Unpacking and getting ready
1
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.
A dented or damaged oven could allow microwave energy to escape.
Make sure that you have taken all the packaging from inside the oven.
2
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.
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.
3
Plug your oven into a standard household electrical socket.
Avoid using a socket that also has an adaptor and other equipment
plugged in.
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.
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 poultry 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.
Microwave energy can heat unevenly so stirring to
distribute heat is very important. Always stir from the
outside towards the centre.
Turn 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.
Y ou should always have your microwave checked
if it is dropped or damaged.

Introducing microwave
cooking
Safety
Never use scratched,
cracked or damaged
glass in a microwave.
Damaged glass can
explode.
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 crockery
has a metal trim around the
edge. Even this trim can cause
sparks.
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
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:
2 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.
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.
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

700W is the output power of
the oven.
D is the heating category for your
oven.
Check the cooking times for category
D on the food's packaging to see
how long it should be cooked for.
More about getting the most from microwave cooking
Microwave heating categories
Your oven 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 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.

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.
Remember
Always check that the food is
evenly cooked and piping hot
before you serve it.
