PLEASE READ BEFORE USING!
(To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, injury or exposure
to Mircowave energy)
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
•NOTE - This appliance must be grounded. In the event of a
malfunction or breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk of electric
shock by providing a path of least resistance of electrical current. You
will be able to tell if it is because a non-grounded appliance will give
off an electrical discharge. Your Microwave’s plug must have a
grounding pin and if you use an extension cord, this must have a 3-pin
inlet/outlet as well as carry the same rating or greater than your
microwave. Only connect to a properly grounded outlet.
•Manufacturer declines all responsibility for any damage due to non-
grounding of appliance.
•DURING THE GUARANTEE PERIOD ONLY BAUMATIC SERVICE ENGINEERS OR
AN AUTHORISED AGENT OF BAUMATIC SHOULD CARRY OUT REPAIRS ON
THIS UNIT. THEREAFTER, IT SHOULD BE SERVICED ONLY BY QUALIFIED
TECHNICIANS.
•DO NOT USE IF THE SUPPLY CORD IS DAMAGED OR IF IT HAS BEEN
IMMERSED IN WATER.
•DO NOT USE IF THE OVEN HAS BEEN DAMAGED OR DROPPED.
•KEEP CORD AWAY FROM HEAT SOURCES.
•DON’T LET THE CORD HANG OVER THE EDGE OF TABLE.
•DO NOT USE YOUR MICROWAVE OUTDOORS OR NEAR A KITCHEN SINK,
SWIMMING POOL, IN A WET BASEMENT OR ANYWHERE CLOSE TO A SOURCE

A note on the type of energy used
by your Microwave Oven
Microwaves are electromagnetic waves that transmit energy. When cooking, the
microwave energy penetrates food to a depth of 4cm (1½ inches), causing its
molecules to vibrate. The heat produced by this friction enables food to be
heated, cooked or defrosted.
How quickly a microwave oven cooks will depend on the size, quality and shape of
the food being cooked. Microwave cooking is healthy in that, without the need
for large amounts of cooking liquid, it means that food retains vitamins,
nutrients, aromas and flavour.
Microwave Ovens are also more energy efficient than conventional cooking
because they use up to 70% less energy.
______________________

IMPORTANT: NO OTHER METHODS OF BUILDING UNDER THE
MICROWAVE ARE SANCTIONED BY BAUMATIC.
12

Built under installation for your microwave.
It is possible to build your microwave under a worktop;
however the following installation MUST be followed:-
1. The rear wall of the housing unit MUST be removed to allow
there to be the correct amount of ventilation.
2. The ventilation gaps below the support shelf and below the
worktop MUST be adhered to.
3. The appropriate Baumatic Microwave Building In Kit MUST be
fitted.
4. An induction hob MUST NOT be fitted above the microwave.
5. It is not necessary for there to be a storage drawer fitted
underneath the microwave; this is shown purely as an example
in the drawing on the preceding page.
6. WARNING: The microwave will get hot during operation;
care should be taken not to accidentally come into contact
with the outer surface.
7. WARNING: Children should not be allowed near to the
appliance unsupervised.

14
PLEASE REMEMBER: NOT ALL FOODS AND UTENSILS ARE SUITABLE for use in
MICROWAVE OVENS. Always check before putting a utensil in your oven.
FOODS THAT MUST NEVER BE MICROWAVED:
¾Eggs in their shell or whole
hard-boiled eggs since
they may explode,
even after your
Microwave has
stopped heating them.
¾Foods that need deep-
frying: your
Microwave cannot
deep-fry and is
liable to present a
fire hazard if you
attempt to deep fry
with it.
¾Foods that you intend to can
at home. There is no
way of ensuring that
foods intended for
home canning have
reached the required
boiling temperature.
¾Narrow-necked
containers like
syrup bottles – the
neck could explode.
¾Never use your
Microwave when it is
empty. This is a fire
hazard.
¾Sealed liquids and food
containers – these will
almost certainly
explode – NEVER
PLACE THEM IN YOUR
MICROWAVE!
_______________________
And please be careful with …
Heating liquids and drinks: when you heat liquid using a
Microwave, part of the liquid can exceed boiling point. Its surface
tension is such that it will be susceptible to upward surges. To avoid
the risk of being scalded, always handle bowls and cups of heated
liquid steadily and carefully. PLEASE SEE NEXT PAGE FOR FURTHER
ADVICE TO AVOID SCALDING!
Before
y
ou Start Cookin
g
with Your Microwave

