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.
English
N.B.: If the recommended cooking times are exceeded
English
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,
chicken wings 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 when using MICROWAVE 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 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, stirring again before carefully removing the
container.
e) 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 labeled 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
the bags in oven.
Utensils/Foil
• Do not heat any closed cans or bottles because they might
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 top and teat or lid must be removed from feeding bottles or baby food jars before placing in the oven.
• 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.
10) Place in Use
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.

1. Turbo Defrost can be used to defrost many cuts of meat, poultry and fish by weight. To use, simply program Turbo Defrost
and the weight of the food in kg (1.0) and tenths of a kg (0.1). The oven will determine the defrosting time and power levels.
Once the oven is programmed, the defrosting time will appear in the display. For best results the minimum recommended
weight is 0.2 kg.
2. BONE-IN ROASTS, such as a Beef Rib Roast or Pork Loin Rib Roast have a smaller muscle than a boneless roast of the
same weight. Therefore, for bone-in roasts weighing over 2 kg reduce weight by 0.5 kg. For bone-in roasts weighing less
than 2 kg, reduce weight by 0.25 kg.

Care of your Microwave Oven
1. The oven should be cleaned regularly and any food
deposits removed.
2. Turn the oven off and remove the power plug from the wall
socket before cleaning.
3. Keep the inside of the oven clean. When food splatters or
spilled liquids adhere to oven walls, wipe with a damp
cloth. Mild detergent may be used if the oven gets very
dirty. The use of harsh detergent or abrasives is not rec-
English
English
ommended.
4. The outside oven surfaces should be cleaned with a damp
cloth. To prevent damage to the operating parts inside the
oven, water should not be allowed to seep into the ventilation openings.
5. Do not allow the Control Panel to become wet. Clean with
a soft, damp cloth. Do not use detergents, abrasives or
spray-on cleaners on the Control Panel.
When cleaning the Control Panel, leave oven door open to
prevent oven from accidentally turning on. After cleaning
press Stop/Reset Pad to clear display window or make
sure TIME/WEIGHT SELECT DIAL is set to zero position.
6. If steam accumulates inside or around the outside of the
oven door, wipe with a soft cloth. This may occur when the
microwave oven is operated under high humidity conditions and in no way indicates malfunction of the unit.
7. It is occasionally necessary to remove the glass tray for
cleaning. Wash the tray in warm sudsy water or in a dishwasher.
8. The roller ring and oven cavity floor should be cleaned
regularly to avoid excessive noise. Simply wipe the bottom
surface of the oven with mild detergent, water or window
cleaner and dry. The roller ring may be washed in mild
sudsy water or dish washer. Cooking vapors collect during
repeated use but in no way affect the bottom surface or
roller ring wheels. When removing the roller ring from cavity floor for cleaning, be sure to replace in the proper position.
9. When it becomes necessary to replace the oven light,
please consult a dealer to have it replaced.
10. Failure to maintain the oven in a clean condition could
lead to deterioration of the surface that could adversely
affect the life of the appliance and possibly result in a hazardous situation.

Introduction
Cooking with Microwave Energy
Microwaves are a form of high frequency electromagnetic waves (approx 12cm wavelength) similar to those used by a
radio. Electricity is converted into microwave energy by the magnetron tube. The microwaves travel from the magnetron
tube to the oven cavity where they are reflected, transmitted or absorbed.
English
English
Reflection
Microwaves are reflected by metal
just as a ball is bounced off a wall.
A combination of stationary (interior
walls) and rotating metal (turntable
or stirrer fan) helps assure that the
microwaves are well distributed within the oven cavity to produce even
cooking.
Transmission
Microwaves pass through some
materials such as paper, glass and
plastic much like sunlight shining
through a window. Because these
substances do not absorb or reflect
the microwave energy, they are ideal
materials for microwave oven cooking containers.
Absorption
Microwaves are absorbed by food.
They penetrate to a depth of about 2
to 4cm. Microwave energy excites
the molecules in the food (especially
water, fat and sugar molecules), and
causes them to vibrate very quickly.
The vibration causes friction and heat
is produced. In large foods, the heat
which is produced by friction is conducted to the center to finish cooking.

