Care & cleaning of your oven
 Important
It is essential for the safe operation of the oven that it is kept clean, and wiped out after each use. Failure to maintain the oven in a clean condition could lead to deterioration of a surface that could adversely affect the life of the appliance and possibly result in a hazardous situation.
1. Switch the oven off before cleaning and unplug at socket if possible.
2. Keep the inside of the oven, door seals and door seal areas clean. When food splatters or spilled liquids adhere to oven walls, door seals and door seal areas wipe off with a damp cloth. Mild detergent may be used if they get very dirty. The use of harsh detergent or abrasives is not recommended. Take care when cleaning around the microwave feed guide.
3. Your oven cavity is constructed of zinc coated steel, painted with an extremely durable coating. After use, the oven interior should be wiped out to remove any remaining water in order to reduce the risk of corrosion to the cavity and door.
The cavity and door can be damaged by abrasive cleaners and sharp objects so care must be taken to avoid damage caused in this way. If the cavity or door become damaged the lining may begin to corrode. Providing the above precautions are taken regarding the cleaning and care of your oven the life of the cavity and door may be extended.
4. The outside oven surface should be cleaned with a damp cloth. To prevent damage to the operating parts inside the oven, water should not be allowed to seep into the ventilation openings.

Important information – read carefully
Safety
If smoke or a Àre occurs in the oven, press Stop/Cancel pad and leave the door closed in order to stiÁe any Áames.
Disconnect the power cord, or shut off the power at the fuse.
Short Cooking Times
As microwave cooking times are much shorter than other cooking methods it is essential that recommended cooking times are not exceeded without Àrst checking the food.
Cooking times given in the cookbook are approximate. Factors that may affect cooking times are: preferred degree of cooking, starting temperature, altitude, volume, size and shape of foods and utensils used. As you become familiar with the oven, you will be able to adjust these factors.
It is better to undercook rather than overcook foods. If food is undercooked, it can always be returned to the oven for further cooking. If food is overcooked, nothing can be done. Always start with minimum cooking times.
 Important
If the recommended cooking times are exceeded the food will be spoiled and in extreme circumstances could catch Àre and possibly damage the interior of the oven.
Small quantities of food
Take care when heating small quantities of food as these can easily burn, dry out or catch Àre if cooked too long. Always set short cooking times and check the food frequently.
Foods low in moisture
Take care when heating foods low in moisture, eg bread items, chocolate, popcorn, biscuits and pastries. These can easily burn, dry out or catch on Àre if cooked too long.
We do not recommend heating foods low in moisture such as popcorn or poppadoms. The oven has been developed for food use. We do not recommend that it is used for heating non food items such as wheat bags or hot water bottles.
Christmas Pudding
Christmas puddings and other foods high in fats or sugar, eg. jam, mince pies, must not be over heated. These foods must never be left unattended as with over cooking these foods can ignite.
Boiled Eggs
Eggs in their shell and whole hard boiled eggs should not be heated in microwave ovens since they may explode even after microwave heating has ended.
Foods with Skins
Potatoes, apples, egg yolk, whole vegetables and sausages are examples of food with non porous skins These must be pierced using a fork before cooking to prevent bursting.
 WARNING!
Liquids and other foods must not be heated in sealed containers since they are liable to explode.
NEVER OPERATE THE OVEN WITHOUT FOOD INSIDE.

