R-798M Operation Manual 23/06/2004 15:19 Page 23 MICROWAVE COOKING ADVICE Microwaves cook food faster than conventional cooking. It is therefore essential that certain techniques are followed to ensure good results. Many of the following techniques are similar to those used in conventional cooking. WARNING: Liquids and foods must not be heated in sealed containers or jars/containers with lids on, as pressure will build up inside and may cause the jar/container to explode.
R-798M Operation Manual 23/06/2004 15:19 Page 24 MICROWAVE COOKING ADVICE Food Characteristics Composition Foods high in fat or sugar (e.g. Christmas pudding, mince pies) require less heating time. Care should be taken as overheating can lead to fire. Bones in food conduct heat, making the food cook more quickly. Care must be taken so that the food is cooked evenly. Density Food density will affect the amount of cooking time needed.
R-798M Operation Manual 23/06/2004 15:19 Page 25 SUITABLE COOKWARE Round/oval dishes are preferable to square/oblong ones, as the food in the corners tends to overcook. A variety of cookware can be used as listed below. To cook/defrost food in a microwave oven, the microwave energy must be able to pass through the container to penetrate the food. Therefore it is important to choose suitable cookware.
R-798M Operation Manual 23/06/2004 15:19 Page 26 DEFROSTING ADVICE Using your microwave oven is the quickest defrosting method. It is a simple process but the following instructions are essential to ensure the food is thoroughly defrosted. • Remove all packaging and wrapping before defrosting. • To defrost food, use microwave power levels 30% or 10%. • Please refer to the defrosting chart on page 33 for further information.
R-798M Operation Manual 23/06/2004 15:19 Page 27 REHEATING ADVICE For the reheating of foods, follow the advice and guidelines below to ensure food is thoroughly reheated before serving. Plated meals Remove any poultry or meat portions, reheat these separately, see below. Place smaller items of food to the centre of the plate, larger and thicker foods to the edge. Cover with vented microwave cling film and reheat on 50%, stir/rearrange halfway through reheating.
R-798M Operation Manual 23/06/2004 15:19 Page 28 CLEANING & MAINTENANCE OVEN INTERIOR • It is important to clean the interior of your microwave oven after each use. • Food will release steam during cooking and cause condensation inside the oven and door. It is important to wipe the oven dry. A buildup of condensation will eventually lead to rust forming on the oven interior. • To clean the oven interior, use a mild detergent solution, such as washing-up liquid, with warm water on a soft cloth.
R-798M Operation Manual 23/06/2004 15:19 Page 29 TROUBLESHOOTING If you think the oven is not working properly there are some simple checks you can carry out yourself before calling an engineer. This will help prevent unnecessary service calls if the fault is something simple. Follow this simple check below: Place half a cup of water on the turntable and close the door. Programme the oven to cook for 1 minute using 100% microwave power. 1. Does the oven lamp come on when it is cooking? 2.
R-798M Operation Manual 23/06/2004 15:19 Page 30 TROUBLESHOOTING TROUBLESHOOTING CHART QUERY ANSWER Draught circulates around the door. When the oven is working, air circulates within the cavity. The door does not form an airtight seal so air may escape from the door. Condensation forms in the oven, and may drip from the door. The oven cavity will normally be colder than the food being cooked, and so steam produced when cooking will condense on the colder surface.
R-798M Operation Manual 23/06/2004 15:19 Page 31 TO REPLACE THE MAINS PLUG The wires in the mains cable are colour coded as shown: Green and yellow stripes = EARTH Blue = NEUTRAL Brown = LIVE Make sure the terminal screws are tight and the cable is held securely by the cable grip where it enters the plug. Like most appliances in your home, your oven must be connected to a single phase 230-240V, 50Hz alternating current supply.
