Safety
If smoke or a fire occurs in the oven, press Stop/Cancel pad or turn TIMER SELECT Dial back to zero position and leave the door closed in order to stifle any flames. Disconnect the power cord, or shut off the power at the fuse or the circuit breaker panel.
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 first 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 fire and possibly damage the interior of the oven.
1. Small quantities of food.
Take care when heating small quantities of food as these can easily burn, dry out or catch fire if cooked too long. Always set short cooking times and check the food frequently.
NEVER OPERATE THE OVEN WITHOUT FOOD INSIDE.
2. 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 fire if cooked too long. We do not recommend heating foods low in moisture such as popcorn or poppadoms. This 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
English
3. 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. See pages 23-24.
4. 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.
5. 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.
6. Liquids.
Liquids and other foods must not be heated in sealed containers since they are liable to explode. When heating liquids, eg 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.
7. Lids.
Always remove the lids of jars and containers and takeaway food containers before you microwave them. If you donʼt then steam and pressure might build up inside and cause an explosion even after the microwave cooking has stopped.
8. Deep Fat Frying.
Do not attempt to deep fat fry in your oven.
En-5
Important Information – Read Carefully
9. 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.
10. 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 re-cycled paper products, eg Kitchen roll unless they say they are specifically designed for use in a microwave oven. These products contain impurities which may cause sparks and/or fires when used.
11. Reheating.
It is essential that reheated food is served “piping hot”.
Remove the food from the oven and check that it is “piping hot”, ie steam is being emitted from all parts and any sauce is bubbling. (If you wish 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, eg lasagne, shepherds pie, the centre should be cut with a knife to test it is well heated through. Even if a manufacturerʼs 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.
12. Standing Time.
Standing time refers to the period at the end of cooking or reheating when food is left before being eaten, ie. it is a rest time which allows the heat in the food to continue to conduct to the centre, thus eliminating cold spots. See page 10 and 19.
13. 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.
14. Utensils.
Before use check that utensils/containers are suitable for use in microwave ovens. See pages 12-13.
15. 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 23.
16. Arcing.
Arcing may occur if a metal container has been used accidentally or if the incorrect weight of food is used. Arcing is when blue flashes 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.
17. Maximum Weight on Turntable
The maximum weight that can be placed on the turntable is 3 Kg (6 lb 10 oz) (this includes total weight of food and dish).
En-6
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 car phones.
How Microwaves cook food
Oven cavity
Turntable
The microwaves cause the water molecules to vibrate which causes FRICTION, ie. 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 11⁄2 -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.
13 Amp fused socket
Wave Guide
Magnetron
In a microwave oven, electricity is converted into microwaves by the MAGNETRON
REFLECTION
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.
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 micro waving, oven gloves are required!
MICROWAVES CANNOT PASS THROUGH METAL AND THERE FORE METAL COOKING UTEN SILS CAN NEVER BE USED IN A MICROWAVE, FOR COOKING ON MICROWAVE ONLY
Foods Not Suitable for Cooking by Microwave Only
Yorkshire Puddings, Souffles, Double Crust Pastry Pies.
This is because these foods rely on dry external heat to cook correctly, do not attempt to cook by micro wave.
Foods that require deep fat frying cannot be cooked either.
Boiled Eggs
Do not boil eggs in your microwave. Raw eggs boiled in their shells can explode and cause serious injury.
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 10).

Parts of Your Oven
1. Do not operate the oven without the Roller
Ring and Glass Turntable in place.
2. Only use the Glass Turntable specifically designed for this oven. Do not substitute with any other Glass Turntable.
3. If Glass Turntable is hot, allow to cool before cleaning or placing in water.
4. Do not cook directly on Glass Turntable. Always place food in a microwave safe dish. The only exception to this is when cooking Jacket Potatoes or Auto Program Jacket Potatoes.
External Air Vents
See-through Oven Window
5. If food or utensils on the glass turntable
touch the oven walls this will cause the turntable to stop moving. It will then automatically rotate in the opposite direction. This is normal. Open oven door, reposition the food and restart.
6. The Glass Turntable can rotate in either direction. The maximum weight that can be placed on the turntable is 3 Kg (6 lb 10 oz) (this includes total weight of food and dish).
7. While cooking by MICROWAVE the turntable may vibrate. This will not affect cooking performance.
8. Arcing may occur if the incorrect weight of food is used or a metal container has been used accidentally. If this occurs, stop the machine immediately.
Glass Turntable
The glass turntable and roller ring are the only accessories used for Microwave Cooking.

