ELECTRICAL INFORMATION
When Using the Convection Oven or Grill:
CAUTION
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK DO NOT DISMANTLE
AboutYour Microwave Oven
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.
:
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. Metal skewers, ties, etc. should be removed from food
before cooking.
Radio Interference
Suitable and unsuitable containers:
Some basic guidelines are given in the table below.
(*Combination refers to microwave + grill and microwave +
convection cooking)
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.

Tips for good microwave cooking
Your oven can carry out a number of cooking processes.
Always follow the advice in the Safety Guide on Page 2 for
safe, effective cooking procedures.

Basic Microwave Cooking
Basic Grilling
Convection Cooking ( standard convection oven)
Microwave/Grill combination cooking
Microwave/Convection combination cooking
Arrange food in the dish so that the thicker part is on the outside
and the thinner part inside for more even cooking. Fold under the
thin edges of fish fillets and other tapered foods. Where it is
possible to control the shape, e.g. by tying a meat roast into a
cylinder, more uniform results will be obtained.
5-6 minutes per 500 g. will cook most diced foods including
meat, poultry fruit and vegetables. Seafood takes less time.
Different foods require different temperatures to cook
properly. Add more minutes as you drop the power.
About 20% of the cooking takes place after the oven turns off
so your food will continue cooking after you've removed it.
Food that takes an hour in to cook in a regular oven should
take around15 minutes in the microwave.
Foods such as cakes with baking powder should stand a few
minutes before cooking to allow the leavening agents to
work.
If a recipe calls for milk and water, reduce the water.
Stir liquids and purees before during and after cooking.
Rotate large items of food occasionally during cooking to
encourage even heat distribution.
Food cooks better in a dish with round or curved sides.
Salt attracts microwaves. Don't just sprinkle it on food before
cooking, stir it in or add it later.
To ensure better distribution of heat when cooking large
pieces of meat in the microwave, remove the bone, cook on
medium power for longer periods of time, rotate twice
during cooking .
Fats and sugars attract microwaves - thoroughly mix sugar
with other ingredients. Take care when cooking foods with
high sugar or fat contents as they can reach very high
temperatures.
Handle pastry-wrapped foods like mince pies carefully as the
filling gets hotter than the pastry.
In these above two processes, food is partially cooked by
microwaves and then finished by either grilling or oven cooking.
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. Some programmes use one cooking
method, others use combination cooking. So you can just select
the programme, dial in the amount of food you want to cook and
the oven will do the rest!� Stuffing in poultry does not have an opportunity to
completely cook, because the meat outside is heated
quickly. Stuffing for poultry should be cooked beforehand
and inserted later.

Introduction
Unpacking the Microwave Oven
Please make sure you read all the instructions and the safety
notes carefully and that you familiarise yourself with the features
and operation of your oven before use.
Remove the polystyrene top packing pieces and lift out the oven.
Unpack the oven completely removing all the protective tape.
Open the oven door. In the oven compartment you should find
the turntable and rotating support ring, the metal non-stick
grilling plate and a safety handle. Unpack all these items.
Check the oven carefully, especially the door, door seals and the
locking mechanism. If any items are missing or damaged, contact
your nearestTesco store for assistance.
If possible retain the packaging. If you dispose of the packaging,
do so having regard to recycling provisions in your area.
Preliminaries
Place your microwave oven on a flat, level stable work surface
away from sources of cold, heat and damp.
For

good ventilation, the rear of the oven should have a clearance
of at least 10 cm from the wall, the free distance above the top
should be at least 20 cm and there should be a gap of at least 5cm
at both sides.
The oven should be plugged directly into the wall socket and not
via an adaptor or any other power sharing device.
Open the oven door.
Check that the rotor is on the motor drive spindle. If not, you
will need to attach it. There is a flat
machined on the motor spindle to
hold the rotor secure while the oven
is operating. Rotate the rotor
slightly back and forth until it drops
securely into place over the spindle.
Place theTurntable Support Ring in the oven
Lower the turntable onto the Rotor. There is a recess in the
turntable to lock securely on the rotor.
You must always operate your microwave oven with the
turntable assembly properly in place.

