OPERATION PROCEDURE This section includes useful information about oven operation. To set GRILL Cooking 1. Plug power supply cord into 230V~ 50Hz power outlet. • Set the POWER SELECTOR to the (grill) position. 2. After placing the food in a suitable container, open the oven door and put it on the glass tray. The glass tray and roller guide must always be in place during cooking. To set COMBI Cooking 3. Close the door. Make sure that it is firmly closed. • Set the POWER SELECTOR to the (combi) position. The oven door can be opened at any time during operation by pushing the door open button on the control panel. The oven will automatically shut off. 5. Set the operating time by turning the timer knob to the desired cook time and the microwave cooking starts. 4. Set the variable power control knob to the desired power level. • If setting the timer control for less than 2 minutes, turn it past 2 minutes and then back to the desired time. SYMBOL POWER LEVEL OUTPUT POWER 6. Microwave energy will be turned off automatically when the timer knob reaches “OFF”. Then food can be taken out of the oven. Grill 1000W • To prevent the oven from operating with the door open, your microwave oven is fitted with safety door interlock switches. Warm 228W • If you wish to inspect the food while it is cooking simply open the door. The oven will automatically stop cooking. To continue cooking, you simply Defrest 305W close the door. • If you wish to stop cooking, simply turn the timer knob to the “OFF” Combi Grill : 1000W / MW : 385W position. Cooking can be reset at any time during the cooking cycle by turning the timer control.

MICROWAVING PRINCIPLES Microwave energy has been used in this country to cook and reheat food since early ABSORPTION experiments with RADAR in World War ll. Microwaves are present in the atmosphere all the time, both naturally and manmade sources. Manmade sources include radar, radio, television, telecommunication links and car phones. HOW MICROWAVES COOK FOOD Microwave Water Molecule Absorption Vibration The microwaves cause the water molecules to vibrate which causes FRICTION, i.e. HEAT. This heat then cooks the food. Microwaves are also attracted to fat and sugar Microwave oven is a Group 2 ISM equipment in which radio frequency energy is particles, and foods high in these will cook more quickly. Microwaves can only intentionally generated and used in the form of electromagnetic radiation for the penetrate to a depth of treatment of material.

COOKING TECHNIQUES STANDING TIME STARTING TEMPERATURE Dense foods e.g. meat, jacket potatoes and cakes, require standing time(inside The colder the food, the longer it takes to heat up. Food from a fridge takes or outside of the oven) after cooking, to allow heat to finish conducting to cook longer to reheat than food at room temperature. the center completely. Wrap meat joints and jacket potatoes in aluminium foil while standing. Meat joints need approx. 10-15 minutes, jacket potatoes 5 LIQUIDS minutes. Other foods such as plated meal, vegetables, fish etc require 2-5 All liquids must be stirred before and during heating. Water especially must be minutes standing. After defrosting food, standing time should also be allowed. If stirred before and during heating, to avoid eruption. Do not heat liquids that have food is not cooked after standing time, return to the oven and cook for additional previously been boiled. DO NOT OVERHEAT. time. TURNING & STIRRING MOISTURE CONTENT Some foods require stirring during cooking. Meat and poultry should be turned Many fresh foods e.g. vegetables and fruit, vary in their moisture content after half the cooking time. throughout the season, particularly jacket potatoes. For this reason cooking times may have to be adjusted. Dry ingredients e.g. rice, pasta, can dry out during storage so cooking times may differ. ARRANGING Individual foods e.g. chicken portions or chops, should be placed on a dish so that the thicker parts are towards the outside. DENSITY Porous airy foods heat more quickly than dense heavy foods. QUANTITY CLING FILM Small quantities cook faster than large quantities, also small meals will reheat more quickly than large portions. Cling film helps keep the food moist and the trapped steam assists in speeding up cooking times. Pierce before cooking to allow excess steam to escape. Always take care when removing cling film from a dish as the build-up of steam PIERCING will be very hot. The skin or membrane on some foods will cause steam to build up during cooking. These foods must be pierced or a strip of skin should be peeled off SHAPE before cooking to allow the steam to escape. Eggs, potatoes, apples, sausages Even shapes cook evenly. Food cooks better by microwave when in a round etc, will all need to be pierced before cooking. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO BOIL container rather than square. EGGS IN THEIR SHELLS. SPACING COVERING Foods cook more quickly and evenly if spaced apart. NEVER pile foods on top Cover foods with microwave cling film or a lid. Cover fish, vegetables, of each other. casseroles, soups. Do not cover cakes, sauces, jacket potatoes or pastry items. 16 KOG-6F25_KQG6627WWSU013UW00(영어)_A5.indd 16 16. 9. 13. 오후 2:58
