Precautions

General
THIS APPLIANCE IS DESIGNED FOR DOMESTIC USE ONLY!
THE APPLIANCE SHOULD NOT BE OPERATED without food in the oven when using microwaves. Operation in this manner is likely to damage the appliance.
THE VENTILATION OPENINGS on the oven must not be covered. Blocking the air intake or exhaust vents may cause damage to the oven and poor cooking results.
IF YOU PRACTICE OPERATING the oven, put a glass of water inside. The water will absorb the microwave energy and the oven will not be damaged.
Do NOT STORE or use this appliance outdoors. Do NOT USE this product near a kitchen sink, in a wet basement, or near a swimming pool, or similar.
Do not use the cavity for any storage purposes.
REMOVE WIRE TWIST-TIES from paper or plastic bags before placing bag in the oven.

DEEP-FRYING
DO NOT USE YOUR MICROWAVE oven for deep-frying, because the oil temperature cannot be controlled.


USE HOT PADS OR OVEN MITTS to prevent burns, when touching containers, oven parts, and pan after cooking. Accessible parts may become hot during use, young children should be kept away.
LIQUIDS
E.G. BEVERAGES OR WATER. Overheating the liquid beyond boiling point can occur without evidence of bubbling.
This could result in a sudden boil over of the hot liquid.
To prevent this possibility the following steps should be taken:

- Avoid using straight-sided containers with narrow necks.
- Stir the liquid before placing the container in the oven and let the teaspoon remain in the container.
- After heating, allow standing for a short time, stirring again before carefully removing the container from the oven.
CAREFUL
ALWAYS REFER to a microwave cookbook for details. Especially, if cooking or reheating food that contains alcohol.
AFTER HEATING BABY FOOD or liquids in a baby bottle or in a baby food jar, always stir and check the temperature before serving.
This will ensure that the heat is evenly distributed and the risk of scalding or burns can be avoided.
Ensure the Lid and the Teat is removed before heating!

ACCESSORIES

GENERAL
THERE ARE a number of accessories available on the market. Before you buy, ensure they are suitable for microwave use.
ENSURE THAT THE UTENSILS YOU USE are oven proof and allow microwaves to pass through them before cooking.
WHEN YOU PUT FOOD AND ACCESSORIES in the microwave oven, ensure that they do not come in contact with the interior of the oven.
This is especially important with accessories made of metal or metal parts.
If accessories containing metal come into contact with the oven interior while the oven is in operation, sparking can occur and the oven could be damaged.
Always ensure that the turntable is able to turn freely before starting the oven. If the turntable isn't able to turn freely, you should use a smaller vessel.
TURNTABLE SUPPORT
Use the turntable support under the glass turntable. Never put any other utensils on the turntable support.

Fit the turntable support in the oven.
GLASS TURNTABLE
Use the glass turntable with all cooking methods. It collects the dripping juices and food particles that otherwise would stain and soil the interior of the oven.
Place the glass turntable on the turntable support.
WIRE RACK
Use the wire rack when cooking with grill functions.

CHOOSING MICROWAVE POWER
| POWER SUGGESTED USE: | |
| MAX(700 W) | REHEATING OF BEVERAGES, water, clear soups, coffee, tea or other food with a high water content. If the food contains egg or cream choose a lower power. |
| 600 W C | OOKING OF fish, meat, vegetables etc. |
| 400 W | MORE CAREFUL COOKING e.g. high protein sauces, cheese and egg dishes and to finish cooking casseroles. Simmering stews, melting butter. |
| DEFROST | DEFROSTING. Softening butter, cheeses. |
| KEEP WARM | SOFTENING Ice cream. |
PAUSE OR STOP COOKING
To pause cooking
The cooking can be paused to check, turn, or stir the food by opening the door.

If you don't want to continue cooking
Remove the food, turn the adjust knob to zero and close the door.
To continue cooking
Close the door. The cooking is resumed from where it was paused.
OPERATING THE OVEN

