Important Information
1) Cooking Times
• Cooking times given in the cookbook are
approximate. The cooking time depends on
the condition, temperature, amount of food
and on the type of cookware.
• Begin with the minimum cooking time to
help prevent overcooking. If the food is not
sufficiently cooked you can always cook it
for a little longer.
N.B.: If the recommended cooking times
are exceeded the food will be spoiled
and in extreme circumstances could
catch fire and possibly damage the
interior of the oven.
2) Small Quantities of Foods
• Small quantities of food or foods with low
moisture content can burn, dry out or catch
on fire if cooked too long. If materials inside
the oven should ignite, keep the oven door
closed, turn the oven off and remove the
plug from the socket.
3) Eggs
• Do not cook eggs in their shells and whole
hard-boiled eggs by MICROWAVE.
Pressure may build up and the eggs may
explode, even after the microwave heating
has ended.
4) Piercing Skin
• Food with non porous skins, such as
potatoes, egg yolks and sausages must be
pierced before cooking by MICROWAVE to
prevent bursting.
5) Meat Thermometer
• Use a meat thermometer to check the
degree of cooking of roasts and poultry only
when the meat has been removed from the
oven. Do not use a conventional meat
thermometer when using MICROWAVE or
COMBINATION because it may cause
sparking.
6) Liquids
• When heating liquids, e.g. soup, sauces and
beverages in your microwave oven,
overheating the liquid beyond boiling point
can occur without evidence of bubbling.
This could result in a sudden boil over of the
hot liquid. To prevent this possibility the
following steps should be taken:
a) Avoid using straight-sided containers
with narrow necks.
b) Do not overheat.
c) Stir the liquid before placing the
container in the oven and again halfway
through the cooking time.
d) After heating, allow it to stand in the
oven for a short time, stir again before
carefully removing the container.
7) Paper/Plastic
• When heating food in plastic or paper
containers, check the oven frequently as
these types of containers ignite if
overheated.
• Do not use recycled paper products (e.g.
Kitchen Roll) unless the paper product is
labelled as safe for microwave oven use.
Recycled paper products may contain
impurities which may cause sparks and/or
fires during use.
• Remove wire twist-ties from roasting bags
before placing the bags in the oven.
8) Utensils/Foil
• Do not heat any closed cans or bottles
because they might explode.
• Metal containers or dishes with metallic trim
should not be used during Microwave
cooking. Sparking will occur.
• If you use any aluminium foil, meat spikes
or metalware the distance between them
and the oven walls and door should be at
least 2 cm to prevent sparking.
9) Feeding Bottles/Baby Food Jars
• The top and teat or lid must be removed
from feeding bottles or baby food jars before
placing in the oven.
• The contents of feeding bottles and baby
food jars are to be stirred or shaken.
• The temperature has to be checked before
consumption to avoid burns.
