Microwave Rules. Microwave (MW) oven

Microwaves are electromagnetic waves ranging in length from one millimeter to one meter, or the equivalent frequency, from 300 MHz (0.3 GHz) to 300 GHz. There is a very wide variety of parameters including: UHF (Ultra High Frequency - Decimeter Waves), Microwave (Ultra High Frequency - Centimeter Waves), EHF (Extremely High Frequency - Millimeter Waves) waves. Different sources use different wavelengths.

The microwave oven is a unique machine, and it may seem very complicated only if you are not familiar with it. This article will tell you how to use it.

Steps

Read the instructions and safety instructions carefully. There are many things you need to know in this little brochure.

Plug in the oven. Do not turn on too many electrical appliances at the same time, otherwise you may simply lose power.

Set the time during which you are going to heat something in the oven.
- If your oven has a dial, turn it clockwise until the correct time appears on the screen.
- If your oven has a numeric keypad, enter the desired number of minutes followed by the desired number of seconds.
- You may need to press "Cook" before the time setting is activated.
Apply your knowledge to specific oven functions.
- Start by baking potatoes in the microwave. If you are baking only one or two potatoes or sweet potatoes, reduce the power so the potatoes don't burn on the outside while they cook on the inside.
- Reheat leftovers on low power.
- Heat the milk coffee on medium power and carefully check when to stop so that the milk retains its properties.
- Cook "S" mores dessert in the oven for a visual demonstration of the power of the microwave oven for cooking whole food at once: marshmallows quickly become extremely large.
- Cook something large (but not huge, leave plenty of room on the sides and stack ingredients loosely, some microwaves may break) on full power. For example, cook at full power a few kilos of mashed potatoes, simply thrown over and covered with plastic wrap, or washed and folded into a plastic bag. (Try cooking fifteen minutes for high speed up to 5 kg of potatoes.)
- Pre-cook veggies in the microwave before frying, so that they are fully cooked on the inside and do not burn on the outside.
- Microwave popcorn in a prepackaged bag or covered bowl with a little oil (look for the recipe). You did not expect such recommendations in the article and that they will work, but it is. Follow the instructions carefully; It is better to stop the microwave cooking process sooner rather than later. It's better to get popcorn that's almost properly cooked than spoiled popcorn. As a rule, this should be done at full power to make the small grains explode rather than slowly hiss, evaporating the moisture. Try lifting the bag of popcorn off the bottom of the oven for extra heat if you end up with a lot of raw and burnt popcorn at the same time.
Explore your microwave
1. Understand how a microwave oven heats food.
  - Microwaves penetrate and generate heat inside wet food. Unlike most other cooking methods, which only heat the surface of the food, whether it be convection, such as hot air (roasting), steam (steaming), oil (roasting) or water (boiling), or non-penetrating radiation, as in skewers. (Essentially, convection is just intense flow to facilitate conduction.)
    - Microwave ovens don't affect food "from the outside", but thin food is essentially cooked all at once and heats thin food deeply while the rest of the food needs to be warmed up well.
    - Unlike boiling and other methods, there is no hot, thick liquid in the oven that will transfer its heat to large portions of food. Don't go overboard with the microwave, even with fairly loose foods like a large stack of potatoes.
  - The oven generally cannot cook well food that does not contain a lot of water, including that which is light and airy.
    - Do not reheat food that does not contain enough water for more than a minute or so, or until the oven has been turned off for a while. Place a cup of water (which will be heated) in the microwave to absorb excess waves. This will help protect the oven from overheating and damage from excess microwaves.
    - In general, don't expect to do well with foods that need to dry out during cooking, such as pastries, unless you use a special oven-friendly recipe, of course.
  - Microwave ovens tend to have a lot of hot and cold spots from standing waves. The moving disc solves this problem by moving food through hot and cold spots. Very thin, flat, hard food cannot quickly conduct heat through it on cold spots. In some microwave ovens, small or thin foods cook best if they are supported off the bottom, such as on a plate that is placed on top of an upside-down bowl.
2. Study how heat flows through food. During microwave cooking, the outer layer, about 2.5 cm or a dish of that thickness, heats up all at once. Heat must pass through the food to cook the rest.
  - In a microwave oven, the heat must also flow in patches from high heat to low heat.