General Guidelines
STANDING TIME
Dense foods e.g. meat, jacket potatoes and cakes, require standing time (inside or outside of the oven) after cook ing, to allow heat to finish con ducting to cook the centre completely. Wrap meat joints and jacket potatoes in aluminium foil while standing. Meat joints need approx. 10­15 minutes, jacket potatoes 5 minutes. Other foods such as plated meals, vegetables, fish 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. See pages 18-20.
QUANTITY
Small quantities cook faster than large quantities, also small meals will reheat more quickly than large portions.
SPACING
DENSITY
Porous airy foods heat more quickly than dense heavy foods.
CLING FILM
Cling film helps keep the food moist and the trapped steam assists in speeding up cooking times. Pierce before cooking to allow excess steam to escape. Always take care when removing cling film from a dish as the build-up of steam will be very hot.
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 es cape. Eggs, potatoes, apples, sausages etc, will all need to be pierced before cooking. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO BOIL EGGS IN THEIR SHELLS.
Foods cook more quickly and evenly if spaced apart. NEVER pile foods on top of each other.
MOISTURE CONTENT
Many fresh foods e.g. veget ables and fruit, vary in their moisture content throughout the season, particularly jacket potatoes. For this reason cooking times may have to be adjusted. Dry ingredients e.g. rice, pasta, can dry out during storage so cooking times may differ.
En-10
COVERING
Cover foods with microwave cling film or a lid. Cover fish, vegetables, cas seroles, soups. Do not cover cakes, sauces, jacket potatoes or pastry items.
General Guidelines
English
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.
LIQUIDS
All liquids must be stirred before, during and after heating. Water espe cially must be stirred
before and during heating, to avoid eruption. Do not heat liquids that have previously been boiled. DO NOT OVERHEAT.
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 PROGRAM has been used (just as you would check food cooked in a conven tional oven). Return the food to the oven for further cooking if necessary.
DISH SIZE
Follow the dish sizes given in the recipes, as these affect the cook ing and reheating times. A quan tity of food spread in a bigger dish cooks and reheats more quickly.
TURNING AND STIRRING
Some foods require stirring during cooking. Meat and poultry should be turned after half the cooking time.
CLEANING
As microwaves work on food particles, keep your oven clean at all times. Stubborn spots of food can be removed by using a branded microwave spray cleaner, sprayed onto a soft cloth. Always wipe the oven dry after cleaning.
En-11
Containers to use
Choosing the correct container is a very important factor in deciding the success or failure of your cooking.
Testing Dishes for Suitability
When unsure that a cooking con tainer is suitable for use in your microwave, check by the follow ing test:
1. Fill a microwave safe measur ing jug with 300ml
1
(
pt) cold water.
2
2. Place it on the turntable along side the dish to be tested. If the dish you are testing is a large dish, then stand the measur ing jug on top of the empty dish.
3. Heat on HIGH power for 1 minute.
Quick Check Guide to Cooking Utensils
Result
If the dish is suitable for micro ­waving, it will remain cool, whilst the water in the jug will begin to feel warm. If the testing dish feels warm, do not use as it is obvious ly absorbing microwave energy.
N.B. This test does not apply to plastic or metal based con tainers e.g. Le Creuset style dishes, which should not be used as they are cast iron covered with enamel.
®
OVEN GLASS
Glass that is heat resistant e.g. Pyrex®, is ideal. Do not use delicate 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 periods, otherwise the change in tempera ture may crack the dish or craze the finish. 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
food.
FOIL/METAL CONTAINERS
NEVER ATTEMPT TO COOK IN FOIL OR METAL con tai ners – 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.
En-12
Containers to use
PLASTIC
Many plastic containers are designed for microwave use. Only use Tupperware 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 times 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 cover ing bacon to prevent splattering ONLY USE FOR SHORT COOKING TIMES. NEVER RE-USE A PIECE OF KITCHEN TOWEL. Avoid kitchen paper containing manmade fibres. Check that branded re-cycled kitchen towel is recommended for microwave use. Do not use waxed or plastic coated cups as the finish 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 RE HEATING TIMES.
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. Do not use wooden dishes in your microwave.
CLING FILM
Use microwave cling film to cover food that is to be reheated, or cooked, taking care to avoid the film being in direct contact with the food.
ALUMINIUM FOIL
Small amounts of smooth aluminium foil can be used to SHIELD joints of meat during defrosting and cooking. 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.

Bread
This program is suitable for small items which are required for immediate use, they may feel warm straight after defrosting. Loaves can also be defrosted on this program 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 PROGRAM IS NOT SUITABLE FOR CREAM CAKES OR DESSERTS e.g. cheesecake. See defrosting charts on page 19 for standing times.
Meat Items (mince/chops/chicken portions)
It is necessary for mince to be broken up frequently during defrosting and this is best carried out in a large shallow dish.
THIS PROGRAM IS NOT SUITABLE FOR SAUSAGES, these can be defrosted manually using Defrost power and time. Chops and chicken portions should be arranged in a single layer and turned frequently during defrosting. See defrosting charts on page 19 for standing times.
Meat Joints / Whole Chickens
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. 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
.

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 food.
4. Always turn or stir the food especially when the oven “beepsʼʼ. Shield if necessary (see point 6).
5. Minced meat, chops and other small items should be broken up or separated as soon as
possible and placed in a single layer.
6. Shielding prevents food cooking. It is essential when defrosting chickens and joints of meat. The outside thaws out first, so protect wings/breast and fat 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).
Arrange food in a single layer.
Turn or break up food as soon as possible.

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 and will taste freshly cooked and NOT leftover. 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.
The charts on pages 2 -2 show you the best way to cook or reheat your favourite foods. The best method depends on the type of food.
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.
37
When is food reheated?
Food that has been reheated or cooked should be served “piping hot” i.e. steam should be visibly emitted from all parts. As long as good hygiene practices have been followed during the prepa ra tion and storage of the food, then cooking or reheating presents no safety risks.
Foods that cannot be stirred should be cut with a knife to test that they are adequately heated throughout. Even if a manufac tur erʼs instructions or the times in the cookbook have been followed, it is still important to check the food is heated thoroughly. If in doubt, always return to the oven for further reheating.
If you cannot find the equivalent food in the chart then choose a similar type and size listed and adjust the cooking time if necessary.
PLATED MEALS
Everyoneʼs 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 4-7 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.
MINCE PIES - CAUTION
REMEMBER even if the pastry is cold to the touch, the filling 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 filling. Check the temperature of the filling before consuming to avoid burning your mouth.
CHRISTMAS PUDDINGS AND LIQUIDS - CAUTION
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 fl.oz. of milk from fridge temperature, remove top and teat. Heat on HIGH power for 30-50 secs.
CHECK CAREFULLY.
For 3 fl.oz. of milk from fridge temperature, remove top and teat. Heat on HIGH power for 15-20 secs.
CHECK CAREFULLY
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 BABIESʼ 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.
