Unpacking and getting ready

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

Make sure that you have taken all the packaging from inside the oven.

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

You should allow a 10cm space all around the oven and30cm above so that warm air can escape from thevents 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 equipmentplugged in.

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

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

Introducing microwave cookingAlways remember the basic safeguards you would follow when using anycooking equipment or handling hot food.

This page gives some of the basic guidelines for microwave cooking.If you are unfamiliar with using a microwave, there is more informationat the back of this instruction booklet.

Cooking with a microwave

Cooking with a microwave is much faster thanconventional cooking and, whilst you should makesure that food is fully cooked, you should be carefulnot to overcook it.

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

Meat and poultry which is cooked for 15 minutesor more will brown lightly in it is own fat.Anything cooked for a shorter time can be brushedwith a browning sauce to give an appetising colour.

Microwave energy can heat unevenly so stirring todistribute heat is very important. Always stir from theoutside towards the centre.

Turn larger foods such as meat roasts and poultryduring cooking so that the top and bottom cookevenly. It is also a good idea to turn chops andchicken pieces, especially if they contain the bone.

Strips of aluminium foil can be used to cover thethinner pieces of food to stop them overcookingbefore the thicker parts of the food have had achance to cook. Use the foil sparingly and wraparound the food or container carefully to stop ittouching the inside of the oven which could causesparks.

Introducing microwavecooking

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

6

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

Microwave energy can not pass through metal – so it can notescape from inside your microwave oven – but it can passthrough materials like glass, porcelain, plastic and paper.These are the things used to make microwave-safe cookingequipment.

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

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

3 Turn the microwave oven on for 30 seconds only.

4 At the end of the time, carefully check to see if the water haswarmed up. If the water has not warmed up but the utensil has, theutensil is not microwave-safe and should not be used in the oven.

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

7

Safety

Never use scratched,cracked or damagedglass in a microwave.Damaged glass canexplode.

Safety

Never use equipmentmade of metal, exceptfoil in your microwaveoven.The microwave energycan not pass through themetal so it bounces offand sparks against theinside of the oven.

Stop the microwave straightaway if any equipment doescause sparks.

Remember that some crockeryhas a metal trim around theedge. Even this trim can causesparks.


1 Make sure that the grill is positioned in the upwards position tothe top of the microwave (Do not use your hands to touch the grillas it may already be hot).

2 Put the utensil into the oven next to a cup of water – use a cupthat you know is microwave-safe. Close the door

8

Remember

Always check that the food isevenly cooked and piping hotbefore you serve it.

700W is the output power ofthe oven.

D is the heating category for youroven.

Check the cooking times for categoryE on the food's packaging to seehow long it should be cooked for.

More about getting the most from microwave cooking

Microwave heating categoriesYour oven has been tested and labelled to meet the government'svoluntary agreement on the reheating of pre-cooked food.

The heating characteristics and output power levels of microwaveovens are usually calculated using a relatively large portion of food(a 1000 gram load, IEC 705) but many packs of pre-cooked foodare 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 thereheating time for pre-cooked food.


700W

D

To Microwave: Remove outer packaging.Pierce film lid SEVERAL TIMES.Place on a microwaveable plate. Heat onfull power. Turn halfway through heating.

To Microwave from Frozen: Remove outerpackaging. Pierce film lid SEVERAL TIMES.Place on a microwaveable plate. Heat onfull power. Turn halfway through heating.

SteamWhen you microwave food, steam is created as water in thefood heats up and evaporates.

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

CondensationAs the steam cools, you may find the condensation gathers in smallpools inside your microwave and on the work surface beneath thedoor and vents.

Always dry the oven after cooking foods with a high moisturecontent.

Your microwave is designed to let steam escape from the ventsand around the door without microwave energy escaping.

There is no danger of microwave energy escaping with the steam.

Cleaning

Warning

Ensure you unplug yourmicrowave from the mains andwait for the oven to cool downcompletely before cleaning.

Unplug your ovenbefore you clean it.

The oven walls have a specialenamel coating which makescleaning very easy. Use a softdamp cloth to wipe off anysplashes or a paper towel to mopup any spills. Wipe off grease witha damp cloth and a little detergent.Dry thoroughly. As with any oven,if grease is left to accumulate, itcan smoke and even catch fire.

Clean behindthe door ledge.

Keep the inside of the door clean with a damp cloth. Usewarm soapy water for stubborn marks and drythoroughly.

The inside of the door has a special coating and must notbe cleaned with abrasive pads or cleaning powders

Check that the doorcatches are clean.

Keep the front of theoven clean so that thedoor can closeproperly.