  - Dishes on water based, and the only thing that the oven is able to cook, cannot heat up more than up to 100 degrees Celsius until all the water in the “heating spots” has boiled away. At more intense heating than sufficient temperature to heat the outer layer, the rate of entry of heat flows into the food and the activation of reactions for cooking is not increased (and, perhaps, will be very poorly absorbed) by conduction of heat through the water main part of the food. It just dries the outside faster.
    - You may have come across this principle while cooking a steak. It is necessary to use strong heat - just give the surface, and then fry the meat inside on low heat to the desired level of readiness, preventing the surface from burning.
    - Pressure cookers do not allow water to boil when it is heated to a high temperature and thus also cook very quickly. But they are more or less limited to boiling (or, in the case of a dedicated factory fryer for frying chicken, deep frying).
  - It is sometimes desirable to cook food with even less heat to allow the outer layer of the dish to cook without the need for further additional outer frying. This takes more time, because for a weak thermal regime and flow, the temperature gradation is much less than the heat flow. However, even with longer cooking times, excessive heating of the outside at temperatures close to the boiling point can be tolerated.
    - Consider vacuum cooking. Try experimenting with something like this in the microwave. Start simple - maybe beat an egg into a plastic wrapper... and be very careful with everything raw meat or other potential hazardous products, which require certain temperatures for complete readiness and destruction of all bacteria. (There is a small risk that something new and bad may be found in the food during microwave cooking, because this process is quite fast.)
    - It is very important not to let something containing milk burn, for example, hot chocolate. Don't even let it boil because the milk can curdle.
    - Foods with a high water content, such as thin soups, can also be cooked on a higher setting because they allow heat to pass through them through convection. (Thick pureed soups will not evaporate and will blister and sizzle in places from excess microwaves.)
  - Therefore, lower the power if you are reheating only a few foods, so that hot spots do not overheat while the rest of the dish is cooking. As a general rule, when reheating a dish, turn the appliance on half power, unless, of course, you are heating a huge portion of something liquid or a dish of many components, at least more than 5 cm high. To heat something ready, which can burn, for example, chicken, use the "defrost" mode or set the oven to a quarter of the power.
  - If you have toasted food on the outside before cooking on the inside, just lower the power to the first one - you don't have to increase the cooking time. Remember that too high a temperature does not speed up the cooking process, but simply dries out the dish.
3. Explore side effects other cooking methods and use them as desired.
  - Some cooking methods, such as frying, smoking, or boiling with salt or spices, also add ingredients and thus flavor properties to the food. Microwaving does not involve adding any ingredients, so add whatever spices you like (including "liquid smoke", particles of smoke carefully collected and dissolved in water) before or after cooking. Add sparingly: only a very small proportion of the spices added to the dish actually dissolve in it.
  - Some cooking methods make food moist. Some, such as boiling (thrown into water), add too much moisture and wash out the vitamins. In general, all that is needed to dry food is a little plastic film with a couple of holes to avoid high pressure. But if the dish is on the verge of drying out, you can always add a little water and cover it with a lid.
  - Some cooking methods dry food on the outside. Microwaves release steam and excess moisture, so if a crispy crust is required, the inside of the dish is usually cooked first and then the outside is fried.
- If you cover food while cooking, be sure to leave a small area open for ventilation so you don't get burned by the steam when you remove the lid.
- There may also be "cold spots" left on the back, where the food hasn't warmed up enough to kill the bacteria. Follow instructions for mixing rotation.
- The dish should sit after being removed from the microwave for as long as indicated in the recipe so that the heat continues to spread and dissipate. This is called "infusion time" but it actually lasts longer than the brew time.
- Most ovens have hot spots, and if you are going to eat food directly from the oven, it can overheat and burn in several places.

It will be useful for all future and current users of microwave ovens to learn some of the nuances that help to operate this technique more comfortably.

Tableware

To use microwave ovens, it is not at all necessary to immediately purchase special dishes. At first, it is quite possible to get by with the existing one. Ceramics, porcelain, faience, glass, terracotta and even paper cups are suitable here. It is only important that there are no metal rims or patterns on the dishes (that is, those made with metal-containing paints). After all, such paints can spark, which can cause damage to the furnace.