Use a metal grill rack or trivet so that the food can drain.
Do not overload the grill rack. Space the food out.
Brushing the grill rack very sparingly with vegetable oil will
stop food adhering to it and make washing up easier.
Always stand the grill rack in a heatproof ceramic dish. This
will catch drips and help keep the oven clean.
Do not use the grill without the turntable in place. The
turntable helps the food to cook evenly.
When removing or turning over food use heatproof tongs or
a similar implement.
When removing or inserting the provided grill rack into a hot
oven use the supplied safety handle. If you are using an
alternative rack, use a suitable heatproof implement.
Combination Microwave and grill cooking offers you the speed
of a microwave oven with the finish and taste of a conventional
grill. To help you realise the potential of this form of cooking, we
strongly advise you to purchase a recipe book dedicated to this
cooking art.
There are two Combi-grill programs. They both work in exactly
the same way but have different settings. Both microwave the
food first and then grill it to give a browned, tasty finish.

The AUTO COOKING MENU facility has
8 settings for cooking or reheating
different foods.
Auto Cooking is designed to automate
the cooking of commonly used basic
foods. The menu is printed on the
Control Panel for handy reference.
The result of auto cooking depends on
factors such as the temperature of the
food, its shape and size, personal
preference and so on. If you find the
result not entirely satisfactory, adjust
the cooking times to personal taste.

Two-thirds of the way through defrosting(in this case after 4
min.) the oven will beep 5 times and the word “TURN” will flash.
Open the door, turn the food over, or otherwise arrange it for
even defrosting and then close the door to continue defrosting.
We strongly advise you not to ignore this important procedure. If

until the defrosting cycle has ended.
You should now ensure the food is fully defrosted before
proceeding. If the food is not defrosted program the oven in one
minute increments until totally defrosted.
Remember that the oven will beep 5 times 2/3 of the way through
the defrosting cycle to remind you to adjust the food!

Heat leftovers and pre-cooked food to at least 70°C. Food
should be hot and steaming before it is served.
When re-heating liquids such as meat stews see that the
liquid boils for around 3-5 minutes to ensure the pieces of
meat are completely heated through.
Only defrost food in the microwave if you plan to cook the
food immediately after it has thawed. Some areas of the food
may begin to cook during defrosting, which can allow
bacteria to flourish.
Remove the food from the wrapping, place it on a microwave
safe dish. Rotate and re-arrange food during defrosting.
Where appropriate, stir the food and if possible, separate the
food items and remove those which have already defrosted.
Steam is a natural product of microwave cooking. It escapes
from the vents in the top and rear of the appliance. These
vents should never be blocked.
Steam may condense in and around the oven during cooking
and should be dried off after use.
If during cooking, smoke starts to come from the oven do
NOT open the oven door! Immediately switch off at the
mains, unplug the oven and wait for the smoke to completely
subside and the oven to fully cool down before removing the
food.
Before you use your microwave oven again, consult a service
technician and have the oven tested .
Place a cup of water in the oven and heat it on full power for 2
minutes. If the water gets hot the oven is working.
In the extremely unlikely event that the oven cavity temperature
reaches 300°C, the oven automatically enters into self protection
mode. The oven will beep once every second until the oven cools
down to a safe working temperature.
Press the button twice to restore normal
operation.
If, 5 minutes after convection cooking starts, the temperature of
oven cavity is lower than 40°C, the oven will automatically enter
into protection mode.
The screen will display error code
Press the button twice to restore normal
operation.
A protection error may occur to the system sensor, which will
cause the oven to self-protect.
Depending on the nature of the internal error the screen will
display or , and the oven will emit a series of beeps.
Press the button twice to restore normal
operation.
Press the button twice.
Unplug the oven from the mains supply.
Open the oven door a few mm and wait for 30 minutes.
After 30 minutes, close the door and replug the oven into the
mains.
The display should now read indicating normal conditions
have been restored.
