Tips for Microwave Cooking
Tips for microwave cooking
Food temperature The lower the food temperature is, the longer the cooking time will cost. The frozen food
generally costs longer time than the common food.
Food humidity Humid food absorbs more microwave energy. Thus the higher the food humidity is, the
shorter the cooking time costs.
Food shape The microwave can only pass through the food for 2-4cm under surface. Therefore the
thickness of the food will influence the heating time.
Food density Different density requires different heating time. Food with high density will cost longer
cooking time.
Food quantity The microwave energy is fixed and will not change with the quantity of food. Therefore large
quantity of food will cost long cooking time.
Bones and fat Bones can transfer heat faster than common food. Fat can absorb more microwave energy.
Therefore please pay attention to overheating on certain part when you cook meat with bones
and fat.
Cover It will reduce losses of heat and vapor by putting the food into container with cover, and thus
will shorten the cooking time.
Placement Place the food in circular shape and avoid piling up. It can improve the evenness during
cooking.
Stirring In heating liquid food like soup, juice or beverage, please stir the liquid both before and
halfway during heating. It can effectively prevent the liquid from boiling and splashing.
Sealing Sealing the food with preservative film can prevent the liquid from splashing and soiling the
cavity. It can also keep the moisture and nutrition of the food.
Standing After cooking is finished, the food taken out of the oven is still being heated inside.
Considering of the flavor and cooking degree, you can give it some standing time.
Maintenance gRepair
Maintenance: Periodical maintenance and cleaning can guarantee the normal operation of microwave oven.
Use soft cloth and neutral soapy water to clean the cabinet,
and wipe it with soft dry cloth.
Use humid cloth to clear the food scrap on the door, door
seal and inside the cavity. Use wet cloth and soapy water t
o clear the greasy stain.
Keep the inner side of the door clean. Remove any food
residue as it may cause igniting, smell or rusty spot inside
the cavity, and corrode the axis of rotation.
Please take it out and wash with soapy water at lease once a
week to prevent the grease from corroding the axis of rotation.
If the power supply cable is damaged or faulty, make sure to
have it replaced by the professional maintenance personnel of the manufacturer or after-sale services department.
Remarks: If the microwave oven is idle for a long time, please clean the water stain and greasy stain that may remain on each part of the
oven, and place it in dry environment with good ventilation to avoid rusting.
Warning If the microwave oven has abnormal operation or is damaged, DO NOT use it
any more before it is repaired by professional maintenance technicians
