potato or a  
single piece of chicken cooks rapidly. When the  
energy is divided among several items, cooking  
takes more time.  
13.CONDENSATION  
Condensation is a normal part of microwave  
cooking. The humidity and moisture in food will  
influence the amount of condensation in the  
oven. Generally, coveredfoodswillnotcauseas

that the ventilation openings are not blocked.
