Before Using Your Oven

Placement of Your Oven

Important

It is essential for the safe operation

of the oven that it is kept clean and

wiped out after each use. Failure

to maintain the oven in a clean

condition could lead to deterioration

of a surface that could adversely

affect the life of the appliance and

possibly result in a hazardous

situation.

1. Switch the oven off before cleaning

and unplug at socket if possible.

2. Keep the inside of the oven, door

seals and door seal areas clean

When food splatters or spilled liquids

adhere to oven walls, door seals

and door seal areas wipe off with a

damp cloth. Mild detergent may be

used if they get very dirty. The use

of harsh detergent or abrasives is

not recommended. Take care when

cleaning around the waveguide cover.

3. After using grill and combination

cooking the walls of the oven should

be cleaned with a soft cloth and soapy

water. Particular care should be taken to

keep the window area clean especially

after cooking by grill and combination.

Stubborn spots inside the oven can be

removed by using a small amount of

conventional oven-cleaner sprayed onto

a soft damp cloth. Wipe onto problem

spots, leave for recommended time and

then wipe off. Do not spray directly

inside the oven.

4. After use, the oven interior should be

wiped out to remove any remaining

water in order to reduce the risk of

corrosion to the cavity and door. The

cavity and door can be damaged by

abrasive cleaners and sharp objects so

care must be taken to avoid damage

caused in this way. If the cavity or

door become damaged the lining may

begin to corrode. Providing the above

precautions are taken regarding the

cleaning and care of your oven the life

of the cavity and door may be extended.

5. The outside oven surface should be

cleaned with a damp cloth. To prevent

damage to the operating parts inside the

oven, water should not be allowed to

seep into the ventilation openings.

6. If the control panel becomes dirty,

clean with a soft, dry cloth. Do not

use harsh detergents or abrasives on

the control panel. When cleaning the

control panel, leave the oven door open

to prevent the oven from accidentally

turning on. After cleaning press

Stop/Cancel button to clear display

window.

7. Do not use harsh abrasive cleaners or

sharp metal scrapers to clean the oven

door glass since they can scratch the

surface, which may result in shattering

of the glass.

8. Keep air vents clear at all times

Check that no dust or other material is

blocking any of the air vents on the top,

bottom or rear of the oven. If air vents

become blocked this could cause

overheating which would affect the

operation of the oven and possibly

result in a hazardous situation.

9. If steam accumulates inside or around

the outside of the oven door, wipe with

a soft cloth. This may occur when the

microwave oven is operated under

high humidity conditions and in no way

indicates a malfunction of the unit or

microwave leakage.

10. It is occasionally necessary to remove

the glass turntable for cleaning.

Wash the turntable in warm soapy

water. Do not place in the dishwasher.

Warning!

It is hazardous for anyone other

than a competent person to carry

out any service or repair operation

which involves the removal of a

cover which gives protection against

exposure to microwave energy.

The appliance should be inspected

for damage to the door seals and

door seal areas. If these areas are

damaged the appliance should

not be operated until it has been

repaired by a service technician

trained by the manufacturer.

11. The rollerringandovencavityoor

should be cleaned regularly to avoid

excessive noise. Simply wipe the

bottom surface of the oven, particularly

the turntable spindle and the area

surrounding this, with mild detergent

and hot water then dry with a clean

cloth. The roller ring may be washed in

mild soapy water.

After removing the roller ring from cavity

oorforcleaning,besuretoreplaceitin

the proper position.

12. When grilling or cooking by

combination, some foods may splatter

grease onto the oven walls. If the oven

is not cleaned to eliminate this grease, it

can accumulate and cause the oven to

‘smoke’duringuse.Thesemarkswillbe

moredif�culttocleanlater.

13. A steam cleaner is not to be used for

cleaning.

14. Users are advised to avoid any

downward pressure on the microwave

door when in the open position. There

is a safety risk that the oven will tilt

forward.

