Defrosting by Weight

Most frozen foods can easily be

defrosted by weight.

$ Determine the weight of the food.

$ Place the food in the oven.

$ Set the Power Selector to M.Low

‘Defrost’ .

$ Turn the Timer to the appropriate

weight setting on the outer ring.

$ The oven will now defrost the food.

In the example, the weight is 200

grams and the food will take three

minutes to defrost.

$ Please read all the defrosting hints

in the section below.

$Tips for good cooking

$Please read this section together with the Safety Guide

on Page 2.

$IMPORTANT NOTE: Raw meat should never be fully cooked in a

microwave oven. You may partially cook raw meat in a microwave

provided you complete the cooking process by conventional

methods - i.e grilling, roasting etc.

$ Stir liquids and purees before during and after cooking to

distribute the heat evenly. Mashed potato will cook more

evenly and more thoroughly if lightly covered.

$ Never tightly cover food. Always cover it loosely.

$ Do not allow plastic film to touch food as it may chemically

break down or melt or even catch fire and contaminate the

food.

$ 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 tapered foods. Control

the shape to get more uniform results.

$ 6-7 minutes per 500 gr. will cook most fruit and vegetables.

Seafood takes less time.

$ Different foods require different temperatures to cook. Add

more minutes as you drop the power.

$ Up to 20% of the cooking takes place after the oven turns off so

always remember that your food will continue cooking after

you've removed it.

$ Food that takes an hour in to cook in a regular oven should take

around 15 minutes in the microwave.

$ Foods 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.

$ Rotate large items of food occasionally during cooking to

encourage even heat distribution.

$ Food cooks best and reheats better in a round dish or a dish

with curved sides.

$ Salt attracts microwaves. Don't just sprinkle it on food before

cooking, stir it in or add it later.

$ Fats and sugars attract microwaves - thoroughly mix sugar

with other ingredients. Care should be taken 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.

$ Hints for reheating 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.

$ Hints for defrosting

$ 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 can

flourish. Any raw meat must be fully defrosted and then

cooked by normal cooking processes, i.e grilled, roasted, etc.

Do not cook defrosted raw meat in a microwave oven.

$ When defrosting, 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 and Smoke

$ 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 .

$ Testing Your Oven

$ 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.

TROUBLESHOOTING:

$ If the oven fails to work or will not respond to

commands.

$ Check that the oven is plugged in securely. If it is not, unplug

from the outlet, wait 10 seconds and plug it in again securely.

$ Unplug the oven and inspect the plug fuse. If this is intact, leave

the oven for 30 minutes and then plug the oven in again. The

oven should now work normally.

$ Check for a blown mains fuse or a tripped circuit breaker. If

these are intact, test the outlet with another appliance.

$ Make sure that the oven door closes fully and securely.

$ If none of the above rectifies the situation, contact the Tesco

helpline.

$ Do not try to adjust or repair the oven yourself.

Cleaning and Care

These steps should be taken after every use.

$ Disconnect the power supply and wait for the

appliance to completely cool down.

$ Remove the turntable support ring and the turntable

and wash then in warm soapy water.

$ Clean the oven cavity, the outer edge of the cavity,

and the oven door with water and a mild detergent. A

special microwave oven cleaner is not necessary. Do

not use scouring pads, or other abrasives.

$ Wipe the outer surfaces and control panel with a

damp soft cloth.

$ If liquids have been splashed on the wall of the oven

cavity, they must be fully removed otherwise smoke

may occur when the appliance is next used.

$ If the cavity emits odours, boil a cup of water with a

squeeze of lemon juice for 5-7 min. to remove them.

$ Dry all parts thoroughly and replace them.