15
You can reduce the chances of this happening further by
1. Avoiding using straight-sided containers with narrow necks.
2. Not overheating.
3. Stirring the liquid before placing the container in the oven and
again halfway through the heating time.
4. After heating, allow to stand in the oven for a short time, stirring
again before carefully removing the container, using a
cloth or oven glove.
ÂLikewise, if you are heating feeding bottles and baby food jars always
stir or shake them and then check the temperature before
you serve them, to avoid burns. Remember that babies
can be easily scalded!
ÂIf you are cooking bacon, do not place it directly on the
turntable as excessive heating may make the
turntable likely to break.
ÂBagged Popcorn – always read the manufacturer’s guidelines before
Microwaving bagged popcorn.
ÂAlways pierce foods with non-porous skins to reduce the risk of
them bursting from inside steam build-up; eg: apples,
potatoes, chicken livers and egg yolks.
ÂBe sure to make checks on your food during operation to avoid
burning and excessive cooking.
ÂAlways be careful when opening partially sealed containers –
there is the risk of steam escaping.
TO TEST WHETHER YOUR UTENSIL IS
MICROWAVE SAFE, YOU CAN CONDUCT
THE FOLLOWING TEST:
1. Fill a microwave-safe container with 1 cup of cold water
(250ml) along with the utensil in question.
2. Cook on maximum power for 1 minute (no longer than
this).
3. Carefully feel the utensil; if it is warm, do NOT use it for
microwave cooking.

oWhenever possible, always cook
food covered (but not
sealed!). Only pastry dishes
with crust should be cooked
without a cover.
oThere are several types of
covering suitable for
microwave use. Plastic film
or glass lids must always be
checked to ensure they can
be used for microwaving.
oPaper towels, napkins & wax
paper are useful loose covers
that can prevent ‘spitting’
and keep moisture in your
food.
oIf you can’t find cooking details
for a specific quantity of
food, base the cooking time
needed on a similar type of
food. You should adjust the
cooking time accordingly.
* Double quantity = almost
double time: half quantity =
about half the time.
oRemember that refrigerated
food will need longer
cooking times.
Frozen food
will require even more time
to cook.
oArrange food carefully. Always
place thickest areas towards
the outside of the dish.
oWatch the cooking time. Cook
for the shortest amount of
time indicated and only cook
for longer if needed after
checking your food.
Remember that severely
overcooked food can smoke
or ignite.
oTurn foods over once during
microwaving to speed
cooking of such foods as
chicken and hamburgers.
Turn large items like roasts
at least once.
oRearrange foods such as
meatballs halfway through
cooking, both from top to
bottom and from the centre
of the dish to the outside.
oSome soft vegetables (eg.
cauliflower, carrots, peas)
should be cooked with a
little water. However,
mushrooms, tomatoes and
peppers should be cooked
without water. Try to cut
larger vegetables into even-
sized pieces. Always cook
vegetables in a covered
container and stir them from
time to time.
oCook fatty pieces of meat (eg,
pork, poultry) on a non
metallic grid or upside-down
saucer inside a suitable
container. This will allow
the fat to drain away. Cook
leaner types of meat on a
browning skillet. Be sure to
turn once during the cooking
time.
oReady meals – always make
sure that these are marked
as being suitable for
microwaving. Follow the
instructions as printed on
the container such as
removing the foil lid or
pricking the plastic film.
Remember that you will need to
allow for standing time after you
take your food from your
Microwave Oven. Denser foods
will take longer to stand to cool
properly.
