1) Cooking Times
≥Cooking times given in the cookbook are
approximate. The cooking time depends on the
condition, temperature and amount of food and on
the type of cooking ware.
≥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 time 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 will explode.
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. To
prevent this possibility the
following steps should be
taken:
a) Avoid using straght-sided containers with
narrow necks.
b) Do not overheat.
c) Stir the liquid before placing the container in the
oven and again halfway through cooking time.
d) After heating, allow it to stand in the oven for a
short time, stirring again before carefully
removing the container.
≥Microwave heating of beverages can result in
delayed eruptive boiling, therefore care has to be
taken when handling the container.
7) Paper/Plastic
≥When heating food in plastic or paper containers,
check the oven frequently as these types of
containers ignite if overheated.
≥Do not use recycled paper products (ex. Kitchen
Roll) unless the paper product is labelled as safe
for microwave oven use. Recycled paper products
may contain impurities which may cause sparks
and/or fires when use.
≥Remove wire twist-ties from roasting bags before
placing bags in oven.
8) Utensils/Foil
≥Do not heat any closed cans or bottles because
they might explode.
≥Liguids or other foods must not be heated in
sealed containers since they are liable to explode.
≥Metal containers or dishes with metallic trim should
not be used during Microwave cooking. Sparking
will occur.
≥If you use any aluminum foil, meat spikes or metal
ware the distance between them and the oven
walls and door should be at least 2 cm to prevent
sparking.
9) Feeding Bottles/Baby Food Jars
≥The contents of feeding bottles and baby food jars
are to be stirred or shaken.
≥The temperature has to be checked before
consumption to avoid burns.
