Utensils Guide; Microwave Cooking Principles - Danby Designer DMW1048SS Manuel D'utilisation

Microwave oven is on a different circuit, relocate the radio or TV as far away from the oven as possible or check
position and signal of receiving antenna.
Power Supply Cord
1. A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the risks resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping
over a longer cord.
2. Longer cord sets or extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use.
3. If long cord or extension cord is used:
a) The marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical
rating of the appliance.
b) The extension cord must be a grounding-type 3-wire cord, and The longer cord should be arranged so
that it will not drape over the counter op or table top where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over
unintentionally.
1. The ideal material for a microwave utensil is transparent to microwaves, it should allow energy to pass
through the container and heat the food.
2. Microwave cannot 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. A round dish is preferable to oval or rectangular dishes, because food cooked in corners allow more exposure
to microwaves. Over cooking at corners may occur. The list below is a general guide to help you select the
correct utensils.

MICROWAVE COOKING PRINCIPLES

The speed and evenness of microwave cooking is affected by the foods themselves. Microwaves penetrate foods
to a depth of 1.8 to 3.8 cm (3/4 to 1/2 inches) on all surfaces. The interior of foods greater than 5 cm (2 inches) in
diameter heats by conduction. Food with high water, fat or sugar content respond quickly to microwave energy.
Quantity. Microwave cooking times are directly related to the amount of food in the oven, because energy is
absorbed by the food itself.
