Cooking Tips
• Place thicker pieces towards outside of food container, the thinner pieces

• Start cooking with a shorter time setting, evaluate it after the time finishes and
extend the cooking time if needed. Over cooking can result in smoke and burnt
food.
• Food such as chicken, burgers or steak should be turned once during cooking.
• Depending on the food type, if applicable stir from the outside inwards to the
centre of the dish once or twice during cooking.
• Make sure meat is cooked thoroughly there should be no signs of pink in the
meat or in the meat juices.
Cooking Utensils Guidelines
• Only use utensils that are suitable for use in microwave ovens. Metallic containers
for food and beverages shall never be used during microwave cooking.
• Dishes with a 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.

food mixers, vacuum cleaners and electric fans. This
is normal.
Oven light dim.
In low power microwave cooking, oven light may become dim. This is normal.
Steam accumulating on door, hot air out of vents.
In cooking, steam may come out of food. Most will come out from vents but
some may condense on cool places such as the oven door. This is normal.

Although starting the oven with no food in it should be avoided, it does no
damage to the oven provided it is only operated empty for a very short time. It is

plug-DISCONNECT FROM THE MAINS- and then cut it off the mains lead and
immediately dispose of it safely. Never attempt to reuse the plug or insert it into
a socket outlet as there is a danger of electric shock.
