1.
Microwave cooking time
• As when cooking with other forms of heat, microwaves
can cause the moisture in foods to evaporate so that the
food will burn if overheated.
• Do not set the timer for a longer time than necessary.
• The first time you make a dish with this oven, stop cooking
a bit early and check on the cooking progress.
• Do not overcook. Baked foods having a hard, dry brown
spot after microwave cooking indicates overcooking.
2.
Do not heat small quantities of food or dried foods for long
periods of time.
• Such foods may burn or catch fire, and the oven will also
be affected in much the same way as if it were operating
empty. Put a cup of water in the oven when heating such
foods.
3.
Always make sure that closed containers, such as jars of
baby food, are opened and plastic pouches of vegetables
are pierced before cooking.
• Tightly closed containers could explode.
4.
Avoid heating baby bottles or baby food jars. Transfer the
food into a suitable container for the microwave oven. The
food temperature should be tested before giving it to the
baby.
5.
Do not cook eggs in their shells because they will explode.
• Prick the membrane around the yolk before frying eggs
to allow steam to escape. This is because the yolk swells
faster than the membrane and the egg explodes when
heated quickly. Eggs cannot be boiled in this microwave
oven.
6.
Do not overheat.
• During defrosting, shorten the time to avoid overcook-
ing.
7.
Never use the oven as a Clothes Drying Cabinet.
Since there is no heating time guide for drying things like
paper or cloth, using the oven for this purpose may lead to
oven damage or Fire!
8.
When boiling water or other liquids, be sure to use wide
mouthed containers. This will allow air bubbles to escape
freely. Should a narrow mouthed container be used, air
bubbles may combine to form a large bubble which may
in turn cause the liquid to boil over. This may happen even
after cooking has stopped.
HINts FOR COOKINg
1. Cooking times with quantity
• Input the cooking time that is appropriate to the quantity
of foods being prepared.
• When heating double or triple quantity, use the appropriate
multiple-quantity key.
2. Hints for even cooking
• Turn bulky foods over (180° degree) halfway through the
cooking.
• When cooking two or more items, rotate them halfway
through the cooking.
• When cooking tall foods, be sure to turn them upside down
halfway through the cooking.
• When cooking foods with parts of different thicknesses,
protect the thinner, faster-cooking part with aluminum foil
halfway through the cooking to protect them from over-
cooking.
• When cooking soups or sauces, stir them (once or twice)
halfway through the cooking.
