[. . . ] It is important not to tamper with the safety interlocks. Do not place any object between the oven front face and the door or allow food or cleaner residue to accumulate on sealing surfaces. Do not operate your oven if it is damaged. It is particularly important that the oven door closes properly and that there is no damage to the: (1) door(bent), (2) hinges and latches (broken or loosened), (3) door seals and sealing surfaces. [. . . ] In conventional cooking, food is stirred for the purpose of blending. Microwaved food, however, is stirred in order to spread and redistribute heat. Always stir from the outside towards the centre as the outside of the food heats first. Large, tall foods such as roasts and whole chickens should be turned so that the top and bottom will cook evenly. It is also a good idea to turn cut up chicken and chops. Since microwaves are attracted to the outside portion of food, it makes sense to place thicker portions of meat, poultry and fish to the outer edge of the baking dish. This way, thicker portions will receive the most microwave energy and the food will cook evenly. Strips of aluminium foil (which block microwaves) can be placed over the corners or edges of square and rectangular foods to prevent those portions from overcooking. Never use too much foil and make sure the foil is secured to the dish or it may cause `arcing' in the oven. Thick or dense foods can be elevated so that microwaves can be absorbed by the underside and centre of the foods. Foods enclosed in a shell, skin or membrane are likely to burst in the oven unless they are pierced prior to cooking. The holes, or ports, are made to allow light to pass; they do not let microwave energy through. Q Why does the beep tone sound when a pad on the Control Panel is touched?A The beep tone sounds to assure that the setting is being properly entered. Q Will the microwave oven be damaged if it operates empty?A Yes Never run it empty or without the glass tray. A When baking, frying, or poaching eggs, the yolk may pop due to steam build up inside the yolk membrane. To prevent this, simply pierce the yolk before cooking. Q Why is standing time recommended after microwave cooking is over?A After microwave cooking is finished, food keeps on cooking during standing time. This standing time finishes cooking evenly throughout the food. The amount of standing time depends on the density of the food. [. . . ] V Waarom is het aan te bevelen dat men voedsel na het koken in de magnetron nog even laat staan?A Wanneer u voedsel nadat het in de magnetron is gekookt nog even laat staan, blijft het doorkoken. Deze standtijd zorgt ervoor dat het voedsel gelijkmatig wordt gekookt. De duur van de standtijd varieert naar gelang van de dichtheid van het voedsel. [. . . ]
