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.

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.
6
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.
7
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
8
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.

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.

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.

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.
3
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.
11
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.

"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.
