About Your Microwave Oven
Microwave cooking is very quick and ecient. Microwave cooking can also help
preserve the minerals and vitamins in many foods.
The microwave power output of your oven is 800 watts.
Because the temperature in a microwave oven is relatively cool (unlike a normal oven)
you have to remember that the food can be extremely hot. Always take precautions
when handling containers.
Radio Interference:
Operation of the microwave oven can cause interference to your radio, TV or similar
equipment. When there is interference, it may be reduced or eliminated by taking the
following measures:
Clean the door and sealing surface of the oven.•
Reorient the receiving antenna of radio or television.•
Relocate the microwave oven with respect to the receiver.•
Move the microwave oven away from the receiver.•
Cooking In your Oven
Your oven can carry out a number of cooking processes.
Basic Microwave Cooking•
Basic Grilling•
Microwave/Grill combination cooking•
In this last process, food is partially cooked by microwaves and then nished by grilling. This
accelerates the cooking process whilst maintaining the nish and texture of traditionally
cooked foods. There is also a programme that enables you to defrost frozen food and then
combination cook it thus completing the entire cooking process in one operation.
Preset cooking programmes
Your oven has 8 preset programmes. These programmes allow you to automate the
cooking of a range of standard foods for greater convenience.
So you can just select the programme, dial in the amount of food you want to cook and
the oven will do the rest!
Suitable and unsuitable containers
Some basic guidelines are given in the table below.
Cookware Microwave Grill Combination*
Heat-resistant glass 4 4 4
Non heat-resistant glass 8 8 8
Heat-resistant ceramics 4 4 4
Microwave-safe plastics 4 8 8
Kitchen paper 4 8 8
Metal trays/Metal racks 8 4 8
Aluminium foil 8 4 8
Metal foil containers 8 4 8
(*Combination refers to microwave + grill cooking)
Use heat resistant porcelain, glass or plastic containers made for microwave ovens,
otherwise there is a risk of shrinking, deforming or burning. Metal containers, or
containershavingmetaldecorationor trim arenotsuitableforusewith your microwave
oven.
When you are combination cooking, the container must be fully heatproof as well as
suitable for microwave cooking.
Avoid containers which narrow at the top as these may cause the contents to erupt
when removed from the oven.
Tesco stores stock a wide range of microwave containers and wraps designed for
microwave ovens. Plastic lms should not touch food as they may gas, melt or break
down when hot and contaminate food.
Wax paper, oven cooking bags, parchment paper and white microwave paper towels
are safe for microwave use. Wooden objects may catch re - so avoid their use.
Do not use aluminium foil for microwave cooking unless the recipe requires it. Keep foil
at least 25mm away from the oven walls. Metal skewers, ties, etc. should be removed
from food before cooking.

Points to remember when grilling:
Use a metal grill rack (supplied) so that food can drain.•
Do not overload the grill rack. Space the food out.•
Brushing the grill rack very sparingly with vegetable oil will stop food adhering to•
it and make washing up easier.
Always stand the grill rack in a heatproof ceramic dish. This will catch drips and•
help keep the oven clean.
Do not use the grill without the turntable in place. The turntable helps the food•
to cook evenly.
When removing or turning over food use heatproof tongs.•
When removing or inserting the provided grill rack into a hot oven use a suitable•
heatproof implement.
CAUTION:
When you use the grill, the cooking utensils and the interior of the oven get very
hot, much hotter than when you are using the oven as a regular microwave.
Always stir food with long handled implements, tongs, etc.
Always use oven gloves when removing or placing utensils in an oven where
the grill has recently been on. When you set utensils down on a surface make
sure it is heatproof or use an insulating mat.
After use allow an extra long period for the oven to cool down before cleaning
or re-use.
USING THE GRILL
The grill is useful for cooking thin slices of meat, steaks, kebabs, sausages and pieces of
chicken. It is also suitable for hot sandwiches and au gratin dishes. Grilling takes place

COMBINATION COOKING
Combination Microwave and grill cooking oers you the speed of a microwave oven
with the nish and taste of a conventional grill. To help you realise the potential of this
form of cooking, we advise you to buy a recipe book dedicated to this cooking art.
There are two Combi-grill programs. They both work in exactly the same way but have
dierent settings. Both microwave the food rst and then grill it to give a browned,
tasty nish.
COMBINATION 1: Microwaves the food for55% of the total time and grills it for 45%.
Use this program for puddings omelettes, baked potatoes and poultry.
COMBINATION 2: Microwaves the food for36% of the total time and grills it for 64%.
Use this program for sh, potatoes, and‘au gratin’dishes.
Setting a combi -grill program:
Press Stop to clear any program.
Press the1. Grill/Combi button until C-1 or C-2 appears. or
Press Grill/Combi and then / until C-1 or C-2 appears.
Press the2. Start/+30 Sec./Conrm button to conrm.
Press the3. / keys to select the minutes.

