Accessories

The oven comes equipped with a variety of accessories. Always follow the directions given for use of the accessories.

Roller ring



The roller ring and the oven oor

should be cleaned frequently to prevent noise and build-up of remaining food.



The roller ring must always be used for cooking together with the glass tray.

Glass tray



Always operate the oven with the roller ring and glass tray in place.



Only use the glass tray

specically designed for this

oven. Do not substitute with any other glass tray.



If the glass tray is hot, let it cool before cleaning or placing in water.



The glass tray can turn in either direction.



If the food or cooking vessel on the glass tray touches the oven walls and stops the tray rotating, the tray will automatically rotate in the opposite direction. This is normal. Open oven door, reposition the food and restart.



Do not cook foods directly on the glass tray unless indicated in recipes. Always place food in a microwave safe dish.



While cooking, the glass tray may vibrate. This will not affect cooking performance.

Page 7

Important

If the recommended cooking time is exceeded, the food will be spoiled and in extreme

circumstances could catch re

and possibly damage the interior of the oven.

Short cooking time

As microwave cooking time is much shorter than other cooking methods, it is essential that recommended cooking time is not

exceeded without rst checking the

food.

Factors that may affect cooking time 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 time.

Small quantities of food

Take care when heating small quantities of food as these can

easily burn, dry out or catch re if

cooked too long. Always set short cooking time and check the food frequently.

Foods low in moisture

Take care when heating foods low in moisture, e.g. bread items, chocolate, popcorn, biscuits and pastries. These can easily burn,

dry out or catch on re if cooked

too long. We do not recommend heating foods low in moisture such as popcorn or bread. This oven has been developed for food use only. We do not recommend to use for heating non food items such as wheat bags or hot water bottles.

Reheating

It is essential that reheated food is served “piping hot”.

Remove the food from the oven and check that it is “piping hot”, i.e. steam is being emitted from all parts and all sauce is bubbling.

(You may choose to check the food

has reached 72 °C 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.

Page 8

Important safety instructions

Lids

Always remove the lids of jars and containers and takeaway food containers before you microwave the food. If the lid remains, then steam and pressure might build up inside and cause an explosion even after the microwave cooking has stopped.

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. This should be carried out before consumption to avoid burns. See page 41.

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.

Paper and 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 re-cycled paper products, e.g. Kitchen roll unless they say they

are specically designed for use in a

microwave oven. These products contain impurities which may cause

sparks and/or res when used.

Liquids

Microwave heating of beverages can result in delayed eruptive boiling, therefore care should be taken when handling the container. To prevent the possibility of sudden boil 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.

Deep fat frying

Do not attempt to deep fat fry in your oven.

Arcing

Arcing may occur accidentally if a metal container has been used or the incorrect weight of food is used.

Arcing is ashes of blue light 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.

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.

Page 9

General guidelines

CLEANING

As microwaves work on food particles, keep your oven clean at all times. Stubborn spots of food can be removed by using a microwave spray cleaner, sprayed onto a soft cloth. Always wipe the oven dry after cleaning. Refer to “Care of your oven” on page 43 for details on cleaning. The warranty only applies if the product has been used in accordance with the operating instructions under normal use and reasonable care.

STANDING TIME

Dense foods e.g. meat, jacket potatoes and cakes, require standing time (inside or outside of the oven) after

cooking, to allow heat to nish

conducting to the centre of the food to cook through completely. Wrap meat joints and jacket potatoes in aluminium foil while standing. Meat joints need approx. 10–15 minutes, jacket potatoes 5 minutes. Other foods such as plated

meals, vegetables, sh etc. require

2–5 minutes standing. If food is not cooked after standing time, return to the oven and cook for additional time. After defrosting food, standing time should also be allowed.

QUANTITY

SPACING

Foods cook more quickly and evenly if

spaced apart. NEVER pile foods on top

of each other.

PIERCING

The skin or membrane on some foods will cause steam to build up during cooking. These foods must be pierced or a strip of skin should be peeled off before cooking to allow the steam to escape. Eggs, potatoes, apples, sausages etc, will all need to be pierced before cooking. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO BOIL EGGS IN THEIR SHELLS.

COVERING

Small quantities cook faster than large quantities, and small meals will reheat more quickly than large portions.

