Cookware & Utensils Guide
It is important to use the correct containers and utensils when cooking in your microwave
oven. The table below will help you to make the right selection.
Materials that can be used in microwave ovens
Aluminium Shielding only. Small smooth pieces can be used to cover thin parts of meat
or poultry to prevent overcooking. Arcing can occur if foil is too close to
oven walls. The foil should be at least 1 inch (2.5cm) away from oven walls.
Browning dish Follow manufacturer’s instructions. The bottom of browning dish must be
at least 3/16 inch (5mm) above the turntable. Incorrect usage may cause the
turntable to break.
Dinnerware Microwave-safe only. Follow manufacturer’s instructions. Do not use
cracked or chipped dishes.
Glass jars Always remove lid. Use only to heat food until just warm. Most glass jars are
not heat resistant and may break.
Oven cooking bags Follow manufacturer’s instructions. Do not close with metal tie. Make slits
to allow steam to escape.
Paper plates and cups Use for short–term cooking/warming only. Do not leave oven unattended
while cooking.
Paper towels Use to cover food for reheating and absorbing fat. Use with supervision for a
short-term cooking only.
Parchment paper Use as a cover to prevent splattering or a wrap for steaming.
Plastic Microwave-safe only. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions. Should be
labelled “Microwave Safe”. Some plastic containers soen, as the food
inside gets hot. “Boiling bags” and tightly closed plastic bags should be slit,
pierced or vented as directed by package.
Plastic wrap Microwave-safe only. Use to cover food during cooking to retain moisture.
Do not allow plastic wrap to touch food.
Thermometers Microwave-safe only (meat and candy thermometers).
Wax paper Use as a cover to prevent splattering and retain moisture.

Microwave Oven User Manual Page 5
Materials to be avoided in microwave oven
Aluminium tray May cause arcing. Transfer food into microwave-safe dish.
Food carton with metal
handle
May cause arcing. Transfer food into microwave-safe dish.
Metal or metal-trimmed
utensils
Metal shields the food from microwave energy. Metal trim may cause arcing.
Metal twist ties May cause arcing and could cause a re in the oven.
Paper bags May cause a re in the oven.
Plastic foam Plastic foam may melt or contaminate the liquid inside when exposed to
high temperature.
Wood Wood will dry out when used in the microwave oven and may split or crack.
If still in doubt, a test can be performed to conrm that the container or utensil is safe for
microwave oven use. Please follow the instructions below:
• Fill a 1-cup glass measure with cool water and place it in the microwave alongside the
empty container or utensil to be tested;
• Cook on maximum power for 1 minute (do not exceed one minute cooking time);
• If the container or utensil is microwave oven safe, the container should remain
comfortably cool, the water in glass measure should be hot;
• If the container is hot, it has absorbed some microwave energy and should NOT be
used. This test cannot be used for plastic containers.

Operating Instructions
WARNING // Do not attempt to operate this microwave oven with the door open as it can
result in harmful exposure to microwave energy. Safety interlocks must not be defeated or
tampered with.
Important Safety Instructions
• Only use utensils that are suitable for
use in microwave ovens. (Guide on page
4)
• Eggs in their shell and whole
hard-boiled eggs, liquids in narrow
neck bottles and other foods in sealed
containers should not be heated in the
microwave ovens since they may
explode, even aer microwave heating
has ended.
• Microwave heating of beverages can
result in delayed eruptive boiling;
therefore handle container with care
Liquids, such as water, coee, or tea
can be overheated beyond the boiling
point without appearing to be boiling.
Visible bubbling when the container
is removed from the microwave oven is
not always present. This could result in
very hot liquids suddenly boiling over
when the container is disturbed or a
utensil is inserted into the liquid.
To reduce this risk of injury to persons:
• Stir the liquid both before and halfway
through the heating process.
• Do not heat water and oil, or fats
together. The lm of oil will trap steam,
and may cause a violent eruption.
• Do not use straight-sided containers
with narrow necks.
• Do not overcook food. When heating
food in plastic or paper containers,
keep an eye on the oven, beware of the
possibility of ignition.
• The contents of feeding bottles and
baby food jars need to be stirred or
shaken and the temperature checked
before consumption, in order to avoid
burns.
• Remove wire twist-ties and metal
handles from paper or plastic bags/
containers before placing them in the
microwave oven.
• Do not cook directly on the turntable.
It can crack, cause injury or damage to
the oven.
• Do not use the oven cavity for storage
purposes.
• Aer heating, allow the container to
rest in the microwave oven for a short
time before removing it.

Microwave Oven User ManualPage 10
• Do not operate the oven empty. The
microwave energy will reect
continuously throughout the oven
causing overheating and damage,
if food or water is not present to
absorb energy.

Maintenance Troubleshooting
BEFORE REQUESTING SERVICE
These occurrences are normal:
Some radio or TV interference might occur
when you cook with the microwave oven.
This interference is similar to the
interference caused by small appliances
such as mixers, vacuums, hair dryers, etc.
It does not indicate a problem with your
appliance.
Microwave oven is interfering TV
reception
Dim microwave oven light In low power level of microwave cooking,
the oven light may be dimmed.
During cooking, steam and warm air are
given o from food. Most of the steam and
warm air is removed from the microwave
oven by the air that circulates in the oven
cavity. However, some steam will condense
on cooler surface such as the oven door.
Steam is accumulating on the oven door
and warm air comes out the oven vents
Running the oven empty for a short time
will not damage the oven. However, we do
not recommend this.
