MICROWAVE OVEN

1. Microwave isa kind ofhigh frequency electromagneticwave, which iscommonly distributed inthe nature.
But the existingform of microwaveis dispersed sothat it cannotbe collected togetherfor heating purpose.
The key component of magnetronof microwave ovenwill transform theenergy of electricityto microwave
and huge energyof microwave fieldis established underthe closed cavity. So themolecule of foodis caused
to vibrate atvery high speedand the frictionheat produced willcook the foodin a fastway.
2. There is 3 properlyof microwave ,that is
a) Absorbability, the microwavecan cause theexcess vibration ofmolecule of variousfood so asto obtain the
heating purpose. Butthe infiltration abilityis largely dependon the size,thickness and propertiesof the food.
b) Penetrability, microwave canpenetrate through ceramics,glass, temperature-resistant plastics.It is
required to usethe containers whosematerial have goodmicrowave penetrability toachieve best heating
result. See thebelow utensils guide.
c) Reflectivity, microwave wouldbe reflected bythe metal wallof interior cavityso as toestablish an even
magnetic field, thuscan prevent theoverheating of partialarea.
1) To ensure sufficient ventilation, thedistance of backof oven tothe wall orcabinet should beat least 10cm,
side of ovento the wallor cabinet shouldbe at least5cm, the topof oven tothe ceiling orcabinet should be
at least 20cm.
2) Do notplace any objecton the topof oven.
3) The position of theoven shall besuch that itis far fromthe TV, Radio orantenna as picturedisturbance
or noise mayoccur.
3) The oven shall beso installed thatthe plug isaccessible.

Installation of Microwave Oven
For the first use
Utensils guide
It is strongly recommended to use the containers which are suitable and safe for microwave cooking. Generally
speaking, the containers which are made of heat-resistant ceramic, glass or plastic is suitable for microwave
cooking. But the following safeguards must be followed:
1. Never use the metal containers for microwave as spark is likely to occur.
2. The heat-resistant plastic is not suitable for long time cooking.
3. Never use the heat-resistant ceramic which are decorated with metal or glazed. .
4. Plastic film is not suitable for cooking chops and meat, as over temperature may do damage to the film.
As there is manufacturing residue or oil remained on the oven cavity or heat element ,it usually would
smell the odor,even a slight smoke ,It is normal case and would not occur after several times use ,Keep
the door or window open to ensure good ventilation
So it is strongly recommended to operate as follows place a cup of water in the turntable ,setting at high
power and operate for several times

Microwave cooking tips
1) Arrangefood carefully, place thickestareas toward outsideof dish.
2) Watchcooking time, cookfor the shortestamount of timeindicated and addmore time asneeded.
3) Cover foodsbefore cooking
check recipe forsuggestions: paper towels,microwave plastic wrapor a lid.Coversprevent spattering andhelp foods tocook
evenly. (Helps keep ovenclean).
4) Shield foods
Use small piecesof aluinium foilto cover thinareas of meatsor poultry toavoid overcooking.
5) Stir foods:Fromoutside to centerof dish onceor twice duringcooking, if possible.
6) Turnfoods:Foods such aschicken, hamburgers orsteaks should beturned over onceduring cooking.
7) Rearrange foods:Like meatballs halfwaythrough cooking bothfrom top tobottom and fromthe center ofthe dish tothe outside.
8) Allowstanding time
After cookingensure adequate standingtime.Remove food fromoven and stirif possible.
Cover for standingtime which allowsthe food tofinish cooking withoutovercooking.
8) Check fordoneness
Look for signsindicating that cookingtemperature has beenreached. Doneness signsinclude:
-Food steams throughout,not just atedge.
-Poultry thigh jointsmove easily.
-Pork and poultryshow no pinkness..
-Fish is opaqueand flakes easilywith a fork.
9) Condensation
Anormal part ofmicrowave cooking. The humidity andmoisture in foodwill influence theamount of moisturein the oven.Generally
, covered foodswill not causeas much condensationas uncovered foods.Ensure that theventilation openings arenot blocked.
10) Browning dish
when using abrowning dish, alwaysplace a heat-resistantinsulator such asa porcelain plateunder it toprevent damage tothe
turntable, rotating ringdue to heatstress. The preheating time specifiedin the dishesinstructions must notbe exceeded.
11) Microwave safe plasticwrap
for cooking foodwith high fatcontent, do notbring the wrapin contact withthe food asit may melt.
12) Microwave safeplastic cookware
Some microwave safeplastic cookware arenot suitable forcooking foods withhigh fat andsugar content.