Care & Cleaning of Your Oven

Maintenance of Your Oven

1. Do not operate the oven without the

roller ring and glass turntable in

place.

2. Onlyusetheglassturntablespeci�cally

designed for this oven.

Do not substitute with any other glass

turntable.

3. If glass turntable is hot, allow to cool

before cleaning or placing in water.

4. Do not cook directly on glass turntable.

Always place food in a microwave safe

dish. The only exception to this is when

cooking jacket potatoes.

5. If food or utensils on the glass turntable

touch the oven walls this will cause the

turntable to stop moving. It will then

automatically rotate in the opposite

direction. This is normal. Open oven

door, reposition the food and restart.

6. The glass turntable can rotate in either

direction. The maximum weight that can

be placed on the turntable is 3 kg

(6 lb 10 oz) (this includes total weight of

food and dish).

7. While cooking by microwave or

combination the turntable may vibrate.

This will not affect cooking

performance.

8. The wire rack must only be used as

directed for grilling and combination

cooking. Never use this on microwave

only. Do not use if operating the oven

with less than

200 g (7 oz) of food on a manual

combination program. Failure to use

accessories correctly could damage

your oven.

9. Arcing may occur if the incorrect weight

of food is used, a metal container has

been used accidentally, or the wire rack

has been damaged. If this occurs, stop

the machine immediately.

10. Always refer to instructions for correct

accessories to use on all programs. The

glass turntable and roller ring are the

only accessories used for microwave

cooking.

Safety

Ifsmokeisemittedora�reoccursinthe

oven, press Stop/Cancel button and leave

thedoorclosedinordertostieanyames.

Disconnect the power cord, or shut off

power at fuse or circuit breaker panel.

Short Cooking Times

As microwave cooking times are much

shorter than other cooking methods it is

essential that recommended cooking times

arenotexceededwithout�rstcheckingthe

food.

Cooking times given in the cookbook

are approximate. Factors that may affect

cooking times are: preferred degree of

cooking, starting temperature, altitude,

volume, size and shape of foods and

utensils used. As you become familiar with

the oven, you will be able to adjust these

factors.

It is better to undercook rather than

overcook foods. If food is undercooked,

it can always be returned to the oven for

further cooking. If food is overcooked,

nothing can be done. Always start with

minimum cooking times.

Important

If the recommended cooking

times are exceeded the food

will be spoiled and in extreme

circumstancescouldcatch�re

and possibly damage the interior

of the oven.

SmallQuantitiesofFood

Take care when heating small quantities

of food as these can easily burn, dry out

orcatch�reifcookedtoolong.Alwaysset

short cooking times and check the food

frequently.

Note

Never operate the oven without

food inside

FoodsLowinMoisture

Take care when heating foods low in

moisture, e.g. bread items, chocolate,

biscuits and pastries. These can easily burn,

dryoutorcatchon�reifcookedtoolong.

We do not recommend heating foods low in

moisture such as popcorn or poppadoms.

The microwave oven is intended for heating

food and beverages only. Drying of food,

newspapers or clothing and heating of

warming pads, slippers, sponges, damp

cloth, wheat bags, hot water bottles and

similar may lead to risk of injury, ignition or

�re.

Christmas Pudding

Christmas puddings and other foods high in

fats or sugar, e.g. jam, mince pies, must not

be over heated. These foods must never be

left unattended as with over cooking these

foods can ignite.

Boiled Eggs

Eggs in their shell and whole hard boiled

eggs should not be heated in microwave

ovens since they may explode even after

microwave heating has ended.

FoodswithSkins

Potatoes, apples, egg yolk, whole

vegetables and sausages are examples

of food with non porous skins. These must

be pierced using a fork before cooking to

prevent bursting.

Important Information - Read Carefully

Warning!

Liquids and other foods must not be

heated in sealed containers since

they are liable to explode.

