Getting Ready
This microwave is designed for home use only. It should not be used for commercial catering.
1. After unpacking your microwave, check that it has not been damaged whilst in the box.
Make sure there are no dents, and the door closes properly. A damaged microwave could
allow microwave energy to escape. Make sure that you have taken out all the packaging
from the inside of the microwave. Please dispose of the plastic wrappings / bags safely and
keep out of the reach of babies and young children.
2. Choose a flat, stable work surface for
your microwave away from heat sources
such as radiators or fires and away from
cold areas. The surface should be at least
85cm above the floor. You should allow
a 20 cm space all around the microwave
and 30 cm above so that warm air can
escape from the vents during cooking.
This microwave is not designed to be
built in. Do not block any intake or outlet
openings as this can damage the unit.
3. Plug your microwave into a standard
household electrical socket (230-240V~
50Hz, 13 amp rated). Avoid using a
socket that also has an adapter and other
equipment plugged in. Do not use a
multi-adapter.
4. Put the turntable support inside the
microwave and place the glass turntable
plate on top of the support. The turntable
support is shaped to sit securely on
the spindle. You must always use the
turntable plate and support whenever
you use the microwave.
30cm

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 manual.
Cooking with a Microwave
If you are unsure how long the food should cook, begin cooking at the lowest recommended
time, then add more time if necessary. The moisture content of food can vary. Ensure food is
thoroughly cooked all the way to the centre before serving.
•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 plate so that they cook evenly. Never stack
food in the 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 have not been deboned.
•Meat and poultry which is cooked for 15 minutes or more will brown lightly in its own
fat. Anything cooked for a shorter time can be brushed with a browning sauce to give an
appetising colour.
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. Food can catch
fire if excessive cooking times are used.
•Strips of aluminium foil can be used to cover the thinner pieces of food to stop them from
overcooking before the thicker parts of the food have had the chance to cook. Use the
aluminium foil sparingly and wrap around the food or container carefully to stop it from
touching the inside of the microwave which could cause sparks.
•Microwaves cook food using microwave energy that is similar to naturally occurring radio
waves.
Normally, these “waves” would fade as they disappear into the atmosphere but in a
microwave they are concentrated on the food causing it to heat up.
•Microwave energy cannot pass through metal – so it cannot
escape from the inside of your microwave – 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.
•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.
12
Checking Your Cooking Utensils
Most heat-resistant, non-metallic cooking utensils are safe to use in your microwave. If made of
plastic or glass, utensils will be marked as “microwave safe” or similar.
If you are not sure and/or there is no “microwave safe” marking on the utensil, do NOT use it in
the microwave.
For the types of utensils you can use in the microwave, please see the “Materials That Can Be
Used” section.
• Never use equipment made of metal, except aluminium 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 immediately if any equipment or utensils causes sparks.
• Remember that some crockery has a metal trim around the edge. Even this trim can cause
sparks.
• Never use scratched, cracked or damaged glass in a microwave. Damaged glass can explode.
Using Aluminium Foil in Your Microwave
It is safe to use aluminium foil in your microwave as long as you follow these safety guidelines.
As with all metals, microwave energy cannot pass through aluminium foil, but provided you
keep the aluminium foil away from the inside walls of the microwave it will not cause sparks and
there will not be any damage to your microwave.
Using aluminium foil is a good way of shielding parts of the food that you do not want to cook
as quickly as others – perhaps where the food is narrower and would otherwise overcook.
Place the aluminium foil over the area you want to shield, taking care that the aluminium foil
will not touch the inside walls of the microwave when the turntable plate rotates. Only use one
piece of aluminium foil at a time so that you do not get sparks between the separate pieces.
Follow these guidelines when using aluminium foil in your microwave:
•Remove aluminium foil lids from containers before using in the microwave. Some lids
are made of card with an aluminium 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 plate.
•Use shallow containers with a large surface area. Do not use containers that are more than
1.25in (3.5cm) deep.
•Use gloves when handling any aluminium foil.
•Do not completely cover food with aluminium foil. The microwave energy cannot pass
through the aluminium foil so the food will not cook.
•Do not let aluminium foil touch the inside of the microwave.
•Do not use more than one piece of aluminium foil in the microwave at the same time.
13
Materials that can be Used in the Microwave
UtensilsRemarks
Aluminium foilShielding only. Small smooth pieces can be used to cover thin parts of meat or
poultry to prevent overcooking. Arcing can occur if the foil is too close to oven
walls. The foil should be at least 1 inch (2.5cm) away from oven walls.
Browning dishFollow the manufacturer’s instructions. The bottom of a browning dish must
be at least 3/16 inch (5mm) above the turntable. Incorrect usage may cause
the turntable to break.
DinnerwareMicrowave-safe only. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions. Do not use
cracked or chipped dishes.
Glass jarsAlways remove lid. Use only to heat food until just warm. Most glass jars are
not heat-resistant and may break.
GlasswareHeat-resistant oven glassware only. Make sure there is no metallic trim.
Do not use cracked or chipped dishes.
Oven cooking bagsFollow the manufacturer’s instructions. Do not close with metal tie. Make slits
to allow steam to escape.
Paper plates and cupsUse for short–term cooking/warming only. Do not leave oven unattended
while cooking.
Paper towelsUse to cover food for reheating and absorbing fat. Use with supervision for
short-term cooking only.
Greaseproof paperUse as a cover to prevent splattering or a wrap for steaming.
PlasticMicrowave-safe only. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions. Should be
labelled “Microwave Safe”. Some plastic containers soften, as the food inside
gets hot. “Boiling bags” and tightly closed plastic bags should be slit, pierced or
vented as directed by the instructions on their packaging.
Plastic wrapMicrowave-safe only. Use to cover food during cooking to retain moisture.
Do not allow plastic wrap to touch food.
ThermometersMicrowave-safe only (meat and candy thermometers).
Wax paperUse as a cover to prevent splattering and retain moisture.

