Unpacking and getting ready

1 After unpacking your oven, check that it hasn't been damaged whilst in the box. Make sure there are no dents, that the door closes properly, and that the door seal is not damaged. A dented or damaged oven could allow microwave energy to escape.

Make sure that you've removed all the packaging from inside the oven.

2 Choose a flat work surface for your microwave away from heat sources such as radiators or fires, and away from anywhere that's very cold.

You should allow a 10cm space all around the oven and 30cm above so that warm air can escape from the vents during cooking – it is not designed to be built in.

3 Plug your oven into a standard household electrical socket (240 volt, 13 amp rated).

Avoid using a socket that also has an adaptor and other equipment plugged in.

4 Put the turntable ring inside the oven and place the glass turntable on top of the ring. The turntable is shaped to sit securely on the spindle.

You must always use the turntable and ring whenever you use the microwave.

Unpacking

This microwave oven is designed for home use. It should not be used for commercial catering.

Introducing microwave cooking.

Always remember the basic safeguards you would follow when using any cooking equipment or handling hot food.

This page gives some of the basic guidelines for microwave cooking.

Cooking with a microwave.

Cooking with a microwave is much faster than conventional cooking and, whilst you should make sure that food is fully cooked, you should be careful not to overcook it.

If you're cooking a number of individual foods at the same time, such as baked potatoes or small cakes, arrange them evenly on the turntable so that they cook evenly. Never stack food in your microwave.

Meat and poultry which is cooked for 15 minutes or more will brown lightly in its own fat. Anything cooked for a shorter time can be brushed with a browning sauce to give an appetising colour.

You should always have your microwave checked if it is dropped or damaged.

Microwave energy can heat unevenly, so stirring to distribute heat is very important. Always stir from the outside towards the centre.

Turn larger foods such as meat roasts and poultry during cooking so that the top and bottom cook evenly. It's also a good idea to turn chops and chicken pieces, especially if they contain the bone.

Strips of aluminium foil can be used to cover the thinner pieces of food to stop them overcooking before the thicker parts of the food have had a chance to cook. Use the foil sparingly and wrap around the food or container carefully to stop it touching the inside of the oven which could cause sparks.

Introducing microwave cooking

Safety

Never use equipment made of metal, except foil in your microwave oven.

The microwave energy can't pass through the metal so it bounces off and sparks against the inside of the oven.

Stop the microwave straight away if any equipment does cause sparks.

Remember that some crockery has a metal trim around the edge. Even this trim can cause sparks.

Safety

Never use scratched, cracked or damaged glass in a microwave. Damaged glass can explode.

Microwave ovens cook food using microwave energy that is similar to naturally occurring radio waves. Normally, these "waves" would fade as they disappeared into the atmosphere but in a microwave oven they are concentrated onto food causing it to heat up.

Microwave energy can't pass through metal – so it can't escape from inside your microwave oven – but it can pass through materials like glass, porcelain, plastic and paper. These are the things used to make microwave-safe cooking equipment.

Microwave-safe cooking equipment will still get hot as the food it contains heats up.

The microwave energy focuses on the moisture in the food causing lots of tiny vibrations. The vibrations get so great that the moisture – and the food – heat up.

Checking your cooking utensils

Most heat-resistant, non-metallic cooking utensils are safe to use in your microwave. If you're not sure you can use a utensil in your microwave, follow this simple test:

1. Put the utensil into the oven next to a cup of water – use a cup that you know is microwave-safe. Close the door. 2. Press the START button once, this will microwave the water for 30 seconds. 3. At the end of the time, carefully check to see if the water has warmed up. If the water hasn't warmed up but the utensil has, the utensil is not microwave-safe and should not be used in the oven.

More about getting the most from microwave cooking

Microwave heating categories

Your oven has been tested and labelled to meet the government's voluntary agreement on the reheating of pre-cooked food.

The heating characteristics and output power levels of microwave ovens are usually calculated using a relatively large portion of food (a 1000 gram load, IEC 705) but many packs of pre-cooked food are sold in smaller packs, often about 350 grams. The government, in partnership with food companies and microwave manufacturers, have set up a system of heating categories to help you choose the reheating time for pre-cooked food.

Introducing microwave cooking

Remember

Always check that the food is evenly cooked and piping hot before you serve it.

Introducing microwave cooking

Steam

When you microwave food, steam is created as water in the food heats up and evaporates.

The steam formed during microwave cooking is entirely safe. It has to escape from the microwave to prevent pressure from building up inside the oven. It does this through the vents on the back of the oven and from around the door.

Condensation

As the steam cools, you may find the condensation gathers in small pools inside your microwave and on the work surface beneath the door and vents.

Always dry the oven after cooking foods with a high moisture content.

Your microwave is designed to let steam escape from the vents and around the door without microwave energy escaping. There is no danger of microwave energy escaping with the steam.

Checking your microwave

Check your microwave after unpacking and whenever you think it might not be working properly.

1 Pull handle to open door. Put the turntable ring inside the oven and place the glass turntable on top of the ring. The turntable is shaped to sit securely on the spindle. You must always use the turntable and ring whenever you use the microwave. Place a cup of water on the turntable. Make sure the cup is microwave-safe – it shouldn't have any decorative metal trim.

