getting ready  
This microwave is designed for home use only. It should not be used for commercial catering.  
1. After unpacking your microwave, check that it has not been damaged whilst in the box. Make  
sure there are no dents, and the door closes properly. A damaged microwave could allow  
microwave energy to escape. Make sure that you have taken out all the packaging from inside  
the microwave. Please dispose of the plastic wrappings / bags safely and keep out of the reach  
of babies and young children.  
2. Choose a flat work surface for your  
30cm  
microwave away from heat sources such  
as radiators or fires and away from cold  
areas. You should allow a 10cm space all  
around the microwave and 30cm above so  
that warm air can escape from the vents  
during cooking. This microwave is not  
designed to be built in.

3. Plug your microwave into a standard  
household electrical socket (230 volt, 13  
amp rated). Avoid using a socket that  
also has an adaptor and other equipment  
plugged in. Do not use a multi-adaptor.  
4. Put the turntable support inside the  
microwave and place the glass turntable  
plate on top of the support. The turntable  
support is shaped to sit securely on the  
spindle. You must always use the turntable  
plate and support whenever you use the  
microwave.  
5. To protect your work surface, we  
recommend that you fix some non-slip  
cushion buttons (not included) to the  
underside of the microwave.  
Remove the turntable plate and  
turntable support before turning the  
microwave upside down.

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. If you are unfamiliar with using  
a microwave, there is more information at the back of this instruction manual.  
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.  
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.  
If you are unsure how long the food should cook for, 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.  
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 aluminium foil sparingly  
and wrap around the food or container carefully to stop it 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 can not escape from inside 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.

checking your cooking utensils  
Most heat-resistant, non-metallic cooking utensils are safe to use in your microwave. If made of  
plastic or glass, utensils will be marked as “microwave safe” or similar.  
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 can not 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.  
Never use scratched, cracked or damaged glass in a microwave. Damaged glass can  
explode.  
using aluminium foil in your microwave  
It is safe to use aluminium foil in your microwave as long as you follow these safety guidelines.  
As with all metals, microwave energy cannot pass through aluminium foil, but provided you keep the  
aluminium foil away from the side of the microwave it will not cause sparks and there will not be any  
damage to your microwave.  
Using aluminium foil is a good way of shielding parts of food that you do not want to cook as quickly  
as others – perhaps where the food is narrower and would otherwise overcook.  
Place the aluminium foil over the area you want to shield, taking care that the aluminium foil will not  
touch the sides of the microwave when the turntable plate rotates. Only use one piece of aluminium  
foil at a time so that you do not get sparks between the separate pieces.  
Follow these guidelines when using aluminium foil in your microwave:  
Remove aluminium foil lids from containers before using in the microwave. Some lids are made  
of card with a aluminium 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 plate.  
Use shallow containers with a large surface area. Do not use containers that are more than  
1.25in (3.5cm) deep.  
Use gloves when handling hot aluminium foil containers.  
Do not completely cover food with aluminium foil. The microwave energy cannot pass through  
the aluminium foil so the food will not cook.  
Do not let aluminium foil touch the inside of the microwave.  
Do not use more than one piece of aluminium foil in the microwave at the same time.

utensils  
remarks  
Aluminum foil  
Shielding only. Small smooth pieces can be used to cover thin parts of meat  
or poultry to prevent overcooking. Arcing can occur if foil is too close to oven  
walls. The foil should be at least 1 inch (2.5cm) away from oven walls.  
Browning dish  
Follow manufacturer’s instructions. The bottom of browning dish must be at  
least 3/16 inch (5mm) above the turntable. Incorrect usage may cause the  
turntable to break.  
Dinnerware  
Glassware  
Microwave-safe only. Follow manufacturer’s instructions. Do not use cracked  
or chipped dishes.  
Heat-resistant oven glassware only. Make sure there is no metallic trim.  
Do not use cracked or chipped dishes.  
Oven cooking bags  
Follow 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 a  
short-term cooking only.  
Greaseproof paper  
Plastic containers  
Use as a cover to prevent splattering or a wrap for steaming.  
Microwave-safe only. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions. Should be  
labelled “Microwave Safe”. Some plastic containers soften, as the food inside  
gets hot. “Boiling bags” and tightly closed plastic bags should be slit, pierced  
or vented as directed by the instructions on their packaging.  
Plastic wrap  
Microwave-safe only. Use to cover food during cooking to retain moisture.  
Do not allow plastic wrap to touch food.

microwave heating categories  
Your microwave has been tested and labelled to meet the UK government’s voluntary agreement on the  
reheating of pre-cooked food.  
The heating characteristics and output power levels of microwaves are usually calculated using a relatively  
large portion of food (a 1000 gram load, IEC 60705) but many packs of pre-cooked food are sold in smaller  
packs, often about 350 grams.  
The UK government, in partnership with food companies and microwave manufacturers, has set up a  
system of heating categories to help you choose the reheating time for pre-cooked food.  
900W is the output power of the microwave. (IEC 60705)  
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 for.  
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:  
Less heating time required

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.

