Utensil safety

Only use utensils that are suitable for use in a microwave oven. Most glass, glass ceramic and heat-resistant glass-ware utensils are excellent for use in the micro-wave oven. Although microwave energy will not heat most glass and ceramic items, these utensils can become hot as heat transfers from the food to the container. The use of oven gloves to remove dishes is recommended.
Testing suitability of cookware
Utensils should be checked to ensure they are suitable for use in Microwave Ovens. Place the cookware in the microwave along with a glass half full of water. Heat on (900W) (100%) for one minute. If the cookware feels hot, you should not use it. If it is just slightly warm, you can use it for reheating but not for cooking. If the dish is room temperature, it is suitable for microwave cooking.

EMS2840

Paper napkins, wax paper, paper towels, plates, cups, cartons, freezer wrap and cardboard are great convenience utensils. Always be sure containers are filled with food to absorb energy and thus avoid the possibility of overheating or ignition. Many plastic dishes, cups, freezer containers and plastic wraps may be used in the microwave oven. Follow manufacturers instructions when using plastics in the oven. Avoid using plastic utensils with foods that have high fat or sugar content since these foods reach high temperatures and could melt some plastics. Do not leave oven unattended, and look at it from time to time when heating or cooking food in plastic, paper or other combustible containers. Metal utensils and utensils with metallic trim should not be used in the microwave oven, unless specifically recommended for microwave use. Containers with restricted openings, such as bottles, should not be used for microwave cooking. Use caution when removing a lid or cover from a dish to avoid steam burns.
7. The container and turntable may become hot during use, take great care when removing either from the oven. It is advisable to use an oven cloth or glove when doing so. 8. Remember when using an aluminium foil container that the reheating or cooking times may be longer than you are used to, always ensure that the food is piping hot before serving.

Food safety

Do not heat food in a can in the microwave oven. Always remove the food to a suitable container. Deep fat frying should not be done in the microwave oven, because the fat temperature cannot be controlled, hazardous situations can result. Popcorn may be prepared in the microwave oven, but only in special packages or utensils designed specifically for this purpose. This cooking operation should never be unattended. Pierce foods with non-porous skins or membranes to prevent steam build-up and bursting. Apples, potatoes, chicken livers, and egg yolks are examples of items that should be pierced. 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.

Foil containers

Shallow foil containers may safely be used to reheat foods in your microwave oven providing the following rules are observed: 1. Foil containers should not be more than 3 cms (1 1/4) deep. 2. Foil lids must not be used. 3. The foil containers must be at least two-thirds full of food. Empty containers must never be used. 4. Foil containers should be used singly in the microwave oven and should not be allowed to touch the sides. If your oven has a metal turntable or cooking rack, the foil container should be placed on an upturned oven-proof plate. 5. Foil containers should never be re-used in the microwave oven. 6. If the microwave oven has been in use for 15 minutes or more, allow it to cool before using it again.
WARNING : Liquids or other foods
must not be heated in sealed containers since they are liable to explode.
WARNING : Microwave heating of
beverages can result in delayed eruptive boiling, therefore care must be taken when handling the container.
WARNING : When heating liquids,
e.g. soups, 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:
EMS2840 1. Avoid using straight-sided containers with narrow necks. 2. Do not overheat.
Safety instructions when cooking with grill, combination modes.
1. The glass viewing window may break if water is spilled on it during grill cooking. 2. Be sure to use an oven glove when loading and unloading the oven. Containers get very hot in the oven, so be careful not to burn yourself. The turntable and metal rack also get very hot so be sure to use an oven glove when handling them. 3. Do not touch the inner or outer viewing window with metal components when loading or unloading the oven. The inside of the door and oven get very hot so take care when attending food in the oven. 4. Do not put the turntable or containers in cold water or try to cool them quickly after use. 5. Do not place items on top of the cabinet. The top of the cabinet gets very hot, so anything placed on it may be damaged by the heat. 6. Preheat your oven only when using the Grill, never when using microwave or combination modes (Microwave and Grill)

3. Stir the liquid before placing the container in the oven and again halfway through the heating time. 4. After heating, allow to stand in the oven for a short time, stirring again before carefully removing the container.
WARNING : Some products such as
whole eggs and sealed containers for example, closed glass jars may explode and should not be heated in this oven. Occasionally, poached eggs may explode during cooking. Always pierce the yolk, then cover and allow the standing time of one minute before removing cover.
It is quite normal for steam to be emitted around the door, or for misting to occur on the door, or even for water droplets to appear below the door during the cooking cycle. This is merely condensation from the heat of the food and does not affect the safety of your oven. The door is not intended to seal the oven cavity completely. Do not force the turntable to rotate by hand. This may cause malfunctioning. Arcing in the oven during microwave operation usually occurs from use of metallic utensils. Continuous arcing, however, can damage the unit. Stop the programme and check the utensil. Care should be taken not to obstruct any air vents located on the top, rear, side and bottom of the oven.
Warning : When the appliance is used in combination mode, Children should only use the oven under adult supervision due to the temperature generated.

Keep these instructions!

m WARNING : Do not use this oven for
commercial purposes.This oven is made for domestic use only.

Installation.

Connecting to the mains
1. Remove any promotion label from the door. 2. The oven should be installed on a flat, level surface.

Defrosting Tips
1. It is better to underestimate defrosting time if you are unsure. Food will continue to defrost during the standing time. 2. Separate food as soon as possible. 3. Turn large items, e.g. joints, halfway through the defrosting time. 4. Remove any thawed food as soon as possible. 5. Remove or open any packaging before defrosting. 6. Place food in a larger container than that which it was frozen in, this will allow for easy stirring. 7. Begin thawing poultry, breast side down and turn over halfway through defrosting time or at pause. Delicate areas such as wing tips can be shielded with small pieces of smooth foil. Standing time is very important, particularly for large, dense foods which cannot be stirred to ensure that the centre is completely defrosted before cooking.

Microwave Hints Microwave Tips
Always keep the oven clean avoid spill-overs and do not forget to clean under the glass tray and the inside of the door. Preferably use round or oval casseroles with a lid when cooking in your microwave oven. Do not use metal or metal decorated casseroles. Certain plastic materials can melt and be warped by hot food. Cover the food when cooking. Use a glass lid, a plate or grease proof paper. Pastry, bread and the like can be defrosted directly in a bread basket or on a paper towel. If frozen food is heated in its packaging, the packaging should be opened. Packaging containing metal or metal decoration must not be used unless specifically recommended for use in the microwave. Remove metal clips and wire ties. Smaller pieces of aluminium foil can be used to cover parts that easily over cook such as chicken legs. Food with peel or skin should be pierced with a fork e.g. potatoes and sausages. Do not boil eggs in the microwave oven as they can explode. Put large, thick pieces close to the edge of the casserole and try to cut the food in to even sized pieces. Always place the food in the centre of the oven. The food will be evenly cooked if you stir or turn it a few times. Always set a shorter cooking time than indicated in your recipe to avoid over cooking. The larger the amount of food the longer it takes. Use little or no water for vegetables. Use less salt and spices than for normal cooking. Season afterwards. Allow a few minutes standing time after the oven has switched off to ensure complete and even cooking results. Always ensure food is piping hot throughout before serving. Use pot holders or gloves when taking dishes and food from the oven.
