1. Lc MICROWAVE GRILL OVEN INSTRUCTION MANUAL Please read this instruction manual thoroughly before operating MH 6047G MH 6048S MH 6048SS MH 6047C Precautions Precautions to avoid possible exposure to excessive microwave energy You cannot operate your oven with the door open due to the safety interlocks built into the door mechanism These safety interlocks automatically switch off any cooking activity when the door is opened which in the case of a microwave oven could result in harmful exposure to microwave energy 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 Your oven should not be adjusted or repaired by anyone except qualified service personnel Warning Please ensure cooking times are correctly set as over cooking may result in the FOOD catching fire and subsequent damage to your oven When heating liquids e g soups sauces and beverages in your microwave oven delayed eruptive boiling can occur without evidence of bubbling This could result in a sudden boil over of the hot liquid To prevent this possibility the follo2. foil is secured to the dish or it may cause arcing in the oven Elevating Thick or dense foods can be elevated so that microwaves can be absorbed by the underside and centre of the foods Piercing Foods enclosed in a shell skin or membrane are likely to burst in the oven unless they are pierced prior to cooking Such foods include yolks and whites of eggs clams and oysters and whole vegetables and fruits Testing if cooked Food cooks so quickly in a microwave oven it is necessary to test it frequently Some foods are left in the microwave until completely cooked but most foods including meats and poultry are removed from the oven while still slightly undercooked and allowed to finish cooking during standing time The internal temperature of foods will rise between 50F 30C and 150F 80C during standing time Standing time Foods are often allowed to stand for 3 to 10 minutes after being removed from the microwave oven Usually the foods are covered during standing time to retain heat unless they are supposed to be dry in texture some cakes and biscuits for example Standing allows foods to finish cooking and also helps flavour blend and develop 25 Food characteristics amp Microwave cooking To Clean Your Oven 1 Keep the inside of the oven clean Food spatters or spilled liquids stick to oven walls and between seal and door surface It is best to wipe up spillovers with a damp cloth right away Crumbs and spillovers w
