Cooking tips:
The following factors may affect the cooking result:
Food arrangement: Place thicker areas towards the outside of the dish with the thinner parts
towards the centre. Spread it evenly and avoid overlap if possible.
Cooking time length: Begin cooking on a shorter time setting and evaluate the food after it times
out. Extend the time as necessary. Over cooking may result in burnt food and smoke.
Piercing: Food such as potatoes, fish, chicken and sausages all need to be pierced in several places
before cooking, so that steam does not build up and cause the food to explode.
Cooking food evenly: Food such as chicken, burgers or steak should be turned once during cooking.
Depending on the type of food, if applicable, stir from the outside to the centre of the dish once or
twice during cooking.
Allow standing time: Once the cooking time has finished, allow food to stand in the microwave for a
few minutes. This allows the food to complete its cooking cycle and to cool down naturally.
Browning dish: When using a browning dish or self-heating container, always place a heat-resistant
insulator, such as a porcelain plate, under it, to prevent damage to the turntable and rotating ring.
Microwave safe plastic wrap: When cooking food with high fat content, do not allow the plastic
wrap to come into contact with food as it may melt.
Microwave safe plastic cookware: Some microwave safe plastic cookware might not be suitable for
cooking foods with high fat and sugar content. The preheating time specified in the dish instruction
manual must not be exceeded.

Questions Answers
Is it normal for the glass
turntable to turn in either
direction?
Yes. The glass turntable can rotate clockwise or anti-clockwise,
depending on the rotation of the motor when the cooking cycle
starts.
Can I operate my
microwave whilst it is
empty?
No, never run it empty or with a very small load for a long period of
time as this will damage the microwave.
Can I open the door whilst
the microwave is running?
You can open the door at any point during cooking.
The microwave energy will automatically switch off when the door
is opened, and the time setting will pause until the door is closed.
Why is my microwave
sparking?
If you see sparks in your microwave, turn it off immediately. Sparks
can be caused by:
Metal or aluminium foil that touches the interior of the microwave,
metal from a closing strip or tableware with metallic edges,
recycled paper that contains small metal particles and aluminium
foil that is not correctly covering the food.
Remove anything from the microwave that may contain metal.
Refer to the Utensils Guideline in this manual for reference of what
containers are microwave safe.
I am trying to cook eggs
and they are popping. What
do I do?
When you bake or poach eggs, the yolk can pop due to a build-
up of steam inside the yolk membrane. Pierce the yolk with a
toothpick before cooking. Never cook eggs without first piercing
their shells.
My microwave is taking
longer to cook food than
the cooking guide says.
Variations in the size, shape and weight of your food can affect
cooking times.
Cooking guide times and heat settings should be used as
suggestions to help prevent over-cooking. If you find the cooking
time or temperature is not suited to your ingredients, adjust
accordingly.
