WARNING: When the appliance is operated in combination mode, children should only use the oven under adult supervision due to the high temperatures generated.
To reduce the risk of fire in the oven cavity:
- a. When heating food in plastic or paper containers, keep an eye on the oven due to the possibility of ignition.
- b. Remove wire twist-ties from paper or plastic bags before placing the bag in the oven.
- c. If smoke is observed, switch off or unplug the appliance and keep the door closed to stifle any flames.
- d. Do not use the cavity for storage purposes. Do not leave paper products, cooking utensils, or food in the cavity when not in use.
WARNING: Liquid or other food must not be heated in sealed containers since they are liable to explode.
Microwave heating of beverages can result in delayed eruptive boiling. Therefore, care must be taken when handling the container.
Do not fry food in the oven. Hot oil can damage oven parts and utensils and may even cause skin burns.
Eggs in their shells and whole hard-boiled eggs should not be heated in microwave ovens, as they may explode, even after microwave heating has ended.
Pierce foods with heavy skins, such as potatoes, whole squashes, apples, and chestnuts, before cooking.
The contents of feeding bottles and baby jars should be stirred or shaken, and the temperature should be checked before serving to avoid burns.
Cooking utensils may become hot due to heat transferred from the heated food. Potholders may be needed to handle the utensils.
Utensils should be checked to ensure they are suitable for use in the microwave oven.
WARNING: It is hazardous for anyone other than a trained person to carry out any service or repair operation that involves the removal of any cover providing protection against exposure to microwave energy.

MICROWAVE COOKING PRINCIPLES

Arrange food carefully. Place thickest areas towards outside of dish.
Watch cooking time. Cook for the shortest amount of time indicated and add more as needed. Food severely overcooked can smoke or ignite.
Cover foods while cooking. Covers prevent spattering and help foods to cook evenly.
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.
Rearrange foods such as meatballs halfway through cooking both from top to bottom and from the center of the dish to the outside.

MICROWAVE COOKING TECHNIQUES

Microwave Cooking Tips

Stirring:
Stir foods such as casseroles and vegetables while cooking to distribute heat evenly.
Arrangement:
Arrange unevenly shaped foods, such as chicken pieces or chops, with the thicker, meatier parts toward the outside of the turntable where they receive more microwave energy.
Shielding:
Shield food with narrow strips of aluminum foil to prevent overcooking (e.g., poultry wing tips, the ends of poultry legs, and corners of square baking dishes). Use only small amounts of aluminum foil. Larger amounts can damage your oven.
Turning:
Turn foods over midway through cooking to expose all parts to microwave energy. This is especially important for large items such as roasts.
Standing:
Foods cooked in the microwave build up internal heat and continue to cook for a few minutes after the oven stops. Let foods stand to complete cooking, especially foods such as roasts and whole vegetables. Roasts need this time to finish cooking in the center without overcooking the outer areas.
Liquids:
All liquids, such as soup or hot chocolate, should be shaken or stirred when cooking is complete. Let liquids stand for a moment before serving.
Food Doneness Signs Include:
- Food steams throughout, not just at the edge.
- Center bottom of the dish is very hot to the touch.
- Poultry thigh joints move easily.
- Meat and poultry show no pinkness.
- Fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.

Defrosting Tips

Defrosting in a microwave is fast and hygienic, preventing the growth of bacteria while retaining the natural texture and flavor of the food. It offers quick and complete defrosting.

Foods must be weighed correctly.
Remove food to be defrosted from the packaging material.
Allow the food to stand for a few minutes to thaw completely.
Space the food to be thawed in a circular pattern.
Place larger or thicker pieces on the outer edge of the dish.
When defrosting, stir or turn the food halfway for even defrosting.
Separate the pieces as they thaw.
Remove small pieces that have thawed to prevent them from cooking.

Grilling Tips

Marinate foods only in the refrigerator. Reserve a portion of the marinade, before raw meat is placed in it, for later use in basting or as a dip for cooked food.
To avoid flare-ups and charred food, remove visible fat from meat.
Do not partially cook, unless the food will go immediately onto the grill.
If cooking ahead, cook completely, then cool down quickly for reheating later.
Serve food from the grill on a clean platter, not one that has raw, possibly contaminated juices on it.

Convection Tips

Always preheat the oven before putting food in (unless your recipe directs otherwise).
As with any recipe, check the food about 5-10 minutes before the expected finish time due to variables such as:
- The temperature of the food when first placed in the oven.
- The quantity of food in the oven.
- Your preferred level of "doneness."
The more food in the oven at one time, the longer the cooking time.

UTENSILS GUIDE

The ideal material for a microwave utensil is transparent to microwaves, allowing energy to pass through the container and heat the food.
Microwaves cannot penetrate metal, so metal utensils or dishes with metallic trim should not be used in microwave cooking, as they may contain small metal fragments which could cause sparks or fires.
Do not use recycled paper products when microwave cooking, as they may contain impurities that could ignite and cause fires.
Round or oval dishes are recommended over square or oblong ones, as food in the corners tends to overcook.
Narrow strips of aluminum foil may be used to prevent overcooking of exposed areas. However, be careful not to use too much foil, and always keep a distance of at least 1 inch (2.54 cm) between the foil and the oven cavity.

The list below is a general guide to help you select the correct utensils:
