Microwaves and How They WorkMicrowaves are a form of high frequency radio waves similar to those used by a radio, including AM, FM and CB. They are similar to a television where the radio waves are converted to a picture on the screen. However, microwaves are much shorter than radio waves; approximately twelve centimetres wave length. Electricity is converted into microwave energy by the magnetron tube (which is the heart of the microwave oven).From the magnetron tube, microwave energy is transmitted to the oven cavity through a small plastic covered piece. The microwaves are converted to heat in the food. The microwaves enter from the outside of the food and travel through the food losing half of their power every two to three centimetres. Continued cooking to the centre occurs by conduction.Although pacemakers used to be affected by microwaves (as well as by other radio waves), they are now shielded and are not bothered by these interferences. This allows people with pacemakers to sit calmly by their radio or television and cook with microwave ovens.When microwaves come in contact with a substance, any one or combination of three things may occur.They can be:1. REFLECTED2. TRANSMITTED3. ABSORBED

Reflection:Metal substances REFLECT microwave energy and because there is no absorption, there is no heating. This is why the oven interior is either stainless steel or epoxy-coated steel. This ensures that the microwaves are kept inside the cavity and evenly distributed throughout the food with the help of the turntable.

Transmission:Such substances as paper, glass and plastic TRANSMIT microwave energy and do not become hot except from food. Because these substances do not reflect or absorb microwave energy, they are ideal materials for microwave cooking containers.

Absorption:Food contains moisture and will ABSORB microwave energy, which causes the moisture molecules within the food to vibrate at an incredible rate (2,450,000,000 times per second). Friction, created by the vibration, produces heat energy which is conducted throughout the food.

CircuitsYour microwave oven should be operated on a separate 10 A circuit from other appliances. Failure to do this may cause the power board fuse to blow, and/or food to cook slower. Do not insert higher value fuse in the power board.

Earthing InstructionsThis microwave oven must be earthed. In the event of an electrical short circuit, earthing reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current. This microwave oven is equipped with a cord having an earthing wire with an earthing plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and earthed.WARNING Improper use of the earthing plug can result in a risk of electric shock.

WARNINGa) The door seals and door seal areas should be

cleaned with a damp cloth. The appliance should be inspected for damage to the door seals and door seal areas and if these areas are damaged the appliance should not be operated until it has been repaired by a qualified service technician trained by the manufacturer.

b) It is hazardous for anyone other than a competent person to carry out any service or repair operation that involves the removal of a cover which gives protection against exposure to microwave energy.

c) If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.

d) Before use, the user should check that whether the utensils are suitable for use in microwave ovens.

e) Liquids or other foods must not be heated in sealed containers since they are liable to explode.

f) Only allow children to use the oven without supervision when adequate instructions have been given so that the child is able to use the oven in a safe way and understands the hazards of improper use.

Installation and General InstructionsGeneral Use1. In order to maintain high quality, do not operate

the oven when empty. The microwave energy will reflect continuously throughout the oven if no food or water is present to absorb energy. This can lead to damage to the microwave oven including arcing within the oven cavity.

2. If smoke is observed, press the STOP/RESET Pad and leave door closed in order to stifle any flames. Disconnect the power cord, and/or shut off power at the fuse or circuit breaker panel.

3. Do not dry clothes, newspapers or other materials in oven. They may catch on fire.

4. Do not use recycled paper products, 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 used.

5. Do not use newspapers or paper bags for cooking.6. Do not hit or strike the Control Panel.

Damage to controls may occur.7. POT HOLDERS may be needed as heat from food is

transferred to the cooking container and from the container to the Glass Tray. The GlassTray can be very hot after removing the cooking container from the oven.

8. Do not store flammable materials next to, on top of, or in the oven. It could be a fire hazard.

9. Do not cook food directly on Glass Tray unless indicated in recipes. (Food should be placed in a suitable cooking utensil.)

10. DO NOT use this oven to heat chemicals or other non-food products. DO NOT clean this oven with any product that is labelled as containing corrosive chemicals. The heating of corrosive chemicals in this oven may cause microwave radiation leaks.

11. Do not leave the microwave unattended while reheating or cooking food in disposable containers made of plastic, paper or other combustible materials, as these types of containers can ignite if overheated.

12. Appliances are not intended to be operated by means of an external timer or separate remote-control system.

Placement of Oven1. The oven must be placed on a flat, stable surface,

more than 85 cm above the floor. For correct operation, the oven must have sufficient air flow. Allow 15 cm of space on the top of the oven, 10 cm at the back, and 5 cm on both sides. If one side of the oven is placed flush to wall, the other side or top must not be blocked. Do not remove feet.a. Do not block air vents. If they are blocked

during operation, the oven may be overheated and damaged. When using any cloth over the oven, the air intake and exhaust should not be blocked. Also allow sufficient space on back and both sides of the oven.

b. Do not place oven near a hot or damp surface such as a gas stove, electric range or sink etc.

c. Do not operate oven when room humidity is too high.2. The appliance is freestanding type and shall

not be placed in a cabinet.3. This appliance is intended to be used in

household and similar applications such as: staff kitchen areas in shops, offices and other working environments;

farm houses; by clients in hotels, motels and other residential environments;

bed and breakfast type environments.

Food1. Do not use your oven for home canning or the

heating of any closed jar. Pressure will build up and the jar may explode. In addition, the microwave oven cannot maintain the food at the correct canning temperature. Improperly canned food may spoil and be dangerous to consume.

2. Do not attempt to deep fat fry in your microwave oven.

3. Do not boil eggs in their shell and whole hard-boiled eggs (unless otherwise stated in Cooking Guide section). Pressure will build up and the eggs will explode.

4. Potatoes, apples, egg yolks, chicken wings, whole squash and sausages are examples of foods with nonporous skins. This type of food must be pierced before cooking, to prevent bursting.

5. 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 hot liquid. 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 halfway through cooking time.d) After heating, allow to stand in the oven

for a short time, stirring again before carefully removing the container.

6. DO NOT USE A CONVENTIONAL MEAT THERMOMETER IN THE MICROWAVE OVEN. To check the degree of cooking of roasts and poultry use a MICROWAVE THERMOMETER. Alternatively, a conventional meat thermometer may be used after the food is removed from the oven. If undercooked, return meat or poultry to the oven and cook for a few more minutes at the recommended power level. It is important to ensure that meat and poultry are thoroughly cooked.

7. COOKING TIMES given in the Cooking Guide section are APPROXIMATE. Factors that may affect cooking time are preferred degree of moisture content, starting temperature, altitude, volume, size, shape of food and utensils used. As you become familiar with the oven, you will be able to adjust for these factors.

8. It is better to UNDERCOOK RATHER THAN OVERCOOK foods. If food is undercooked, it can always be returned to the oven for further cooking. If food is overcooked, nothing can be done. Always start with minimum cooking times recommended.

9. Extreme care should be taken when cooking popcorn in a microwave oven. Cook for minimum time as recommended by manufacturer. Use the directions suitable for the wattage of your microwave oven. NEVER leave oven unattended when popping popcorn.

10. When heating food in plastic or paper containers, check the oven frequently due to the possibility of ignition.

11. The contents of feeding bottles and baby food jars are to be stirred or shaken and the temperature is to be checked before consumption, in order to avoid burns.

Cookware and Utensils GuideIt is important to use the correct container when cooking in a microwave oven. The following will help you make the right selection.

Paper Products and Freezer WrapWaxed paper, paper plates, cups and napkins should not be used for heating or cooking food. Freezer wrap should not be used as it is not heat resistant and may melt. Paper towel, greaseproof paper and bake paper may be safely used for short periods of time for covering or lining.

Glass, Ceramic and ChinaHeat-Resistant glass cookware is invaluable in microwave cooking. Many of these items are readily available in most homes: glass jugs, mixing bowls, loaf dishes, covered casseroles, oblong baking dishes, pie plates and round or square cake dishes. Examples of this type of cookware are Pyrex and Corningware.Dinnerware can be used for microwave heating. Many brands of dinnerware are microwave safe. Check the care information for reference to microwave use for dinnerware and serving pieces. If dinnerware is marked ovenproof, it frequently is safe to use in the microwave oven. Several types of glassware and dinnerware are not recommended for use in the microwave oven. Do not use dishes with metallic trim or containers with metal parts. Do not use cups or mugs with glued on handles, as they may fall off with continued heating. Do not use delicate glassware. Although the glassware may be transparent to microwave energy the heat from the food may cause the glassware to crack.

PlasticsPlastic dishes, cups and some freezer containers should be used with care in a microwave oven. Choose plastic containers carefully, as some plastic containers may become soft, melt and may scorch. The majority of plastic dishes, even those designed for use in the microwave oven, are not suitable for cooking foods with high fat or sugar content, or for lengthy cooking times. Most microwave plastic dishes should not be used for longer than 3 to 5 minutes on High power. These dishes, although not suitable for extended cooking, may be used successfully for defrosting or for use on lower power levels.Cooking Bags designed to withstand boiling, freezing, or conventional heating are microwave safe. Prepare bags according to manufacturers directions. When cooking by microwave, DO NOT use wire twist-ties to close bag. They can act as an antenna and cause arcing (sparks).DO NOT COOK IN PLASTIC FOOD STORAGE BAGS.

Plastic Wrap can be used to cover dishes in most recipes. Over an extended heating time, some disfiguration of the wrap may occur. When removing plastic wrap covers, as well as any glass lid, be careful to remove it away from you to avoid steam burns.Loosen plastic but let dish stand, covered.

Jars and BottlesJars and bottles can be used to warm food to serving temperature, if the lid is removed first. Cooking should not be done in these containers since most are not heat resistant and during extended heating times, heat from food would cause cracking or breaking.

MetalMetal cookware or utensils, or those with metallic trim, should NOT be used in the microwave. Since microwave energy is reflected by metal, foods in metal containers will not cook evenly. There is also a possibility of arcing.Although metal utensils should be avoided in microwave cooking, some metal can be helpful when used correctly.Aluminum foil can be used safely, if certain guidelines are followed, to prevent overcooking. Small pieces of foil are used to shield areas such as chicken wings, tips of roasts, or other thin parts that cook before the rest of the recipe is finished. Make sure foil is attached securely and doesnt touch sides of oven, otherwise arcing may occur. Foil lined containers, either cardboard or plastic, should NOT be used in the microwave oven as arcing could occur.Metal twist-ties, either paper or plastic coated, should NOT be used in the microwave oven. Frozen dinner trays can be used in the microwave, if the container is no deeper than 2 cm and is filled with food. Metal skewers can not be used in microwave ovens as arcing may occur. Wooden skewers are readily available and give the same result.Shells: Scalloped baking shells are best used during reheating and for short periods of cooking time only.Thermometers are available for use in microwave ovens. DO NOT USE CONVENTIONAL MERCURY TYPE CANDY OR MEAT THERMOMETERS in food while cooking in the microwave oven.

Straw, Wicker and WoodStraw and wicker baskets may be used in the microwave oven for short periods of time to warm rolls or bread. Large wooden utensils, such as bowls or cutting boards should NOT be used for prolonged heating as the microwave energy may cause the wood to become dry and brittle.

General GuidelinesSTANDING TIMEDense foods e.g. meat, jacket potatoes andcakes, require standing time (inside or outsideof the oven) after cook ing, to allow heat to finishcon ducting to cook the centre completely. Wrapmeat joints and jacket potatoes in aluminiumfoil while standing. Meat joints need approx. 10-15 minutes, jacket potatoes 5 minutes. Otherfoods such as plated meals, vegetables, fishetc require 2-5 minutes standing. If food is notcooked after standing time, return to the ovenand cook for additional time. After defrostingfood, standing time should also be allowed. Seepages 17-19.

Small quantities cook faster than largequantities, also small meals will reheat morequickly than large portions.

Foods cook more quickly and evenly if spacedapart. NEVER pile foods on top of each other.

MOISTURE CONTENTMany fresh foods e.g. veget ables and fruit, varyin their moisture content throughout the season,particularly jacket potatoes. For this reasoncooking times may have to be adjusted. Dryingredients e.g. rice, pasta, can dry out duringstorage so cooking times may differ.

DENSITYPorous airy foods heat more quickly than denseheavy foods.

CLING FILMCling film helps keep the food moist and thetrapped steam assists in speeding up cookingtimes. Pierce before cooking to allow excesssteam to escape. Always take care whenremoving cling film from a dish as the build-upof steam will be very hot.

The skin or membrane on some foods willcause steam to build up during cooking. Thesefoods must be pierced or a strip of skin shouldbe peeled off before cooking to allow the steamto es cape. Eggs, potatoes, apples, sausagesetc, will all need to be pierced before cooking.DO NOT ATTEMPT TO BOIL EGGS IN THEIRSHELLS.

Cover foods with microwave cling film or a lid.Cover fish, vegetables, cas seroles, soups. Donot cover cakes, sauces, jacket potatoes orpastry items.

General Guidelines

General GuidelinesSHAPEEven shapes cook evenly. Food cooks betterby microwave when in a round container ratherthan square.

STARTING TEMPERATUREThe colder the food, the longer it takes to heatup. Food from a fridge takes longer to reheatthan food at room temperature. Foodtemperature should be between 5 and 8Cbefore cooking.

LIQUIDSAll liquids must be stirred before, during andafter heating. Water espe cially must be stirredbefore and during heating, to avoid eruption.Do not heat liquids that have previously beenboiled. DO NOT OVERHEAT.

TURNING AND STIRRINGSome foods require stirring during cooking.Meat and poultry should be turned after half thecooking time.

ARRANGINGIndividual foods e.g. chicken portions or chops,should be placed on a dish so that the thickerparts are towards the outside.

CHECKING FOOD

It is essential that food is checked during andafter a recommended cooking time, even if anAUTO PROGRAM has been used (just as youwould check food cooked in a conven tionaloven). Return the food to the oven for furthercooking if necessary.

DISH SIZEFollow the dish sizes given in the recipes, asthese affect the cook ing and reheating times. Aquan tity of food spread in a bigger dish cooksand reheats more quickly.

CLEANINGAs microwaves work on food particles, keepyour oven clean at all times. Stubborn spots offood can be removed by using a brandedmicrowave spray cleaner, sprayed onto a softcloth. Always wipe the oven dry after cleaning.

Containers to Use

PLASTICMany plastic containers are designed formicrowave use. Only use Tupperwarecontainers if they are designed for microwaveuse. Do not use Melamine as it will scorch. Donot use plastic for cooking foods high in sugar orfat or foods that require long cooking times e.g.brown rice. Never cook in margarine containersor yogurt pots, as these will melt with the heatfrom the food.

PAPERPlain white kitchen paper (kitchen towel) canbe used for covering blind pastry cases and forcover ing bacon to prevent splattering ONLYUSE FOR SHORT COOKING TIMES. NEVERRE-USE A PIECE OF KITCHEN TOWEL. Avoidkitchen paper containing manmade fibres. Check that branded re-cycled kitchen towel isrecommended for microwave use. Do not usewaxed or plastic coated cups as the finish maymelt in the oven. Greaseproof paper can beused to line the base of dishes and to coverfatty foods. White paper plates can be used forSHORT RE HEATING TIMES.

WICKER, WOOD, STRAW BASKETSDo not use these items in your microwave.With continued use and with prolongedexposure they will crack and could ignite. Donot use wooden dishes in your microwave.

CLING FILMUse microwave cling film to cover food that isto be reheated, or cooked, taking care to avoidthe film being in direct contact with the food.

ALUMINIUM FOILSmall amounts of smooth aluminium foil can beused to SHIELD joints of meat duringdefrosting and cooking. As the microwavescannot pass through the foil this prevents theshielded parts from overcooking oroverdefrosting. The foil must not touch thesides or roof of the oven, as this may causearching and damage your oven.

ROASTING BAGSThese are useful when slit up one side to tent ajoint of meat when roasting by power and time.Do not use the metal twists supplied.

Defrosting Guidelines

Arrange food in a single layer. Shield chickens and joints ofmeat .

Turn or break up food as soonas possible.

For Best Results:1. Place foods in a suitable container. Meat joints and chickens should be placed on an upturned

saucer or on a plastic rack if you have one.2. Check food during defrosting, as foods vary in their defrosting speed.3. It is not necessary to cover the food.4. Always turn or stir the food especially when the oven beeps. Shield if necessary (see point 6).5. Minced meat, chops and other small items should be broken up or separated as soon as

possible and placed in a single layer.6. Shielding prevents food cooking. It is essential when defrosting chickens and joints of meat.

The outside thaws out first, so protect wings/breast and fat with smooth pieces of aluminium foilsecured with cocktail sticks.

7. Allow standing time so that the centre of the food thaws out. (Minimum of 1 hour for joints ofmeat and whole chickens).

Cooking and Reheating GuidelinesMost foods reheat very quickly in your oven by HIGH power. Meals can be brought back to serving temperature in just minutes and will taste freshly cooked and NOT leftover. Always check food is piping hot and return to oven if necessary.

As a general rule, always cover wet foods, e.g. soups, casseroles and plated meals.

Do not cover dry foods e.g. bread rolls, mince pies, sausage rolls etc.

Remember when cooking or reheating any food that it should be stirred or turned wherever possible. This ensures even cooking or reheating on the outside and in the centre.

When is food reheated?Food that has been reheated or cooked should be served piping hot i.e. steam should be visibly emitted from all parts. As long as good hygiene practices have been followed during the preparation and storage of the food, then cooking or reheating presents no safety risks.

Foods that cannot be stirred should be cut with a knife to test that they are adequately heated throughout. Even if a manufacturers instructions or the times in the cookbook have been followed, it is still important to check the food is heated thoroughly. If in doubt, always return to the oven for further reheating.

If you cannot find the equivalent food in the chart then choose a similar type and size listed and adjust the cooking time if necessary.

MINCE PIES - CAUTIONREMEMBER even if the pastry is cold to the touch, the filling will be piping hot and will warm the pastry through. Take care not to overheat otherwise burning can occur due to the high fat and sugar content of the filling.Check the temperature of the filling before consuming to avoid burning your mouth.

CHRISTMAS PUDDINGS AND LIQUIDS - CAUTIONTake great care when reheating these items.