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 microwave. It does this through the vents on the  
back of the microwave and from around the door.  
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

cleaning your microwave  
Cleaning your microwave each time you use it will help to prevent a build up of stubborn marks that  
can be difficult to clean.  
Unplug your microwave from the mains and wait for it to completely cool down before cleaning.  
On the right hand side wall of the cavity is the wave guide cover. Microwaves are passed through  
this to enable your food to cook. It is important that this wave guide cover is kept clean at all times.  
Wipe it with mild detergent and water and leave to dry.

The microwave walls have a special enamel  
coating which makes cleaning very easy.  
Use a soft damp cloth to wipe off any  
splashes or a paper towel to mop up any  
spills. Wipe off grease with a damp cloth  
and a little detergent. Dry thoroughly. If  
grease is left to accumulate, it can smoke  
and even catch fire.

Clean behind the door ledge.  
Use warm soapy water to clean the outside  
of the microwave. Do not use abrasive  
cleaners, pads or powders that could  
scratch the surface.  
9
Unplug the microwave before cleaning the  
power cord and the microwave. Wipe with a  
damp cloth and leave to dry before plugging  
it back in.

Make sure you keep the outlet grids clean.  
Keep the front of the microwave clean so  
that the door can close properly.  
10 Treat the glass turntable plate as you would  
any glass plate. After you have used it  
for more than 15 minutes, allow it to cool  
down before you use it again. Do not wash  
the glass turntable plate in very hot water,  
doing so could crack it. Wash the turntable  
support in warm water. Do not use very  
hot water which could make it warp. Make  
sure the glass turntable plate and turntable  
support are dry before you put them back in  
the microwave.

5
Be careful not to spill water into the vents.  
Do not remove the wave guide cover: It  
is important to keep the cover clean in  
the same manner as the inside of the  
microwave. If grease is left to accumulate, it  
can smoke and even catch fire.  
6
Keep the inside of the door clean with a  
damp cloth. Use warm soapy water for  
stubborn marks and dry thoroughly. The  
inside of the door has a special coating and  
must not be cleaned with abrasive pads or  
cleaning powders.  
Do not remove any fixed parts from  
the inside of your microwave during  
cleaning or at any other time.

frequently asked questions  
If a problem does occur, it may often be due to something very minor. The following Q & A may be  
able to resolve the problem.  
questions  
answers  
Why doesn’t the food seem to  
cook?  
Check that:  
the cooking time has been set.  
the door is closed.  
the mains socket is not overloaded causing the fuse to blow.  
Why does the food seem  
Check that:  
undercooked or overcooked?  
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 shells.  
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  
microwave. Because microwave cooking works from the outside  
of food inwards, standing time lets you cook the centre of the  
food without the outside being overcooked.  
Why does my microwave  
First check that the microwave was set just as the recipe said.  
sometimes take longer to cook than Cooking times and heat settings are suggestions to help  
it says in the recipe?  
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 the food has  
been cooked properly.  
Why do I get condensation on the  
inside of the door?  
Condensation is perfectly normal, especially when you are  
cooking food with a high moisture content such as potatoes.  
Does the microwave energy get  
through the window on the door?  
No. The door has a special metal screen with holes in that lets  
you see inside but stops microwave energy from getting out.  
Steam comes out of the side of the No. The door and vents are carefully designed to let steam out  
door and vents. Can microwave  
energy get out too?  
during cooking but keep microwave energy in. The gaps are not  
big enough for microwave energy to escape.  
What happens if the microwave is  
The microwave will be damaged. Do not switch the microwave  
switched on while the microwave is on when there’s nothing inside the microwave. It is a good idea  
empty?  
to keep a cup of water in the microwave just in case someone  
accidentally starts the microwave.  
Why doesn’t the microwave’s light  
illuminate?  
Open the door. If the light does not illuminate, the bulb has  
probably blown. Call a qualified technician – do not try to change  
the bulb yourself.  
There are sparks inside the  
microwave when I use the  
microwave. Will this cause any  
damage?  
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 when you cook (except aluminium foil).  
Light is showing through the vents  
and door. Does this mean the  
microwave energy can escape?  
No. It is 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?  
Microwaves 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.
