Shielding Shield food with narrow strips of aluminum foil to prevent overcooking. Areas that need shielding include poultry wing-tips, the ends of poultry legs, and corners of square baking dishes. Use only small amounts of aluminum foil. Larger amounts can damage your oven. Turning Turn foods over midway through cooking to expose all parts to microwave energy. Standing Foods cooked in the microwave build up internal heat and continue to cook for a few minutes after the oven stops. Let foods stand to complete cooking, especially foods such as roasts and whole vegetables. Roasts need this time to complete cooking in the center without overcooking the outer areas. All liquids, such as soup or hot chocolate, should be shaken or stirred when cooking is complete. Let liquids stand a moment before serving. When heating baby food, stir well and test the temperature before serving. 10 Cooking Instruction Adding Moisture Microwave energy is attracted to water molecules. Food that is uneven in moisture content should be covered or allowed to stand so that the heat disperses evenly. Add a small amount of water to dry food to help it cook. General Tips • Dense foods, such as potatoes, take longer to heat than lighter foods. Foods with a delicate texture should be heated at a low power level to avoid becoming tough. • Altitude and the type of cookware you are using can affect cooking time. When using a new recipe, use the minimum cooking time and check the food occasionally to prevent overcooking. • Foods with a non-porous skin or shell, such as potatoes, eggs, or hot dogs, should be pierced to prevent bursting. • Frying with heating oil or fat is not recommended. Fat and oil can suddenly boil over and cause severe burns. • Some ingredients heat faster than others.For example, the jelly inside a jelly doughnut will be hotter than the dough. Keep this in mind to avoid burns. • Home canning in the microwave oven is not recommended because all harmful bacteria may not be destroyed by the microwave heating process. • Although microwaves do not heat the cookware, the heat is often transferred to the cookware. Always use pot holders when removing food from the microwave and instruct children to do the same. Appendix Troubleshooting Guide Before you call a repair person for your oven, check this list of possible problems and solutions. The oven does not work properly. • Check the battery voltage. The operating voltage for the oven should be greater than 21.5V or less than 30.2V. • Make sure that the door is closed securely. • Make sure that the heating time was properly set. • Make sure that the Start( ) + 30 s button is pressed. If door is open, close the door and press the Start( ) +30 s button again. • Check if the safety fuse is installed to the positive cable( near battery) . • Check if the connection cable terminals are properly connected to the oven. • Improper use of the microwave stops oven operation. The Display shows Error Codes (page 9) Food heats too slowly. • Check if the container is microwavable. • Do not put too much food in the oven at one time. • Check if the heating time was too short. • Check if the battery voltage is too low. You see sparks or arcing. • Remove any metallic utensils, cookware, or metal ties. If using foil, use only narrow strips and allow at least one inch between the foil and interior oven walls. The turntable makes noises or sticks. • Clean the turntable, roller ring and oven floor. • Make sure the turntable and roller ring are positioned correctly. Care and Cleaning Follow these instructions to clean and care for your oven. • Keep the inside of the oven clean. Food particles and spilled liquids can stick to the oven walls, causing the oven to work less efficiently. • Wipe up spills immediately. Use a damp cloth and mild soap. Do not use harsh detergents or abrasives. • To help loosen baked on food particles or liquids, heat two cups of water (add the juice of one lemon if you desire to keep the oven fresh) in a four- cup measuring glass at High power for five minutes or until boiling. Let stand in the oven for one or two minutes. EN 11 12 EN Appendix(continued) • Remove the glass tray from the oven when cleaning the oven or tray. To prevent the tray from breaking, handle it carefully and do not put it in water immediately after cooking. Wash the tray carefully in warm sudsy water or in the dishwasher. • Clean the outside surface of the oven with soap and a damp cloth. Dry with a soft cloth. To prevent damage to the operating parts of the oven, don’t let water seep into the openings. • Wash the door window with very mild soap and water. Be sure to use a soft cloth to avoid scratching. • If steam accumulates inside or outside the oven door, wipe with a soft cloth. Steam can accumulate when operating the oven in high humidity and in no way indicates microwave leakage. • Never operate the oven without food in it; this can damage the magnetron tube or glass tray.
