Cleaning and Care
For best results and more enjoyable cooking,
please read these comments thoroughly.
For Best Results:
1. When determining the time for a particular food,
begin by using minimum time and checking con-
dition occasionally. It is easy to overcook food
because microwaves cook very quickly.
2. Small quantities of food, or foods with low water
content may dry out and become hard if
cooked too long.
Defrosting Frozen Foods:
1. Foods that have been frozen can be placed
directly in the oven for thawing. (Be certain
to remove any metallic ties or wraps.)
2. Defrost according to the Defrosting Tips found in
this Manual.
3. For areas of the food thawing faster than others,
cover with small pieces of aluminium foil. This
helps slow down or stop the defrosting process.
4. Some foods should not be completely thawed
before cooking. For example, fish cooks so
quickly that it is sometimes better to begin
cooking while still slightly frozen.
5. It may be necessary to increase or decrease the
cooking time in some recipes, depending
on the starting temperature of the foods.
NOTE:
Air from the vent may become warm during
cooking.
Browning:
There are a few foods which are not cooked long
enough in the microwave oven to brown and may
need additional colour.
Coatings such as paprika, and browning agents
such as Worcestershire sauce may be used on
chops, meat patties or chicken pieces.
Roasts, poultry or ham, cooked for 10-15 minutes or
longer, will brown without extra additives.
BE SURE THE OVEN IS TURNED OFF BEFORE
CLEANING.
Keep the oven interior surfaces clean and dry.
As a general rule clean after each use.
INTERIOR WALLS
Remove any crumbs and food remains between the
door and oven using a damp cloth. This area has
to be particularly well cleaned to ensure the door
will close properly. Remove any grease splashes
with a soapy cloth then rinse and dry. Do not use
abrasives which may scratch and damage the
painted surface of the oven.
NEVER POUR WATER INTO THE OVEN
ROLLER REST
The roller rest should be removed and cleaned in
hot soapy water at least once a week to prevent
grease restricting the rotation of the wheels.
DOOR
The door and door seals should be kept clean at
all times. Use only warm, soapy water to rinse then
dry thoroughly.
DO NOT USE ABRASIVE MATERIALS, SUCH AS
CLEANING POWDERS OR STEEL AND PLASTIC
PADS.
Metal parts will be easier to maintain if wiped
frequently with a damp cloth.
EXTERIOR
Clean with mild soap and warm water, rinse and
dry with a soft cloth. Do not use abrasive materials.
Do not spill water in the vents. If the power lead
becomes soiled wipe it with a damp cloth.