Some of the materials that have been used to create the cookware may also contain metals.

There is a safe and fairly easy way to check if a particular item is microwave safe:

It is necessary to put the researched object into the furnace.

Then put a glass of water next to it.

Now turn the unit on maximum power for 60 seconds.

After that, we check the results:

food moisture level,

their number,

dish dimensions,

layer thickness,

what temperature the products had when they were placed in the oven chamber.

In addition, when calculating the time, it must be taken into account that sugars and fats help speed up the process, since they warm up more in the microwave than water. Experienced users recommend always setting a little less time - you can always add it.

When you put a vessel with liquid into the oven chamber, keep in mind that at temperatures close to the boiling point, the released air bubbles will linger at the bottom of the vessel for some period (this is the specificity of boiling inside microwave ovens). To prevent the liquid from splashing like milk on the stove, you need to put a glass rod or spoon in it. Just make sure that the stick does not touch the walls of the chamber.

Those foods that have a natural membrane (liver, jacket potatoes, meat, fish, Bell pepper, corn) must be cut or pricked with a fork. You can also cover such products with a special film designed for use in microwave ovens.

Often, liquid comes out of the food during the defrosting process. It is likely that this liquid is not needed to prepare the dish you have planned. In addition, the released liquid will heat up, provoking an uneven defrosting process. Thus, approximately in the middle of the process, this liquid is best drained.

What harms the microwave

There are a number of things to avoid:

Do not turn on the microwave oven when its door is open. Although the majority modern models will not allow this, it is still not the case when it is allowed to experiment.

Do not activate the oven empty. This may result in damage as microwaves, not finding a target, will return back to the emitting device. It is better that at least a glass of water is always in the oven chamber. This will protect against consequences in the event of an erroneous idling. It will also serve as a safety net for very small amounts of food (for example, one sandwich).

Food should not be heated inside sealed containers.

Eggs in shell should not be heated or boiled (with the exception of special egg cookers). Due to the fact that the egg white and yolk heat up at different rates, it is more likely that the eggs will explode.

Do not heat food with alcohol in this unit - a small fire may occur.

Do not use a microwave oven to fry food in oil (deep-frying), as the oil tends to catch fire.

Microwave cleaning

When you use the grill, be sure to place a bowl downstairs into which the escaping fat will drip. Believe me, this is not difficult to do, but it is difficult to wash the oven chamber from fat.

To clean the inner chamber, you need to arrange a steam bath for the stove. To do this, boil water in it for five minutes. As a result, the dirt will be easily washed off with a soft, damp sponge (liquid detergent can be added). Well, in order for the camera to get rid of unpleasant odors, a little lemon juice is added to the water.

As for the quartz grill, it does not need to be cleaned at all - all foreign particles on it simply burn out. But shady grills should be cleaned in the same way as the oven chamber.

When the microwave is washed from the inside, do not immediately turn it on - let it dry thoroughly. And even more so, you have to wait for the grill to dry.

There is a heated debate about the benefits and harms of microwave ovens. Some believe that the microwave should not be used at all, others argue that the oven can only serve a couple of years, and then should go on a well-deserved rest, others cannot live without this necessary equipment. Who is really right? How to properly use a microwave oven and how long can it last?

We extend the service life

Let's start with the fact that if you use the microwave in accordance with all the rules, then it can last 5 years or more without harm to the health of its owners. A serviceable oven does not spark, closes tightly, has no foreign odors, and is fairly quiet. If you notice any problems, immediately unplug the microwave and take it in for repair. Breakdowns can lead to health problems.

Important: in order to prolong the service life, it is necessary to properly care for the microwave oven, use only suitable utensils and cook food following the recommendations of the manufacturers.

Let's start with what not to do if you want the microwave to last for many years:

turn on an empty oven;
load less than 50 g of products;
put metal utensils inside;
long time to cook food (there is a risk of fire);
strongly rub the mica plate, which is located on the side wall inside the microwave;
use the oven in case of visible damage (glass is broken, the door comes off, etc.);
boil or heat eggs;
heat food in tightly closed jars and containers.

Understand what can't be done. Now it remains to understand what can and should be done.

