MICROWAVE COOKING PRINCIPLES  
1. Arrange food carefully. Place thickest areas towards outside of dish.  
2. Watch cooking time. Cook for the shortest amount of time indicated and add more as needed. Food severely  
overcooked can smoke or ignite.  
3. Cover foods while cooking. Covers prevent spattering and help foods to cook evenly.  
4. Turn foods over once during microwaving to speed cooking of such foods as chicken and hamburgers. Large  
items like roasts must be turned over at least once.  
5. Rearrange foods such as meatballs halfway through cooking both from top to bottom and from the center of  
the dish to the outside.  
UTENSILS GUIDE  
1. The ideal material for a microwave utensil is transparent to microwave, it allows energy to pass through the  
container and heat the food.  
2. Microwave can not penetrate metal, so metal utensils or dishes with metallic trim should not be used.  
3. Do not use recycled paper products when microwave cooking, as they may contain small metal fragments  
which may cause sparks and/or fires.  
4. Round /oval dishes rather than square/oblong ones are recommend, as food in corners tends to overcook.  
5. Narrow strips of aluminum 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 (2.54cm) between foil and cavity.  
The list below is a general guide to help you select the correct utensils.

2. Keep the inside of the oven clean. When food splatters or spilled liquids adhere to oven walls,  
wipe with a damp cloth. Mild detergent may be used if the oven gets very dirty. Avoid the use of  
spray and other harsh cleaners as they may stain, streak or dull the door surface.  
3. The outside surfaces should be cleaned with a damp cloth. To prevent damage to the operating  
parts inside the oven, water should not be allowed to seep into the ventilation openings.  
4. Wipe the door and window on both sides, the door seals and adjacent parts frequently with a  
damp cloth to remove any spills or spatters. Do not use abrasive cleaner.  
5. Do not allow the control panel to become wet. Clean with a soft, damp cloth. When cleaning the  
control panel, leave oven door open to prevent oven from accidentally turning on.  
6. If steam accumulates inside or around the outside of the oven door, wipe with a soft cloth. This  
may occur when the microwave oven is operated under high humidity condition. And it is normal.  
7. It is occasionally necessary to remove the glass tray for cleaning. Wash the tray in warm sudsy  
water or in a dishwasher.  
8. The roller ring and oven floor should be cleaned regularly to avoid excessive noise. Simply wipe  
the bottom surface of the oven with mild detergent. The roller ring may be washed in mild sudsy  
water or dishwasher. When removing the roller ring from cavity floor for cleaning, be sure to  
replace in the proper position.  
9. Remove odors from your oven by combining a cup of water with the juice and skin of one lemon  
in a deep microwaveable bowl, microwave for 5 minutes. Wipe thoroughly and dry with a soft  
cloth.  
10. When it becomes necessary to replace the oven light, please consult a dealer to have it  
replaced.  
11. The oven should be cleaned regularly and any food deposits removed. Failure to maintain the  
oven in a clean condition could lead to deterioration of the surface that could adversely affect the  
life of the appliance and possibly result in a hazardous situation.  
12. Please do not dispose this appliance into the domestic rubbish bin, it should be disposed to the  
particular disposal center provided by the municipalities.
