Unpacking and getting ready

1After unpacking your oven, check that it has not been damaged whilst in

the box. Make sure there are no dents, that the door closes properly,

and that the door seal is not damaged. A dented or damaged oven

could allow microwave energy to escape.

Make sure that you have taken all the packaging from inside the oven.

2Choose a flat work surface for your microwave away from heat sources

such as radiators or fires, and away from anywhere that's very cold.

You should allow a 10cm space all around the oven and

30cm above so that warm air can escape from the

vents during cooking – it is not designed to be built in.

3Plug your oven into a standard household electrical socket

(240 volt, 13 amp rated).

Avoid using a socket that also has an adaptor and other equipment

plugged in.

4Put the turntable ring inside the oven and place the glass turntable on

top of the ring. The turntable is shaped to sit securely on the spindle.

You must always use the turntable and ring whenever you use the

microwave.

Unpacking

This microwave oven is

designed for home use. It

should not be used for

commercial catering.

Introducing microwave cooking

Always remember the basic safeguards you would follow when using any

cooking equipment or handling hot food.

This page gives some of the basic guidelines for microwave cooking.

If you are unfamiliar with using a microwave, there is more information

at the back of this instruction booklet.

Cooking with a microwave

Cooking with a microwave is much faster than

conventional cooking and, whilst you should make

sure that food is fully cooked, you should be careful

not to overcook it.

If you are cooking a number of individual foods at the

same time, such as baked potatoes or small cakes,

arrange them evenly on the turntable so that they cook

evenly. Never stack food in your microwave.

Meat and poultry which is cooked for 15 minutes

or more will brown lightly in it is own fat.

Anything cooked for a shorter time can be brushed

with a browning sauce to give an appetising colour.

Microwave energy can heat unevenly so stirring to

distribute heat is very important. Always stir from the

outside towards the centre.

Turn larger foods such as meat roasts and poultry

during cooking so that the top and bottom cook

evenly. It is also a good idea to turn chops and

chicken pieces, especially if they contain the bone.

Strips of aluminium foil can be used to cover the

thinner pieces of food to stop them overcooking

before the thicker parts of the food have had a

chance to cook. Use the foil sparingly and wrap

around the food or container carefully to stop it

touching the inside of the oven which could cause

sparks.

Introducing microwave

cooking

You should always have your microwave checked

if it is dropped or damaged.

Microwave ovens cook food using microwave energy that is

similar to naturally occurring radio waves. Normally, these

"waves" would fade as they disappeared into the atmosphere

but in a microwave oven they are concentrated onto food

causing it to heat up.

Microwave energy can not pass through metal – so it can not

escape from inside your microwave oven – but it can pass

through materials like glass, porcelain, plastic and paper.

These are the things used to make

microwave-safe

cooking

equipment.

Microwave-safe cooking equipment will still get hot as the

food it contains heats up.

Checking your cooking utensils

Most heat-resistant, non-metallic cooking utensils are safe to use in your

microwave. If you are not sure you can use a utensil in your microwave,

follow this simple test:

3 Turn the microwave oven on for 30 seconds only.

4 At the end of the time, carefully check to see if the water has

warmed up. If the water has not warmed up but the utensil has, the

utensil is not microwave-safe and should not be used in the oven.

The microwave energy focuses on the moisture in the

food causing lots of tiny vibrations. The vibrations get so

great that the moisture – and the food – heat up.

Safety

Never use scratched,

cracked or damaged

glass in a microwave.

Damaged glass can

explode.

Safety

Never use equipment

made of metal, except

foil in your microwave

oven.

The microwave energy

can not pass through the

metal so it bounces off

and sparks against the

inside of the oven.

Stop the microwave straight

away if any equipment does

cause sparks.

Remember that some crockery

has a metal trim around the

edge. Even this trim can cause

sparks.

Introducing microwave

cooking

1 Make sure that the grill is positioned in the upwards position to

the top of the microwave (Do not use your hands to touch the grill

as it may already be hot).

2 Put the utensil into the oven next to a cup of water – use a cup

that you know is microwave-safe. Close the door

Remember

Always check that the food is

evenly cooked and piping hot

before you serve it.

700W is the output power of

the oven.

D is the heating category for your

oven.

Check the cooking times for category

E on the food's packaging to see

how long it should be cooked for.

More about getting the most from microwave cooking

Microwave heating categories

Your oven has been tested and labelled to meet the government's

voluntary agreement on the reheating of pre-cooked food.

The heating characteristics and output power levels of microwave

ovens are usually calculated using a relatively large portion of food

(a 1000 gram load, IEC 705) but many packs of pre-cooked food

are sold in smaller packs, often about 350 grams. The government,

in partnership with food companies and microwave manufacturers,

have set up a system of heating categories to help you choose the

reheating time for pre-cooked food.

Introducing microwave

700W

To Microwave: Remove outer packaging.

Pierce film lid SEVERAL TIMES.

Place on a microwaveable plate. Heat on

full power. Turn halfway through heating.

To Microwave from Frozen:Remove outer

packaging. Pierce film lid SEVERAL TIMES.

Place on a microwaveable plate. Heat on

full power. Turn halfway through heating.

Steam

When you microwave food, steam is created as water in the

food heats up and evaporates.

The steam formed during microwave cooking is entirely safe. It has

to escape from the microwave to prevent pressure from building up

inside the oven. It does this through the vents on the back of the oven

and from around the door.

Condensation

As the steam cools, you may find the condensation gathers in small

pools inside your microwave and on the work surface beneath the

door and vents.

Always dry the oven after cooking foods with a high moisture

content.

Your microwave is designed to let steam escape from the vents

and around the door without microwave energy escaping.

There is no danger of microwave energy escaping with the steam.

Introducing microwave

cooking

Checking your microwave

Check your microwave is working after unpacking and whenever

you think it might not be working properly.

1Put the turntable ring inside the oven and place the glass turntable on

top of the ring. The turntable is shaped to sit securely on the spindle.

You must always use the turntable and ring whenever you use the

microwave.

Place a cup of water on the turntable. Make sure the cup is

microwave-safe – it should not have any decorative metal trim.

Introducing microwave

Safety

For your safety, the

microwave stops if the oven

door is opened during

cooking. Close the door to

continue the cooking cycle.

Pull handle to open the door.

2Close the oven door.

4Press the "Start/+30Sec./Confirm" button once.

The oven light comes on during cooking.

5When cooking finishes, the water should be hot - be careful when you take the

cup out of the oven.

Press the "Stop/Clear" button.

Press the "Stop/Clear" button to clear any settings that have already been made.

Hint

You can stop cooking at

any time so that you can;

check the food, turn the food

over, stir it or leave the food to

stand.

Hint

Your oven has a safety

feature that prevents children

from using your oven. Once

the child lock is set, you will

be unable to use any functions,

and no cooking can take

place. However, your child can

still open the oven door.

Setting the Child Lock

2Lock quitting: In locked state, press "Stop/Clear" for 3 seconds, there will be a long

"beep" denoting that the lock is released.

Lock: In waiting state, press "Stop/Clear" for 3 seconds, there will be a long "beep"

denoting entering the children-lock state and screen will display the locked indicator.

The child lock is a safety feature which when set will lock all of the buttons on your

microwave. This prevents your microwave being used accidentally, though your

microwave door will still open.