Liquids

When heating liquids, e.g. soup, sauces

and beverages in your microwave oven,

overheating the liquid beyond boiling point

can occur without evidence of bubbling.

This could result in a sudden boil over of

the hot liquid. To prevent this possibility the

following steps should be taken:

a. Avoid using straight-sided

containers with narrow necks.

b. Do not overheat.

c. Stir the liquid before placing the

container in the oven and again

halfway through the heating time.

d. After heating, allow to stand in the

oven for a short time, stirring again

before carefully removing the container.

e. Microwave heating of beverages can

result in delayed eruptive boiling,

therefore care should be taken when

handling the container.

Lids

Always remove the lids of jars and

containers and takeaway food containers

beforeyoumicrowavethem.Ifyoudon’t

then steam and pressure might build up

inside and cause an explosion even after

the microwave cooking has stopped.

DeepFatFrying

Do not attempt to deep fat fry in your oven.

Meat Thermometer

Use a meat thermometer to check the

degree of cooking of joints and poultry only

when meat has been removed from the

microwave. If undercooked, return to the

oven and cook for a few more minutes at

the recommended power level. Do not leave

a conventional meat thermometer in the

oven when microwaving.

Paper & Plastic

When heating food in plastic or paper

containers keep an eye on the oven due to

the possibility of ignition. Do not use wire

twist-ties with roasting bags as arcing will

occur. Do not use recycled paper products,

e.g. kitchen roll unless they say they are

speci�callydesignedforuseinamicrowave

oven. These products contain impurities

whichmaycausesparksand/or�reswhen

used.

Reheating

It is essential that reheated food is served

“piping hot”. Remove the food from the oven

and check that it is “piping hot”, i.e. steam is

being emitted from all parts and any sauce

is bubbling. (If you wish you may choose

tocheckthefoodhasreached75˚Cwitha

food thermometer – but remember do not

use this thermometer inside the microwave).

For foods that cannot be stirred, eg lasagne,

shepherds pie, the centre should be cut

with a knife to test it is well heated through.

Evenifamanufacturer’spacketinstructions

have been followed always check the food

is piping hot before serving and if in doubt

return your food to the oven for further

heating.

Standing Time

Standing time refers to the period at the

end of cooking or reheating when food is

left before being eaten, i.e. it is a rest time

which allows the heat in the food to continue

to conduct to the centre, thus eliminating

cold spots.

Keeping your Oven Clean

It is essential for the safe operation of the

oven that it is wiped out regularly. Use warm

soapy water, squeeze the cloth out well and

use to remove any grease or food from the

interior. Pay particular attention to the door

seal area. The oven should be unplugged

when cleaning.

Important Information - Read Carefully

FanMotorOperation

After using the oven the fan motor may

rotate for a few minutes to cool the electric

components. This is normal and you can

take out food even though the fan motor

operates. You can continue using the oven

during this time.

Grilling

The oven will only operate on the grill

function with the door closed.

BabiesBottlesandFoodJars

When reheating babies bottles always

remove top and teat. Liquid at the top of

the bottle will be much hotter than that at

the bottom and must be shaken thoroughly

before checking the temperature. The lid

must also be removed from babies food

jars, the contents must also be stirred

or shaken before the temperature is

checked. This should be carried out before

consumption to avoid burns.

See page 39.

Arcing

Arcing may occur if a metal container has

been used accidentally or if the incorrect

weight of food is used or the wire rack has

beendamaged.Arcingiswhenblueashes

of light are seen in the microwave oven.

If this occurs, stop the machine immediately.

If the oven is left unattended and this

continues it can damage the machine.

Maximum Weight on Turntable

The maximum weight that can be

placed on the turntable is 3 Kg (6 lb 10 oz)

(this includes total weight of food and dish).

Utensils/Containers

Before use check that utensils / containers

are suitable for use in microwave ovens.

See pages 23-24.

Storage of Accessories

Do not store any objects inside the

oven in case it is accidentally turned on.

