When the cooking cycle has finished the microwave has a handy ringer function that will sound to alert you.And that’s it!Cooking has never been so easy.

Low moisture foods (eg.cereals, bagels, dried pasta, pulses and chocolate)

- These must be cooked on a low power level for a very short length of time, or preferably not at all.

High sugar content foods (eg.jams, syrups)

- These foods can become easily 'super-heated’ when cooked in a microwave oven.

Foods containing alcohol

- Foods with an alcohol content must not be cooked in a microwave as they could ignite.

Foods with a membrane or outer skin (eg.fruits, sausages, potatoes)