Choosing dishes for the microwave

It is advisable to use only special dishes for the microwave oven, which has the following inscriptions:

microware oven safe
microware oven;
suitable for microware.

All of them indicate that this dish is guaranteed to be put in the microwave. If you have dishes or containers that you are not sure are safe, do the following test. Pour water into a glass and put it in the oven. Place an empty test dish nearby, and turn on the appliance at full power. If after a minute the “experimental” object does not heat up, you can safely use it.

Important: try to buy only round dishes, as much more heat usually accumulates in the corners, which can cause the dish to burn.

How to care

First of all, the microwave must be kept clean. To do this, you can use a special plastic cap during cooking and heating food - so the walls will remain intact. Also, every day it is necessary to wipe the oven inside and out with a damp cloth without aggressive substances.

If the microwave oven cabinet is too dirty, it can be cleaned in just a few minutes. To do this, pour water with lemon into a large plate and put it inside. Turn on the oven for 3-6 minutes. Once the fat is soaked, it will be very easy to get rid of it. There are a few more.

How to cook

When cooking, keep in mind that the food inside is heated unevenly, and therefore some parts may remain raw. If these are vegetables or fruits, then there will be no particular harm, but if meat or fish is not baked, then bacteria will remain that can be harmful to health. To prevent this from happening, it is advisable to cut them into small pieces (up to 5 sq. cm).

Important: Please note that soft, porous foods heat up faster than hard ones, so they take less time to cook.

If you want to reheat baby food or formula in the microwave, be sure to stir it after you take it out of the oven: some pieces may be hot while others won't reheat at all. True, most pediatricians still advise not to use a microwave oven for children's products.

Juicy fruits and vegetables with thick skins should be pierced with a fork before cooking. It is also worth doing with sausages, if you do not want them to "explode". But the eggs should not be put inside in any form - even without the shell, otherwise you will have to wash the oven ahead of time. As for the rest of the dishes, it is advisable to stir them several times during heating or cooking in order to evenly distribute the heat.

That's all the "tricks" associated with the operation of the microwave oven. Compliance with all these recommendations will help you extend its life by several years. And remember: you can only use a working microwave!

PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY
Failure to observe the following precautions may result in harmful effects of microwave energy on your body:
a). Under no circumstances should you try to use the oven with the door open, damage the interlock contacts (door latches) or insert anything into the interlock holes.

b). Do not insert any object between the oven door and the front panel and do not allow food residues or detergent residues to accumulate on the sealing surfaces, keep the door and its sealing surfaces clean by wiping them after using the oven first with a damp cloth and then with a soft dry cloth.

c). Do not use a malfunctioning oven until it has been repaired by a qualified microwave technician trained by the manufacturer.
We pay your Special attention to ensure that the oven door closes securely and is not damaged:
1) . Door, door seals and sealing surfaces
2) . Door hinges (broken or loose)
3). Power cord

d). The oven should not be adjusted or repaired by anyone other than a qualified microwave technician trained by the oven manufacturer.

Precautionary measures

Important Instructions on security.
Please read carefully and keep for future reference.
Before you start cooking food or heating liquids in your microwave oven, make sure the following precautions are taken.

1.DO NOT USE no metal utensils in the microwave:
metal vessels
Dinnerware with gold or silver trim
Skewers, forks and so on.
Cause: Electric arcing or sparking may occur and damage the oven.

2. NOT heat up:
Bottles, jars, vessels in sealed or vacuum packaging.
For example: Baby food in jars
Products with an airtight skin or shell
For example: Eggs, nuts in shell, tomatoes.
Cause: An increase in pressure can cause them to explode.
Advice: Remove lids and pierce skins, bags, etc.

3. DO NOT POWER ON microwave oven when it is empty.
Cause: The oven walls may be damaged.
Advice: Always keep a glass of water in the oven. The water will absorb the microwaves if you accidentally turn on the oven,
when it's empty.

4. NOT cover the rear vents with cloth or paper.
Cause: Cloth or paper may catch fire if it comes into contact with the hot air escaping from the oven.

5. ALWAYS use thick gloves when taking the dishes out of the oven.
Cause: Some cookware absorbs microwaves and heat is always transferred from the food to the cookware. Consequently,
dishes may be hot.