Do not leave unattended.

Do not add extra alcohol.

BABIES BOTTLES - CAUTIONMilk or formula MUST be shaken thoroughly before heating and again at the end and tested carefully before feeding a baby.

For 7-8 fl.oz. of milk from fridge temperature, remove top and teat. Heat on HIGH power for 30-50 secs.CHECK CAREFULLY.

For 3 fl.oz. of milk from fridge temperature, remove top and teat. Heat on HIGH power for 15-20 secs.CHECK CAREFULLY

N.B. Liquid at top of bottle will be much hotter than at bottom.The bottle must be shakenthoroughly and tested before use.

WE DO NOT RECOMMEND THAT YOU USE YOUR MICROWAVE TO STERILISE BABIES BOTTLES. If you have a special microwave steriliser we urge extreme caution, due to the low quantity of water involved. It is vital to follow the manufacturers instructions implicitly.

PLATED MEALSEveryones appetite varies and reheat times depend on meal contents. Dense items e.g. mashed potato, should be spread out well. If a lot of gravy is added, extra time may be required. Place denser items to the outside of the plate. Between 4-7 mins. on HIGH power will reheat an average portion Do not stack meals.

CANNED FOODSRemove foods from can and place in a suitable dish before heating.

SOUPSUse a bowl and stir before heating and at least once through reheat time and again at the end.

CASSEROLESStir halfway through and again at the end of heating.

Before Requesting Service

THESE THINGS ARE NORMALThe oven causes interference with my TV.

Some radio and TV interference might occur when you cook with the microwave oven. This interference is similar to the interference caused by small appliances such as mixers, vacuums, hair dryers, etc. It does not indicate a problem with your oven.

The oven lights dim. When cooking with a power other than HIGH power, the oven must cycle to obtain the lower power levels. The oven light will dim and clicking noises can be heard when the oven cycles.

Steam accumulates on the oven door and warm air comes from the oven vents.

During cooking, steam and warm air are given off from the food. Most of the steam and warm air are removed from the oven by the air which circulates in the oven cavity. However, some steam will condense on cooler surfaces such as the oven door. This is normal.

I accidentally ran my microwave oven without any food in it.

Running the oven empty for a short time will not damage the oven. However, we do not recommend this.

Ketuhar Gelombang Mikro dan FungsinyaGelombang mikro merupakan satu bentuk gelombang radio frekuensi yang sama seperti digunakan oleh radio termasuk AM, FM dan CB. Gelombang ini sama dengan televisyen, gelombang radio yang ditukar menjadi gambar pada skrin. Walau bagaimanapun, gelombang mikro lebih pendek daripada gelombang radio; kira-kira dua belas sentimeter panjang gelombang. Elektrik ditukar menjadi tenaga gelombang mikro oleh tiub magnetron (yang bertindak sebagai jantung ketuhar gelombang mikro).Dari tiub magnetron, tenaga gelombang mikro dipindahkan ke rongga ketuhar menerusi kepingan yang dilitupi plastik yang kecil. Gelombang mikro ditukar menjadi haba di dalam makanan. Gelombang mikro masuk melalui bahagian luar makanan dan menembusi makanan di samping kehilangan kuasanya setiap dua hingga tiga sentimeter. Memasak secara berterusan sehingga ke bahagian tengah berlaku dengan konduksi.Walaupun perentak jantung pernah terjejas oleh gelombang mikro (serta gelombang radio lain), kini tidak lagi kerana perentak itu dilindungi dan tidak diganggu oleh gangguan ini. Ini membolehkan orang yang menggunakan perentak jantung untuk duduk dengan tenang sambil mendengar radio atau menonton televisyen dan memasak menggunakan ketuhar gelombang mikro.Apabila gelombang mikro bersentuhan dengan bahan, sesiapa sahaja atau kombinasi tiga perkara berikut boleh berlaku.Ia termasuklah:1. TERPANTUL2. DIPANCAR3. DISERAP

Pantulan:Bahan logam MEMANTULKAN tenaga gelombang mikro dan oleh kerana tiada serapan, tiada pemanasan. Sebab inilah bahagian dalam ketuhar dibuat sama ada dengan keluli tahan karat atau besi bersalut epoksi. Ini memastikan gelombang mikro disimpan di dalam rongga dan diedarkan dengan rata di seluruh makanan dengan bantuan meja berputar.Pemancaran:Bahan seperti kertas, kaca dan plastik MEMANCARKAN tenaga gelombang mikro dan tidak menjadi panas kecuali daripada makanan. Oleh kerana bahan ini tidak memantul atau menyerap tenaga gelombang mikro, ia adalah bahan ideal untuk bekas memasak gelombang mikro.Serapan:Makanan mengandungi lembapan dan akan MENYERAP tenaga gelombang mikro, yang menyebabkan molekul lembapan di dalam makanan bergetar pada kadar mengagumkan (2,450,000,000 kali setiap saat).Geseran yang terhasil daripada getaran menghasilkan tenaga haba yang mengalir di seluruh makanan.LitarKetuhar gelombang mikro anda perlu dikendalikan pada litar 10 A berasingan daripada perkakas lain.Kegagalan melakukan ini boleh menyebabkan papan kuasa meletup, dan/atau makanan masak lebih perlahan. Jangan masukkan fius nilai lebih tinggi di dalam papan kuasa.

Arahan PembumianKetuhar gelombang mikro ini perlu dibumikan. Jika berlaku litar pintas, pembumian mengurangkan risiko kejutan elektrik dengan menyediakan wayar keluar untuk arus elektrik. Ketuhar gelombang mikro ini dilengkapi dengan kord yang mempunyai wayar pembumian berserta palam pembumian. Palam perlu dipasangkan ke dalam alur keluar yang dipasang serta dibumikan dengan betul.AMARAN Penggunaan palam pembumian yang tidak sesuai boleh menyebabkan risiko kejutan elektrik.