Use warm soapy water toclean the outside of theoven. Do not use abrasivepads or powders thatcould scratch the surface.

Unplug the oven beforecleaning the power lead.Wipe with a damp clothand leave to dry beforeplugging it back in.

Be careful not to spillwater into the vents.

Treat the turntable asyou would any glassplate. After you aveused it for more than 15minutes, allow it to cooldown before you use itagain. Do not wash theturntable in very hotwater that could crack it.

Make sure the turntableis dry before you put itback in the oven.

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

Do not remove any fixed parts from the insideof your microwave oven during cleaning or atany other time.

Make sure youkeep the outletgrids clean.

CautionPay attention to the area aroundthe wave guide cover which if notregularly cleaned can collect foodresidue creating a potential firehazard.

24

Using aluminium foil

As with all metal, microwave energycan not pass through foil, but providedthat you keep the foil away from theside of the oven it will not cause sparksand there will not be any damage toyour oven.

Using foil is a good way of shieldingparts of food that you do not want tocook as quickly as others – perhapswhere the food is narrower andwould otherwise overcook.

Place the foil over the area you wantto shield, taking care that the foilwill not touch the sides of the ovenwhen the turntable rotates. Only useone piece of foil at a time so that youdo not get sparks between the separatepieces.

Follow these guidelines when usingfoil in your microwave:

Remove foil lids from containersbefore using in the microwave.Some lids are made of cardwith a foil covering – theseshould be removed too.

Use a microwave-safetransparent lid if possible.

Stir food during cooking if thecontainer has a lid or filmcover.

Always use the glass turntable.

Use shallow containers with alarge surface area. Do not usecontainers that are more than1.25in (3.5cm) deep.

Use oven gloves when handlinghot foil containers.

Do not completely cover foodwith foil. The microwave energycannot pass through the foil sothe food will not cook.

Do not let aluminium foil touchthe inside of the oven.

Do not use more than one pieceof foil in the oven at the sametime.

Using aluminium foil in yourmicrowaveIt is safe to use aluminium foil in your microwave oven as long as you follow these safety guidelines.

Questions and answers

If you have a problemthat can not be answeredby these points, pleasecontact your neareststore.

Please note: If you call aMastercare engineer out toyour home and the product isfound not to be faulty, or theinstruction book has not beenfollowed, our productguarantee is not applicableand a call-out fee will becharged.

Q Why does not food seem to cook?

A Check that:• the cooking time has been set• the door is closed• the power socket is not overloaded causing a fuse

to blow.

Q Why does the food seem undercooked orovercooked?

A Check that:• the correct cooking time has been set

Q How can I stop eggs from popping?

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

Never cook eggs that are still in their shells.

Q Why is it so important that I allowstanding time after cooking?

A With microwave cooking, many foods build upenough heat inside them to continue cooking evenafter they have been taken out of the oven. Becausemicrowave cooking works from the outside of foodinwards, standing time lets you cook the centre ofthe food just right without the outside beingovercooked.

Q Why does my oven sometimes take longerto cook than it says in the recipe?

A First check that the oven was set just as the recipesaid.Cooking times and heat settings are suggestions tohelp prevent overcooking but differences in theweight, size, shape and starting temperature offood will all affect how long it takes to cook – justas it does with a conventional oven.Use your judgement along with the recipe to checkwhether food has been cooked properly.

Q Why do I get condensation on the inside ofthe oven door?

A Condensation is perfectly normal, especially whenyou are cooking food with a high moisture contentsuch as potatoes.


• the correct power setting has been used.

26


Q Does the microwave energy get throughthe window on the door?

A No. The door has a special metal screen with holesin that lets you see inside but stops microwaveenergy from getting out.

Q Steam comes out of the side of the doorand vents. Can microwave energy get outtoo?

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

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

A The microwave will be damaged. Do not switch themicrowave on when there is nothing inside the oven.It is a good idea to keep a cup of water in the ovenjust in case someone accidentally starts themicrowave.

Q Why will not the oven light come on?

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

Q There are sparks inside the oven when Iuse the microwave. Will this cause anydamage?

A Yes. Make sure that you are not using any metalutensils and that your containers do not have a metaltrim. You must not use metal in your microwave,except foil, when you cook.

Q Light is showing through the vents anddoor. Does this mean the microwaveenergy can escape?

A No. It is normal for the light to be visible and isnothing to be concerned about.

Q Why do I get interference on my TV andradio when I use the microwave?

A Microwave ovens use radio waves similar to thosereceived by TVs and radios. You can lessen theinterference by moving your microwave furtheraway from the TV or radio.