Cover foods with microwave cling lm or a lid. Cover sh, vegetables,

casseroles, soups. Do not cover cakes, sauces, jacket potatoes or pastry items.

Page 10

General guidelines

MOISTURE CONTENT

Many fresh foods e.g. vegetables and fruit, vary in their moisture content throughout the season. For this reason cooking time may have to be adjusted. Dry ingredients e.g. rice, pasta, can dry out during storage so cooking time may differ.

DENSITY

Porous airy foods heat more quickly than dense heavy foods.

SHAPE

Even shapes cook evenly. Food cooks better by microwave when in a round container rather than square.

STARTING TEMPERATURE

The colder the food, the longer it takes to heat up. Food from a fridge takes longer to reheat than food at room temperature. Food temperature should be between 5 and 8 °C before cooking.

ARRANGING

Individual foods e.g. chicken portions or chops, should be placed on a dish so that the thicker parts are towards the outside.

CHECKING FOOD

It is essential that food is checked during and after a recommended cooking time, even if an AUTO PROGRAMME has been used (just as you would check food cooked in a conventional oven). Return the food to the oven for further cooking if necessary.

DISH SIZE

LIQUIDS

All liquids must be STIRRED BEFORE, DURING AND AFTER heating. Water must be stirred before and during heating, to avoid eruption. Do not heat liquids that have previously

been boiled. DO NOT OVERHEAT.

TURNING AND STIRRING

Some foods require stirring during cooking. Meat and poultry should be turned after half of the cooking time.

Follow the dish sizes given in the recipes, as these affect the cooking and reheating times. A quantity of food spread in a bigger dish cooks and reheats faster.

CLING FILM

Cling lm helps keep the food moist

and the trapped steam assists in speeding up cooking time. Pierce before cooking to allow excess steam to escape. Always take care when

removing cling lm from a dish as the

build-up of steam will be very hot.

Page 11

Containers to use

Choosing the correct container is a very important factor in deciding the success or failure of your cooking.

OVEN GLASS

Glass that is heat resistant e.g. Pyrex used. Do not use glass which may crack due to the heat from the food. Do not use lead crystal which may crack or arc.

CHINA AND CERAMIC

Glazed china plates, saucers, bowls, mugs and cups can be used if they are heat resistant. Porcelain and ceramic are also ideal. Fine bone china should only be used for reheating for short period of time, otherwise the change in temperature may crack the dish or craze the

nish. Do not use dishes with a metal rim or pattern. Do not use

jugs or mugs with glued handles, since the glue can melt in a microwave.

POTTERY, EARTHENWARE, STONEWARE

Only use if completely glazed. Do not use if partially glazed or unglazed, as they are able to absorb water which will absorb microwave energy, making the container very hot and slowing down the cooking of food.

FOIL/METAL CONTAINERS

NEVER ATTEMPT TO COOK IN FOIL OR METAL containers –

the microwaves cannot pass through and the food will not heat evenly – this may also damage your oven. Use wooden kebab sticks instead of metal skewers.

, is ideal, and can be

CLING FILM

Use microwave cling lm to cover food that is to be reheated, or cooked, ON MICROWAVE ONLY taking care to avoid the lm being in direct contact with the food.

Page 12

Containers to use

PLASTIC

Many plastic containers are designed for microwave use. Only use containers if they are designed for microwave use. Do not use Melamine as it will scorch. Do not use plastic for cooking foods high in sugar or fat or foods that require long cooking time e.g. brown rice. Never cook in margarine containers or yogurt pots, as these will melt with the heat from the food.

PAPER

Plain white kitchen paper (kitchen towel) can be used for covering blind pastry cases and for covering bacon to

prevent splattering ONLY USE FOR SHORT COOKING TIME. NEVER RE-USE A PIECE OF KITCHEN TOWEL. Avoid kitchen paper containing manmade bers. Check

that branded re-cycled kitchen towel is recommended for microwave use. Do not use waxed or plastic coated cups

as the nish may melt in the oven. Greaseproof paper can

be used to line the base of dishes and to cover fatty foods. White paper plates can be used for SHORT REHEATING

TIMES, ON MICROWAVE ONLY.

WICKER, WOOD, STRAW BASKETS

Do not use these items in your microwave. With continued use and with prolonged exposure they will crack and could ignite.

