Take care when heating foods with high sugar or fat content, e.
SUITABLE COOKWARE (Continued) COOKWARE SUITABLE FOR MICROWAVING GRILL CONVECTION DUAL COOKING Browning dishes YES & self-heating Always place on an up-turned plate on the packages. turntable to prevent heat stress. Follow manufacturer's instructions. Be careful as these become very hot. Popcorn: Only use microwave popcorn within recommended packaging (follow popcorn manufacturer's instructions). Never use oil unless the manufacturer recommends and never cook for longer than instructed.
FOOD HANDLING & PREPARATION (Continued) Composition & quality Piercing Food high in fat or sugar (Christmas pudding, mince pies) requires less heating time and should be watched, over-heating can lead to fire. Use good quality ingredients for microwaving. Economical cuts of meat can be used for casseroles. Food with skin (e.g. potatoes, apples, fish, sausages, chicken), or with membrane (e.g egg whites/yolks), must be pierced in several places before cooking or reheating.
ADVICE FOR DEFROSTING Meat joints Poultry Place in a flan dish, turn over at least 4-5 times during defrosting, shield any warm areas with small, flat pieces of foil. After defrosting, wrap in foil and allow meat to stand for 45-60 minutes, until thoroughly defrosted. Place in a flan dish, turn over at least 3-4 times during defrosting, shield any warm areas with small, pieces of foil. After defrosting, wrap in foil and allow poultry to stand for 45-60 minutes, until thoroughly defrosted.
ADVICE FOR REHEATING WARNINGS: Oil & Fat: Never heat oil or fat for deep frying as this may lead to overheating and fire. Stand back when opening the oven door to allow heat or steam to disperse. When removing covers (such as cling-film), opening roasting bags or popcorn packaging, direct steam away from face and hands. Microwave heating of beverages can result in delayed eruptive boiling, therefore care has to be taken when handling the container.

CLEANING XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX & MAINTENANCE OVEN INTERIOR Clean the microwave oven cavity, after each use with a mild detergent solution on a soft cloth, pay special attention to the waveguide cover. WARNINGS• Do not allow grease or dirt to build up on the door seals and adjacent parts as this may prevent the door from closing correctly and may cause a leakage of microwaves. To clean use a mild detergent solution on a soft damp cloth.
TROUBLESHOOTING XXXXXXXXXXXXX If you think the oven is not working properly there are some simple checks you can carry out yourself before calling an engineer. This will help prevent unnecessary service calls if the fault is something simple. Simply answer “YES” or “NO” to the following questions: 1. Does the oven lamp come on when you open the door? YES/NO (Put half a cup of water in the oven, on the turntable and close the door. Select HIGH (100%) and programme the oven to cook for 1 minute.) 2.
TROUBLESHOOTING XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX (CONTINUED) PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSE Draught circulates around When oven is working, air circulates within the cavity. The door does not form an airtight seal, so it is normal for air to escape from the door. the door.
