cooking can also help preserve the minerals and vitamins in
manyfoods.
The microwavepoweroutput ofyour ovenis800 watts.
Because the temperature in a microwave oven is relatively cool
(unlike a normal oven) you have to remember that the food can
be extremely hot. Always take precautions when handling
containers.
Radio Interference
Operation of themicrowave oven can cause interference to your
radio,TV or similarequipment. When there isinterference, itmay
be reduced or eliminatedby taking the following measures:
Clean the doorand sealingsurface ofthe oven.
$
Reorient the receiving antenna ofradio ortelevision.
$
$
Relocate the microwaveovenwith respect tothe receiver.
$
Move the microwaveovenaway from the receiver.

Metal Foil Containers
(
*Combinationreferstomicrowave+grillcooking)
Use heat resistant porcelain, glass or plastic containers made for
microwave ovens, otherwise there is a risk of shrinking,
deforming or burning. Metal containers, or containers having
metal decoration or trim are not suitable for use with your
microwaveoven.
When you are combination cooking, the container must be fully
heatproof as wellas suitablefor microwavecooking.
Avoid containers which narrow at the top as these maycause the
contents to eruptwhen removedfromthe oven.
Tesco stores stock a wide range of microwave containers and
wraps designed for microwave ovens. Plastic films should not
touch food as they may gas, melt or break down when hot and
contaminate food.
Wax paper, oven cooking bags, parchment paper and white
microwave paper towels are safe for microwave use. Wooden
objects may catch fire - soavoid theiruse.
Do not use aluminium foil for microwave cooking unless the
recipe requires it. Keep foil at least 25mm away from the oven
walls. Metal skewers, ties, etc. should be removed from food
beforecooking.