AMARANa) Kedap pintu dan kawasan sekitarnya perlu dibersihkan dengan kain

lembap. Perkakas perlu diperiksa sama ada terdapat kerosakan pada kedap pintu dan kawasan sekitarnya dan jika kawasan ini rosak, perkakas tidak harus dikendalikan sehingga dibaiki oleh juruteknik servis terlatih yang layak oleh pengeluar.

b) Adalah berbahaya untuk sesiapa sahaja selain daripada orang yang cekap menjalankan operasi menservis atau pembaikan yang melibatkan penanggalan penutup yang memberikan perlindungan daripada pendedahan terhadap tenaga gelombang mikro.

c) Jika kord bekalan rosak, pengeluar, ejen servis atau orang yang layak perlu menggantikannya bagi mengelakkan bahaya.

d) Sebelum digunakan, pengguna perlu memeriksa sama ada perkakas memasak sesuai untuk digunakan di dalam ketuhar gelombang mikro.

e) Cecair atau makanan lain tidak boleh dipanaskan di dalam bekas bertutup kerana boleh meletup.

f) Kanak-kanak dibenarkan untuk menggunakan ketuhar tanpa pengawasan hanya apabila arahan lengkap telah diberikan agar kanak-kanak dapat menggunakan ketuhar dengan selamat dan memahami bahaya penggunaan yang tidak betul.

28 29

Pemasangan dan Arahan UmumKegunaan Umum1. Bagi mengekalkan kualiti yang tinggi, jangan kendalikan

ketuhar semasa kosong. Tenaga gelombang mikro akan memantul secara berterusan di seluruh ketuhar jika tiada makanan atau air hadir untuk menyerap tenaga. Ini boleh menyebabkan kerosakan kepada ketuhar gelombang mikro termasuk pembengkokan di dalam rongga ketuhar.

2. Jika asap kelihatan, tekan Pad STOP/RESET (HENTI/TETAP SEMULA) dan biarkan pintu bertutup untuk mengekang sebarang nyalaan. Putuskan sambungan kord kuasa dan/atau matikan kuasa pada fius atau panel pemutus litar.

3. Jangan keringkan pakaian, surat khabar atau bahan lain di dalam ketuhar. Ia boleh terbakar.

4. Jangan gunakan produk daripada kertas kitar semula, melainkan produk kertas dilabel selamat untuk kegunaan di dalam ketuhar gelombang mikro. Produk kertas kitar semula mungkin mengandungi bendasing yang boleh menyebabkan percikan dan/atau api semasa digunakan.

5. Jangan gunakan surat khabar atau beg kertas untuk memasak.6. Jangan ketuk atau baling Panel Kawalan.

Kerosakan pada kawalan boleh berlaku.7. PEMEGANG PERIUK mungkin diperlukan kerana haba daripada

makanan dipindahkan kepada bekas makanan dan daripada bekas kepada Dulang Kaca. Dulang Kaca boleh menjadi sangat panas selepas bekas makanan dialih dari ketuhar.

8. Jangan simpan bahan mudah terbakar di sebelah, di atas atau di dalam ketuhar. Bahaya kebakaran boleh berlaku.

9. Jangan masak makanan terus di atas Dulang Kaca melainkan dinyatakan di dalam resipi. (Makanan perlu diletakkan di dalam perkakas memasak yang sesuai.)

10. JANGAN gunakan ketuhar ini untuk memanaskan bahan kimia atau produk bukan makanan yang lain. JANGAN bersihkan ketuhar ini dengan sebarang produk yang dilabel mengandungi bahan kimia menghakis. Pemanasan bahan kimia menghakis di dalam ketuhar ini boleh menyebabkan kebocoran radiasi gelombang mikro.

11. Jangan biarkan ketuhar gelombang mikro tanpa pengawasan semasa memanaskan semula atau memasak makanan di dalam bekas pakai buang yang dibuat daripada plastik, kertas atau bahan mudah terbakar yang lain, kerana bekas ini boleh menyalakan api jika terlebih panas.

12. Perkakas tidak bertujuan dikendalikan dengan cara pemasa luaran atau sistem kawalan jauh berasingan.

Peletakan Ketuhar1. Ketuhar hendaklah diletakkan pada permukaan rata, stabil, lebih

daripada 85 cm dari atas lantai. Bagi operasi yang betul, ketuhar perlu mempunyai liang udara yang baik. Benarkan ruang 15 cm di atas ketuhar, 10 cm di belakang dan 5 cm pada kedua-dua belah sisi. Jika satu sisi ditolak rapat ke dinding, sisi sebelah lagi atau bahagian atas tidak boleh disekat. Jangan alihkan kaki.a. Jangan sekat liang udara. Jika disekat semasa operasi, ketuhar

boleh menjadi terlebih panas dan rosak. Apabila meletakkan sebarang kain di atas ketuhar, ambilan dan pembuangan udara tidak boleh disekat. Benarkan ruang yang mencukupi pada bahagian belakang dan kedua-dua sisi ketuhar.

b. Jangan letakkan ketuhar berdekatan permukaan panas atau lembap seperti dapur gas, lingkungan elektrik atau sinki dll.

c. Jangan kendalikan ketuhar semasa kelembapan bilik terlalu tinggi.2. Perkakas ialah jenis bebas dan tidak perlu

diletakkan di dalam kabinet.3. Perkakas ini bertujuan digunakan di dalam

rumah dan aplikasi yang sama seperti: kawasan dapur staf di kedai, pejabat dan persekitaran kerja yang lain;

rumah ladang; oleh klien di hotel, motel dan persekitaran penduduk yang lain; persekitaran tempat tidur dan sarapan pagi.

Makanan1. Jangan gunakan ketuhar anda untuk memanaskan makanan di

dalam tin atau balang tertutup. Tekanan akan terbina dan balang boleh meletup. Tambahan lagi, ketuhar gelombang mikro tidak boleh mengekalkan makanan pada suhu tin yang betul. Makanan di dalam tin boleh rosak dan berbahaya untuk dimakan.

2. Jangan cuba menggoreng di dalam ketuhar gelombang mikro anda.

3. Jangan rebus telur dengan kulitnya dan telur rebus penuh (melainkan dinyatakan di dalam bahagian Panduan Memasak). Tekanan akan terbina dan telur boleh meletup.

