Getting Ready
This microwave
is
designed for home
use
.
It
should
not
be used for commercial catering.
1. After unpacking your microwave, check that
it
has
not
been damaged whilst in the box. Make sure
there
are
no dents, and
the
door closes properly. A damaged microwave could allow microwave energy
to
escape. Make sure
that
you have taken
out
all
of
the
packaging from the inside
of
the microwave.
Please
dispose
of
the plastic wrappings/ bags safely and keep
out
of
the reach
of
babies and young
children.
2.
Choose a flat work surface for your microwave
away from heat sources such
as
radiators or
fires and away from cold
areas.
You
should
allow a 1
Ocm
space all around the microwave
and 30cm above
so
that
warm air
can
escape from the vents during cooking -This
microwave
is
not
designed
to
be
built
in.
3. Plug your microwave into a standard
household electrical socket. Avoid using a
socket
that
also
has
an
adaptor and
other
equipment plugged in.
Do
not
use
a multi
adaptor.
4.
Put the turntable support inside the
microwave and place the glass turntable plate
on
top
of
the support.The turntable support
is
shaped
to
sit securely on the spindle.
You
must always
use
the turntable plate and
support whenever you
use
the microwave.
5.
To
protect your work surface, we recommend
that
you fix some non-slip cushion pads (not
included)
to
the underside
of
the microwave.
~~~

Remove the turntable plate and turntable
support before turning

Introducing Microwave Cooking
Always remember the basic safeguards you should follow when using any cooking equipment or handling
hot food.
See
below for basic guidelines in microwave cooking.
If
you are unfamiliar
with
using a
_microwave,
refer
to
the back
of
this instruction booklet for more
information.
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.
Microwave energy
can
heat unevenly
so
stirring
to
distribute heat
is
very important. Always stir from
the outside, inwards.
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 plate
so
that they cook evenly. Never stack food
in
your
microwave.
Turn larger foods such
as
meat roasts and poultry during cooking
so
that the
top
and
bottom
cook
evenly. It
is
also recommended
to
turn pieces
of
meat
or
poultry, especially
if
they have
not
been
deboned.
Meat and poultry which
is
cooked for
15
minutes
or
more will brown lightly in it's own fat. Anything
cooked for ashorter time
can
be brushed
with
a browning sauce
to
give
an
appetising colour.
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 aluminium foil sparingly and
wrap around the food or container carefully
to
stop
it
touching the inside
of
the microwave which
could
cause
sparks.
Microwaves cook food using microwave energy that
is
similar
to
naturally occurring radio waves.
Normally, these "waves"would fade
as
they disperse into the atmosphere
but
in a microwave they
are
concentrated
onto
the food causing
it
to
heat up.
Microwave energy cannot
pass
through metal -
so
it
cannot escape from inside your microwave -
but
it
can
pass
through materials like
glass,
porcelain, plastic and paper. These materials
are
used
in
the
manufacture
of
microwave
safe
cooking equipment.
Microwave
safe
cooking equipment will still get
hot
as
the food
it
contains heats up.
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.

Checking your cooking utensils
Most heat-resistant, non-metallic cooking utensils are
safe
to
use
in your microwave. Ifyou
are
not
sure you
can
use
a utensil in your microwave, follow this simple test:
1.
Put
the
utensil into
the
microwave next
to
a cup
of
water -
use
acup
that
you know
is
microwave
safe.
Close the door.
2.
Turn the microwave on for 30 seconds only.
3.
After 30 seconds, 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 microwave.
4.
Do
not
use
your hands
to
touch
the
utensil
as
it
may already be hot.
~===========================================-.
Never
use
equipment made
of
metal, except aluminium foil in your microwave.
The microwave energy
can
not
pass
through
the
metal
so
it
bounces
off
and sparks against the
..-..
inside
of
the microwave.
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.
Never
use
scratched, cracked or damaged glass in a microwave. Damaged glass
can
explode.
Using Aluminium Foil in Your Microwave
It
is
safe
to
use
aluminium foil in your microwave
as
long
as
you follow these safety guidelines.
As
with all metals, microwave energy cannot
pass
through aluminium foil,
but
provided you keep the
aluminium foil away from the side
of
the microwave
it
will
not
cause sparks and there will
not
be any
damage
to
your microwave.
Using aluminium foil
is
a good way
of
shielding parts
of
food
that
you
do
not
want
to
cook
as
quickly
as
others -perhaps where the food
is
narrower and would otherwise overcook,
Place
the aluminium foil over the
area
you want
to
shield, taking care
that
the aluminium foil will
not
touch
the sides
of
the microwave when the turntable plate rotates. Only
use
one piece
of
aluminium foil at atime
so
that
you
do
not
get
sparks between the separate pieces.
Follow these guidelines when using aluminium foil in your microwave:
Remove aluminium foil lids from containers before using
in
the microwave. Some lids are made
of
card
with
aaluminium foil covering -these should be removed too.
Use
a microwave
safe
transparent lid
if
possible.
Stir food during cooking
if
the container
has
a lid
or
film cover.
Always
use
the glass turntable plate.
Use
shallow containers
with
a large surface
area.
Do
not
use
containers
that
are more than 1.2Sin
(3.Scm)
deep.
Use
gloves when handling
hot
aluminium foil containers.
Do
not
completely cover food
with
aluminium foil. The microwave energy cannot
pass
through
the
aluminium foil
so
the food will
not
cook.
Do
not
let aluminium foil touch the inside
of
the microwave.
Do
not
use
more than one piece
of
aluminium foil in the microwave at the same time.

Microwave Heating Categories
Your microwave
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
microwaves are usually calculated using a relatively
large
portion
of
food
(a
1000 gram load,
IEC
?OS)
but
many packs
of
pre-cooked food are sold in smaller
packs, often
about
3SO
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.

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 microwave.
It
does this through the vents on the back
of
the
microwave and from around the door.
Condensation
As
the steam cools,you may find
that
condensation
gathers in small pools inside your microwave and on
the
work surface beneath
the
door
and vents.Always
dry
the microwave 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.
