Accessories
The oven comes equipped with a
variety of accessories. Always
follow the directions given for use
of the accessories.
Roller ring
 Do not remove the roller ring
from the cavity oor.
 The roller ring and the oven oor
should be cleaned frequently to
prevent noise and build-up of
remaining food.
 The roller ring must always be
used for cooking together with
the glass tray.
 If you accidentally remove the
roller ring, place the roller ring
gently into the hole in the centre
of the oven and locate it on the
spindle beneath.
Flat processing is applied on the
spindle to rmly hold the roller
ring during operation.
Glass tray
 Always operate the oven with the
roller ring and glass tray in place.
 Only use the glass tray
specically designed for this
oven. Do not substitute with any
other glass tray.

If the glass tray is hot, let it cool
before cleaning or placing in water.
 The glass tray can turn in either
direction.
 If the food or cooking vessel on
the glass tray touches the oven
walls and stops the tray rotating,
the tray will automatically rotate
in the opposite direction. This is
normal. Open oven door,
reposition the food and restart.

5EN
English
 Do not cook foods directly on the
glass tray unless indicated in
recipes. Always place food in a
microwave safe dish.
 While cooking, the glass tray may
vibrate. This will not affect
cooking performance.
Important
If the recommended cooking time
is exceeded, the food will be
spoiled and in extreme
circumstances could catch re
and possibly damage the interior
of the oven.
Short cooking time
As microwave cooking time is
much shorter than other cooking
methods, it is essential that
recommended cooking time is not
exceeded without rst checking the
food.
Factors that may affect cooking
time are: preferred degree of
cooking, starting temperature,
altitude, volume, size and shape of
foods and utensils used. As you
become familiar with the oven, you
will be able to adjust these factors.
It is better to undercook rather than
overcook foods. If food is
undercooked, it can always be
returned to the oven for further
cooking. If food is overcooked,
nothing can be done. Always start
with minimum cooking time.
Small quantities of food
Take care when heating small
quantities of food as these can
easily burn, dry out or catch re if
cooked too long. Always set short
cooking time and check the food
frequently.
Foods low in moisture
Take care when heating foods low
in moisture, e.g. bread items,
chocolate, popcorn, biscuits and
pastries. These can easily burn,
dry out or catch on re if cooked
too long. We do not recommend
heating foods low in moisture such
as popcorn or bread.
This oven has been developed for
food use only.
We do not recommend to use for
heating non food items such as
wheat bags or hot water bottles.
Reheating
It is essential that reheated food is
served “piping hot”.
Remove the food from the oven
and check that it is “piping hot”, i.e.
steam is being emitted from all
parts and all sauce is bubbling.
(You may choose to check the food
has reached 72 °C with a food
thermometer – but remember do
not use this thermometer inside the
microwave.)
For foods that cannot be stirred,
e.g. lasagne, shepherds pie, the
centre should be cut with a knife to
test it is well heated through. Even if
a manufacturer’s packet instructions
have been followed always check
the food is piping hot before serving
and if in doubt return your food to
the oven for further heating.
Standing time
Standing time refers to the period
at the end of cooking or reheating
when food is left before being
eaten, i.e. it is a rest time which
allows the heat in the food to
continue to conduct to the centre,
thus eliminating cold spots.

6EN
Important safety instructions
Lids
Always remove the lids of jars and
containers and takeaway food
containers before you microwave
the food. If the lid remains, then
steam and pressure might build up
inside and cause an explosion
even after the microwave cooking
has stopped.
Babies bottles and food jars
When reheating babies bottles
always remove top and teat. Liquid
at the top of the bottle will be much
hotter than that at the bottom and
must be shaken thoroughly before
checking the temperature. This
should be carried out before
consumption to avoid burns. See
page 27.
Boiled eggs
Eggs in their shell and whole
hard-boiled eggs should not be
heated in microwave ovens since
they may explode even after
microwave heating has ended.
Foods with skins
Potatoes, apples, egg yolk, whole
vegetables and sausages are
examples of food with non porous
skins. These must be pierced using
a fork before cooking to prevent
bursting.
Paper and plastic
When heating food in plastic or paper
containers, keep an eye on the oven
due to the possibility of ignition. Do
not use wire twist-ties with roasting
bags as arcing will occur.
Do not use re-cycled paper products,
e.g. kitchen roll unless they say they
are specically designed for use in a
microwave oven. These products
contain impurities which may cause
sparks and/or res when used.
Liquids
Microwave heating of beverages
can result in delayed eruptive
boiling, therefore care should be
taken when handling the container.
To prevent the possibility of sudden
boil the following steps should be
taken:
a) Avoid using straight-sided
containers with narrow necks.
b) Do not overheat.
c) Stir the liquid before placing the
container in the oven and again
halfway through the heating
time.
d) After heating, allow to stand in
the oven for a short time, stirring
again before carefully removing
the container.
Deep fat frying
Do not attempt to deep fat fry in
your oven.
Arcing
Arcing may occur accidentally if a
metal container has been used or
the incorrect weight of food is used.
Arcing is ashes of blue light seen
in the microwave oven. If this
occurs, stop the machine
immediately. If the oven is left
unattended and this continues it
can damage the machine.
Meat thermometer
Use a meat thermometer to check the
degree of cooking of joints and poultry
only when meat has been removed
from the microwave. If undercooked,
return to the oven and cook for a few
more minutes at the recommended
power level. Do not leave a
conventional meat thermometer in the
oven when microwaving.

