Note:
When removing food from the oven, please ensure that the oven power is
switched off by turning the timer switch to 0 (zero). Failure to do so, and
operating the microwave oven without food in it, can result in overheating and
damage to the magnetron.
UTENSILS GUIDE
The ideal material for a microwave utensil is material which is transparent. This
allows energy to pass through the container and heat the food.
A microwave cannot penetrate metal, so metal utensils or dishes with 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.
Round /oval dishes rather than square/oblong ones are recommended, as food
in corners tends to overcook.
Narrow strips of aluminium foil may be used to prevent overcooking of exposed
areas. But be careful don’t use too much and keep a distance of 1 inch.
