Never use metal containers for microwave and combination cooking, as sparks are likely to
occur. See the table below for more information.

e) Cooking tips
The following factors may affect the cooking result:
• Food arrangement
Place thicker areas towards the outside of the dish, with thinner parts towards the centre, and
spread evenly. Do not overlap if possible.
• Cooking time
Start cooking with a short time setting and extend the cooking time if needed. Overcooking may
result in smoke and burns.
• Cooking food evenly
Food such as chicken, hamburgers or steak should be turned once during cooking.
For liquid foods, stir the contents from the outside to the centre of the dish once or twice during
cooking.
• Allow standing time
After the cooking time has elapsed, leave the food in the oven for an adequate length of time,
as this allows it to complete its cooking cycle and cool down in a gradual manner.
• Determining whether the food is cooked
The colour and hardness of food help to determine if it is done. This includes:
- Steam coming out from all parts of food (not just the edges).
- Joints of poultry can be moved easily.
- Pork or poultry shows no signs of blood.
- Fish is opaque and can be sliced easily with a fork.
• Browning dish
When using a browning dish or self-heating container, always place a heat-resistant insulator
(such as a porcelain plate) underneath it to prevent damage to the turntable and rotating ring.
• Microwave-safe plastic wrap
When cooking food with a high-fat content, do not allow the plastic wrap to come into contact
with food as it may melt.
• Microwave-safe plastic cookware
Some microwave-safe plastic cookware might not be suitable for cooking foods with a high
fat and sugar content. In addition, the preheating time specified in the dish instruction manual
must not be exceeded.
f) Maintenance
Please check the following before arranging for the the product to be serviced.
• Place one cup of water (approx. 150 ml) in a glass measure in the oven and close the door
securely. The oven lamp should go off if the door is closed properly. Let the oven work for
1 minute.
• Does the oven lamp turn on?
• Does the cooling fan work? (Place your hand over the rear ventilation openings).
• Does the turntable rotate? (The turntable can rotate clockwise and counterclockwise. This
is quite normal).
• Is the water inside the oven hot?
If the answer to any of the above questions is "No", check your wall socket and the fuse in your
fuse box. If both the wall socket and the fuse are functioning properly, contact your nearest
approved service centre.
Servicing safeguards:
a. The high voltage capacitor remains charged after disconnection; short the negative terminal
of the high voltage capacitor to the oven chassis (use a screwdriver) to discharge before
touching.