to Clock display.
AUTO DEFROST
There are two Auto Defrost programmes.
Weight Defrost: Defrost food by entering the weight of the food and the oven will
calculate the defrosting time.
Time Defrost: If the food packaging has a microwave defrost time, you can dial in the
recommended Defrosting time.
Example 1: Auto Defrost 1 kg of food by weight (dEF1)
Press the1. Weight Defrost button.
Press the2. / keys to enter the weight of
the food (you can auto defrost 100g to 2.0 kg in
100g increments).

The programme automatically calculates the time
required.
Example 2: Auto Defrost food for 24 min. (Defrost Program 2)
Press the Time Defrost button.1.
Press the2. / keys to enter the defrosting
time. You can enter a maximum time of 95
minutes.
Press the3. Start/+30 Sec./Conrm button to start.
When defrosting:
Stop the oven periodically to remove or separate defrosted portions.
Periodically check food during the defrosting process, turning it if necessary.
If using plastic containers, defrost the food only just long enough to free it from the
plastic and then place it a microwave-safe dish.
When the defrost cycle is over: the oven will beep 5 times.
Open the oven door.•
You should now ensure the food is fully defrosted before proceeding. If the food is•
not defrosted program the oven in one minute increments until totally defrosted.
Always ensure that food is fully defrosted before cooking. This is particularly•
important with poultry and pork.

TIPS FOR GOOD COOKING
Please read this section in conjunction with the Safety
Guide.
Stir liquids and purees before during and after•
cooking to distribute the heat evenly. Mashed
potato will cook more evenly and more thoroughly
if lightly covered.
Never tightly cover food. Always cover it loosely.•
Do not allow plastic lm to touch food as it may•
chemically break down or melt or even catch re
and contaminate the food.
Arrange food in the dish so that the thicker part is•
on the outside and the thinner part inside for more
even cooking. Fold under the thin edges of sh llets
and tapered foods.
5-6 minutes per 500 gr. will cook most fruit and•
vegetables. Seafood takes less time.
Dierent foods require dierent temperatures to•
cook. Add more minutes as you drop the power.
Up to 20% of the cooking takes place after the oven•
turns o so always remember that your food will
continue cooking after you’ve removed it.
Food that takes an hour in to cook in a regular oven•
should take around 15 minutes in the microwave.
Foods with baking powder should stand a few•
minutes before cooking to allow the leavening
agents to work.
If a recipe calls for milk and water, reduce the water.•
Rotate large items of food occasionally during•
cooking to encourage even heat distribution.
Food cooks best and reheats better in a round dish•
or a dish with curved sides.
Salt attracts microwaves. Don’t just sprinkle it on•
food before cooking, stir it in or add it later.
Fats and sugars attract microwaves - thoroughly mix•
sugar with other ingredients. Care should be taken
when cooking foods with high sugar or fat contents
as they can reach very high temperatures.
Handle pastry-wrapped foods like mince pies•
carefully as the lling gets hotter than the pastry.
Hints for reheating food
Heat leftovers and pre-cooked food to at least•
70°C. Food should be hot and steaming before it is
served.
When re-heating liquids such as meat stews see that•
the liquid boils for around 3-5 minutes to ensure the
pieces of meat are completely heated through.
Hints for defrosting
Only defrost food in the microwave if you plan to•
cook the food immediately after it has thawed.
Some areas of the food may begin to cook during
defrosting, which can allow bacteria can ourish.
Do not cook defrosted raw meat in a microwave
oven.
Remove the food from the wrapping, place it on a•
microwave safe dish. Rotate and re-arrange food
during defrosting. Where appropriate, stir the food
and if possible, separate the food items and remove
those which have already defrosted.
Steam and Smoke
Steam: Steam is a natural product of microwave•
cooking. It escapes from the vents in the top and
rear of the appliance. These vents should never be
blocked. Steam may condense in and around the
oven during cooking and should be dried o after
use.
Smoke: If during cooking, smoke starts to come from•
the oven do NOT open the oven door! Immediately
switch o at the mains, unplug the oven and wait
for the smoke to completely subside and the oven
to fully cool down before removing the food. Before
you use your microwave oven again, consult a
service technician and have the oven tested .
Testing Your Oven
Place a cup of water in the oven and heat it on full power
for 2 minutes. If the water gets hot the oven is working.
Dim Oven Light
During low power microwave cooking the oven light
may appear to dim slightly. This is normal and not a
cause for concern.
If the oven fails to work or will not respond to
commands.
Unplug the oven and inspect the plug fuse. If this is
intact, leave the oven for 30 minutes and then plug the
oven in again. The oven should now work normally.