6. NOT touch the heating elements or the inner walls of the oven.
Cause: The walls can be hot enough to cause a burn even after the process is over.
cooking, although according to them appearance it may not be noticeable. Do not let
flammable materials come into contact with any interior surfaces of the oven.
Let the oven cool down first.

7. To reduce the risk of fire in the oven chamber:
Do not store flammable materials inside the oven
Remove twisted wire ties from paper or plastic bags
Do not use your microwave oven to dry newspapers.
If you notice smoke, turn off the oven or unplug it from the wall outlet without opening the oven door.

8. Be especially careful when reheating liquids and baby food.
ALWAYS observe a standing time of at least 20 seconds after turning off the oven to allow it to level out
temperature throughout.
Stir food as needed when heating and ALWAYS after heating.
Handle the vessel carefully after heating. If the vessel is too hot, you may burn yourself.
There is a danger of belated effervescence of the liquid.
To prevent belated effervescence and possible burns, you should put
plastic spoon or glass rod and stir before, during and after heating.
Cause:Microwave heating of liquids may cause the liquid to overheat above the
boiling with a delay in its boiling; this means that a sudden violent effervescence of a liquid can happen
after before you take the vessel out of the oven. As a result, you may get burned.
For burns, follow these FIRST AID instructions:
* Immerse the burnt area in cold water for at least 10 minutes.
* Apply a clean, dry bandage to the burned area.
* Do not lubricate burned skin with any creams, oils or lotions.
NEVER do not fill the vessel to the brim and choose a vessel that is wider at the top than at the bottom for
prevent liquid from splashing out when boiling. Bottles with narrow necks can also
explode when overheated.
ALWAYS Check the temperature of baby food or milk before giving it to your baby.
NEVERDo not heat a baby bottle with a nipple attached, as the bottle may explode if
overheating.

9. Be careful not to damage the power cord.
Do not allow water to come into contact with the power cord or plug, and keep the power cord away from
heated surfaces.
Never use the microwave oven if the power cord or plug is damaged.

10. Stand at arm's length from the oven when opening the door.
Cause: Escaping hot air or steam can cause burns.

11. Keep the interior of the oven clean.
Cause:Food particles or splattered grease stuck to the walls or base of the oven can
cause damage to the coating and reduce the efficiency of the oven.

12. During operation of the microwave oven (especially in the defrost mode), sounds such as
"clicks".
Cause:You may hear this sound when the power output changes automatically. It's normal
phenomenon.

13. When the microwave oven is operating without any load, there will be
its power is turned off automatically. 30 minutes later, you will be able to
use the oven.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

If food is reheated or cooked in disposable containers made of plastic, paper, or other flammable materials, you should look into the oven from time to time during cooking.

IMPORTANT
NEVER do not allow small children to use or play with the microwave oven. Do not leave them unattended near the microwave oven while it is in use. Do not store or hide items of interest to children directly above the oven.

WARNING
If the door or door seals are damaged, the oven must not be used until it has been repaired by a specialist.

WARNING
It is dangerous for non-professionals to carry out maintenance or repairs that involve removing the cover that protects against exposure to microwave energy.

WARNING
Liquids and other food must not be heated in tightly sealed containers as they may explode.

WARNING
Children may use the oven without adult supervision only if they have received appropriate instructions so that the child knows how to use the oven safely and understands the dangers of misuse.

Microwave installation

Place the oven on a flat, level surface strong enough to support the weight of the oven.

1. For proper ventilation, ensure a gap between the oven and other objects when installing the oven.
size not less than 10 cm for the rear and side walls of the oven and 20 cm for the top cover of the oven.

2. Remove all packaging materials from the oven. Install the roller coaster and turntable.
Check whether the tray rotates freely.

3. This microwave oven must be positioned so that the mains plug is easily accessible.

Never do not block the air outlets, as the oven may overheat and switch itself off automatically. It will remain idle until it cools down sufficiently.