Microwave Cooking Techniques
English
English
Dish Size
Follow the dish sizes given in the
recipes, as these affect the cooking
times. A quantity of food spread in a
bigger dish cooks more quickly.
Standing Time
Dense foods e.g. meat, jacket potatoes and cakes, require STANDING
TIME (inside or outside of the oven)
after cooking, to allow heat to finish
conducting to cook the centre completely.
Meat Joints
Stand 15 mins. wrapped in tin foil.
Jacket Potatoes
Stand 10 mins. wrapped in tin foil.
Light Cakes
Stand 5 mins. before removing from
dish.
Rich dense Cakes
Stand 15-20 mins.
Cling Film
Cling film helps keep the food moist
and the trapped steam assists in
speeding up cooking times. However,
it should be pierced before cooking,
to allow excess steam to escape.
Always take care when removing
cling film from a dish as the build-up
of steam will be very hot. Always purchase cling film that states on the
packet “suitable for microwave cooking” and use as a covering only. Do
not line dishes with cling film.
Quantity
Small quantities cook faster than
large quantities, also small meals will
reheat quicker than large portions.
If food is not cooked after STANDING
TIME, return to oven and cook for
additional time.
Moisture Content
Many fresh foods e.g. vegetables and
fruit, vary in their moisture content
throughout the season- jacket potatoes are a particular example of this.
For this reason cooking times may
have to be adjusted throughout the
year. Dry ingredients e.g. rice, pasta,
can dry out further during storage
and cooking times may differ from
ingredients freshly purchased.
Density
Porous airy foods heat quicker than
dense heavy foods.
Fish
Stand 2-5 mins.
Egg Dishes
Stand 2-3 mins.
Precooked Convenience Food
Stand for 5 mins.
Plated Meals
Stand for 2-5 mins.
Vegetables
Boiled potatoes benefit from standing
1-2 mins., however most other types
can be served immediately.
Piercing
The skin or membrane on some
foods will cause steam to build up
during cooking. These foods must be
pierced or a strip of skin should be
peeled before cooking to allow the
steam to escape. Eggs, potatoes,
apples, sausages etc, will all need to
be pierced before cooking. DO NOT
ATTEMPT TO BOIL EGGS IN THEIR
SHELLS.

Microwave Cooking Techniques

English
(Continued)
Covering
Cover foods with microwave cling film
or a self-fitting lid. Cover fish, vegetables, casseroles, soups. Do not cover
cakes, sauces, jacket potatoes, pastry items.
Turning and Stirring
Some foods require stirring during
cooking. Meat and poultry should be
turned after half the cooking time. All
liquid must be stirred before and during heating. Water, especially must
be stirred before and during heating,
to avoid eruption.
Starting Temperature
The colder the food, the longer it
takes to heat up. Food from a fridge
takes longer to reheat than food at
room temperature.
Shape
Even shapes cook evenly. Food
cooks better by microwaves when in
a round container rather than a
square one.
Spacing
Foods cook more quickly and evenly
if spaced apart. NEVER pile foods on
top of each other.
Arranging
Individual foods e.g. chicken portions
or chops, should be placed on a dish
so that the thicker parts are on the
outside.
Checking Food
It is essential that food is checked during and after a recommended cooking time, even if an AUTO PROGRAM
has been used (just as you would check food cooked in a convectional oven). Return the food to the oven for
further cooking if necessary.

