Aluminium foil/
containers3/ 7Small pieces of aluminium foil can be used to shield food
from overheating. Keep foil at least 2 cm from the oven
walls, as arcing may occur. Foil containers are not
recommended unless specified by the manufacturer.
Follow instructions carefully.
Browning dishes3Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions. Do not
exceed heating times given. Be very careful as these
dishes become very hot.
China and ceramics3 / 7Porcelain, pottery, glazed earthenware and bone china
are usually suitable, except for those with metallic
decoration.
Glassware 
e.g. Pyrex ®3Care should be taken if using fine glassware as it can
break or crack if heated suddenly.
Metal7It is not recommended to use metal cookware when
using microwave power as it will arc, which can lead to
fire.
Plastic/polystyrene
e.g. fast food
containers3Care must be taken as some containers warp, melt or
discolour at high temperatures.
Cling film3Should not touch the food and must be pierced to let the
steam escape.
Freezer/roasting
bags3Must be pierced to let steam escape. Ensure bags are
suitable for microwave use. Do not use plastic or metal
ties, as they may melt or catch fire due to the metal
arcing.
Paper \b plates, cups
and kitchen paper3Only use for warming or to absorb moisture. Care must
be taken as overheating may cause fire.
Straw and wooden
containers3Always attend the oven when using these materials as
overheating may cause fire.
Recycled paper and

\f.3Microwave cooking
Microwave cooking advice
CompositionFoods high in fat or sugar (e.g. Christmas pudding, mince pies) require less
heating time. Care should be taken as overheating can lead to fire.
SizeFor even cooking make all the pieces the same size.
Temperature of
foodThe initial temperature of food affects the amount of cooking time needed.
Cut into foods with fillings (e.g. jam doughnuts) to release heat or steam.
ArrangePlace the thickest parts of food towards the outside of the dish (e.g. chicken
drumsticks).
CoverUse vented microwave cling film or a suitable lid.
PierceFoods with a shell, skin or membrane must be pierced in several places
before cooking or reheating as steam will build up and may cause food to
explode (e.g. potatoes, fish, chicken, sausages).  
IMPORTANT! Eggs should not be heated using microwave power as
they may explode, even after cooking has ended (e.g. poached, hard
boiled).
Stir, turn and
rearrangeFor even cooking it is essential to stir, turn and rearrange food during cooking.
Always stir and rearrange from the outside towards the centre.
StandStanding time is necessary after cooking to enable the heat to disperse
equally throughout the food.
ShieldWarm areas can be shielded with small pieces of foil, which reflect microwaves
(e.g. legs and wings on a chicken).
\f.2 Microwave cooking advice
Your oven has 6 power levels.
Power 
settingSuggested use
900 W/HIGHUsed for fast cooking or reheating (e.g. soup, casseroles, canned food, hot
beverages, vegetables, fish).
630 WUsed for longer cooking of dense foods such as roast joints, meat loaf and
plated meals, also for sensitive dishes such as cheese sauce and sponge cakes.
At this reduced setting, the sauce will not boil over and food will cook evenly
without over cooking at the sides.
450 WFor dense foods which require a long cooking time when cooked
conventionally (e.g. beef dishes) it is advisable to use this power setting to
ensure the meat will be tender.
270 W/
DEFROSTTo defrost, select this power setting, to ensure that the dish defrosts evenly. This
setting is also ideal for simmering rice, pasta, dumplings and cooking egg
custard.
90 WFor gentle defrosting (e.g. cream gateaux or pastry).
0 WFor standing/kitchen timer.
