Before Use
Safety Information
Do not use these in your Microwave
• Metal objects are not to be used in the microwave. This include:
– Metal cooking utensils.
– Metal plates or trays
– Wine twist ties
– Crockery with metal trims
– Meat thermometer
• Never use equipment made of metal, except foil in your microwave. The microwave
energy cannot pass through the metal so it bounces o and sparks against the inside of
the microwave.
• Stop the microwave straight away if any equipment is causing sparks.
• Remember that some crockery has a metal trim around the edge. Even this trim can cause
sparks.
Checking your Cooking Utensils
Most heat-resistant, non-metallic cooking utensils are safe to use in your microwave. If you are
not sure if 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 a cup 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.
4. 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.
5. Do not use your hands to touch the utensils as it may already be hot.
Containers
WARNING : Pressure will build up in sealed containers and can cause them to explode.
Therefore, do not use the following in your microwave:
– Sealed containers
– Capped bottles
– Vacuum containers
– Sealed jars
– Hard-boiled eggs
– Eggs in their shells
– Nuts
• Always pierce the skin of fruit and vegetables, such as potatoes.
• Never use scratched, cracked or damaged glass in a microwave. Damaged glass can
explode.

GB-9
Before Use
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 metal, microwave energy cannot pass through foil, but provided that you keep
the foil away from the side of the microwave it will not cause sparks and there will not be any
damage to your microwave.
Using 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 foil over the area you want to shield, taking care that the foil will not touch the sides
of the microwave when the turntable rotates. Only use one piece of foil at a time so that you
do not get sparks between the separate pieces.
Follow these guidelines when using foil in your microwave:
• Remove foil lids from containers before using in the microwave. Some lids are made
of card with a 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 lm cover.
• Always use the glass turntable.
• Use shallow containers with a large surface area. Do not use containers that are more than
1.25in (3.5cm) deep.
• Use gloves when handling hot foil containers.
• Do not completely cover food with foil. The microwave energy cannot pass through the
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 foil in the microwave at the same time.

Unpacking and 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 inside
the microwave. Please dispose of the plastic
wrappings/ bags safely and keep out of the
reach of babies and young children.
2. Choose a at work surface for your microwave
away from heat sources such as radiators or res
and away from cold areas. You should allow a
10cm 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. (See Fig. 1)
3. Plug your microwave into a standard household
electrical socket (230 volt, 13 amp rated). Avoid
using a socket that also has an adaptor and
other equipment plugged in. Do not use a multi
adaptor.
4. Put the turntable ring inside the microwave and
place the glass turntable on top of the ring. (See
Fig. 2) The turntable is shaped to sit securely on
the spindle. You must always use the turntable
and ring whenever you use the microwave.
5. To protect your work surface, we recommend
that you x some non-slip cushion pads (not
included) to the underside of the microwave.

Before Use
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.
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 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 a shorter 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 foil
sparingly and wrap around the food or container carefully to stop it touching the inside of
the microwave which could cause sparks.
• Microwave ovens cook food using microwave
energy that is similar to naturally occurring radio
waves. Normally, these“waves” would fade as
they dispersed 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. (See Fig. 4)

E
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 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.
800W is the output power of the microwave
oven.
Eis the heating category for your microwave .
Check the cooking times for category Eon 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 lm lid SEVERAL TIMES.
Place on a microwaveable plate.
Heat on full power.

GB-13
Before Use
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
microwave and from around the door.
Condensation
As the steam cools, you may nd 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. (See Fig. 5)
There is no danger of microwave energy escaping
with the steam.
