IMPORTANT - COOKWARE NOT TO USE IN YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN
- Do not use metal pans or dishes with metal handles.
- Do not use anything with metal trim.
- Do not use paper covered wire twist-ties on plastic bags.
- Do not use melamine dishes as they contain a material which will absorb
microwave energy. This may cause the dishes to crack or char and will slow
down the cooking speed.
- Do not use Centura Tableware. The glaze is not suitable for microwave use.
Corelle Living ware closed handle cups should not be used.
- Do not cook in a container with a restricted opening, such as a pop bottle or
salad oil bottle, as they may explode if heated in a microwave oven.
- Do not use conventional meat or candy thermometers. There are the
thermometers available specifically for microwave cooking. These may be
used.
11. Microwave utensils should be used only in accordance with manufacturer's
instructions.
12. Do not attempt to deep-fry foods in this oven.
13. Please remember that a microwave oven only heats the liquid in a container
rather than the container itself. Therefore, even though the lid of a container is
not hot to the touch when removed from the oven, please remember that the
food/liquid inside will be releasing the same amount of steam and/or spitting
when the lid is removed as in conventional cooking.
14. Always test the temperature of cooked food yourself especially if you are
heating or cooking food/liquid for babies. It is advisable never to consume
food/liquid straight from the oven but allow it to stand for a few minutes and
stir food/liquid to distribute heat evenly.
15. Food containing a mixture of fat and water, e.g. stock, should stand for 30-60
seconds in the oven after it has been turned off. This is to allow the mixture to
settle and to prevent bubbling when a spoon is placed in the food/liquid or a
stock cube is added.
16. When preparing/cooking food/liquid and remember that there are certain
foods, e.g. Christmas puddings, jam and mincemeat, which heat up very
quickly.
When heating or cooking foods with a high fat or sugar content do not use
plastic containers.

17. Cooking utensil may become hot because of heat transferred from the heated
food. This is especially true if plastic wrap has been covering the top and
handles of the utensil. Potholders may be needed to handle the utensil.

HOW A MICROWAVE OVEN WORKS
Microwaves are high-frequency electromagnetic waves; the energy released
enables food to be cooked or reheated without changing either the form or the
color.
You can use your microwave oven to:
- Defrost
- Instant reheat
- Cook
Cooking Principle
1. The microwaves generated by the magnetron are distributed uniformly as the
food rotates on the turntable. The food is thus cooked evenly.
2. The microwaves are absorbed by the food up to a depth of about 1 inch
(2.5 cm). Cooking then continues as the heat is dissipated within the food.
3. Cooking times vary according to the receptacle used and the properties of the
food.
- Quantity and density.
- Water Content
- Initial temperature (refrigerated or not)
As the centre of the food is cooked by heat dissipation, cooking continues even
when you have taken the food out of the oven. Standing times specified in recipes
and in this booklet must therefore be respected to ensure:
- Even cooking of the food right to the centre
- The same temperature throughout the food
CHECKING THAT YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN IS OPERATING
CORRECTLY
1. First place a bowl of water on the turntable.
2. Set the power level to high by turning Cooking Power Control knob.
3. Set the time to 4-5 minutes by turning the Timer knob. The oven must be
plugged into an appropriate wall socket. The turntable must be in position in
the oven. If a power level other than the maximum is used, the water takes
longer to boil.
