Introducing microwave cooking 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 booklet.
Introducing microwave cooking Microwave ovens cook food using microwave energy that is similar to naturally occurring radio waves. Normally, these "waves" would fade as they disappeared into the atmosphere but in a microwave oven they are concentrated onto food causing it to heat up. Safety Never use equipment made of metal, except 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.
Introducing microwave cooking More about getting the most from microwave cooking Microwave heating categories Your oven has been tested and labelled to meet the government's voluntary agreement on the reheating of pre-cooked food. Remember Always check that the food is evenly cooked and piping hot before you serve it. 900W E 900W is the output power of the oven. E is the heating category for your oven.
Steam When you microwave food, steam is created as water in the food heats up and evaporates. Introducing microwave cooking The steam formed during microwave cooking is entirely safe. It has to escape from the microwave to prevent pressure from building up inside the oven. It does this through the vents on the back of the oven and from around the door.
Introducing microwave cooking Safety For your safety, the microwave stops if the oven door is opened during cooking. Close the door to continue the cooking cycle. Checking your microwave Check your microwave is working after unpacking and whenever you think it might not be working properly. 1 You must always use the turntable and ring whenever you use the microwave. Place a cup of water on the turntable. Make sure the cup is microwave-safe – it should not have any decorative metal trim.

Questions and answers If you have a problem that is not covered in these questions and answers please contact the store where you purchased your microwave. Please note: If you call a Mastercare engineer out to your home and the product is found not to be faulty, or the instruction book has not been followed, our product guarantee is not applicable and a call-out fee will be charged.
Questions and answers Q A Q A Q A 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 door and vents. Can microwave energy get out too? No. The door and vents are carefully designed to let steam out during cooking but keep microwave energy in. The gaps are not big enough for microwave energy to escape.
