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 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.
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.
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. The turntable is shaped to sit securely on
the spindle. You must always use the turntable
and ring whenever you use the microwave.
Underside View
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 the
microwave upside down.

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.
• 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 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 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 disappeared into the atmosphere but in a microwave 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 –
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.
• 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. If you 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 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. 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 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.
• 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 a time
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 a aluminium 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 1.25in
(3.5cm) 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.

850W
E
850W is the output power of the microwave.
E is the heating category for your microwave.
Check the cooking times for category E on the food’s
packaging to see how long it should be cooked for.
Please see the below example for reference.
To Microwave:
1. Remove outer packaging.
2. Pierce film lid SEVERAL TIMES.
3. Place on a microwaveable plate.
4. Heat on full power.
5. Turn halfway through heating.

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 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.

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.