General guidelines
STANDING TIME
Dense foods e.g. meat, jacket potatoes
and cakes, require standing time
(inside or outside of the oven) after
cooking, to allow heat to nish
conducting to the centre of the food to
cook through completely. Wrap meat
joints and jacket potatoes in aluminium
foil while standing. Meat joints need
approx. 10–15 minutes, jacket potatoes
5 minutes. Other foods such as plated
meals, vegetables, sh etc. require
2–5 minutes standing. If food is not
cooked after standing time, return to
the oven and cook for additional time.
After defrosting food, standing time
should also be allowed.
QUANTITY
Small quantities cook faster than large
quantities, and small meals will reheat
more quickly than large portions.
SPACING
Foods cook more quickly and evenly if
spaced apart. NEVER pile foods on top
of each other.
MOISTURE CONTENT
Many fresh foods e.g. vegetables and
fruit, vary in their moisture content
throughout the season. For this reason
cooking time may have to be adjusted.
Dry ingredients e.g. rice, pasta, can dry
out during storage so cooking time may
differ.
PIERCING
The skin or membrane on some foods
will cause steam to build up during
cooking.
These foods must be pierced or a strip
of skin should be peeled off before
cooking to allow the steam to escape.
Eggs, potatoes, apples, sausages etc,
will all need to be pierced before
cooking. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO BOIL
EGGS IN THEIR SHELLS.
COVERING
Cover foods with microwave cling lm
or a lid. Cover sh, vegetables,
casseroles, soups. Do not cover cakes,
sauces, jacket potatoes or pastry
items.
DENSITY
Porous airy foods heat more quickly
than dense heavy foods.

8EN
General guidelines
CLING FILM
Cling lm helps keep the food moist
and the trapped steam assists in
speeding up cooking time. Pierce
before cooking to allow excess steam
to escape. Always take care when
removing cling lm from a dish as the
build-up of steam will be very hot.
SHAPE
Even shapes cook evenly. Food cooks
better by microwave when in a round
container rather than square.
STARTING TEMPERATURE
The colder the food, the longer it takes
to heat up. Food from a fridge takes
longer to reheat than food at room
temperature.
LIQUIDS
All liquids must be STIRRED BEFORE,
DURING AND AFTER heating. Water
must be stirred before and during
heating, to avoid eruption.
Do not heat liquids that have previously
been boiled. DO NOT OVERHEAT.
TURNING AND STIRRING
Some foods require stirring during
cooking. Meat and poultry should be
turned after half of the cooking time.
ARRANGING
Individual foods e.g. chicken portions
or chops, should be placed on a dish
so that the thicker parts are towards
the outside.
CHECKING FOOD
It is essential that food is checked
during and after a recommended
cooking time, even if an AUTO
PROGRAMME has been used (just as
you would check food cooked in a
conventional oven). Return the food to
the oven for further cooking if
necessary.
DISH SIZE
Follow the dish sizes given in the
recipes, as these affect the cooking
and reheating times.
A quantity of food spread in a bigger
dish cooks and reheats faster.
CLEANING
As microwaves work on food particles,
keep your oven clean at all times.
Stubborn spots of food can be removed
by using a microwave spray cleaner,
sprayed onto a soft cloth. Always wipe
the oven dry after cleaning.