Informacje dotyczące kuchenki mikrofalowej
Przyrządzanie potraw w kuchence mikrofalowej jest szybkie i efektywne. Przyrządzanie potraw
w kuchence mikrofalowej może również pomóc zachować zawarte w nich sole mineralne i
witaminy.
Moc mikrofal w kuchence wynosi 800 W.
Z uwagi na to, że temperatura kuchenki mikrofalowej jest stosunkowo niska (w przeciwieństwie
do zwykłych piekarników), należy pamiętać, że potrawa może być bardzo gorąca. Należy
zawsze zachować odpowiednie środki ostrożności podczas obchodzenia się z pojemnikami i
naczyniami.
Zakłócenia radiowe:
Korzystanie z kuchenki mikrofalowej może powodować zakłócenia sygnału radiowego,
telewizyjnego lub podobnych urządzeń. W przypadku wystąpienia takich zakłóceń można je
zmniejszyć lub wyeliminować, wykonując następujące czynności:
Oczyścić drzwiczki oraz powierzchnię uszczelek kuchenki.•
Zmienić pozycję anteny odbiorczej radia lub telewizora.•
Zmienić pozycję kuchenki mikrofalowej względem odbiornika.•
Przenieść kuchenkę mikrofalową w miejsce znajdujące się z dala od odbiornika.•
Przyrządzanie potraw w kuchence mikrofalowej
Kuchenka mikrofalowa umożliwia przeprowadzanie wielu procesów gotowania.
Podstawowe gotowanie w kuchence mikrofalowej•
Podstawowe grillowanie•
Gotowanie kombinowane: mikrofala/grill•
W przypadku tego ostatniego procesu potrawa jest częściowo gotowana przy użyciu mikrofal,
po czym jest wykańczana poprzez grillowanie. Przyspiesza to proces gotowania, równocześnie
zachowując wykończenie i konsystencję tradycyjnie przyrządzanych potraw. Dostępny jest również
program umożliwiający rozmrażanie zamrożonych potraw i gotowanie kombinowane, co pozwala
zrealizować cały proces gotowania jako jedną czynność.
Ustawione fabrycznie programy gotowania
Kuchenka mikrofalowa posiada 8 ustawionych fabrycznie programów. Programy te umożliwiają
zautomatyzowanie przyrządzania szerokiej gamy standardowych potraw, co stanowi bardzo
wygodne rozwiązanie dla użytkownika.
Można wybrać program, ustawić ilość potrawy, jaką chce się przyrządzić, a kuchenka
zrobi resztę!

(*Gotowanie kombinowane”oznacza gotowanie przy użyciu mikrofal + grilla)
Używać pojemników i naczyń z porcelany, szkła lub tworzyw sztucznych odpornych na działanie
wysokich temperatur i przeznaczonych do użytku w kuchenkach mikrofalowych, gdyż w
przeciwnym wypadku istnieje ryzyko ich skurczenia, zniekształcenia lub spalenia. Pojemniki
metalowe lub posiadające metalowe zdobienia lub wykończenia nie nadają się do użytku w
kuchence mikrofalowej.
W przypadku gotowania kombinowanego pojemnik musi być całkowicie żaroodporny i musi się
nadawać do użytku w kuchence mikrofalowej.
Unikać pojemników i naczyń zwężanych ku górze, gdyż mogą one spowodować wypryśnięcie
zawartości po jej wyjęciu z kuchenki mikrofalowej.
W sklepach Tesco do nabycia jest szeroka gama pojemników oraz opakowań przeznaczonych
specjalnie do kuchenek mikrofalowych. Plastikowe folie nie powinny się stykać z potrawą, gdyż
mogą wydzielać gaz, stopić się lub pęknąć po nagrzaniu, zanieczyszczając potrawę.
Papier woskowy, woreczki do przyrządzania potraw w piekarniku, pergamin oraz białe ręczniki
papierowe do kuchenek mikrofalowych nadają się do bezpiecznego użytkowania w kuchenkach
mikrofalowych. Drewniane przedmioty mogą się zająć ogniem, dlatego należy ich unikać.
Do przyrządzania potraw w kuchence mikrofalowej nie powinno się używać folii aluminiowej,
chyba że wymaga tego przepis.W takim przypadku folia musi być oddalona od ścianek kuchenki
o co najmniej 25 mm. Metalowe szpikulce itp. należy wyjąć z potrawy przed przystąpieniem do
gotowania.