4. Kentang, epal, kuning telur, kepak ayam, labu dan sosej merupakan contoh makanan dengan kulit tidak berongga. Makanan jenis ini perlu diceraikan sebelum memasak untuk mengelakkannya daripada meletup.

5. Semasa memanaskan cecair, cth. sup, sos dan minuman di dalam ketuhar gelombang mikro, terlebih panas cecair melebihi tahap didih boleh berlaku tanpa buih kelihatan. Ini boleh menyebabkan cecair panas mendidih secara tiba-tiba. Bagi mengelakkan daripada kemungkinan ini, langkah-langkah berikut perlu diambil:a) Elakkan daripada menggunakan bekas

bersisi tegak dengan leher sempit.b) Jangan terlebih panas.c) Kacau cecair sebelum meletakkan bekas di dalam ketuhar

dan pada pertengahan masa sepanjang masa memasak.d) Selepas memanaskan, biarkan sebentar di dalam

ketuhar, kacau semula sebelum mengalihkan bekas.6. JANGAN GUNAKAN TERMOMETER DAGING

KONVENSIONAL DI DALAM KETUHAR GELOMBANG MIKRO. Bagi memeriksa tahap memasak secara memanggang dan ayam itik, gunakan TERMOMETER KETUHAR GELOMBANG MIKRO. Sebagai pilihan, termometer daging konvensional boleh digunakan selepas makanan dikeluarkan daripada ketuhar. Jika kurang masak, masukkan semula daging atau ayam itik ke dalam ketuhar dan masak selama beberapa minit lagi pada tahap kuasa yang disarankan. Adalah penting untuk memastikan daging dan ayam itik dimasak sepenuhnya.

7. MASA MEMASAK yang diberikan dalam bahagian Panduan Memasak adalah NILAI HAMPIR. Faktor yang boleh memberi kesan terhadap masa memasak adalah tahap kandungan lembapan, suhu permulaan, altitud, isi padu, saiz, bentuk makanan dan perkakas yang digunakan. Sebaik sahaja anda dapat membiasakan diri dengan ketuhar, anda akan dapat melaras faktor ini.

8. Adalah lebih baik makanan KURANG MASAK DARIPADA TERLEBIH MASAK. Jika makanan kurang masak, makanan boleh dimasukkan ke dalam ketuhar untuk dimasak lagi. Jika makanan terlebih masak, tiada apa boleh dilakukan. Sentiasa mulakan dengan masa memasak minimum yang disarankan.

9. Ambil langkah berhati-hati apabila memasak bertih jagung di dalam ketuhar gelombang mikro. Masak mengikut masa minimum yang disarankan oleh pengeluar. Gunakan arahan yang sesuai bagi watt ketuhar gelombang mikro anda. JANGAN biarkan ketuhar tanpa pengawasan semasa memasak bertih jagung.

10. Apabila memanaskan makanan di dalam bekas plastik atau kertas, periksa ketuhar dengan kerap jika terdapat kemungkinan nyalaan.

Panduan Peralatan dan Perkakas MemasakAdalah penting untuk menggunakan bekas yang betul semasa memasak di dalam ketuhar gelombang mikro. Yang berikut akan membantu anda membuat pilihan yang betul.

Produk Kertas dan Pembalut BekuKertas lilin, pinggan kertas, cawan dan tisu tidak boleh digunakan untuk memanaskan atau memasak makanan. Pembalut beku tidak boleh digunakan kerana ia tidak tahan haba dan boleh cair. Tuala kertas, kertas kalis minyak dan kertas membakar selamat digunakan untuk tempoh sebentar bagi menutup atau melapis.

Kaca, Seramik dan TembikarPeralatan memasak kaca Tahan Haba bagus ketika memasak dengan ketuhar gelombang mikro. Kebanyakan item ini tersedia di rumah: jag kaca, mangkuk adunan, pinggan roti, kaserol bertutup, pinggan membakar berbentuk bujur, pinggan pai dan pinggan kek bulat atau segi empat. Contoh jenis perkakas memasak adalah Pyrex and Corningware.Set makan malam boleh digunakan untuk pemanasan ketuhar gelombang mikro. Banyak jenama set makan malam selamat digunakan di dalam ketuhar gelombang mikro. Periksa maklumat penjagaan set makan malam dan set menghidang untuk penggunaan ketuhar gelombang mikro. Jika set makan malam kalis ketuhar, adalah selamat untuk menggunakannya di dalam ketuhar gelombang mikro. Beberapa jenis perkakas kaca dan set makan malam tidak disarankan penggunaannya di dalam ketuhar gelombang mikro. Jangan gunakan pinggan dengan tepi berlogam atau bekas dengan bahagian logam. Jangan gunakan cawan atau mug yang bergam pada pemegang, kerana ia boleh tertanggal dengan pemanasan berterusan. Jangan gunakan perkakas kaca yang halus. Walaupun perkakas kaca bersifat lut sinar pada tenaga gelombang mikro, haba daripada makanan boleh menyebabkan perkakas kaca retak.PlastikPinggan plastik, cawan dan beberapa bekas sejuk beku perlu digunakan dengan berhati-hati di dalam ketuhar gelombang mikro. Pilih bekas plastik dengan berhati-hati kerana sesetengah bekas plastik boleh menjadi lembut, mencair dan berlekuk. Kebanyakan pinggan plastik, walaupun yang direka untuk kegunaan di dalam ketuhar gelombang mikro, tidak sesuai untuk memasak makanan berlemak tinggi atau tinggi kandungan gula atau untuk masa yang lama. Kebanyakan pinggan plastik gelombang mikro hanya boleh digunakan selama lebih 3 hingga 5 minit pada kuasa Tinggi. Pinggan-pinggan ini, walaupun tidak sesuai untuk masa memasak yang lama, boleh digunakan untuk menyahbeku atau pada tahap kuasa yang rendah di dalam ketuhar gelombang mikro.Beg Memasak yang direka untuk menahan didihan, pembekuan, atau pemanasan konvensional adalah selamat digunakan di dalam ketuhar gelombang mikro. Sediakan beg mengikut arahan pengeluar. Apabila memasak dengan ketuhar gelombang mikro, JANGAN gunakan tali pengikat untuk menutup beg. (Percikan) boleh berlaku kerana tindakannya sebagai antena.JANGAN MASAK DI DALAM BEG PLASTIK SIMPANAN MAKANAN.

