[. . . ] 1. 0 cu. ft Microwave Oven Convection MCC1010T Instruction Manual and Cooking Guide So Right at Home. Before operating this oven, please read these instructions completely. PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY (a) Do not attempt to operate this oven with the door open since open-door operation can result in harmful exposure to microwave energy. It is important not to defeat or tamper with the safety interlocks. (b) Do not place any object between the oven front face and the door or allow soil or cleaner residue to accumulate on sealing surfaces. (c) Do not operate the oven if it is damaged. [. . . ] The oven will be " : 30" is displayed. No need to press START/SPEEDY COOK button. The oven light comes on and the turn table starts rotating and the time in the display will count down in seconds. STOP/CLEAR START / SPEEDY COOK TO STOP THE OVEN WHILE THE OVEN IS OPERATING 1. · You can restart the oven by closing the door and touching START/SPEEDY COOK button. · If you wish to cancel the cooking settings, press the STOP/CLEAR button again. ABNORMAL MESSAGE · If the inside temperature of the oven is higher than expected or the temperature sensor doesn't work properly, "Err 2" message will be shown in the display. · Unplug the power and call our technical service. v · When the temperature sensor is disconnected, "Err 3" message will be shown in the display. · Unplug the power and call our technical service. 19 GENERAL GUIDE LINES Since microwave cooking to some extent is different from traditional cooking, the following general guidelines should be considered whenever you use your microwave oven If the food is undercooked Check if: · You have selected the correct power level. · The selected time is sufficient-the times given in the recipes are approximate. They depend on initial temperature, weight and density of the food etc. dried out or burnt Before you cook again, consider whether: · The power level was too high. · The set time was too long-the times in the recipes are approximate. They depend on initial temperature, weight and density of the food etc. Points to remember when defrosting · The shape of the package alters the defrosting time. Shallow rectangular packets defrost more quickly than a deep block. Separate pieces as they begin to defrost; free flow slices defrost more easily. · Shield areas of food with small pieces of foil if they start to become warm. · When defrosting, it is better to under thaw the food slightly and allow the process to finish during the standing time. The amount of food The more food you want to prepare the longer it takes. A rule of thumb is that double amount of food requires almost double the time. If one potato takes four minutes to cook, approximately seven minutes are required to cook two potatoes. Starting temperature of food The lower the temperature of the food which is being put into the microwave oven, the longer time it takes. Food at room temperature will be reheated more quickly than food at refrigerator temperature. [. . . ] Many foods build up enough internal heat to allow the cooking process to continue, even after the food is removed from the oven. Standing time for joints of meat, large vegetables and cakes allows the inside to cook completely, without overcooking the outside. * Q : What does "standing time" mean?* A : "Standing time" means that food should be removed from the oven and covered for additional time to allow it to finish cooking. This frees the oven for other cooking. * Q : Why does my oven not always cook as fast as the microwave cooking guide says? [. . . ]
