Microwave Cooking Principles; Utensils Guide - Grunkel MWG-25DXT Manual De Instrucciones

MICROWAVE COOKING PRINCIPLES

1. Arrange food carefully. Place thickest areas towards outside of dish.
2. Watch cooking time. Cook for the shortest amount of time indicated and add
more as needed. Food severely overcooked can smoke or ignite.
3. Cover foods while cooking. Covers prevent spattering and help foods to cook
evenly.
4. Turn foods over once during microwaving to speed cooking of such foods as
chicken and hamburgers. Large items like roasts must be turned over at least once.
5. Rearrange foods such as meatballs halfway through cooking both from top to
bottom and from the center of the dish to the outside.
BEFORE YOU CALL FOR SERVICE
If the oven fails to operate:
1. Check to ensure that the oven is plugged in securely. If it is not, remove the
plug from the outlet, wait 10 seconds, and plug it in again securely.
2. Check for a blown circuit fuse or a tripped main circuit breaker. If these seem to
be operating properly, test the outlet with another appliance.
3. Check to ensure that the control panel is programmed correctly and the timer is
set.
4. Check to ensure that the door is securely closed engaging the door safety lock
system. Otherwise, the microwave energy will not flow into the oven.
IF NONE OF THE ABOVE RECTIFIES THE SITUATION, THEN CONTACT A
QUALIFIED TECHNICIAN. DO NOT TRY TO ADJUST OR REPAIR THE OVEN
YOURSELF.

UTENSILS GUIDE

1. The ideal material for a microwave utensil is transparent to microwave, it allows
energy to pass through the container and heat the food.
2. Microwave can not penetrate metal, so metal utensils or dishes with metallic
trim should not be used.
3. Do not use recycled paper products when microwave cooking, as they may
contain small metal fragments which may cause sparks and/or fires.
4. Round /oval dishes rather than square/oblong ones are recommend, as food in
corners tends to overcook.
5. Narrow strips of aluminum foil may be used to prevent overcooking of exposed
areas. But be careful don't use too much and keep a distance of 1 inch (2.54cm)
between foil and cavity.
The list below is a general guide to help you select the correct utensils.
