as needed. Food severely overcooked can smoke or ignite.
Cover foods while cooking. Covers prevent spattering and help foods to cook
evenly.
Turn foods over once during microwave cooking to speed cooking of such foods
as chicken and hamburgers. Large items like roasts must be turned over at least
once.
Rearrange foods such as meatballs halfway through cooking both from top to
bottom and from the centre of the dish to the outside.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be grounded. This oven is equipped with a cord having a
grounding wire with a grounding plug. It must be plugged into a wall receptacle
that is properly installed and grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit,
grounding reduces risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the
electric current. It is recommended that a separate circuit serving only the oven be
provided. Using a high voltage is dangerous and may result in a fire or other
accident causing oven damage.
WARNING Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric
shock.
Note: If you have any questions about the grounding or electrical instructions,
consult a qualified electrician or service person.

UTENSILS GUIDE
The ideal material for a microwave utensil is transparent to microwave, it allows
energy to pass through the container and heat the food.
Microwave cannot penetrate metal, so metal utensils or dishes with metallic trim
should not be used.
Do not use recycled paper products when microwave cooking, as they may
contain small metal fragments which may cause sparks and/or fires.
Round /oval dishes rather than square/oblong ones are recommended, as food in
corners tends to overcook.
Narrow strips of aluminium foil may be used to prevent overcooking of exposed
areas. But be careful don’t use too much and keep a distance of 1 inch (2.54cm)
between foil and cavity.
The list below is a general guide to help you select the correct utensils.