For your safety, plug the power cord into a 3-pin grounded AC 230 V, 50 Hz outlet. If the power cord of this product is damaged, it must be replaced with a special cord (l-SHENG SP022, KDK KKP4819D, EUROELECTRIC 3410, SAMIL SP-106B, MOONSUNG EP-48E, HIGH PROJECT H.R3). Contact your local SAMSUNG dealer to replace the cord. Israel must use the PENCON(ZD16A) power cord, South Africa the APEX LEADS SA16, and Nigeria, Ghana, Kenya and the United Arab Emirates the PENCON(UD13A1).

Notplace the microwave oven in a hot or damp place, such as near a conventional cooker or a heating radiator. The power consumption of the oven must be taken into account and any extension cord used must meet the same standard as the power cord supplied with the oven. Before using your microwave oven for the first time, wipe the interior surfaces and door seal with a damp cloth.

How does a microwave oven work

The principle of cooking

1. The microwaves generated by the magnetron are evenly distributed in the food due to the fact that it
revolves on tray. Due to this, food is cooked evenly.

2. Microwaves are absorbed by food to a depth of approximately 1 inch (2.5 cm). Cooking then
continues by dissipating heat within the food.
3. Cooking times may vary depending on the utensils used and the properties of the food:
Quantities and densities
Water content
Starting temperature (whether the food was in the refrigerator or not)

Since the food is cooked in the middle by heat dissipation, the food continues even after
how did you take it out of the oven. Therefore, it is necessary to observe the "holding time" of food indicated in the recipes.
and in this instructions to ensure:
Even cooking right to the center
The same temperature throughout the food

How to check dishes

If you are not sure if a particular vessel is suitable for use in a microwave oven, you can check it in the following way:

1. Fill the measuring cup with water and place it in the oven next to the vessel you want to test.

2. Click the button +1 minute once to heat the vessel for one minute at a high power level.
The water should become warm, and the vessel under test should remain cool. If the vessel becomes warm, then
he absorbs microwave energy and is not suitable for use in a microwave oven.

Cooking technique

Stirring
Roasted foods and vegetables should be stirred during cooking to distribute the heat more evenly. Food at the edges of the dish absorbs more energy and heats up faster, so move it closer to the center as you stir. When you open the door to stir food, the oven turns off. To resume the cooking process, press START.

Food location
Products different shapes and size, such as chicken or chops, arrange so that the thicker, meatier pieces are on the outside of the turntable, where they will absorb more microwave energy. Place thin pieces closer to the center of the turntable to avoid burning.

covering
To prevent burning, cover food with narrow strips of aluminum foil. Cover the ends of the wings of a bird, the ends of the legs of a bird, the corners of square roasting dishes. Use a small amount of foil. Too much foil can ruin your oven.

flipping
Turn food halfway through the cooking process so that all parts receive microwave energy. This is especially important for large portions of food, such as roasts.

Excerpt
When cooking in a microwave oven, food accumulates internal warmth so that the cooking process continues for several minutes after the oven is switched off. Let the food stand to finish cooking, especially if you are cooking roasts or whole vegetables. For roasts, this time is necessary so that the middle is well fried, and the edges are not burnt. Liquid foods such as soup or hot chocolate should be shaken or stirred after cooking. Let the liquid sit for a bit before serving. When reheating baby food, stir the food well and check the temperature before giving it to the baby.

Adding liquid
Water molecules attract microwave energy. Foods with uneven moisture content should be covered or left to stand to distribute heat evenly. For drier foods, add a small amount of water.

General recommendations
High density foods such as potatoes take longer to heat up than lighter foods.
Products with delicate structure should be heated at a low power level so that they do not become hard.
The cooking time depends on the height and type of cookware used. When preparing a new dish, set
minimum cooking time and check the food periodically to prevent overcooking.
Foods with non-porous skins, such as potatoes or hot dogs, must be pierced to keep them from
burst.
It is not recommended to fry food in oil or fat. When using fat and oil,
stormy effervescence that can cause severe burns.
Some ingredients heat up faster than others. For example, the jelly inside a donut will be hotter than
myself donut. Keep this in mind to avoid possible burns.
Microwave home canning is not recommended as not all
harmful bacteria can be destroyed by heating with microwaves.
Although microwaves do not cause the dishes to heat up, the heat from the food is often transferred to the dishes. Taking food out of
microwave, always use oven mitts, and teach your children to do the same.
It is not recommended to cook sweet foods in the microwave as they can get very hot.
high temperature. Keep this in mind to avoid possible injury.

