Useful Information
AboutYour Microwave Oven
Microwave cooking is very quick and efficient. Microwave cooking can also help preserve the minerals and vitamins in many foods.
The microwave power output of your oven is 800 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 the microwave oven can cause interference to your radio, TV or similar equipment. When there is interference, it may be reduced or eliminated by taking the following measures:
Clean the door and sealing surface of the oven.
Reorient the receiving antenna of radio or television.
Relocate the microwave oven with respect to the receiver.
Move the microwave oven away from the receiver.

Metal Foil Containers
(*Combination refers to microwave + grill cooking)
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 microwave oven.
When you are combination cooking, the container must be fully heatproof as well as suitable for microwave cooking.
Avoid containers which narrow at the top as these may cause the contents to erupt when removed from the 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 - so avoid their use.
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 before cooking.

Basic Microwave Cooking
Basic Grilling
Microwave/Grill combination cooking
In his last process, food is partially cooked by microwaves and then finished by grilling. This accelerates the cooking process whilst maintaining the finish and texture of traditionally cooked foods. There is also a programme that enables you to defrost frozen food and then combination cook it thus completing the entire cooking process in one operation.
Preset cooking programmes
Your oven has 9 preset programmes. These programmes allow you to automate the cooking of a range of standard foods for greater convenience.
So you can just select the programme, dial in the amount of food you want to cook and the oven will do the rest!
