Microwave Cooking Principles; Grounding Instructions - Hitachi HMR-M2002 Instruction Manual

2 Installation and connection
2.3 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 microwave
cooking 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.

2.4 Grounding instructions

This appliance must be grounded. This oven
is equipped with a cord having a grounding
wire with a grounding plug. It must be
plugged into a wall receptacle that is
properly installed and grounded. In the
event of an electrical short circuit, grounding
reduces risk of electric shock by providing
an escape wire for the electric current. It is
recommended that a separate circuit
serving only the oven be provided. Using a
high voltage is dangerous and may result in
a fire or other accident causing oven
damage.
WARNING: Improper use of the
grounding plug can result in a
risk of electric shock.
If you have any questions about
the grounding or electrical
instructions, consult a qualified
electrician or service person.
Neither the manufacturer nor the
dealer can accept any liability for
damage to the oven or personal
injury resulting from failure to
observe the electrical
connection procedures.
The wires in this cable main are colored in
accordance with the following code:
Green and Yellow = EARTH
Blue = NEUTRAL
Brown = LIVE
2.5 Utensils guide
1. Microwave cannot penetrate metal. Only
use utensils that are suitable for use in
microwave ovens. Metallic containers for
food and beverages are not allowed
during microwave cooking. This
requirement is not applicable if the
manufacturer specifies size and shape of
metallic containers suitable for microwave
cooking.
2. Microwave cannot 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.
