• Each setting is 2 minutes
• A bell ring will be heard when the timer times out and returns to Zero position

2) Function / Power knob

There are 6 power levels:

Max 100% power output (Quick cooking)

High 85% power output (Normal cooking)

Medium 66% power output (Slow cooking)

Low 40% power output (Drinks or soup)

Defrost 37% power output (Defrost)

Mini 17% power output (Keep warm)

The following table provides a reference defrost time length for various food:

WEIGHT RANGE DEFROST LENGTH
Meat	0.1~1.0kg	1:30~26:00
Poultry	0.2~1.0kg	2:30~22:00
Seafood	0.1~0.9kg	1:30~14:00

3) Defrosted food should be consumed as soon as possible, it is not advised to put back to fridge and freeze again

COOKING TIPS

The following factors may affect the cooking result:

Food arrangement

Place thicker areas towards outside of dish, the thinner part towards the centre and spread it evenly. Do not overlap if possible.

Cooking time length

Start cooking with a short time setting, evaluate it after it times out and extend it according to the actual need. Over cooking may result in smoke and burns.

Cooking food evenly

Food such as chicken, hamburger or steak should be turned once during cooking.

Depending on the type of food, if applicable, stir it from outside to centre of dish once or twice during cooking

Allow standing time

After cooking times out, leave the food in the oven for a adequate length of time, this allows it to complete its cooking cycle and cooling it down in a gradual manner

Whether the food is done

Color and hardness of food help to determine if it is done, these include:

• Steam coming out from all parts of food, not just the edge
• Joints of poultry can be moved easily
• Pork or poultry shows no signs of blood
• Fish is opaque and can be sliced easily with a fork

Browning dish

When using a browning dish or self-heating container, always place a heat-resistant insulator such as a porcelain plate under it to prevent damage to the turntable and rotating ring.

Microwave safe plastic wrap

When cooking food with high fat content, do not allow the plastic wrap come into contact with food as it may melt

Microwave safe plastic cookware

Some microwave safe plastic cookware might not be suitable for cooking foods with high fat and sugar content. Also, the preheating time specified in the dish instruction manual must not be exceeded