Pembalut Plastik boleh digunakan untuk menutup makanan dalam kebanyakan resipi. Masa memasak yang terlebih lama boleh menyebabkan pembalut plastik berubah bentuk.Semasa menanggalkan pembalut plastik serta sebarang penutup kaca, berhati-hati ketika menanggalkannya bagi mengelakkan melecur daripada wap yang keluar.Longgarkan plastik tetapi pastikan hidangan ditutup.Balang dan BotolBalang dan botol boleh digunakan untuk memanaskan makanan pada suhu menghidang, jika penutup ditanggalkan.Memasak tidak boleh dilakukan di dalam bekas-bekas ini kerana kebanyakannya tidak tahan haba untuk masa memanaskan yang panjang, haba daripada makanan boleh menyebabkannya retak atau pecah.LogamPerkakas atau peralatan memasak logam, atau yang mempunyai tepi berlogam, TIDAK boleh digunakan di dalam ketuhar gelombang mikro. Oleh kerana tenaga gelombang mikro dipantul oleh logam, makanan di dalam bekas logam tidak dimasak dengan sempurna. Terdapat kemungkinan pembengkokan.Walaupun perkakas logam perlu dielakkan apabila memasak di dalam ketuhar gelombang mikro, sesetengah logam membantu apabila digunakan dengan betul.Kerajang timah boleh digunakan dengan selamat jika garis panduan tertentu dipatuhi, untuk mencegah terlebih memasak. Cebisan kecil kerajang digunakan untuk menutup kawasan seperti kepak ayam, hujung daging panggang atau bahagian nipis lain yang masak sebelum seluruh resipi selesai dimasak. Pastikan kerajang diletakkan dengan betul dan tidak menyentuh sisi ketuhar, jika tidak pembengkokan boleh berlaku. Bekas yang disalut kerajang, sama ada kadbod atau plastik, TIDAK boleh digunakan di dalam ketuhar gelombang mikro kerana pembengkokan boleh berlaku.Tali pengikat logam, sama ada disalut plastik atau kertas, TIDAK boleh digunakan di dalam ketuhar gelombang mikro. Dulang makan malam beku boleh digunakan di dalam ketuhar gelombang mikro, jika bekas tidak melebihi 2 cm dalam dan diisi dengan makanan. Pencucuk logam tidak boleh digunakan di ketuhar gelombang mikro kerana pembengkokan boleh berlaku. Pencucuk kayu yang tersedia dapat memberikan hasil yang sama.Cengkerang: Cengkerang bakar kekapis bagus digunakan semasa memanas semula dan untuk tempoh yang singkat sahaja.Termometer tersedia untuk digunakan di dalam ketuhar gelombang mikro. JANGAN GUNAKAN TERMOMETER KANDI ATAU DAGING JENIS MERKURI KONVENSIONAL di dalam makanan semasa memasak di dalam ketuhar gelombang mikro.Penyedut Minuman, Anyaman dan KayuPenyedut minuman dan bakul anyaman boleh digunakan di dalam ketuhar gelombang mikro untuk tempoh yang singkat untuk memanaskan kek gulung atau roti. Perkakas kayu yang besar, seperti mangkuk atau papan pemotong TIDAK boleh digunakan untuk pemanasan lama kerana tenaga gelombang mikro boleh menyebabkan kayu menjadi kering dan rapuh.

Garis Panduan UmumMASA PEGUNMakanan padat cth. daging, kentang dan kek, memerlukan masa pegun (di dalam atau di luar ketuhar) selepas memasak, untuk membolehkan haba memasak bahagian tengah sepenuhnya. Balut daging dan kentang dengan kerajang timah semasa masa pegun. Daging memerlukan kira-kira 10-15 minit, kentang kira-kira 5 minit. Makanan lain seperti hidangan bersalut, sayur-sayuran, ikan dsb. memerlukan 2-5 minit masa pegun. Jika makanan tidak dimasak selepas masa pegun, masukkan semula ke dalam ketuhar dan masa untuk masa tambahan. Selepas menyahbeku makanan, masa pegun perlu dibenarkan.

KUANTITI

Kuantiti yang sedikit boleh masak lebih cepat daripada kuantiti banyak, hidangan yang sedikit akan lebih cepat dipanaskan semula daripada hidangan yang banyak.

RUANG

Makanan masak lebih cepat dan rata jika dijauhkan antara makanan yang dimasak. JANGAN timbunkan makanan.

KANDUNGAN LEMBAPANBanyak makanan segar cth. sayur-sayuran dan buah-buahan, berbeza kandungan kelembapannya sepanjang musim, terutama kentang. Atas sebab ini masa memasak perlu dilaraskan. Bahan kering cth. beras, pasta boleh kering semasa disimpan jadi masa memasak mungkin berlainan.

KETUMPATANMakanan berongga lebih cepat panas daripada makanan padat.

FILEM MELEKAPFilem melekap memastikan makanan lembap dan wap yang terperangkap mempercepatkan masa memasak. Cucuk sebelum dimasak untuk membolehkan wap berlebihan keluar. Sentiasa berhati-hati semasa mengeluarkan filem melekap daripada pinggan kerana wap yang terkumpul sangat panas.

MENCUCUK

Kulit atau membran sesetengah makanan akan menyebabkan wap terhasil semasa memasak. Makanan-makanan ini perlu dicucuk atau kulit perlu dikupas sebelum memasak untuk membolehkan wap keluar. Telur, kentang, epal, sosej dll. kesemuanya perlu dicucuk sebelum dimasak.JANGAN CUBA MEREBUS TELUS BERSAMAKULITNYA.

MENUTUP

Tutup makanan dengan filem melekap gelombang mikro atau penutup. Tutup ikan, sayur, kaserol, sup. Jangan tutup kek, sos, kentang atau item pastri.

Garis Panduan UmumBENTUKBentuk yang sama dimasak dengan rata. Makanan dimasak lebih baik dengan gelombang mikro apabila di dalam bekas bulat daripada segi empat.

