before use
GB-7
safety information
do not use these in your microwave
● Never use equipment made of metal, except foil in your microwave oven. The microwave energy cannot 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.
Containers / Certain foods
WARNING : Pressure will build up in sealed containers and
cause them to explode. Therefore, do not use the following in your microwave: ¨ Sealed containers ¨ Capped bottles ¨ Vacuum containers ¨ Sealed jars ¨ Hard-boiled egg ¨ 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 micro wave. Damaged glass can explode.
delayed boiling
Liquids heated in a microwave can boil up when removing them from the microwave. Take the following precautions :
● Always stir liquids, before and after cooking.
● Allow them to stand.
● Use containers that are wider at the top than the bottom.
preparing food for babies
Extra care must be taken when preparing food or drink for babies and small children.
● Always test the food or liquid temperature before giving it to a baby.
● When using a baby bottle, ensure the teat is removed before heating.
● When warming milk, ensure the bottle is shaken.
caution!
During cooking, the outer surface will become hot, do not touch outer casing of appliance. Care should be taken not to store any items on top of your microwave oven.

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 cannot 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 otherwise 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 micro
wave. 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.
● Use oven 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 oven.
● Do not use more than one piece of foil in the oven at the same
time.
GB-10
unpacking and getting ready
This microwave oven is designed for home use. It should not be used for commercial catering.
1. After unpacking your oven, check that it has not been damaged whilst in the box. Make sure there are no dents on the oven, and the door closes properly. A dented or damaged oven could allow microwave energy to escape. Make sure that you have taken all the packag­ing from inside the oven. Please dispose of the plastic wrappings or bags safely and keep out of the reach of babies and young children.
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 oven and 30cm above so that warm air can
escape from the vents during cooking – This
microwave is not designed to be built in.
3. Plug your oven into a standard household electrical socket (230-240 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 oven 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.

introducing microwave cooking
Always remember the basic safeguards you would follow when using any cooking equipment or handling hot food. See below for basic guidelines in microwave cooking. If you are unfamiliar with using a microwave, refer to the back of this instruction booklet for more information.
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 contain the bone.
● 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 oven which could cause sparks.
NOTE: You should always have your microwave checked by a
qualified technician if it has been dropped or damaged to ensure it is safe to use.
GB-12
● 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 oven they are concentrated onto food causing it to heat up.
● Microwave energy cannot pass through metal
– so it cannot escape from inside your micro­wave oven – 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 heats up. (Fig 1)
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 oven next to a cup of
water – use a cup that you know is microwave-
safe. Close the door.
2. 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). Turn the microwave oven on for 30 seconds only.
3. 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.