Turn dense foods and meat 2-3 times
during defrosting.
Defrosting Tips and Techniques
Preparation for Freezing:
1. Heavy-duty plastic wraps, bags and freezer wrap are suitable.
2. Freeze meats, poultry and fish in packages with only 1 or 2 layers of food. To aid in separating layers, place two
pieces of wax paper between them.
3. REMOVE ALL AIR and seal securely.
4. LABEL package with type and cut of meat, date and weight.
5. Defrosting times given in the charts are for thoroughly frozen foods (i.e. at least 24 hours in freezer maintained at
-18°C or lower).
Defrosting Technique:
1. Remove from wrapper and set on a roasting rack in a dish on Glass Tray.
2. Throughout the defrosting time, remove any defrosted portions of mince or cubed meat, etc.
3. After defrosting, large roasts may still be icy in the centre. Let stand, 15 to 30 minutes, in refrigerator to
complete defrosting.

Converting Your Favourite Conventional
Recipes for Microwave Cooking
When adapting conventional recipes for microwave cooking, reduce the conventional cooking time by one quarter
or one third.
e.g. A chicken which takes 1 hour to cook in a moderate
oven will take 15 to 20 minutes on MEDIUM Power in
English
English
your microwave oven.
Use similar microwave recipes to help you adapt conventional recipes. Remember, it is always best to undercook a
recipe and then add an extra minute or two to finish it off.
Here are some other tips that may help:
• Reduce liquids in a conventional recipe by one half to
two thirds, e.g. 1cup (250 ml) should be reduced to
cup (125 ml).
• Add more thickening such as flour or cornflour to sauces
and gravies if you do not reduce the liquid.
• Reduce seasonings slightly in a recipe where ingredients
do not have time to simmer by microwave.
• Do not salt meats, poultry or vegetables before cooking;
otherwise, they will toughen and dry out.
• If one ingredient takes longer to cook than the others,
precook it in the microwave oven first. Onion, celery and
potato are examples.
• If meat or vegetables are not being browned before
cooking, omit any oil or fat that would have been used
for browning.
• Reduce leavening agents for cakes by one quarter and
increase liquids by one quarter.
• Biscuits require a stiff dough. Increase flour by about 20
percent. Substitute brown sugar for white sugar and use
biscuit recipes that have dark spices or require icing.
Because of the short cooking time, biscuits don’t have to
brown. Chill dough for half an hour before baking. This
produces a crisper biscuit. Bake biscuits on a glass tray
lined with greaseproof paper.
• Since microwaves penetrate foods about two centimetres from the top, bottom and sides, mixtures in round
shapes and rings cook more evenly. Corners receive
more energy and may overcook.
• Items with a lot of water, such as rice and pasta, cook in
about the same time as they would on a conventional
stove. (Refer to Rice and Pasta chapter.)
Select recipes that convert easily to microwave cooking
such as casseroles, stews, baked chicken, fish and vegetable dishes. The results from foods such as grilled
meats, cooked souffles or two-crust pies could be less
than satisfactory. Never

Menu Planning for Microwave Cooking
How to Keep Everything Hot at The Same Time
Plan your meals so that the food will not all need last
minute cooking or attention at the same time. The special
features of microwave cookery make it easy to serve
meals with everything piping hot. Cooking of some foods
may be interrupted while you start others, without harming
the nutritional value or flavour of either.
A recipe which requires standing time can be microwaved
first and another food cooked while it stands. Dishes prepared in advance can be reheated briefly before serving.
It does take some experience and time to cook with confidence. Microwaves are fast so you will have to do some
experimenting. You might find you will use your conven-
1
⁄2
tional range in conjunction with your microwave oven. For
example, while cooking the roast in the microwave oven,
you can be cooking the vegetables and gravy on the
range top. This can also be done the other way around.
Prepare your meals as follows.
1. Firstly, cook the most dense item (roast or casserole).
Drain and retain meat juice from joints then cover with
foil.
2. Cook the potatoes, rice or pasta.
3. Cover with foil for standing.
4. Cook greens and other vegetables.
5. Cover with foil for standing.
6. Cook the gravy with the retained meat juices, stock and
thickening.
7. Carve the roast and serve the vegetables and gravy.
While you are learning to plan meals, you may get a bit
behind time. Don’t worry. Dinner servings may be suitably
reheated on MEDIUM-HIGH, at 2 minutes per serving.
If you prefer not to use foil, cover food with saucepan lids.
A metal lid will retain the heat for at least 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, how can you cook all the vegetables at the
same time? Simply place potatoes and pumpkin in one
dish and less dense vegetables such as broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, beans and peas in another. Sprinkle
greens with water. Cover with a lid or plastic wrap. Cook
on HIGH for approximately 6 to 8 minutes for a serving for
four people. Remember, if you increase the quantity of
vegetables, increase the cooking time. Fresh and frozen
vegetables can be mixed on a vegetable platter, but
remember the latter are not as dense as fresh vegetables,
as they have been blanched before freezing.
If vegetables are cut to a similar size, they can be cooked
in separate ramekins or small dishes at the same time.

