• Cooking times given in the cookbook are approximate. The

cooking time depends on the condition, temperature and
amount of food and on the type of cooking ware.

• Begin with the minimum cooking time to help prevent over-

cooking. If the food is not sufficiently cooked you can
always cook it for a little longer.

• Small quantities of food or foods with low moisture content

can burn, dry out or catch on fire if cooked too long. If
materials inside the oven should ignite, keep the oven door
closed, turn the oven off and remove the plug from the
socket.

• Do not cook eggs in their shells and whole hard-boiled

eggs by MICROWAVE. Pressure may build up and the
eggs will explode.

• Food with non porous skins, such as potatoes, egg yolks,

chicken wings and sausages must be pierced before cook-
ing by MICROWAVE to prevent bursting.

• Use a meat thermometer to check the degree of cooking of

roasts and poultry only when the meat has been removed
from the oven. Do not use a conventional meat thermome-
ter when using MICROWAVE because it may cause 
sparking.

• When heating liquids, e.g. soup, sauces and beverages in

your microwave oven, overheating the liquid beyond boiling
point can occur without evidence of bubbling. This could
result in a sudden boil over of the hot liquid. To prevent this
possibility the following steps should be taken:

a) Avoid using straight-sided containers with narrow necks.
b) Do not overheat.
c) Stir the liquid before placing the container in the oven 

and again halfway through the cooking time.

d) After heating, allow it to stand in the oven for a short 

time, stirring again before carefully removing the
container.

e) Microwave heating of beverages can result in delayed 

eruptive boiling, therefore care has to be taken when 
handling the container.

• When heating food in plastic or paper containers, check the

oven frequently as these types of containers ignite if over-
heated.

• Do not use recycled paper products (ex. Kitchen Roll)

unless the paper product is labeled as safe for microwave
oven use. Recycled paper products may contain impurities
which may cause sparks and/or fires when use.

• Remove wire twist-ties from roasting bags before placing

the bags in oven.

• Do not heat any closed cans or bottles because they might

explode.

• Metal containers or dishes with metallic trim should not be

used during Microwave cooking. Sparking will occur.

• If you use any aluminum foil, meat spikes or metal ware,

the distance between them and the oven walls and door
should be at least 2 cm to prevent sparking.

• The top and teat or lid must be removed from feeding bot-

tles or baby food jars before placing in the oven.

• The contents of feeding bottles and baby food jars are to

be stirred or shaken.

• The temperature has to be checked before consumption to

avoid burns.
