Unpacking
This microwave oven is
designed for home use. It
should not be used for
commercial catering.
Unpacking and getting ready
After unpacking your oven, check that it has not been damaged whilst in
the box. Make sure there are no dents, that the door closes properly.
1
A dented or damaged oven could allow microwave energy to escape.
Make sure that you have taken all the packaging from inside the oven.
Choose a flat work surface for your microwave away from heat sources
such as radiators or fires, and away from anywhere that is very cold.
2
You should allow a 10cm space all around the oven and
30cm above so that warm air can escape from the
vents during cooking – it is not designed to be built in.
Plug your oven into a standard household electrical socket
(240 volt, 13 amp rated).

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.
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.
Meat and poultr y which is cooked for 15 minutes
or more will brown lightly in it is own fat.
Anything cooked for a shorter time can be brushed
with a browning sauce to give an appetising colour.
You should always have your microwave checked
if it is dropped or damaged.
Microwave energy can heat unevenly so stirring to
distribute heat is ver y impor tant. Always stir from the
outside towards the centre.
Tur n larger foods such as meat roasts and poultry
during cooking so that the top and bottom cook
evenly. It is also a good idea to turn chops and
chicken pieces, especially if they contain the bone.
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 oven which could cause
sparks.
GB-6
Microwave ovens 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 oven 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 oven – 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.
Checking your cooking utensils
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.
Introducing microwave
cooking
Safety
Never use equipment
made of metal, except
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 crocker y
has a metal trim around the
edge. Even this trim can cause
sparks.
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 Make sure that the grill is positioned in the upwards position to
the top of the microwave (Do not use your hands to touch the grill
as it may already be hot).
2 Put the utensil into the oven next to a cup of water – use a cup
that you know is microwave-safe. Close the door
3 Turn the microwave oven on for 30 seconds only.
4 At the end of the time, 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 oven.
Safety
Never use scratched,
cracked or damaged
glass in a microwave.
Damaged glass can
explode.
GB-7

More about getting the most from microwave cooking
Microwave heating categories
Your oven has been tested and labelled to meet the government's
voluntar y agreement on the reheating of pre-cooked food.
Remember
Always check that the food is
evenly cooked and piping hot
before you ser ve it.
700W
D
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.
700W is the output power of
the oven.
D is the heating categor y for your
oven.
Check the cooking times for categor y
D on the food's packaging to see
how long it should be cooked for.
To Microwave:Remove outer packaging.
Pierce film lid SEVERAL TIMES.
Place on a microwaveable plate. Heat on
full power. Turn halfway through heating.
To Microwave from Frozen: Remove outer
packaging. Pierce film lid SEVERAL TIMES.
Place on a microwaveable plate. Heat on
full power. Turn halfway through heating.
GB-8
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 oven
and from around the door.
Condensation
As the steam cools, you may find the condensation gathers in small
pools inside your microwave and on the work surface beneath the
door and vents.
Always dr y the oven after cooking foods with a high moisture
content.
Introducing microwave
cooking
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.
GB-9
Introducing microwave
cooking
Checking your microwave
Check your microwave is working after unpacking and whenever
you think it might not be working properly.
Safety
For your safety, the
microwave stops if the oven
door is opened during
cooking. Close the door to
continue the cooking cycle.
Hint
Push button to open the door.
Put the turntable ring inside the oven and place the glass turntable on
1
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.
Place a cup of water on the turntable. Make sure the cup is
microwave-safe – it should not have any decorative metal trim.
Close the oven door.
2
Press the "Cancel/Stop" button to clear any settings that have already been made.
3
Press the "Quick Start/Start" button once.
4
The oven light comes on during cooking.
You can stop cooking at
any time so that you can;
check the food, turn the food
over, stir it or leave the food to
stand.
GB-10
When cooking finishes, the water should be hot - be careful when you take the
5
cup out of the oven.
Press the "Cancel/Stop" button
Setting the Child Lock
The child lock is a safety feature which when set will lock all of the buttons on your
microwave. This prevents your microwave being used accidentally though your
microwave door will still open.

GB-23
Using aluminium foil
Using aluminium foil in your
microwave
It is safe to use aluminium foil in your microwave oven as long as you follow these safety guidelines.
As with all metal, microwave energy
can not pass through foil, but provided
that you keep the foil away from the
side of the oven it will not cause sparks
and there will not be any damage to
your oven.
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 other wise overcook.
Place the foil over the area you want
to shield, taking care that the foil
will not touch the sides of the oven
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 film
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.
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 oven.
Do not use more than one piece
of foil in the oven at the same
time.
GB-24
Use oven gloves when handling
hot foil containers.
Questions and answers
Questions and answers
Q
A
Q
A
Q
A
Why does not food seem to cook?
Check that:
• the cooking time has been set
• the door is closed
• the power socket is not overloaded causing a 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.
Q
A
Q
A
Q
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 have been taken out of the oven. Because
microwave cooking works from the outside of food
inwards, standing time lets you cook the centre of
the food just right without the outside being
overcooked.
Why does my oven sometimes take longer
to cook than it says in the recipe?
First check that the oven 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 oven.
Use your judgement along with the recipe to check
whether food has been cooked properly.

Questions and answers
Q

Q

Q
A
Does the microwave energy get through
the window on the door?
No. The door has a special metal screen with holes
in 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 oven is empty?
The microwave will be damaged. Do not switch the
microwave on when there is nothing inside the oven.
It is a good idea to keep a cup of water in the oven
just in case someone accidentally starts the
microwave.

Q
Why will not the oven light come on?
Open the door. If the light does not come on, the
bulb has probably blown. Call a qualified repairer
– do not try to change the bulb yourself.
There are sparks inside the oven 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 do not have a metal
trim. You must not use metal in your microwave,
except foil, when you cook.
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?
GB-26
A
Microwave ovens use radio waves similar to those
received by TVs and radios. You can lessen the
interference by moving your microwave fur ther
away from the TV or radio.
