If you have never used a microwave oven before, you will realise that a microwave

oven uses a totally different method of converting energy into heat. This requires an

understanding of what exactly happens to food when placed in the oven. This is

explained in the following pages.

After reading the introductory chapter, I am sure you will be able to master the basic

technique and thereby develop a rm understanding of your new oven.

Start experimenting now, and enjoy the rst class results you will achieve by using

your new microwave oven.

Accessories

The oven comes equipped with a

variety of accessories. Always

follow the directions given for use

of the accessories.

Roller ring

 The roller ring and the oven oor

should be cleaned frequently to

prevent noise and build-up of

remaining food.

 The roller ring must always be

used for cooking together with

the glass tray.

Glass tray

 Always operate the oven with the

roller ring and glass tray in place.

 Only use the glass tray

specically designed for this

oven. Do not substitute with any

other glass tray.

 If the glass tray is hot, let it cool

before cleaning or placing in

water.

 The glass tray can turn in either

direction.

 If the food or cooking vessel on

the glass tray touches the oven

walls and stops the tray rotating,

the tray will automatically rotate

in the opposite direction. This is

normal. Open oven door,

reposition the food and restart.

 Do not cook foods directly on the

glass tray. Always place food in a

microwave safe dish.

 While cooking, the glass tray may

vibrate. This will not affect

cooking performance.

NN-ST34HW_B_QPG.indd 4 2017/06/02 10:58:35

Important

If the recommended cooking time

is exceeded, the food will be

spoiled and in extreme

circumstances could catch re

and possibly damage the interior

of the oven.

Short cooking time

As microwave cooking time is

much shorter than other cooking

methods, it is essential that

recommended cooking time is not

exceeded without rst checking the

food.

Factors that may affect cooking

time are: preferred degree of

cooking, starting temperature,

altitude, volume, size and shape of

foods and utensils used. As you

become familiar with the oven, you

will be able to adjust these factors.

It is better to undercook rather than

overcook foods. If food is

undercooked, it can always be

returned to the oven for further

cooking. If food is overcooked,

nothing can be done. Always start

with minimum cooking time.

Small quantities of food

Take care when heating small

quantities of food as these can

easily burn, dry out or catch re if

cooked too long. Always set short

cooking time and check the food

frequently.

Foods low in moisture

Take care when heating foods low

in moisture, e.g. bread items,

chocolate, popcorn, biscuits and

pastries. These can easily burn,

dry out or catch on re if cooked

too long. We do not recommend

heating foods low in moisture such

as popcorn or bread.

This oven has been developed for

food use only.

We do not recommend to use for

heating non food items such as

wheat bags or hot water bottles.

Reheating

It is essential that reheated food is

served “piping hot”.

Remove the food from the oven

and check that it is “piping hot”, i.e.

steam is being emitted from all

parts and all sauce is bubbling.

(You may choose to check the food

has reached 72 °C with a food

thermometer – but remember do

not use this thermometer inside the

microwave.)

For foods that cannot be stirred,

e.g. lasagne, shepherds pie, the

centre should be cut with a knife to

test it is well heated through. Even if

a manufacturer’s packet instructions

have been followed always check

the food is piping hot before serving

and if in doubt return your food to

the oven for further heating.

Standing time

Standing time refers to the period

at the end of cooking or reheating

when food is left before being

eaten, i.e. it is a rest time which

allows the heat in the food to

continue to conduct to the centre,

thus eliminating cold spots.

NN-ST34HW_B_QPG.indd 5 2017/06/02 10:58:35

Important safety instructions

Lids

Always remove the lids of jars and

containers and takeaway food

containers before you microwave

the food. If the lid remains, then

steam and pressure might build up

inside and cause an explosion

even after the microwave cooking

has stopped.

Babies bottles and food jars

When reheating babies bottles

always remove top and teat. Liquid

at the top of the bottle will be much

hotter than that at the bottom and

must be shaken thoroughly before

checking the temperature. This

should be carried out before

consumption to avoid burns. See

page 24.

Boiled eggs

Eggs in their shell and whole

hard-boiled eggs should not be

heated in microwave ovens since

they may explode even after

microwave heating has ended.

Foods with skins

Potatoes, apples, egg yolk, whole

vegetables and sausages are

examples of food with non porous

skins. These must be pierced using

a fork before cooking to prevent

bursting.

Paper and plastic

When heating food in plastic or paper

containers, keep an eye on the oven

due to the possibility of ignition. Do

not use wire twist-ties with roasting

bags as arcing will occur.

Do not use re-cycled paper products,

e.g. Kitchen roll unless they say they

are specically designed for use in a

microwave oven. These products

contain impurities which may cause

sparks and/or res when used.

