Important Safety Instructions
Boiled Eggs
Eggs in their shell and whole hard-boiled eggs
should not be heated in microwave ovens since
they may explode even after microwave heating
has ended.
Foods with Skins
Potatoes, apples, egg yolk, whole vegetables and
sausages are examples of food with non porous
skins. These must be pierced using a fork before
cooking to prevent bursting.
Paper and Plastic
When heating food in plastic or paper containers,
keep an eye on the oven due to the possibility of
ignition. Do not use wire twist-ties with roasting
bags as arcing will occur.
Do not use re-cycled paper products, e.g. Kitchen
roll unless they say they are specifically designed
for use in a microwave oven. These products
contain impurities which may cause sparks and/or
fires when used.
Liquids
Microwave heating of beverages can result in
delayed eruptive boiling, therefore care should be
taken when handling the container.
To prevent the possibility of sudden boil 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 heating
time.
d) After heating, allow to stand in the oven for a
short time, stirring again before carefully
removing the container.
Deep Fat Frying
Do not attempt to deep fat fry in your oven.
Arcing
Arcing may occur accidentally if a metal container
has been used, the wire rack has been damaged,
or the incorrect weight of food is used. Arcing is
flashes of blue light seen in the microwave oven. If
this occurs, stop the machine immediately. If the
oven is left unattended and this continues it can
damage the machine. Continue to cook by GRILL
or CONVECTION.
Meat Thermometer
Use a meat thermometer to check the degree of
cooking of joints and poultry only when meat has
been removed from the microwave. If undercooked,
return to the oven and cook for a few more minutes
at the recommended power level. Do not leave a
conventional meat thermometer in the oven when
microwaving.
