Household use only
Remove wire twist-ties from paper or plastic bags before placing bags in the oven.
Do not heat oil or fat for deep drying as the temperature of oil cannot be controlled.
After use wipe the waveguide cover with a damp cloth, followed by dry cloth to remove any food
splashes and grease. Built-up grease may overheat and begin to cause smoke or catch fire.
If materials inside the oven should smoke or ignite, keep oven door closed, turn oven off and
disconnect the power supply.
Do not place sealed containers in the oven. Baby bottles fitted with a screw cap or teat are considered
to be sealed containers.
When boiling liquid in the oven, use the wide-mouthed container and stand about 20 seconds at the

The cooked liquid should not be removed out immediately. Several moments should be waited before
removing in order to avoid possible hazards caused by delayed eruptive boiling of liquids.
The contents of feeding bottles and baby food jars are to be stirred or shaken and the temperature is to
be checked before consumption, in order to avoid burns.

MICROWAVE COOKING TIP
1) Arranging food
Place thicker areas toward outside of dish and the thinner meat in the center and spread them
evenly. Do not overlap if possible.
2) Cooking time
Start cooking with the shorter period of time and extend it according to the actual need.
Overcooking may result in smoking and burning.
3) Cover foods before cooking refer to the recipe
Use paper towels, microwave plastic wrap or a cover to cover food so that prevent spattering and
help foods to cook evenly. (Helps keep oven clean).
4) Partial shielding of food
Use small pieces of aluminium foil to cover thin areas of meats or poultry to avoid overcooking.
5) Stir foods
From outside to center of dish once or twice during cooking, if possible.
6) Turn foods
Foods such as chicken, hamburgers or steaks should be turned over once during cooking.
7) Rearrange foods
Please change the positions of food in half way during cooking such as: from top to bottom and
from the center of the dish to the outside.
8) Allow standing time
After cooking ensure adequate standing time. Remove food from oven and stir if possible. Cover
for standing time which allows the food to finish cooking without overcooking.
9) Check for doneness
Observe the food color and hardness to determine whether the food is cooked. Doneness signs
include:
-Steams throughout food, not just at edge part.
- Joints of Poultry move easily.
- Pork and poultry show no evidence of blood.
- Fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
10) Condensation
It is a normal case of microwave cooking. The humidity and moisture of food will influence the
amount of moisture in the oven. Generally, covered foods will not cause as much condensation
as uncovered foods. Ensure that the ventilation openings are not blocked.
11) Microwave safe plastic wrap
For cooking food with high fat content, do not bring the wrap in contact with the food as it may
melt.