Liquids

Microwave heating of beverages

can result in delayed eruptive

boiling, therefore care should be

taken when handling the container.

To prevent the possibility of sudden

boil the following steps should be

taken:

a) Avoid using straight-sided

containers with narrow necks.

b) Do not overheat.

c) Stir the liquid before placing the

container in the oven and again

halfway through the heating

time.

d) After heating, allow to stand in

the oven for a short time, stirring

again before carefully removing

the container.

Deep fat frying

Do not attempt to deep fat fry in

your oven.

Arcing

Arcing may occur accidentally if a

metal container has been used or

the incorrect weight of food is used.

Arcing is ashes of blue light seen

in the microwave oven. If this

occurs, stop the machine

immediately. If the oven is left

unattended and this continues it

can damage the machine.

Meat thermometer

Use a meat thermometer to check the

degree of cooking of joints and poultry

only when meat has been removed

from the microwave. If undercooked,

return to the oven and cook for a few

more minutes at the recommended

power level. Do not leave a

conventional meat thermometer in the

oven when microwaving.

NN-ST34HW_B_QPG.indd 6 2017/06/02 10:58:35

General guidelines

CLEANING

As microwaves work on food

particles, keep your oven clean at all

times. Stubborn spots of food can be

removed by using a microwave spray

cleaner, sprayed onto a soft cloth.

Always wipe the oven dry after

cleaning.

Refer to “Care of your oven” on page

26 for details on cleaning.

The warranty only applies if the

product has been used in accordance

with the operating instructions under

normal use and reasonable care.

STANDING TIME

Dense foods e.g. meat, jacket potatoes

and cakes, require standing time

(inside or outside of the oven) after

cooking, to allow heat to nish

conducting to the centre of the food to

cook through completely. Wrap meat

joints and jacket potatoes in aluminium

foil while standing. Meat joints need

approx. 10–15 minutes, jacket potatoes

5 minutes. Other foods such as plated

meals, vegetables, sh etc. require

2–5 minutes standing. If food is not

cooked after standing time, return to

the oven and cook for additional time.

After defrosting food, standing time

should also be allowed.

QUANTITY

Small quantities cook faster than large

quantities, and small meals will reheat

more quickly than large portions.

SPACING

Foods cook more quickly and evenly if

spaced apart. NEVER pile foods on top

of each other.

PIERCING

The skin or membrane on some foods

will cause steam to build up during

cooking.

These foods must be pierced or a strip

of skin should be peeled off before

cooking to allow the steam to escape.

Eggs, potatoes, apples, sausages etc,

will all need to be pierced before

cooking. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO BOIL

EGGS IN THEIR SHELLS.

COVERING

Cover foods with microwave cling lm

or a lid. Cover sh, vegetables,

casseroles, soups. Do not cover cakes,

sauces, jacket potatoes or pastry

items.

NN-ST34HW_B_QPG.indd 7 2017/06/02 10:58:35

General guidelines

MOISTURE CONTENT

Many fresh foods e.g. vegetables and

fruit, vary in their moisture content

throughout the season. For this reason

cooking time may have to be adjusted.

Dry ingredients e.g. rice, pasta, can dry

out during storage so cooking time may

differ.

DENSITY

Porous airy foods heat more quickly

than dense heavy foods.

SHAPE

Even shapes cook evenly. Food cooks

better by microwave when in a round

container rather than square.

STARTING TEMPERATURE

The colder the food, the longer it takes

to heat up. Food from a fridge takes

longer to reheat than food at room

temperature. Food temperature should

be between 5 and 8 °C before cooking.

LIQUIDS

All liquids must be STIRRED BEFORE,

DURING AND AFTER heating. Water

must be stirred before and during

heating, to avoid eruption.

Do not heat liquids that have previously

been boiled. DO NOT OVERHEAT.

TURNING AND STIRRING

Some foods require stirring during

cooking. Meat and poultry should be

turned after half of the cooking time.

ARRANGING

Individual foods e.g. chicken portions

or chops, should be placed on a dish

so that the thicker parts are towards

the outside.

CHECKING FOOD

It is essential that food is checked

during and after a recommended

cooking time, even if an AUTO

PROGRAMME has been used (just as

you would check food cooked in a

conventional oven). Return the food to

the oven for further cooking if

necessary.

DISH SIZE

Follow the dish sizes given in the

recipes, as these affect the cooking

and reheating times.

A quantity of food spread in a bigger

dish cooks and reheats faster.

CLING FILM

Cling lm helps keep the food moist

and the trapped steam assists in

speeding up cooking time. Pierce

before cooking to allow excess steam

to escape. Always take care when

removing cling lm from a dish as the

build-up of steam will be very hot.