Cooking foodin automatictouch mode

Automatic sensor cooking function ( Auto Sensor) allows you to cook food automatically by detecting the amount of moisture released by the food during cooking.
During cooking, many types of moisture are produced. Auto Sensor function determines the right time
and power level by detecting the moisture released by the food, thus eliminating
need setting the cooking time and power level.
If the vessel is covered with a lid or plastic film while cooking in touch mode,
function The Auto Sensor detects the moisture released after the vessel has been saturated with steam.
Shortly before the end of cooking, the countdown of the remaining time starts. In this moment
it is advisable to rotate or stir the food for more even cooking, if necessary.
Before cooking in automatic sensor mode, it can be seasoned with herbs, spices
or sauces. Be aware that salt or sugar can cause food to burn in some places, so
these ingredients should be added at the end of cooking.
Use the buttons to increase or decrease the cooking time. More less(1=Less,
9=More). You can use this function to adjust the degree of doneness of food.
to your liking.

Cooking and serving accessories when using touch mode

For efficient cooking using this function, follow the instructions for selecting
appropriate vessels and covering accessories listed in this brochure.
Always use microwave safe containers and cover with appropriate lids
or plastic film. Using plastic film unscrew one corner to let steam out.
Always use the lid designed for the appropriate vessel. If the vessel does not have a lid,
use plastic film.
Fill vessels at least half full.
If the food needs to be stirred or turned, this should be done towards the end of the time.

Correctly plug the power cord into a grounded socket.
If the outlet is turned on with a wall switch, make sure the switch is in the
on position.
Unplug the power cord from the socket, wait 10 seconds and plug it in again.
Plug in another household appliance; if the appliance does not work, call an electrician to repair the outlet.
Plug the oven into a different outlet.

The display works but the oven does not turn on.
Make sure the door is tightly closed.
Check if packing material or other material is stuck in the door seal.
Check if the door is damaged.
Double click the button Cancel and re-enter the required cooking parameters.

The oven switches off before the set time has elapsed
If there was no power outage, unplug the power cord from the socket, wait 10 seconds and
insert again. If electricityturned off, " " will appear on the display. Reinstall
current time and set the desired cooking parameters.
Switch the circuit breaker back on or replace the blown fuse.

Food is cooking too slowly
Make sure the oven is connected to its own 20A power circuit. Connecting another
instrument to the same circuit can cause a voltage drop. If necessary, reposition the oven to
use separate power circuit.

There is sparking in the furnace (electric arc)
Make sure there are no metal objects, utensils or bag strings in the oven. When using foil
use only narrow strips and make sure that the distance between the foil and the inner
walls the oven was at least 2.5 cm.

When operating microwave ovens, there are a number of unspoken "golden" rules that every owner needs to know in order to extend the life of the equipment and avoid repairs. These rules of correct operation will help protect the user from unforeseen accidents.

1. Microwave ovens in different versions are equipped with various useful and not very functions. One of these is the electronic cookbook. This is not an ordinary collection of recipes, but functionality that even a child can work with. The oven is interactive in the interactive mode, highlighting the questions on the display. The user responds to them by pressing one of the two buttons to help the oven guess the desired processing mode.

2. How to work with microwave power? Power gradation is set for different modes of product processing:
80-150 W - sufficient microwave power to keep the finished dish hot;
160-300 W - the required power for defrosting the processing of "delicate" products (semi-finished products);
400-500 W - sufficient power for accelerated defrosting of products in a small volume;
560-700 W - slow cooking of "delicate" products of delicate texture;
800-900 W - accelerated heating and fast cooking

Often, when using microwave recipes from collections, the required processing power is indicated, which is not suitable for your oven in range. In this case, you can change the cooking time according to your working power. The calculation is done in this way: the time T1 for preparing a recipe from the collection is multiplied by the power M1 and divided by the working power M2 of your oven - you get the processing time of the recipe in your oven T2.