IP3708_3BA10BP_03_110705.indd 8IP3708_3BA10BP_03_110705.indd 8 2011-7-5 11:56:482011-7-5 11:56:48
Important information – read carefully
Liquids
When heating liquids, e.g. soup, sauces and beverages in your microwave oven, overheating the liquid beyond boiling point can occur without evidence of bubbling.
This could result in a sudden boil over of the hot liquid. To prevent this possibility the following steps should be taken:
a) Avoid using straight-sided containers with narrow necks. b) Do not overheat. c) Stir the liquid before placing the container in the oven and again halfway through the heating time. d) After heating, allow to stand in the oven for a short time, stirring again before carefully removing the container. e) Microwave heating of beverages can result in delayed eruptive boiling, therefore care should be taken when handling the container.
Lids
Always remove the lids of jars and containers and takeaway food containers before you microwave them. If you don’t then steam and pressure might build up inside and cause an explosion even after the microwave cooking has stopped.
Deep Fat Frying
Do not attempt to deep fat fry in your oven.
Meat Thermometer
Use a meat thermometer to check the degree of cooking of joints and poultry only when meat has been removed from the microwave. If undercooked, return to the oven and cook for a few more minutes at the recommended power level. Do not leave a conventional meat thermometer in the oven when microwaving.
Paper, Plastic
When heating food in plastic or paper containers keep an eye on the oven due to the possibility of ignition. Do not use wire twist-ties with roasting bags as arcing will occur. Do not use recycled paper products, e.g. kitchen roll unless they say they are speciÀcally designed for use in a microwave oven. These products contain impurities which may cause sparks and/or Àres when used.
Reheating
It is essential that reheated food is served ´piping hotµ. Remove the food from the oven and check that it is ´piping hotµ, i.e. steam is being emitted from all parts and any sauce is bubbling. (If you wish you may choose to check the food has reached 75ÝC with a food thermometer – but remember do not use this thermometer inside the microwave).
For foods that cannot be stirred, e.g. lasagne, shepherds pie, the centre should be cut with a knife to test it is well heated through. Even if a manufacturer’s packet instructions have been followed always check the food is piping hot before serving and if in doubt return your food to the oven for further heating.
Standing Time
Standing time refers to the period at the end of cooking or reheating when food is left before being eaten, i.e. it is a rest time which allows the heat in the food to continue to conduct to the centre, thus eliminating cold spots.
Keeping Your Oven Clean
It is essential for the safe operation of the oven that it is wiped out regularly. Use warm soapy water, squeeze the cloth out well and use to remove any grease or food from the interior. Pay particular attention to the door seal area and also the areas around the microwave feed guide situated on the right hand side of the cavity wall. The oven should be unplugged when cleaning.

Important information – read carefully
Fan Motor operation
After using the oven the fan motor may rotate for a few minutes to cool the electric components. This is normal and you can take out food even though the fan motor operates. You can continue using the oven during this time.
Utensils/ Containers
Before use check that utensils/containers are suitable for use in microwave ovens. See pages 15-16.
Babies Bottles and Food Jars
When reheating babies bottles always remove top and teat. Liquid at the top of the bottle will be much hotter than that at the bottom and must be shaken thoroughly before checking the temperature. The lid must also be removed from babies food jars, the contents must also be stirred or shaken before the temperature is checked. This should be carried out before consumption to avoid burns. See page 19-20.
Arcing
Arcing may occur if a metal container has been used accidentally or if the incorrect weight of food is used or the grill rack has been damaged. Arcing is when blue Áashes of light are seen in the microwave oven. If this occurs, stop the machine immediately. If the oven is left unattended and this continues it can damage the machine.
Maximum weight on Turntable
The maximum weight that can be placed on the turntable is 3Kg (6lb 10oz) (this includes total weight of food and dish).

Microwaving principles
Microwave energy has been used in this country to cook and reheat food since early experiments with radar in World War II.
Microwaves are present in the atmosphere all the time, both naturally and from manmade sources. Manmade sources include radar, radio, television, telecommunication links and mobile phones.
In a microwave oven, electricity is converted into microwaves by the MAGNETRON.
How Microwaves cook food
The microwaves cause the water molecules to vibrate which causes FRICTION, i.e. HEAT. This heat then cooks the food. Microwaves are also attracted to fat and sugar particles, and foods high in these will cook more quickly. Microwaves can only penetrate to a depth of 1½ -2 inches (4-5 cm) and as heat spreads through the food by conduction, just as in a traditional oven, the food cooks from the outside inwards.
Turntable
Oven Cavity
 Important notes
The dish used to cook or reheat the food will get warm during cooking, as the heat conducts from the food. Even in micro­waving, oven gloves are required!
MICROWAVES CANNOT PASS THROUGH META/ AND THERE FORE META/ COOKING UTEN SI/S CAN NEVER BE USED IN A MICROWAVE, FOR COOKING ON MICROWAVE ON/Y.
ReÅection
The microwaves bounce off the metal walls and the metal door screen.
Transmission
Then they pass through the cooking containers to be absorbed by the water molecules in the food, all foods contain water to a more or lesser extent.
Foods Not Suitable for Cooking by Microwave Only
Yorkshire Puddings and SoufÁes. This is because these foods rely on dry external heat to cook correctly, do not attempt to cook by micro wave.
Magnetron
Waveguide
Foods that require deep fat frying cannot be cooked either.
Standing Time
When a microwave oven is switched off, the food will continue to cook by conduction – NOT BY MICROWAVE ENERGY. Hence STANDING TIME is very important in microwaving, particularly for dense foods i.e. meat, cakes and reheated meals (refer to page 13).
 Boiled Eggs
Do not boil eggs in your microwave. Raw eggs boiled in their shells can explode and cause serious injury.