Do not operate the oven empty

(apart from burning off the oil,

see point 4 on page 11). The

appliance must not be operated

by microwave or combination

without food in the oven.

Operation when empty will

damage the appliance.

Important Information - Read Carefully

Microwaves are present in the

atmosphere all the time, both naturally

and from manmade sources. Manmade

sources include radar, radio, television,

telecommunication links and mobile phones.

In a microwave oven, electricity is converted

into microwaves by the magnetron.

Reection

The microwaves bounce off the metal walls

and the metal door screen.

Transmission

Then they pass through the cooking

containers to be absorbed by the water

molecules in the food, all foods contain

water to a more or lesser extent.

Note

The dish used to cook or reheat the

food will get warm during cooking,

as the heat conducts from the food.

Even in microwaving, oven gloves

are required!

Microwaves cannot pass through

metal and there fore metal cooking

uten sils can never be used in

a microwave, for cooking on

microwave only.

HowMicrowavesCookFood

The microwaves cause the water molecules

to vibrate which causes friction, i.e. heat.

This heat then cooks the food. Microwaves

are also attracted to fat and sugar particles,

and foods high in these will cook more

quickly. Microwaves can only penetrate to a

depth of 1½ -2 inches (4-5 cm) and as heat

spreads through the food by conduction,

just as in a traditional oven, the food cooks

from the outside inwards

FoodsNotSuitableforCooking

by Microwave Only

YorkshirePuddingsandSoufes.Thisis

because these foods rely on dry external

heat to cook correctly, do not attempt to

cook by micro wave. Foods that require

deep fat frying cannot be cooked either.

Standing Time

When a microwave oven is switched

off, the food will continue to cook by

conduction – Not by microwave energy,

hence standing time is very important in

microwaving, particularly for dense foods

i.e. meat, cakes and reheated meals

(refer to page 21).

Boiled Eggs

Do not boil eggs in your microwave.

Raw eggs boiled in their shells can

explode and cause serious injury.

Microwaving Principles

Beep Sound

When a button is pressed correctly

a beep will be heard. If a button is

pressed and no beep is heard,

the unit has not or cannot accept the

instruction. At the end of any complete

program, the oven will beep 5 times.

Control Panel -

Note

When in stand-by mode the brightness

of the display will be reduced. The

oven will enter stand-by mode, when

14 Microwave heating category

15 Door release

This oven is equipped with an energy saving

function.

Standing Time

Dense foods e.g. meat, jacket potatoes and

cakes, require a standing time

(inside or outside of the oven) after cook ing,

toallowheatto�nishconductingtocookthe

centre completely.

MeatJoints

Stand 15 minutes wrapped in aluminium foil.

JacketPotato

Stand 5 minutes wrapped in aluminium foil

after cooking by microwave only.

Light Cakes

Stand 5 minutes before removing from dish.

Rich Dense Cakes

Stand 15-20 minutes.

Fish

Stand 2-3 minutes.

Egg Dishes

Stand 1-2 minutes.

PrecookedConvenienceFood

Stand for 1-2 minutes.

Plated Meals

Stand for 2-3 minutes.

Vegetables

Boiledpotatoesbene�tfromstanding

1-2 minutes, however most other types of

vegetables can be served immediately.

If food is not cooked after standing time,

return to oven and cook for additional time.

Defrosting

It is essential to allow standing time to

com plete the process. This can vary from

5 minutes e.g. raspberries, to up to 1 hour for

a joint of meat. See pages 27-28.

Piercing

The skin or membrane on

some foods will cause steam to

build up during cooking.

These foods must be pierced

or a strip of skin should be

peeled off before cooking to

allow the steam to es cape.

Eggs, potatoes, apples,

sausages etc. will all need to

be pierced before cooking.

Do not attempt to boil eggs

in their shells.

