700W
D
(IEC 60705) 700W is the output power of the
microwave.
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 microwave are usually calculated using a
relatively large portion of food (a 1000 gram load, IEC 60705) 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.
D is the heating category for your microwave.
Check the cooking times for category D on
the food’s packaging to see how long it should
be cooked for. Please see below example for
reference.
To Microwave:
Remove outer packaging.
Pierce film lid SEVERAL TIMES.
Place on a microwaveable plate.
Heat on full power.
Stir or turn halfway through heating.

Power input varies according to local voltage supply. The density, thickness and moisture
content of food can affect its cooking time. Ensure all food is piping hot and cooked
thoroughly before serving. It is essential that food is checked during and after the
recommended cooking time, even if the auto menu was used.

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.

cleaning your microwave
Cleaning your microwave each time you use it will help to prevent a build up of stubborn marks that
can be difficult to clean.
Unplug your microwave from the mains and wait for it to completely cool down before cleaning.
On the right hand side wall of the cavity is the wave guide cover. Microwaves are passed through
this to enable your food to cook. It is important that this wave guide cover is kept clean at all times.
Wipe it with mild detergent and water and leave to dry.
The microwave walls have a special enamel
coating which makes cleaning very easy.
Use a soft damp cloth to wipe off any
splashes or a paper towel to mop up any
spills. Wipe off grease with a damp cloth
and a little detergent. Dry thoroughly. If
grease is left to accumulate, it can smoke
and even catch fire.
1
Make sure you keep the outlet grids clean.
2
Keep the front of the microwave clean so
that the door can close properly.
3
Be careful not to spill water into the vents.
4
Do not remove the wave guide cover: It is
important to keep cover clean in the same
manner as the inside of the microwave. If
grease is left to accumulate, it can smoke
and even catch fire.
5
Keep the inside of the door clean with a
damp cloth. Use warm soapy water for
stubborn marks and dry thoroughly. The
inside of the door has a special coating and
must not be cleaned with abrasive pads or
cleaning powders.
6
Clean behind the door ledge.
7
Treat the glass turntable plate as you would
any glass plate. After you have used it
for more than 15 minutes, allow it to cool
down before you use it again. Do not wash
the glass turntable plate in very hot water,
doing so could crack it. Wash the turntable
support in warm water. Make sure the glass
turntable plate and turntable support are dry
before you put them back in the microwave.
10
Use warm soapy water to clean the outside
of the microwave. Do not use abrasive
buttons or powders that could scratch the
surface.
8
Unplug the microwave before cleaning the
power lead and the microwave. Wipe with a
damp cloth and leave to dry before plugging
it back in.
9
Do not remove any fixed parts from the
inside of your microwave during cleaning
or at any other time.

frequently asked questions
If a problem does occur, it may often be due to something very minor. The following Q & A may be
able to resolve the problem.
Questions Answers
Why doesn’t the food seem to cook? Check that:
• the cooking time has been set
• the door is closed
• the mains socket is not overloaded causing the fuse to blow.
Why does the food seem
undercooked or overcooked?
Check that:
• the correct cooking time has been set
• the correct power setting has been used.
How can I stop eggs from popping? When you bake or poach eggs in the microwave, the yolk can
sometimes pop as steam builds up inside it. You can stop the
egg from popping by piercing the yolk with a toothpick before
cooking.
Never cook eggs that are still in their shells.
Why is it so important that I allow
standing time after cooking?
With microwave cooking, many foods build up enough heat
inside them to continue cooking even after they’ve been taken
out of the microwave. Because microwave cooking works from
the outside of food inwards, standing time lets you cook the
centre of the food without the outside being overcooked.
Why does my microwave sometimes
take longer to cook than it says in the
recipe?
First check that the microwave was set just as the recipe said.
Cooking times and heat settings are suggestions to help
prevent overcooking but differences in the weight, size, shape
and starting temperature of food will all affect how long it takes
to cook – just as it does with a conventional microwave. Use
your judgement along with the recipe to check whether the food
has been cooked properly.
Why do I get condensation on the
inside of the door?
Condensation is perfectly normal, especially when you are
cooking food with a high moisture content such as potatoes.
Does the microwave energy get
through the window on the door?
No. The door has a special metal screen with holes that lets you
see inside but stops microwave energy from getting out.
Steam comes out of the side of the
door and vents. Can microwave
energy get out too?
No. The door and vents are carefully designed to let steam out
during cooking but keep microwave energy in. The gaps are not
big enough for microwave energy to escape.
What happens if the microwave is
switched on while the microwave is
empty?
The microwave will be damaged. Do not switch the microwave
on when there’s nothing inside the microwave. It is a good idea
to keep a cup of water in the microwave just in case someone
accidentally starts the microwave.
Why doesn’t the microwave’s light
illuminate?
Open the door. If the light does not illuminate, the bulb has
probably blown. Call a qualified technician – do not try to
change the bulb yourself.
There are sparks inside the
microwave when I use the microwave.
Will this cause any damage?
Yes. Make sure that you are not using any metal utensils and
that your containers don’t have a metal trim. You must not use
metal in your microwave when you cook (except aluminium foil).
Light is showing through the vents
and door. Does this mean the
microwave energy can escape?
No. It is normal for the light to be visible and is nothing to be
concerned about.
Why do I get interference on my TV
and radio when I use the microwave?
Microwaves use radio waves similar to those received by TVs
and radios. You can lessen the interference by moving your
microwave further away from the TV or radio.