1 SELECT POWER LEVEL AND FUNCTION by turning the multifunction knob.
2 TURN THE ADJUST KNOB clockwise to set the desired cooking time. The oven starts automatically.
COOKING CHART
THE MORE FOOD YOU WANT TO COOK the longer it takes. A rule of thumb is that double amount of food requires almost double the time.
THE LOWER STARTING TEMPERATURE, the longer cooking time is required. Food at room temperature cooks faster than food taken directly from the refrigerator.
IF YOU ARE COOKING SEVERAL ITEMS of the same food, such as jacket potatoes, place them in a ring pattern for uniform cooking.
SOME FOODS ARE COVERED BY A SKIN OR MEMBRANE e.g. potatoes, apples and egg yolks. These food should be pricked with a fork or cocktail stick to relieve the pressure and to prevent bursting.
SMALLER PIECES OF FOOD WILL COOK FASTER than larger pieces and uniform pieces of food cook more evenly than irregularly shaped foods.
STIRRING AND TURNING OF FOOD ARE techniques used in conventional cooking as well as in microwave cooking to distribute the heat quickly to the center of the dish and avoids over-
cooking at the outer edges of the food. WHEN COOKING FOOD OF UNEVEN SHAPE OR thickness, place the thinner area of food towards the center of the dish, where it will be heated last.
Food with a lot of fat and sugar will be cooked faster than food containing a lot of water. Fat and sugar will also reach a higher temperature than water.
Always allow the food to stand for some time after cooking. Standing time always improves the result since the temperature will then be evenly distributed throughout the food.
| TYPE OF FOOD | AMOUNT POWER LEVEL | TIME STANDING TIME | HINTS | ||
| CHICKEN (whole) | 1000 G | 700 W | 18 - 20 MIN. | 5 - 10 MIN. | TURN THE CHICKEN midway thru cooking. Check that the meatjuice is uncolored when the cooking is fi nished. |
| CHICKEN (fi llets or pieces) | 500 G | 8 - 10 MIN. | 5 MIN. | CHECK that the meatjuice is uncolored when the cooking is fi nished. | |
| BACON | 150 G | 3 - 4 MIN. | 1 - 2 MIN. | PLACE ON KITCHEN PAPER, on a plate, in 2 or 3 layers and cover with more kitchen paper. | |
| VEGETABLES (fresh) | 300 G | 3 - 4 MIN. | 1 - 2 MIN. | COOK COVERED and add 2 tbs salt. | |
| VEGETABLES (frozen) | 250 - 400 G | 3 - 4 MIN.5 - 6 MIN. | 1 - 2 MIN. | COOK COVERED | |

| FISH (whole) | 600 G | 8 - 9 MIN. | 4 - 5 MIN. | SCORE THE SKIN and cook covered. | |
| FISH(steaks or fi llets) | 400 G | 5 - 6 MIN. | 2 - 3 MIN. | PLACE WITH THINNER PARTS towards the center of the plate. Cook covered. | |
REHEATING CHART
As in traditional cooking methods, food reheated in a microwave oven must always be heated until piping hot.
The best results are achieved if the food is arranged with the thicker food to the outside of the plate and the thinner food in the centre.
Place thin slices of meat on top of each other or interlace them. Thicker slices such as meat loaf and sausages have to be placed close to each other.
When reheating stews or sauces it is better to stir once to distribute the heat evenly.
Covering the food helps to keep the moisture inside the food, reduces spattering and shortens the reheating time.
When reheating frozen food portions follow the manufacturer's instruction on the package.
Food which cannot be stirred, like gratin is best reheated on 400–600 W.
Some minutes standing time will make sure the temperature is evenly distributed throughout the food.

DEFROSTING CHART
Frozen food in plastic bags, plastic films or cardboard packages can be placed directly in the oven as long as the package has no metal parts (e.g. metal twist ties).
The shape of the package alters the defrosting time. Shallow packets defrost more quickly than a deep block.
Separate pieces as they begin to defrost. Individual slices defrost more easily.
SHIELD AREAS OF FOOD with small pieces of aluminium foil if they start to become warm (e.g. chicken legs and wing tips).
TURN LARGE JOINTS halfway through the defrosting process.
BOILED FOOD, STEWS AND MEAT SAUCES defrost better if stirred during defrosting time.
When defrosting it is better to under-thaw the food slightly and allow the process to finish during standing time.
STANDING TIME AFTER DEFROSTING always improves the result since the temperature will then be evenly distributed throughout the food.
| TYPE OF FOOD | AMOUNT POWER LEVEL | TIME STANDING TIME | HINTS | |
| ROAST | 800 - 1000 G | DEFROST | 20 - 22 MIN. | 10 - 15 MIN. TURN halfway thru defrosting. |

GRILLING CHART
THE GRILL FUNCTION IS EXCELLENT for browning the food after cooking with microwaves.
THE WIRE RACK may be used to move foods closer to the grill element for quicker browning.
PLACE THIN FOODS such as toasts and sausages on the wire rack and cook with grill only.
THICKER FOODS such as gratins and chicken; Cook with microwaves first and then allow the grill to brown the top surface in order to put some colour to it.
You may place vessels or gratins directly on the Glass turntable.

ENSURE that the utensils you use are heat resistant, ovenproof and allow microwaves to pass through them before Grilling with microwaves combined.
Do not use plastic utensils when grilling. They will melt. Items of wood or paper are not suitable either.