ALUMINIUM FOIL

Small amounts of smooth aluminium foil can be used to SHIELD joints of meat during defrosting. As the microwaves cannot pass through the foil this prevents the shielded parts from overcooking or overdefrosting. The foil must not touch the sides or roof of the oven, as this may cause arching and damage your oven.

ROASTING BAGS

These are useful when slit up one side to tent a joint of meat when roasting by power and time. DO NOT USE THE METAL TWISTS SUPPLIED.

Programme Instructions

Weight: 100-600 g Accessories:

For small items which are required for immediate use, they may feel warm straight after defrosting. Loaves can also be defrosted on this programme but these will require standing time to allow the centre to thaw out. Standing time can be shortened if slices are separated and buns and loaves cut in half. Items should be turned halfway during defrosting. THIS PROGRAMME IS NOT SUITABLE FOR CREAM CAKES OR DESSERTS e.g. cheesecake.

Weight: 200-1000 g Accessories: NOT SUITABLE FOR SAUSAGES, which can be defrosted

manually using defrost power and time. Chops and chicken

(mince/chops/

chicken portions)

portions should be arranged in a single layer and turned frequently during defrosting. It is necessary for mince to be broken up frequently during defrosting and this is best carried out in a large shallow dish.

Page 22

Auto programmes

Programme Instructions

Weight: 600-1600 g Accessories:

Whole chickens and meat joints will require shielding during defrosting especially if it is a particularly fatty piece. This is to prevent food starting to cook on the outside edges.

(Whole Chickens,

etc.)

Defrosting guidelines

For Best Results:

1. Place foods in a suitable container. Meat joints and chickens should be placed on an upturned saucer or on a plastic rack if you have one.

2. Check food during defrosting, as foods vary in their defrosting speed.

3. It is not necessary to cover the whole food (see point 6).

4. Always turn or stir the food halfway. Shield if necessary (see point 6).

5. Minced meat, chops and other small items should be broken up or separated and placed in a single layer.

6. Shielding prevents food from cooking. It is essential when defrosting chickens and joints of meat.

The outside thaws out rst, so protect wings/breast/fat/bones with smooth

pieces of aluminium foil secured with cocktail sticks.

7. Allow standing time so that the centre of the food thaws out (minimum of 1 hour for joints of meat and whole chickens).

Protect wings, breast and fat with smooth pieces of aluminium foil secured with cocktail sticks. DO NOT ALLOW

THE FOIL TO TOUCH THE WALLS OF THE OVEN.

Standing time of at least 1 hour should be allowed for joints after defrosting.

Arrange food in a single layer.

Turn or break up food as soon as possible.

Shield chickens and joints of meat.

Cooking and reheating guidelines

Most foods reheat very quickly in your oven by HIGH power. Meals can be brought back to serving temperature in just minutes.

Always check food is piping hot and return to oven if necessary.

As a general rule, always cover wet foods, e.g. soups, casseroles and plated meals.

Do not cover dry foods e.g. bread rolls, mince pies, sausage rolls, etc.

Remember when cooking or reheating any food that it should be stirred or turned wherever possible. This ensures even cooking or reheating on the outside and in the centre.

MINCE PIES - CAUTION

REMEMBER even if the pastry is cold to the touch, the

lling will be piping hot and will warm the pastry through.

Take care not to overheat otherwise burning can occur

due to the high fat and sugar content of the lling. Check the temperature of the lling before consuming to avoid

burning your mouth.

PUDDINGS AND LIQUIDS - CAUTION

Puddings and other foods high in fats or sugar, e.g. jam, mince pies, must not be over heated. These foods must never be left unattended as with over cooking these foods can ignite. Take great care when reheating these items.

Do not leave unattended. Do not add extra alcohol.

BABIES BOTTLES - CAUTION

Milk or formula MUST be shaken thoroughly before heating and again at the end and tested carefully before feeding a baby.

For 7-8 . oz. of milk from fridge temperature, remove top

and teat. Heat on HIGH power for 30-50 secs.

CHECK CAREFULLY BEFORE FEED.

For 3 . oz. of milk from fridge temperature, remove top

and teat. Heat on HIGH power for 10-20 secs.

CHECK CAREFULLY BEFORE FEED.

N.B. Liquid at top of bottle will be much hotter than at bottom. The bottle must be shaken thoroughly and tested before use.