2 Close the oven door.

3 Press the STOP button to clear any settings that have already been made.

4 Press the START/SPEED COOK button once.

The oven light comes on during cooking.

5 When cooking finishes, 5 beeps can be heard and 0:00 will be displayed.

At the end of the 30 seconds the water should be hot - be careful when you take the cup out of the oven.

Introducing microwave cooking

Safety

For your safety, the microwave stops if the oven door is opened during cooking. Close the door to continue the cooking cycle.

Setting the child lock

If the oven is turned off from the mains supply, the child-lock setting will be cancelled.

Hint

Your oven has a safety feature that prevents children from using your oven. Once the child lock is set, you will be unable to use any functions and no cooking can take place. However your child can still open the oven door.

Setting the Child Lock

The child lock is a safety feature which will lock all of the buttons on your microwave. This prevents your microwave being used accidentally. Your microwave door can still be opened.

1 Lock: In waiting state, press " STOP " for 3 seconds, there will be a long "beep" denoting entering into the child-lock state and LED will display "

STOP

2 Lock quitting: In locked state, press "STOP" for 3 seconds, there will be a long "beep" denoting that the lock is released.

Cleaning your microwave

Cleaning your oven each time you use it will help to prevent stubborn marks that can be difficult to clean.

Using aluminium foil in your microwave

It's safe to use aluminium foil in your microwave oven as long as you follow these safety guidelines.

As with all metal, microwave energy can't pass through foil, but provided that you keep the foil away from the side of the oven it won't cause sparks and there won't be any damage to your oven.

Using foil is a good way of shielding parts of food that you don't want to cook as quickly as others – perhaps where the food is narrower and would otherwise overcook.

Place the foil over the area you want to shield, taking care that the foil won't touch the sides of the oven when the turntable rotates. Only use one piece of foil at a time so that you don't get sparks between the separate pieces.

Follow these guidelines when using foil in your microwave:

Remove foil lids from containers before using in the microwave. Some lids are made of card with a foil covering – these should be removed too.

Use a microwave-safe transparent lid if possible.

Stir food during cooking if the container has a lid or film cover.

Always use the glass turntable.

Use shallow containers with a large surface area. Do not use containers that are more than 1.25in (3.5cm) deep.

Use oven gloves when handling hot foil containers.

Do not completely cover food with foil. The microwave energy cannot pass through the foil so the food won't cook.

Do not let aluminium foil touch the inside of the oven.

Do not use more than one piece of foil in the oven at the same time.

Questions and answers

Why doesn't food seem to cook?

Check that:

• the cooking time has been set - the door is closed - the power socket is not overloaded causing a fuse to blow.

Why does the food seem undercooked or overcooked?

Check that:

• the correct cooking time has been set • the correct power setting has been used.

How can I stop eggs from popping?

When you bake or poach eggs in the microwave, the yolk can sometimes pop as steam builds up inside it. You can stop the egg from popping by piercing the yolk with a toothpick before cooking.

Never cook eggs that are still in their shell.

Why is it so important that I allow standing time after cooking?

With microwave cooking, many foods build up enough heat inside them to continue cooking even after they've been taken out of the oven. Because microwave cooking works from the outside of food inwards, standing time lets you cook the centre of the food just right without the outside being overcooked.

Why does my oven sometimes take longer to cook than it says in the recipe?

First check that the oven was set just as the recipe said.

Cooking times and heat settings are suggestions to help prevent overcooking, but differences in the weight, size, shape, and starting temperature of food will all affect how long it takes to cook – just as it does with a conventional oven.

Use your judgement along with the recipe to check whether food has been cooked properly.

Why do I get condensation on the inside of the oven door?

Condensation is perfectly normal, especially when you're cooking food with a high moisture content such as potatoes.

Questions and answers

Does the microwave energy get through the window on the door?

A No. The door has a special metal screen with holes in it that lets you see inside but stops microwave energy from getting out.

Q Steam comes out of the side of the door and vents. Can microwave energy get out too?

A No. The door and vents are carefully designed to let steam out during cooking but keep microwave energy in. The gaps are not big enough for microwave energy to escape.

Q What happens if the microwave is switched on while the oven is empty?

A The microwave will be damaged. Don't switch the microwave on when there's nothing inside the oven. It's a good idea to keep a cup of water in the oven just in case someone accidentally starts the microwave.

Why won't the oven light come on?

A Open the door. If the light doesn't come on, the bulb has probably blown. Call a qualified repairer – don't try to change the bulb yourself.

There are sparks inside the oven when I use the microwave. Will this cause any damage?

A Yes. Make sure that you are not using any metal utensils and that your containers don't have a metal trim. You must not use metal in your microwave, except foil, when you cook.

Light is showing through the vents and door. Does this mean the microwave energy can escape?

A No. It's normal for the light to be visible and is nothing to be concerned about.

Why do I get interference on my TV and radio when I use the microwave?

A Microwave ovens use radio waves similar to those received by TVs and radios. You can lessen the interference by moving your microwave further away from the TV or radio.