Moisture Content

Many fresh foods e.g.

vegetables and fruit, vary

in their moisture content

throughout the season. Jacket

potatoes are a particular

example of this. For this reason

cooking times may have to be

adjusted throughout the year.

Dry ingredients e.g. rice, pasta,

can dry out further during

storage and cooking times may

differ from freshly purchased

ingredients.

ClingFilm

Cling�lmhelpskeepthefood

moist and the trapped steam

assists in speeding up cooking

times.Cling�lmshouldbe

pierced before cooking, to

allow excess steam to escape.

Always take care when

removingcling�lmfromadish

as the build-up of steam will

be very hot. Always purchase

cling�lmthatstatesonthe

packet “suitable for microwave

cooking” and use as a covering

only. Do not line dishes with

cling�lm.Donotcoverfoods

when cooking by combination

or grill.

General Guidelines

Dish Size

Follow the dish sizes given in

the recipes, as these affect the

cook ing and reheating times.

A quan tity of food spread in a

bigger dish cooks and reheats

more quickly.

Quantity

Small quantities cook faster

than large quantities, also small

meals will reheat more quickly

than large portions.

Spacing

Foods cook more quickly and

evenly if spaced apart. Never

pile foods on top of each other.

Shape

Even shapes cook evenly.

Food cooks better by

microwave when in a round

container rather than square.

Density

Porous airy foods heat more

quickly than dense heavy

foods.

Covering

Cover foods with microwave

cling�lmoraself-�ttinglid.

Cover�sh,vegetables,

cas seroles, soups. Do not

cover cakes, sauces, jacket

potatoes, pastry items.

Arranging

Individual foods e.g. chicken

portions or chops, should

be placed on a dish with the

thicker parts to the outside.

Starting Temperature

The colder the food, the longer

it takes to heat up. Food from

a fridge takes longer to reheat

than food at room temperature.

Food temperature should be

between 5-8 ºC before cooking.

Turning and Stirring

Some foods require stirring

during cooking. Meat and

poultry should be turned after

half the cooking time.

Liquids

All liquids must be stirred

before, during and after

heating. Water espe cially must

be stirred before and during

heating, to avoid eruption.

Do not heat liquids that have

previously been boiled.

Do not overheat.

CheckingFood

It is essential that food is

checked during and after a

recommended cooking time,

even if an auto program

has been used (just as you

would check food cooked in a

conven tional oven).

Return the food to the oven for

further cooking if necessary.

Cleaning

As microwaves work on food

particles, keep your oven clean

at all times. Wipe with a soft

damp cloth, always wipe the

oven dry after cleaning.

Avoid any plastic parts, the roof

of the oven and door area.

General Guidelines

Choosing the correct container is a very

important factor in deciding the success or

failure of your cooking.

Testing Dishes for Suitability

When unsure that a cooking

con tainer is suitable for use in your

microwave, check by the follow ing test:

1. Fill a microwave safe measur ing jug

with 300 ml (½ pt) cold water.

2. Place it on the turntable along side the

dish to be tested. If the dish you are

testing is a large dish, then stand the

measur ing jug on top of the empty

dish.

3. Heat on 1000 W for 1 minute.

Result

If the dish is suitable for micro waving, it

will remain cool, whilst the water in the jug

will begin to feel warm. If the testing dish

feels warm, do not use as it is absorbing

microwave energy.

Note

This test does not apply to plastic or

metal based con tainers

e.g. Le Creuset

style dishes, which

should not be used as they are cast

iron covered with enamel.

Oven Glass

Everyday glass that is heat

resistant e.g. Pyrex

, is ideal

for microwave or combination

cooking. Do not use for grilling

on the wire rack. Do not use

delicate glass or lead crystal

which may crack or arc.

China and Ceramic

Everyday glazed china,

porcelain or ceramic plates,

bowls, mugs and cups can be

used if they are heat resis tant.

Fine bone china should only

be used for reheating for short

periods. Do not use dishes

with a metal rim or pattern.