3. How to choose processing mode? Usually, the cooking time for many products in a saucepan is determined by the moment of boiling. According to this principle, some microwave oven models equipped with a steam signal system have been created. If in the oven in a simple version the cooking mode is often set "by eye" - depending on the weight of the cooked, then in modifications with a steam sensor, it is possible to set the time to bring the dish to readiness with a higher probability. To do this, just start the microwave by indicating the type of product and weight on the control panel, and after the steam sensor signal (that the food is allegedly “boiled”), the smart microwave will determine the cooking time and inform you about it through the display. There are models equipped with the function of determining the weight of the product inserted into the chamber - in such ovens it is not necessary to indicate the weight on the control panel. There are also stoves with forced 5-minute ventilation from odors - "steam release".

4. What and in what to cook in the microwave? Often microwaves are equipped with grills and a rotating plate, but this is not enough for cooking. The range of dishes that can be used in a microwave oven is wider than it seems at first glance: these are heat-resistant plastics, glass and ceramics that do not contain metal. It is possible to heat up food at low temperatures and for a short time even in ordinary disposable plastic or paper dishes. But to cook - you need more reliable dishes. One simple test will help determine the reliability of microwave dishes: pour water into the container to be tested and set it to warm up: if the water in the glass is heated, and the dishes to be tested remain cold, then the dishes are suitable and safe, but if the dishes are warmed up in comparison with water, this container is not good, it absorbs microwaves.

Many models are equipped with gratings, due to which several plates can be installed in the chamber at the same time, thereby speeding up the processing twice in one session. The use of the Krusty plate oven accessory made of metal with a high heat absorption coefficient replaces the frying pan for frying food in oil. It is unacceptable to use oil when frying in a microwave oven, as it can ignite when heated. If a microwave grill is used, place a plate of acceptable material underneath to catch dripping fat.

The use of metal utensils in a microwave oven is strictly contraindicated due to the accumulation of electric current and vacuum in the working chamber by metal parts, which destroy the oven from the inside. For the same reason, ceramic dishes with shiny metal ornaments applied to them should not be used.

Dishes brought into the interior of the chamber should not be tightly and hermetically clogged. The same applies to products containing the shell - eggs in the shell, whole peppers, tomatoes, jacket potatoes, popcorn, liver and liver. To cook dishes from them, it is better to cut or pierce them in several places to avoid cod and micro-explosion with splashing. And for cooking meat and fish, in order to avoid splashing of fat, you should cut the skin in several places. The industry produces a special film or covers for microwave ovens, which prevents unnecessary contamination of the chamber.

5. How is microwave heating done? In a microwave oven, the main heating "element" is microwaves, which are generated by the magnetron electromagnetic vacuum apparatus. But in the modernized microwave ovens of the new generation, instead of the magnetron (which was considered the "weak link" of the design), an inverter is used (it was first used in microwave ovens by the Panasonic brand) - a smaller device that uses electricity more rationally, speeds up the processing time of products and contributes to frying products to golden brown. Through waveguides - holes in the oven chamber - microwaves reach the products, inside which they are converted into heat, acting on water molecules. Coming into intense vibration, water molecules are ionized and lead to Brownian motion solid particles that do mechanical work - friction, which is converted into thermal energy: heating occurs inside the product volume. Therefore, it is very important that microwave radiation is not obstructed - clogged dishes, metal dishes that damage the chamber from the inside and accumulate a charge, or dishes that absorb radiation. It is equally important to observe the tightness of the oven itself in order to avoid scattering of short waves - that is, do not turn on the oven with the door open. The metal body of the oven and the door do not allow waves to pass through, but if the seals sealing the door are dirty and damaged, there is a risk of wave leakage.

6. Everything has limits. You can not turn on the microwave oven not only with the door open, but also at idle - without placing products weighing less than 200 grams in the chamber, as well as overloading with excessive weight. Weight rates are indicated in the instructions for each individual oven model. In order to avoid overloading the oven during idle operation (when working with products with extremely low weight), it is recommended to additionally install a container with 100 milliliters of water - this way the radiation will be purposefully implemented and will not affect the materials of the oven chamber. If you make it a rule to keep a container of water inside the chamber, you can extend the life of the microwave when you accidentally press the "start" button on the machine with an empty chamber. And boiling a glass of water allows you to soften the dirt formed on the surface and remove them without the use of aggressive and abrasive detergents.
