1) Cooking Times
• The cooking time depends on the
dition, temperature, amount of food and
on the type of cookware.
• Begin with the minimum cooking time to
help prevent overcooking. If the food is
not sufficiently cooked you can always
cook it for a little longer.
N.B.: If the recommended cooking
times are exceeded the food will be
spoiled and in extreme circumstances
could catch fire and possibly damage
the interior of the oven.
2) Small Quantities of Foods
• Small quantities of food or foods with low
moisture content can burn, dry out or
catch on fire if cooked too
long. If materials inside the
oven should ignite, keep the
oven door closed, turn the
oven off and remove the
plug from the socket.
3) Eggs
• Do not cook eggs in their shells and
whole hard-boiled eggs by MICROWAVE.
Pressure may build up and the eggs may
explode, even after the microwave heating
has ended.
4) Piercing Skin
• Food with non porous skins, such as
potatoes, egg yolks and sausages must
be pierced before cooking by
MICROWAVE to prevent bursting.
5) Meat Thermometer
• Use a meat thermometer to check the
degree of cooking of roasts and poultry
only when the meat has been removed
from the oven. Do not use a
conventional meat thermometer in the
microwave oven because it may cause
sparking.
6) Liquids
• When heating liquids, e.g. soup, sauces
and beverages in your microwave oven,
overheating the liquid beyond boiling point
can occur without evidence of bubbling.
This could result in a sudden boil over of
the hot liquid.

9) Feeding Bottles/Baby Food Jars
• The top and teat or lid must be removed
• The contents of feeding bottles and baby
• The temperature has to be checked
To prevent this possibility the following-
steps should be taken:
a) Avoid using straight-sided containers
with narrow necks.
b) Do not overheat.
c) Stir the liquid before placing the
container in the oven and again
halfway through the cooking time.
d) After heating, allow it to stand in the
oven for a short time, stir again
before carefully removing the container.