Do not use jugs or mugs with

glued handles, since the glue

can melt. If dishes are heat

resistant they may be used on

combination but not directly

under the grill.

Pottery, Earthenware,

Stoneware

If completely glazed, these

dishes are suitable. Do not use

if partially glazed or unglazed,

since they are able to absorb

water which in turn absorbs

microwave energy, making the

container very hot and slows

down the cooking of food.

Foil/MetalContainers

Never attempt to cook in

foil or metal con tai ners

on microwave only as the

microwaves cannot pass

through and the food will

not heat evenly, it may also

damage your oven. Foil and

metal containers can be

used on grill and may be

used with care during certain

combination cooking as long

as they are not damaged or

dented.

Containers to Use

Quick Check Guide to Cooking Utensils

Plastic

Many plastic containers are designed for

microwave use, but do not use for cooking

foods high in sugar or fat or for foods that

require long cooking times e.g. brown rice.

Only use Tupperware

containers if they are

designed for microwave use. Do not use

Melamine. Never cook in margarine cartons

or yoghurt pots, as these will melt with the

heat from the food. If heatproof they can be

used for combination cooking. Do not use

under the grill.

Paper

Plain white absorbent kitchen paper

(kitchen towel) can only be used for

microwave cooking e.g. covering blind

pastry cases and for cover ing bacon to

prevent splattering.

Only use for short cooking times. Never

re-use a piece of kitchen towel. Always

use a fresh piece of paper for each dish.

Avoid kitchen paper containing manmade

�bres.

If you are using branded recycled kitchen

towel,check�rstthatitisrecommended

for microwave use. Do not use waxed or

plasticcoatedcupsorplatesasthe�nish

may melt.

Greaseproof paper can be used to line the

base of dishes and to cover fatty foods

e.g. bacon rashers, to stop splattering.

White paper plates can be used for short

re heating times, on Microwave only.

Wicker, Wood, Straw Baskets

Dishes will crack and could ignite.

Do not use wooden dishes in your

microwave. Do not use on any cooking

mode.

ClingFilm

Microwavecling�lmcanonlybeused

for covering food that is reheated by

microwave. It is also useful for covering food

to be cooked, but care should be taken to

avoidthe�lmbeingindirectcontactwiththe

foode.g.Donotlinedisheswithcling�lm.

Do not use on any other cooking mode.

Roasting Bags

Roasting bags are useful when slit up one

side to tent a joint, for roasting by power and

time. Do not use the metal twists supplied,

when using microwave or combination.

AluminiumFoil

Small amounts of smooth aluminium foil

can be used to shield joints of meat during

defrosting and cook ing by Microwave, as

the microwaves cannot pass through the

foil, this prevents the parts shielded from

overcook ing or over de frost ing. Take care

that the foil does not touch the sides or roof

of the oven, as this may cause arcing and

damage your oven.

heatproof dish underneath to catch any fat or drips.

2. Use the wire rack only as described. Do not use if operating the oven with less

than 200 g (7 oz) of food on a manual program. For small quantities do not cook

by combination, cook by grill only for best results.

3. Never cover foods when cooking on combination.

4. Do not preheat the grill on combination.

6. Some foods should be cooked on combination without using the wire rack i.e.

roasts, gratins, pies and puddings. The food should be placed in a heatproof

non-metallic dish and placed directly onto the turntable.

7. Do not use plastic microwave containers on combination programs (unless

suitable for combination cooking). Dishes must be able to withstand the heat

of the top grill - heatproof glass e.g. Pyrex

or ceramic are ideal. But do not put

dishes on wire rack directly under grill.

8. Do not use your own metal dishes or tins, as the microwaves will not penetrate

Chaos Defrost

This feature allows you to defrost minced meat, chops, chicken portions, meat joints

and bread. Tap Chaos defrost to select the correct defrost category and then enter in

the weight of the food in grams (see page 35).

