How to use a microwave

Operating your microwave:

At Beko, we have a range of different microwaves available. Whether you have purchased a freestanding model or a built-in appliance, our microwaves are designed to save you time and effort in the kitchen.

The specific operating instructions for your microwave will depend on the model you have purchased. To understand how to use your appliance, please refer to your product manual. Your manual can be downloaded by clicking here. To help you get the best results from your microwave, we pulled together our top microwaving tips below:

• When cooking food with different shapes and thicknesses, place the smallest, thinnest part into the middle of your cookware. This will ensure that this piece is cooked last.
• If the item you are cooking is covered in cling film, a cooking bag or grease-proof paper, make a hole or leave a small opening to allow steam to escape.
• Smaller pieces of food will cook faster than large pieces. Equally, regular-shaped food will cook faster than irregularly shaped food. To ensure food is cooked evenly, cut it into small, regular pieces.
• For best results, always rest food after defrosting, cooking, or reheating.
• To ensure food is cooked/heated evenly, remove your food, and stir at different intervals during the cooking process.