WE DO NOT RECOMMEND THAT YOU USE YOUR MICROWAVE TO STERILISE BABIES’ BOTTLES.

If you have a special microwave steriliser, we urge extreme caution, due to the low quantity of water involved. It is vital to follow the manufacturers instructions implicitly.

PLATED MEALS

Everyone’s appetite varies and reheat times depend on meal contents. Dense items e.g. mashed potato, should be spread out well. If a lot of gravy is added, extra time may be required. Place denser items to the outside of the plate. Between 2-4 mins. on HIGH power will reheat an average portion. Do not stack meals.

CANNED FOODS

Remove foods from can and place in a suitable dish before heating.

SOUPS

Use a bowl and stir before heating and at least once through reheat time and again at the end.

CASSEROLES

Stir halfway through and again at the end of heating.

Questions and answers

Q: Why won’t my oven turn on?

A: When the oven does not turn on,

check the following:

1. Is the oven plugged in securely?

Remove the plug from the outlet, wait 10 seconds and reinsert.

2. Check the circuit breaker and the

fuse. Reset the circuit breaker or replace the fuse if it is tripped or blown.

3. If the circuit breaker or fuse is all

right, plug another appliance into the outlet. If the other appliance works, there probably is a problem with the oven. If the other appliance does not work, there probably is a problem with the outlet. If it seems that there is a problem with the oven, contact an authorised Service Centre.

Q: My oven causes interference

with my TV. Is this normal?

A: Some radio and TV interference

might occur when you cook with the oven. This interference is similar to the interference caused by small appliances such as mixers, vacuums, blow dryers, etc. It does not indicate a problem with your oven.

Q: Can I use a conventional oven

thermometer in the oven?

A: The metal in some thermometers

may cause arcing in your oven and should not be used in a microwave oven.

Q: The oven won’t accept my

programme. Why?

A: The oven is designed not to accept

an incorrect programme. For example, the oven will not accept a 4th stage.

Q: Sometimes warm air comes from

the oven vents. Why?

A: The heat given off from the cooking

food warms the air in the oven cavity. This warmed air is carried

out of the oven by the air ow

pattern in the oven. There are no microwaves in the air. The oven vents should never be blocked during cooking.

Page 45

Care of your oven

1. The oven should be unplugged

before cleaning.

2. Clean the inside of the oven, door

seals and door seal areas regularly. When food splatters or spilled liquids adhere to the 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 abrasive is not recommended. Avoid cleaning the microwave feed guide area situated on the right hand side of the cavity wall. DO NOT USE COMMERCIAL

OVEN CLEANERS.

3. Do not use harsh, abrasive

cleaners or sharp metal scrapers to clean the oven door glass since they can scratch the surface, which may result in shattering the glass.

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.

5. If the Control Panel becomes dirty,

clean it with a soft cloth. Do not use harsh detergents or abrasives on the Control Panel. When cleaning the Control Panel leave the oven door open to prevent the oven from accidentally turning on. After cleaning press Stop/Reset to clear display window.

6. If steam accumulates inside or

around the outside of the oven door, wipe with a soft cloth. This may occur when the oven is operated under high humidity conditions and in no way indicates a malfunction of the unit.

7. It is occasionally necessary to remove the glass tray for cleaning. Wash the tray in warm soapy water or in a dishwasher.

8. The roller ring and oven cavity oor should be cleaned regularly to avoid excessive noise. Simply wipe the bottom surface of the oven with mild detergent and hot water then dry with a clean cloth. The roller ring may be washed in mild soapy water. Cooking vapours collect during repeated use but in no way affect the bottom surface or roller ring wheels. After removing the

roller ring from the cavity oor for

cleaning, be sure to replace it in the proper position.

9. A steam cleaner is not to be used for cleaning.

10. This oven should only be serviced

by qualied personnel. For

maintenance and repair of the oven contact the nearest authorised dealer.

11. Failure to maintain the oven in a clean condition could lead to deterioration of surfaces that could affect the life of the appliance and possibly result in a hazardous situation.

12. Keep air vents clean at all times. Check that no dust or other material is blocking any of the air vents on the top, bottom or rear of the oven. If air vents become blocked this could cause overheating which would affect the operation of the oven and possibly result in a hazardous situation.
