oven.
• Do not sprinkle water onto the oven directly. It may cause electric shock, leakage of electricity or damage of the
oven.
• The oven should not be cleaned with a water jet.
CLEAN THE OVEN AT REGULAR INTERVALS - Keep the oven clean, or it could lead to deterioration of the
surface. This could adversely affect the life of the appliance and possibly result in a hazardous situation.
Exterior:
The outside may be cleaned with mild soap and warm water, wipe clean with a damp cloth. Avoid the use of
harsh abrasive cleaners.
NOTE: Please ensure the oven is not splashed with excessive water at all times as it could lead to an electrical failure.

remove any spills or spatters. Do not use abrasive cleaners.
Touch Control Panel
Wipe the panel with a cloth dampened slightly with water only.
Do not scrub or use any sort of chemical cleaners. Avoid the use of excess water.
Interior walls:
To clean the interior surfaces, wipe with a soft cloth and warm water at the end of each day for hygienic
reasons. Built-up splashes may overheat and begin to smoke or catch fire. DO NOT USE A COMMERCIAL
OVEN CLEANER, ABRASIVE OR HARSH CLEANERS AND SCOURING PADS ON ANY PART OF YOUR
MICROWAVE OVEN. NEVER SPRAY OVEN CLEANERS DIRECTLY ONTO ANY PART OF YOUR OVEN.
Avoid using excess water. After cleaning the oven, ensure any water is removed with a soft cloth.
For heavier soil, use mild soap; wipe thoroughly with a soft cloth and warm water. Make sure that mild soap or
water does not penetrate through the small vents in the walls which may cause damage to the oven.

HELPFUL HINTS
1. THE ARRANGEMENT
2. TURNING
Arrange foods carefully. Place thickest areas to-
ward outside of dish.
Foods such as poultry and joints of meat should be
turned over after half the cooking time.
3. COVERING
4. PIERCING
Cover foods in the microwave if you would normally
cover the food in your ordinary oven, or to retain
moisture. Cover foods such as Vegetables, Casse-
roles, or when Reheating.

a skin or membrane to allow steam to escape.
Use to cover foods:

PLASTIC WRAP
PAPER TOWEL
LID
5. SHIELDING
6. STANDING TIME
Shield using small pieces of aluminium foil to shield
thin areas of meat, fish and poultry or edges of
cakes to prevent overcooking.
Standing time is important. After cooking or de-
frosting ensure adequate standing time. This al-
lows the food to continue cooking or heating.
8. SIZE
FISH
CHICKEN
7. STIRRING
Small pieces cook faster than large ones. To
speed cooking, cut pieces smaller than 5 cm so
microwaves can penetrate to the centre from all
sides. For even cooking, make all the pieces the
same size.
Stir foods from the outside to the centre of the dish,
once or twice during cooking if possible.
Eg. Casseroles and Sauces.
9. DENSITY
10. FAT AND BONE
The depth to which microwaves penetrate food
varies depending on the food's density. Porous
foods like minced beef or mashed potatoes micro-
wave faster than dense ones like steak or whole
potatoes
Marblingwithinmeat, orathin, evenlayeroffaton
a roast, speeds cooking. Large fatty areas or
excess drippings in dish attract energy away from
meat, and slows cooking. Centre bones do not
affect cooking, but bone on the side of meat
conducts heat to the areas next to it.

12. QUANTITY
Frozen or refrigerated foods take longer to heat
than food at room temperature. Cooking times in
this book are based on normal storage tempera-
tures. Since rooms, refrigerators and freezers differ
in temperature, check cooking result at the mini-
mum time.
Microwave cooking times are directly related to
the amount of food in the oven. Because energy
is absorbed by the food itself, one potato or a
single piece of chicken cooks rapidly. When the
energy is divided among several items, cooking
takes more time.
14. GENERAL
Your microwave oven is capable of heating food
and beverages very quickly therefore, it is very
important that you select the appropriate cooking
time and power level for the type and quantity of
food to be heated. If you are unsure of the cooking
time and power level required, begin with low
cooking times and power levels until the food is
sufficiently heated evenly throughout.
13.CONDENSATION
Condensation is a normal part of microwave cook-
ing. The humidity and moisture in food will influence
the amount of condensation in the oven. Generally,
coveredfoodswillnotcauseasmuchcondensation
as uncovered foods. Ensure that the ventilation
openings are not blocked.
