HOW TO USE THE MICROWAVE

Put the food to be cooked or defrosted in a suitable microwave safe 
container, cover the food with a suitable cover or with microwave safe 
cling film (pierce the film with a fork).

Put the container into the microwave oven and close the door.

Choose the power level you want by turning the

POWER 

dial.

Choose the cooking time in minutes by turning the 

TIME

dial. Follow the 

manufacturers guidelines on the pack. The maximum time is 30 minutes.

If you want to cook for a time less than 2 minutes, turn the TIME dial 
past 2 minutes and then return it to the time required.

As soon as the timer has been set the microwave will start to cook or 
defrost the food.

Cooking or defrosting can be interrupted at any time to stir or check the 
food cooking progress, by opening the door. The microwave oven will 
automatically continue the cycle with the remaining time, when the door 
is closed.

After the cooking time is finished, a bell will sound and the microwave 
oven will automatically turn off.

Allow the food to stand for 30 seconds to 1 minute and stir any liquids 
before serving.

If there is time remaining on the  dial, rotate the dial back to ‘0’. The 

microwave bell will sound.

WARNING: Do not use the oven when empty or for warming plates.

Always keep the oven cavity, door assembly and waveguide cover clean