SUHU PERMULAANLebih sejuk makanan, lebih lama masa memanaskannya. Makanan daripada peti sejuk mengambil lebih lama masa untuk dipanaskan daripada makanan pada suhu bilik. Suhu makanan perlulah di antara 5 dan 8C sebelum dimasak.

CECAIRSemua cecair perlu dikacau sebelum, semasa dan selepas pemanasan. Terutamanya air perlu dikacau sebelum dan semasa pemanasan untuk mengelakkan daripada meletus.Jangan panaskan cecair yang telah dididihkan sebelum ini. JANGAN TERLEBIH PANAS.

MEMBALIK DAN MENGACAUSesetengah makanan memerlukan kacauan semasa dimasak. Daging dan ayam serta itik perlu dibalikkan selepas pertengahan masa memasak.

MENYUSUNMakanan individu cth. bahagian atau potongan ayam, perlu diletakkan di atas pinggan agar bahagian yang lebih tebal menghadap ke luar.

MEMERIKSA MAKANAN

Adalah penting untuk makanan diperiksa semasa dan selepas masa memasak yang disarankan, walaupun jika PROGRAM AUTO telah digunakan (seperti anda memeriksa makanan di dalam ketuhar konvensional). Masukkan semula makanan ke dalam ketuhar jika perlu dimasak lagi.

SAIZ PINGGAN

Ikut saiz pinggan yang diberikan di dalam resipi, kerana ini memberi kesan kepada masa memasak dan memanas. Kuantiti makanan yang disebarkan di dalam pinggan lebih besar memasak dan memanas lebih cepat.

MEMBERSIHGelombang mikro berfungsi pada zarah makanan, pastikan ketuhar anda bersih pada setiap masa. Kesan degil makanan boleh ditanggalkan dengan menggunakan pembersih semburan ketuhar gelombang mikro berjenama, semburkan pada kain lembut. Sentiasa lap ketuhar agar kering selepas dibersihkan.

Bekas untuk DigunakanMemilih bekas yang betul sangat penting dalam menentukan kejayaan atau kegagalan masakan anda.

Panduan Pemeriksaan Pantas Peralatan MemasakKACA KETUHAR PERIUK, BARANG TEMBIKAR,

TEMBIKAR BATUKaca yang tahan haba cth. Pyrex adalah paling sesuai.Jangan gunakan kaca halus yang boleh retak disebabkan haba daripada makanan. Jangan gunakan kristal plumbum yang boleh retak atau bengkok.

Hanya gunakan jika disadur sepenuhnya. Jangan gunakan jika disadur separa atau tidak disadur langsung kerana barangan ini dapat menyerap air yang akan menyerap tenaga gelombang mikro, menjadikan bekas sangat panas dan lambat memanas makanan.

TEMBIKAR DAN SERAMIK BEKAS KERAJANG TIMAH/LOGAMPinggan tembikar berkilat, mangkuk, mug dan cawan boleh digunakan jika tahan haba. Porselin dan seramik juga boleh digunakan. Tembikar hanya boleh digunakan untuk memanas dalam masa yang singkat, jika tidak perubahan suhu boleh menjadikan tembikar retak. Jangan gunakan pinggan dengan corak atau tepi berlogam. Jangan gunakan jag atau mug yang bergam pada pemegangnya, kerana gam boleh cair di dalam ketuhar gelombang mikro.

JANGAN CUBA MEMASAK DI DALAM bekas KERAJANG TIMAH ATAU LOGAM gelombang mikro tidak dapat menembusi dan makanan tidak memanas dengan rata ini juga bolehmerosakkan ketuhar anda.Gunakan kayu kebab, bukannya pencucuk logam.

Bekas untuk DigunakanPLASTIKBanyak bekas plastik direka untuk kegunaan ketuhar gelombang mikro. Hanya gunakan bekas Tupperware jika bekas ini direka untuk kegunaan gelombang mikro. Jangan gunakan Melamine kerana ia akan hangus. Jangan gunakan plastik untuk memasak makanan yang tinggi kandungan gula atau lemak dengan masa yang lama cth. beras perang. Jangan masak di dalam bekas mentega atau mangkuk yogurt, kerana bekas ini akan cair daripada haba dalam makanan.

KERTASKertas dapur (tisu dapur) boleh digunakan untuk menutup bekas pastri dan untuk menutup bakon bagi mengelakkan percikan HANYA GUNAKAN UNTUK MASA MEMASAK YANG PENDEK. JANGAN GUNAKAN SEMULA KERTAS TISU DAPUR. Elakkan tisu dapur yang mengandungi serat buatan manusia.Periksa tisu dapur berjenama kitar semula, kerana penggunaannya disarankan untuk ketuhar gelombang mikro. Jangan gunakan cawan berlilin atau plastik kerana ia boleh mencair di dalam ketuhar. Kertas kalis minyak boleh digunakan untuk melapik dasar pinggan dan untuk menutup makanan berlemak. Pinggan kertas putih boleh digunakan untuk MASA MEMASAK YANG PENDEK.

BAKUL ANYAMAN, KAYU, PENYEDUT MINUMANJangan gunakan item ini di dalam ketuhar gelombang mikro anda. Dengan penggunaan berterusan dan pendedahan berpanjangan, akan menjadikannya retak dan boleh menyala. Jangan gunakan pinggan kayu di dalam ketuhar gelombang mikro anda.

FILEM MELEKAPGunakan filem melekap untuk menutup makanan yang mahu dipanaskan semula atau dimasak, berhati-hati untuk mengelakkan filem bersentuhan dengan makanan.

KERAJANG TIMAHJumlah kerajang timah lembut yang sedikit boleh digunakan untuk MELINDUNGI sendi daging semasa menyahbeku dan memasak. Oleh kerana gelombang mikro tidak boleh menembusi kerajang, ia mengelakkan bahagian terlindung daripada terlebih masak atau terlebih nyahbeku. Kerajang tidak boleh menyentuh sisi atau bumbung ketuhar kerana boleh menyebabkan pembengkokan dan merosakkan ketuhar anda.

BEG MEMANGGANGIni berguna semasa membuka satu sisi untuk melindungi sendi daging apabila memanggang dengan kuasa dan masa. Jangan gunakan pemutar logam yang diberikan.