If the poultry is not cooked enough, return it to the oven
and cook a few more minutes at the recommended power
level.
DO NOT USE A CONVENTIONAL MEAT THERMOMETER IN THE MICROWAVE OVEN.
Let stand, covered with foil, 10 -15 minutes after cooking.
Standing time allows the temperature to equalize throughout the food and finishes the cooking process.
If a large amount of juice accumulates in the bottom of
the baking dish, occasionally drain it. If desired, reserve
juices for making gravy.
Less-tender birds should be cooked in liquid such as
soup or broth. Use 1⁄4 cup per 500 g of poultry.
Use an oven cooking bag or a covered casserole. Select
a covered casserole deep enough so that bird does not
touch the lid.
If an oven cooking bag is used, prepare according to
package directions. Do not

After cooking, check the internal temperature of the bird
with a microwave or conventional meat thermometer
inserted into the muscle. Check temperature in both muscles. The thermometer should not touch bone. If it does,
the reading could be inaccurate. A thermometer cannot
be accurately inserted into a small bird. To check desired
cooking of a small bird, juices should be clear and the
drumsticks should readily move up and down after standing time.
During cooking, it may be necessary to shield legs, wings
and the breast bone with foil to prevent overcooking.
Wooden toothpicks can be used to hold foil in place.

shank bone by cupping it with foil. One third of the way
through cooking, remove ham from oven and cut off skin.
Turn fat side up and reshield edges. If desired, glaze last
10 to 20 minutes of cooking.
Loosely cover baking dish with wax paper or paper towel
to prevent splatter. If a large amount of juice accumulates
in the bottom of the dish, drain occasionally. If desired,
reserve for making gravy. Multiply the weight of the roast
by the minimum recommended times per 500 g.
Programme Power and Time.
Meats can be shielded at the beginning of cooking or
halfway through cooking. If you wish to shield at the
g
beginning of cooking, remove foil halfway through the
cooking time. Beef and pork rib roasts should be shielded
by the bones. Foil should extend about
5 cm down from bones. The shank and thin ends of
boneless roasts should also be shielded. Make sure foil
does not touch the sides of the oven, as arcing may
occur. Canned hams should be shielded on the top cutedge with a 3 cm strip of foil. Wrap strip of foil around
ham and secure to body of ham with wooden toothpicks.
Fold 2 cm over cut surface. After heating, check temperature using a meat thermometer. The thermometer should
not touch bone or fat. If it does, the reading could be
inaccurate. Lower temperatures are found in the centre of
the roast and in the muscle close to a large bone, such
as a pork loin centre rib roast. If the temperatures are
low, return meat to the oven and cook a few more minutes at the recommended power level. DO NOT USE A
CONVENTIONAL MEAT THERMOMETER IN THE
MICROWAVE OVEN. Let stand, covered with foil, 10-15
minutes. During standing time the internal temperature
equalises and the temperature rises 5°C to 10°C.
