About Your Microwave Oven
The microwave power output of your oven is 800 watts.
Because the temperature in a microwave oven is relatively cool you have to remember
that the food can be extremely hot. Always take precautions when handling
containers.
Auto Cook buttons
Your oven has 8 Auto Cook keys. These allow you to automate the cooking of a range
of standard foods for greater convenience.
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.
•
Suitable and unsuitable 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.
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.
