When cooking with your oven: Only use utensils that are suitable for use in microwave ovens. When heating food in plastic or paper containers, keep an eye on the oven due to the possibility of ignition. If you use plastic film when re-heating or cooking food use only film designed for microwave ovens and ensure that the film does not touch the food. If necessary, prick the film all over to allow steam to escape. Grill & microwave/grill cooking: Do not use paper or plastic containers, or plastic film. Utensils for combination-cooking should be heatproof and microwave safe. Use your microwave oven only to heat food. Do not heat oil for frying, or try to fry food in the microwave oven. The oil could catch fire. Liquids and other foods must not be heated in sealed containers since they are liable to explode. If covered containers are used, the covers should be loose. Move such containers to and from the oven with care as food may splash and the lid may fall. Eggs in their shells and whole hard-boiled eggs, fruits in thick skins and nuts in their shells should not be heated in the microwave as they may explode even after microwave heating has ended.

Items such as potatoes, sausages and chestnuts must be peeled or pierced thoroughly before cooking. The contents of feeding bottles and baby food jars shall be stirred or shaken and the temperature checked before consumption, in order to avoid burns. Microwave heating of beverages can result in delayed eruptive boiling, therefore care must be taken when handling the container. Food can burn if overcooked. If you are unsure about how long to cook a food for, start with short cooking time, and check the food regularly. The oven should be cleaned regularly and any food deposits removed. Failure to maintain the oven in a clean condition could lead to deterioration of the surface that could adversely affect the life of the appliance and possibly result in hazardous situation. If smoke is observed, switch off or unplug the appliance and keep the door closed in order to stifle any flames.

Microwave cooking is very quick and efficient. Microwave cooking can also help preserve the minerals and vitamins in many foods. The microwave power output of your oven is 800 watts. Because the temperature in a microwave oven is relatively cool (unlike a normal oven) you have to remember that the food can be extremely hot. Always take precautions when handling containers. Radio Interference: Operation of the microwave oven can cause interference to your radio, TV or similar equipment. When there is interference, it may be reduced or eliminated by taking the following measures: Clean the door and sealing surface of the oven. •� Reorient the receiving antenna of radio or television. •� Relocate the microwave oven with respect to the receiver. •� Move the microwave oven away from the receiver. •� Cooking In your Oven Your oven can carry out a number of cooking processes. Basic Microwave Cooking •� Basic Grilling •� Microwave/Grill combination cooking •� In this last process, food is partially cooked by microwaves and then finished by grilling. This accelerates the cooking process whilst maintaining the finish and texture of traditionally cooked foods. There is also a programme that enables you to defrost frozen food and then combination cook it thus completing the entire cooking process in one operation. Preset cooking programmes Your oven has 8 preset programmes. These programmes allow you to automate the cooking of a range of standard foods for greater convenience. So you can just select the programme, dial in the amount of food you want to cook and the oven will do the rest! Suitable and unsuitable containers Some basic guidelines are given in the table below. Cookware Microwave Grill Combination Heat-resistant glass Non heat –resistant glass Heat-resistant ceramics Microwave-safe plastics Kitchen paper Metal trays/metal racks Aluminium foil Metal foil containers (*Combination refers to microwave + grill cooking) Use heat resistant porcelain, glass or plastic containers made for microwave ovens, otherwise there is a risk of shrinking, deforming or burning. Metal containers, or containers having metal decoration or trim are not suitable for use with your microwave oven. When you are combination cooking, the container must be fully heatproof as well as suitable for microwave cooking. Avoid containers which narrow at the top as these may cause the contents to erupt when removed from the oven. Tesco stores stock a wide range of microwave containers and wraps designed for microwave ovens. Plastic films should not touch food as they may gas, melt or break down when hot and contaminate food. Wax paper, oven cooking bags, parchment paper and white microwave paper towels are safe for microwave use. Wooden objects may catch fire - so avoid their use. Do not use aluminium foil for microwave cooking unless the recipe requires it. Keep foil at least 25mm away from the oven walls.
