Thank you for purchasing your new Kenwood Microwave. These operating instructions will help you use it properly and safely. We recommend that you spend some time reading this instruction manual in order that you fully understand all the operational features it offers.
getting ready This microwave is designed for domestic use. It should not be used for commercial catering. 1. After unpacking your microwave, check that it has not been damaged whilst in the box. Make sure there are no dents on the microwave, and the door closes properly. A dented or damaged microwave could allow microwave energy to escape.
introducing microwave cooking Always remember the basic safeguards you would follow when using any cooking equipment or handling hot food. See below for basic guidelines in microwave cooking. If you are unfamiliar with using a microwave, refer to the back of this instruction booklet for more information.
checking your cooking utensils Most heat-resistant, non-metallic cooking utensils are safe to use in your microwave. If you are not sure you can use a utensil in your microwave, follow this simple test: 1. Put the utensil into the microwave next to a cup of water – use a cup that you know is microwave safe.
microwave heating categories Your microwave has been tested and labelled to meet the government’s voluntary agreement on the reheating of pre-cooked food. The heating characteristics and output power levels of microwaves are usually calculated using a relatively large portion of food (a 1000 gram load, IEC 705) but many packs of pre-cooked food are sold in smaller packs, often about 350 grams.
steam When you microwave food, steam is created as water in the food heats up and evaporates. The steam formed during microwave cooking is entirely safe. It has to escape from the microwave to prevent pressure from building up inside the microwave. It does this through the vents on the back of the microwave and from around the door.