Foods should be placed in a suitable dish, whole chickens and joints of meat should be on an

upturned saucer or on a microwave safe plate. Chops, chicken portions and slices of bread

should be placed in a single layer. It is not necessary to cover the foods.

The chaos theory principle is used in auto weight defrost programs to give you a quick and

more even defrost. The chaos system uses a random sequence of pulsing microwave energy

which speeds up the defrosting process. During the program the oven will beep to remind you

to check the food. It is essential that you turn and stir the food frequently and shield if

necessary.Onhearingthe�rstbeepyoushouldturnandshield(ifpossible). On the

second beep you should turn the food or break it up.

1. Check foods during defrosting. Foods vary in their defrosting speed.

2. It is not necessary to cover the food.

3. Always turn or stir the food especially when the oven “beeps”. Shield if necessary

(see point 5)

4. Minced meat/chops/chicken portions should be broken up or separated as soon

as possible and placed in a single layer.

jointsofmeat.Theoutsidethawsout�rst,soprotectwings/breast/fatwithsmooth

pieces of aluminium foil secured with cocktail sticks.

6. Allow standing time so that the centre of the food thaws out (minimum 1-2 hours

for joints of meat and whole chickens).

With this feature you can defrost frozen foods according to the weight. Select the category and set

the weight of the food.

1. Bread

This program is suitable for small items which are required for immediate use, they may feel

warm straight after defrosting. Loaves can also be defrosted on this program but these will require

standing time to allow the centre to thaw out. Standing time can be shortened if slices are separated

and buns and loaves cut in half. Items should be turned at beeps. This program is not suitable for

cream cakes or desserts e.g. cheesecake. Standing time 10-15 minutes.

2. Meat Items (mince/chops/chicken portions)

Not suitable for sausages, these can be defrosted manually. Please refer to defrosting chart on

page 28. Chops and chicken portions should be arranged in a single layer and turned at beeps. It

is necessary for mince to be broken up at beeps and this is best carried out in a large shallow dish.

Standing time 15-30 minutes.

3. Meat Joints / Whole Chickens

Whole chickens and meat joints will require shielding at beeps especially if it is a particularly fatty

piece. This is to prevent food starting to cook on the outside edges. Protect wings, breast and fat

with smooth pieces of aluminium foil secured with cocktail sticks. Do not allow the foil to touch

the walls of the oven. Standing time of at least 1 hour should be allowed for joints after defrosting.

Most foods reheat very quickly in your oven by

1000 W. Meals can be brought back to serving

temperature in just minutes and will taste

freshly cooked. Always check food is piping hot

and return to oven if necessary.

As a general rule, always cover wet foods,

e.g. soups, casseroles and plated meals.

Do not cover dry foods e.g. bread rolls,

mince pies, sausage rolls etc.

The charts on pages 40-46 show you the best

way to cook or reheat your favourite foods.

The best method depends on the type of food

you are cooking or reheating.

Remember to stir or turn food wherever

possible during cooking or reheating.

This ensures even cooking or reheating on the

outside and in the centre.

WhenisFoodReheated?

Food that has been reheated or cooked should

be served “piping hot” i.e. steam should be

visibly emitted from all parts. As long as good

hygiene practices have been followed during

the prepa ra tion and storage of the food, then

cooking or reheating presents no safety risks.

Foods that cannot be stirred should be cut

with a knife to test that they are adequately

heatedthroughout.Evenifamanufacturer’s

Instructions or the times in the cookbook have

been followed, it is still important to check the

food is heated thoroughly. If in doubt,

always return to the oven for further reheating.

Ifyoucannot�ndtheequivalentfoodinthe

chart then choose a similar type and size listed

and adjust the cooking time if necessary.

Plated Meals

Everyone’sappetitevariesandreheattimes

depend on meal contents. Dense items

e.g. mashed potato, should be spread out well.

