If you are unsure how long the food should cook, begin cooking at the lowest recommended
time, then add more time if necessary. The moisture content of food can vary. Ensure food
is thoroughly cooked all the way to the centre before serving.
• Microwave energy can heat unevenly so stirring to distribute heat is very important. Always stir
from the outside, inwards.
• If you are cooking a number of individual foods at the same time, such as baked potatoes or
small cakes, arrange them evenly on the turntable plate so that they cook evenly. Never stack
food in the microwave.
• Turn larger foods such as meat roasts and poultry during cooking so that the top and bottom
cook evenly. It is also recommended to turn pieces of meat or poultry, especially if they have not
been deboned.
• 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.
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. Food can
catch fire if excessive cooking times are used.
• Strips of aluminium foil can be used to cover the thinner pieces of food to stop them from
overcooking before the thicker parts of the food have had the chance to cook. Use the
aluminium foil sparingly and wrap around the food or container carefully to stop it from touching
the inside of the microwave which could cause sparks.
• Microwaves cook food using microwave energy that is similar to naturally occurring radio waves.
Normally, these “waves” would fade as they disappear into the atmosphere but in a microwave
they are concentrated on the food causing it to heat up.
• Microwave energy cannot pass through metal – so it cannot
escape from the inside of your microwave – 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.
If you are not sure and/or there is no “microwave safe” marking on the utensil, do NOT use
it in the microwave.
For the types of utensils you can use in the microwave, please see the “Materials That Can Be
Used” section.
• Never use equipment made of metal, except aluminium foil in your microwave oven.
• The microwave energy cannot pass through the metal so it bounces off and sparks
against the inside of the oven.
• Stop the microwave immediately if any equipment or utensils causes sparks.
• Remember that some crockery has a metal trim around the edge. Even this trim can
cause sparks.
• Never use scratched, cracked or damaged glass in a microwave. Damaged glass can
explode.
Browning dish Follow the manufacturer’s instructions. The bottom of a browning dish must be
at least 3/16 inch (5mm) above the turntable. Incorrect usage may cause the
turntable to break.
Glassware Heat-resistant oven glassware only. Make sure there is no metallic trim.
Do not use cracked or chipped dishes.
Oven cooking bags Follow the manufacturer’s instructions. Do not close with metal tie. Make slits
to allow steam to escape.
Paper plates and cups Use for short–term cooking/warming only. Do not leave oven unattended while
cooking.
Paper towels Use to cover food for reheating and absorbing fat. Use with supervision for
short-term cooking only.
Plastic wrap Microwave-safe only. Use to cover food during cooking to retain moisture.
Do not allow plastic wrap to touch food.
E
E is the heating category for your microwave.
Check the cooking times for category E on the
food’s packaging to see how long it should be
cooked.
The category (a letter from A to E), is designed to help you reheat small quantities of food such as
microwave ready meals.
The label given above and also on the oven door gives the heating category and output power of
the oven.
Microwave ready meals weighing up to 500g (1lb 2oz) should have cooking instructions for heating
categories A to E. Follow the instructions for the letter that corresponds to the heating category of
the oven.
The higher the output power and heating category of the oven the less heating time is required. This
is shown in the diagrams below:
Start cooking at the lowest recommended time, and add more time if necessary. The
moisture content of food can vary, ensure food is cooked thoroughly all the way to the
centre before serving.
condensation
As the steam cools, you may find that condensation
gathers in small pools inside your microwave and on
the work surface beneath the door and vents. Always
dry the microwave 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.

increased by pressing Start/+30sec. (4) button.
• Once half the defrosting time has passed, the oven will sound prompting to turn over the
food. You can choose to turn food or leave it to continue defrosting. To turn food, open
the door, turn the food, close the door and press Start/+30sec. (4) button to continue
defrosting.

When using the auto-cook menu, it is not necessary to programme the time or cooking
power. Indicating the food type and weight is sufficient. For some food, you may need to
turn it over during cooking to ensure it is thoroughly cooked and browns evenly.
The density and thickness of food can affect its cooking time. Ensure all food is piping hot
and cooked thoroughly before serving. It is essential that food is checked during and after
the recommended cooking time, even if auto-cook was used.
