Caution!: There are a number of
accessories available on the market.
Before you buy, make sure they are
suitable for microwave use.
When you put food into the Microwave,
ensure that the food, food supports and/
or covering do not come in direct contact
with any of the internal walls or the ceiling
of the cavity since discolouration may take
place.
Some plastics are heat-proof only to
certain temperatures. Check carefully!
Always remove lids of jars and containers,
including take away food containers,
before you cook using your microwave. If
you don’t remove the lids, then steam and
pressure can build up inside and cause an
explosion even after microwave cooking
has stopped.
Do not use straight sided containers with
narrow necks when heating liquid. Use
extreme care when inserting a spoon or
other utensils into the container.
Cooking tips:
The following factors may affect the
cooking result:
Food arrangement
Place thicker areas towards the outside of
the dish with the thinner parts towards the
centre. Spread it evenly and avoid overlap
if possible.
Cooking time length
Begin cooking on a shorter time setting
and evaluate the food after it times out.
Extend the time according to the actual
need. Over cooking may result in burnt
food and smoke.
Piercing
Food such as potatoes, fish, chicken and
sausages all need to be pierced in several
places before cooking, so that steam does
not build up and cause the food to explode.
Cooking food evenly
Food such as chicken, burgers or steak
should be turned once during cooking.
Depending on the type of food, if
applicable, stir from outside to the centre
of the dish once or twice during cooking.
Allow standing time
Once the cooking time has finished, allow
food to stand in the Microwave for a few
minutes. This allows the food to complete
its cooking cycle and to cool down
naturally.
If the food is cooked fully:
The colour and firmness of food help to
determine whether it done.
The following signs show that the food is
ready:
• Steam coming out from all parts of
food, not just the edge
• Joints of poultry can be moved easily
• Pork or poultry show no signs of blood
• Fish is opaque and can be sliced easily
with a fork
Browning dish
When using a browning dish or self-
heating container, always place a heat-
resistant insulator such as a porcelain
plate under it to prevent damage to the
turntable and rotating ring.
Microwave safe plastic wrap
When cooking food with high fat content, do not
allow the plastic wrap come into contact with
food as it may melt.
Microwave safe plastic cookware
Some microwave safe plastic cookware might
not be suitable for cooking foods with high fat
and sugar content. The preheating time specified
in the dish instruction manual must not be
exceeded.