If a lot of gravy is added, extra time may be

required. Place denser items to the outside of

the plate.

An average plated meal will take 4-7 minutes

on 1000 W to reheat. Do not stack meals.

CannedFoods

Remove foods from can and place in a suitable

dish before heating.

Soups

Place soup in a bowl. Stir before heating and

at least once during reheat time and again at

the end.

Casseroles

Stir halfway through and again at the end of

heating.

Cooking and Reheating Guidelines

Caution!

Mince Pies

Remember even if the pastry is cold to the

touch,the�llingwillbepipinghotandwill

warm the pastry through. Take care not to

overheat otherwise burning can occur due

to the high fat and sugar content of the

�lling.Checkthetemperatureofthe�lling

before consuming to avoid burning your

mouth.

Christmas Puddings and Liquids

Take great care when reheating these

items.

Do not leave unattended

Do not add extra alcohol

Babies Bottles

Milk or formula must be shaken thoroughly

before heating and again at the end and

tested carefully before feeding a baby.

For7-8.oz.ofmilkfromfridge

1000 W for 25-30 seconds.

Check carefully.

For3.oz.ofmilkfromfridgetemperature,

remove top and teat. Heat on 1000 W for

10-15 seconds. Check carefully.

iquid at the top of bottle will be much hotter

than at the bottom. The bottle must be

shaken thoroughly and tested before use.

We do not recommend that you use your

Q: Whywon’tmyoventurnon?

A: When the oven does not turn on, check

the following:

1. Istheovenpluggedinsecurely?

Remove the plug from the outlet, wait

10 seconds and reinsert.

2. Check the circuit breaker and the fuse.

Reset the circuit breaker or replace the

fuse if it is tripped or blown.

3. If the circuit breaker or fuse is all right,

plug another appliance into the outlet.

If the other appliance works, there

probably is a problem with the oven. If

the other appliance does not work, there

probably is a problem with the outlet.

If it seems that there is a problem with

the oven, contact an authorised Service

Center.

Q: My microwave oven causes

interferencewithmyTV.Isthisnormal?

A: Some radio, TV, Wi-Fi, cordless

telephone, baby monitor, blue tooth or

other wireless equipment interference

might occur when you cook with the

microwave oven. This interference

is similar to the interference caused

by small appliances such as mixers,

vacuums, blow dryers, etc. It does not

indicate a problem with your oven.

Q: Theovenwon’tacceptmyprogram.

Why?

A: The oven is designed not to accept an

incorrect program. For example, the

oven will not accept a fourth stage of

cooking.

Q: Sometimes warm air comes from the

ovenvents.Why?

A: The heat given off from the food whilst

cooking warms the air in the oven

cavity. This warmed air is carried out of

theovenbytheairowpatterninthe

oven. There are no microwaves in the

air. The oven vents should never be

blocked during cooking.

Q: Can I use a conventional oven

 thermometerintheoven?

A: Only when you are using grill

cooking mode. The metal in some

thermometers may cause arcing in

your oven and should not be used on

microwave and combination cooking

modes.

Q: There are humming and clicking

noises from my oven when I cook by

combination. What is causing these

noises?

A: The noises occur as the oven

automatically switches from microwave

power to grill to create the combination

setting. This is normal.

Q: My oven has an odour and generates

smoke when using the combination

and grillfunction.Why?

A: After repeated use, it is recommended

to clean the oven and then run the oven

without food, glass tray, and roller ring

on grill for 5 minutes. This will burn

off any food, residue or oil which may

cause an odour and/or smoking.

Q: The oven stops cooking by

microwaveand‘H97’or‘H98’appearsin

thedisplay.Why?

A: This display indicates a problem with

the microwave generation system.

Please contact an authorised Service

Centre.

Q: The fan continues to rotate after

cooking.Why?

A: After using the oven, the fan motor may

rotate to cool the electrical components.

This is normal and you can continue

using the oven at this time.
