Getting Ready
This microwave is designed for home use. 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 of 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 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 microwave 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 microwave into a standard household electrical socket. Avoid using a socket that also has an adaptor and other equipment plugged in. Do not use a multi adaptor.
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.

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.
• 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 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 have not been deboned.
• 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 aluminium foil sparingly and wrap around the food or container carefully to stop it 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 disappeared into the atmosphere but in a microwave 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 – 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.

L20MS10_IB_final110113.indd 6 13/01/2011 9:54 AM
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:
1. Put the utensil into the microwave next to a cup of water – use a cup that you know is microwave safe. Close the door.
2. Turn the microwave on for 30 seconds only.
3. After 30 seconds, 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 microwave.
4. Do not use your hands to touch the utensil as it may already be hot.
• Never use equipment made of metal, except aluminium foil in your microwave.
• The microwave energy can not pass through the metal so it bounces off and sparks against the
inside of the microwave.
• 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.
• 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 side 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 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 sides 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 a 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 hot aluminium foil containers.
• 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.

Microwave Heating Categories
Your microwave 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 microwaves 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.

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.

power lead and the microwave. Wipe with a damp cloth and leave to dry before plugging it back in.
10
Treat the glass turntable plate as you would any glass plate. After you have used it for more than 15 minutes, allow it to cool down before you use it again. Do not wash the glass turntable plate in very hot water, doing so could crack it. Wash the turntable support in warm water. Do not use very hot water which could make it warp. Make sure the glass turntable plate and turntable support are dry before you put them back in the microwave.
Do not remove any fixed parts from the inside of your microwave during cleaning or at any other time.

Frequently Asked Questions
If a problem does occur, it may often be due to something very minor. The following Q & A may be able to resolve the problem.
Questions Answers
Why doesn’t the food seem to cook?
Why does the food seem undercooked or overcooked?
How can I stop eggs from popping? When you bake or poach eggs in the microwave, the yolk can
Why is it so important that I allow standing time after cooking?
Why does my microwave sometimes take longer to cook than it says in the recipe?
Why do I get condensation on the inside of the door?
Does the microwave energy get through the window on the door?
Steam comes out of the side of the door and vents. Can microwave energy get out too?
What happens if the microwave is switched on while the microwave is empty?
Why doesn’t the microwave’s light illuminate?
There are sparks inside the microwave when I use the microwave. Will this cause any damage?
Light is showing through the vents and door. Does this mean the microwave energy can escape?
Why do I get interference on my TV and radio when I use the microwave?
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. Because microwave cooking works from the outside of food inwards, standing time lets you cook the centre of the food without the outside being overcooked.
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 in 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.
