SF460MBP_EN_REGS.qxp:SF460MBP 30/10/13 15:51 Page 2 Warning! The appliance should be inspected for damage to the door seals and door seal areas and if these areas are damaged the appliance should not be operated until it has been repaired by a service technician trained by the manufacturer. Warning! Do not attempt to tamper with or make any adjustments or repairs to the door, control panel housing, safety interlock switches or any other part of the oven.
SF460MBP_EN_REGS.qxp:SF460MBP 30/10/13 15:51 Page 3 This oven is intended for Counter-top use only. It is not intended for built-in use or use inside a cupboard. For countertop use: Oven must be placed on a flat, stable surface 850 mm above floor level. For proper operation, the oven must have sufficient air flow, i.e. 5 cm/2" at one side, the other being open; 15 cm/6" clear over the top; 10 cm/4" at the rear.
SF460MBP_EN_REGS.qxp:SF460MBP 30/10/13 15:51 Page 4 When heating liquids, e.g. soup, sauces and beverages in your oven, overheating the liquid beyond boiling point can occur without evidence of bubbling. This could result in a sudden boil over of the hot liquid. The contents of feeding bottles and baby food jars are to be stirred or shaken. The temperature has to be checked before consumption to avoid burns. Do not cook eggs in their shells and whole hard-boiled eggs by MICROWAVE.
IP4984_39Q57BP_Eng_00_140815:SF460MBP 2014-8-15 15:58 Page 5 Failure to maintain the oven in a clean condition could lead to deterioration of surfaces that could affect the life of the appliance and possibly result in a hazardous situation. Do not use harsh, abrasive cleaners or sharp metal scrapers to clean the oven door glass since they can scratch the surface, which may result in shattering of the glass. Only use utensils that are suitable for use in microwave ovens.

Christmas puddings and other foods high in fats or sugar, eg. jam, mince pies, must not be over heated. These foods must never be left unattended as with over cooking these foods can ignite. See page 38.
SF460MBP_EN_REGS.qxp:SF460MBP 30/10/13 15:51 Page 13 Important Information – Read Carefully 9. Meat Thermometer. Use a meat thermometer to check the degree of cooking of meat 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. Due to the possibility of ignition, do not leave a conventional meat thermometer in the oven when microwaving. 10. Paper, Plastic.
SF460MBP_EN_REGS.qxp:SF460MBP 30/10/13 15:51 Page 14 Microwave energy has been used in this country to cook and reheat food since early experiments with RADAR in World War II. Microwaves are present in the atmosphere all the time, both naturally and from manmade sources. Manmade sources include radar, radio, television, telecommunication links and mobile phones.
SF460MBP_EN_REGS.qxp:SF460MBP 30/10/13 15:51 Standing time Page 15 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. Dense foods e.g.
SF460MBP_EN_REGS.qxp:SF460MBP 30/10/13 15:51 Page 16 Dish size Quantity 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 more quickly. Small quantities cook faster than large quantities, also small meals will reheat more quickly than large portions. Spacing Shape Foods cook more quickly and evenly if spaced apart. NEVER pile foods on top of each other. Even shapes cook evenly.
SF460MBP_EN_REGS.qxp:SF460MBP 30/10/13 15:51 Page 17 Arranging Starting temperature Individual foods e.g. chicken portions or chops, should be placed on a dish so that the thicker parts are to the outside. 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 5-8ºC Turning and stirring Liquids Some foods require stirring during cooking.
SF460MBP_EN_REGS.qxp:SF460MBP 30/10/13 15:51 Page 18 Containers to use Choosing the correct container is a very important factor in deciding the success or failure of your cooking. Testing Dishes for Suitability When unsure that a cooking container is suitable for use in your microwave, check by the following test: 1. Fill a microwave safe measuring jug with 300 ml (½ pt) cold water. 2. Place it on the flat table along side the dish to be tested.
SF460MBP_EN_REGS.qxp:SF460MBP 30/10/13 15:51 Page 19 Foil/metal containers NEVER ATTEMPT TO COOK IN FOIL OR METAL containers – the microwaves cannot pass through and the food will not heat evenly – this may also damage your oven. Use wooden kebab sticks instead of metal skewers. Pottery, earthenware, stoneware If completely glazed, these dishes are suitable.
SF460MBP_EN_REGS.qxp:SF460MBP 30/10/13 15:51 Page 20 Paper Plain white absorbent kitchen paper (kitchen towel) can be used for covering blind pastry cases and for covering bacon to prevent splattering BUT FOR SHORT COOKING TIMES ONLY. NEVER RE-USE A PIECE OF KITCHEN TOWEL. ALWAYS USE A FRESH PIECE OF PAPER FOR EACH DISH. Avoid kitchen paper containing manmade fibres. If you are using branded re-cycled kitchen towel, check first that it is recommended for microwave use.

SF460MBP_EN_REGS.qxp:SF460MBP 30/10/13 15:51 Page 27 By selecting 270 W, from the microwave power pad, and setting a time, you can defrost food in your microwave. The biggest problem is getting the inside defrosted before the outside starts to cook. The name for this type of defrost is cyclic and during the standing stages there is not any microwave power in the oven, although the light will remain on.

Fish is cooked when it flakes easily and becomes opaque. For fish with a strong odour, eliminate the smell after cooking by placing 600 ml (1 pt) of boiling water and 1 sliced lemon in a large bowl, cook on 250 W for 20 mins.

Defrosted joints of meat must be allowed to STAND for a minimum of 30 mins. before cooking to ensure the centre is fully defrosted. Fat Large amounts of fat absorb microwave energy and can cause the meat next to it to overcook. Always choose joints that aren’t excessively fatty.