Microwave Heating Categories
E
Your microwave has been tested and labelled to meet the UK government’s voluntary
agreement on the reheating of pre-cooked food.
The heating characteristics and output power levels of microwaves are usually calculated using
a relatively large portion of food (1000 gram load, IEC 60705) but many packs of pre-cooked
food are sold in smaller packs, often about 350 grams.
The UK government, in partnership with food companies and microwave manufacturers, has set
up a system of heating categories to help you choose the reheating time for pre-cooked food.
800W
The category (a letter from A to E), is designed to help you reheat small quantities of food such
as microwave ready meals.
The label given above and also on the oven door gives the heating category and output power
of the oven.
Microwave ready meals weighing up to 500g (1lb 2oz) should have cooking instructions for
heating categories A to E. Follow the instructions for the letter that corresponds to the heating
category of the oven.
The higher the output power and heating category of the oven the less heating time is required.
This is shown in the diagrams below:

Check the cooking times for category E on the
food’s packaging to see how long it should be
cooked.

15
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 microwave. It does this through the
vents on the back of the microwave and from around the door.
Condensation
As the steam cools, you may find that condensation
gathers in small pools inside your microwave and
on the work surface beneath the door and vents.
Always dry the microwave after cooking foods with
a high moisture content.
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.

Cleaning your Microwave
Cleaning your microwave each time you use it will help to prevent a build up of stubborn marks
that can be difficult to clean.
Unplug your microwave from the mains and wait for it to completely cool down before cleaning.
On the right hand side wall of the cavity is the wave guide cover. Microwaves are passed
through this to enable your food to cook. It is important that this wave guide cover is kept clean
at all times. Wipe it with mild detergent and water and leave to dry.

Check that:
• the cooking time has been set.
• the door is closed.
• the mains socket is not overloaded causing the fuse to blow.
Check that:
• the correct cooking time has been set.
• the correct power setting has been used.
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.
With microwave cooking, many foods build up enough heat
inside them to continue cooking even after they’ve been taken
out of the microwave. For a short time after cooking the heated
product will continue to cook, leaving products to stand will allow
for even cooking and heat distribution.
First check that the microwave 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 the food has been cooked
properly.
Condensation is perfectly normal, especially when you are
cooking food with a high moisture content such as potatoes.
No. The door has a special metal screen with holes that lets you
see inside but stops microwave energy from getting out.
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.
The microwave will be damaged. Do not switch the microwave
on when there’s nothing inside the microwave. It is a good idea
to keep a cup of water in the microwave just in case someone
accidentally starts the microwave.
Open the door. If the light does not illuminate, the bulb has
probably blown. Call a qualified technician – do not try to change
the bulb yourself.
Yes. Make sure that you are not using any metal utensils and that
your containers don’t have a metal trim. You must not use metal
in your microwave when you cook (except aluminium foil).
No. It is normal for the light to be visible and is nothing to be
concerned about.
Microwaves use radio waves similar to those received by TVs and
radios. You can lessen the interference by moving your microwave
further away from the TV or radio.
