This document outlines the features, usage, and maintenance of the Daewoo 26L 2400W 5-in-1 Air Fryer & Microwave Oven, Model No. SDA2618. This versatile appliance is designed to motivate through action, offering multiple cooking functionalities to simplify meal preparation.
The Daewoo 5-in-1 Air Fryer & Microwave Oven combines five essential kitchen functions into one compact unit: Microwave, Air Fry, Combination (Microwave + Air Fry), Bake, and Popcorn. It also includes dedicated functions for Defrost and Keep Warm, along with a Multi-Stage Cooking option for complex recipes.
The appliance features a digital control panel with an LED display that shows current settings, cooking time remaining, and various indicators for different modes (Microwave, Air Fry, Defrost, Lock, Preset). The main control knob, labeled "CONFIRM/START/+30SEC," is central to setting temperatures, times, and confirming selections. Dedicated buttons for Power, Air Fry, Combi, Bake, Air Fry Presets, Popcorn, Defrost, Clock/Timer, Keep Warm, Lock On/Off, and Stop/Clear ECO provide intuitive control over each function.
Microwave Cooking: This mode allows for traditional microwave heating with adjustable power levels from 1% to 100% (P10 to P100) and cooking times up to 95 minutes. It's ideal for reheating, cooking, and defrosting. The Express Cooking feature offers quick microwave cooking at 100% power, with time adjustable in 30-second increments.
Air Fry Cooking: The Air Fry function enables cooking similar to a traditional oven, with temperature settings ranging from 140°C to 230°C and a maximum cooking time of 95 minutes. It is recommended to preheat the oven before placing food for optimal results. The appliance provides a preheating option, signaling when the desired temperature is reached.
Combination Cooking (Microwave + Air Fry): This mode allows users to combine microwave and air fry cooking for faster cooking and browning. It's suitable for dishes that benefit from both rapid heating and a crispy finish.
Bake Function: Similar to Air Fry, the Bake function allows for oven-style cooking with adjustable temperatures between 140°C and 230°C.
Popcorn Function: A dedicated preset for popping popcorn, offering weight-based options (50g, 100g) for convenient preparation.
Defrost Function: This appliance offers two defrosting methods: Defrost by Weight (for 100g to 2000g) and Defrost by Time. During defrosting, the microwave will beep to remind the user to turn the food for even thawing.
Keep Warm Function: This feature maintains food at a warm temperature (140°C) for a set duration, ensuring meals stay ready to serve.
Multi-Stage Cooking: For more elaborate recipes, the oven can be programmed to cook in two consecutive stages, combining different functions like microwave power and air fry temperature.
Auto Menu: The appliance includes nine pre-set cooking programs (A01-A09) for common foods like Reheat, Potato, Meat, Vegetable, Pasta, Fish, Soup, Pizza, and Chicken. These programs automatically set cooking times and power levels based on the selected food and weight/portion.
Air Fry Presets: Fourteen dedicated Air Fry presets (AF01-AF14) are available for popular air-fried items such as French Fries, Fish and Chips, Croquettes, Calamary, Onion Rings, Nuggets, Escalope, Prawns, Vegetable, Spring Rolls, Breaded Prawns, Potato Wedges, Chicken Wings, and Grilled Fresh Fish Fillets. These presets simplify air frying by pre-setting optimal cooking times and temperatures based on food type and weight.
Control Panel and Display: The intuitive control panel features a central control knob for precise adjustments and confirmation. The LED display provides clear feedback on the appliance's status and settings.
Clock/Timer: Users can set a 24-hour clock and utilize a kitchen timer for up to 95 minutes, independent of cooking functions.
Lock Function: For safety, the control panel can be locked by pressing and holding the Lock On/Off button for 3 seconds, preventing accidental operation. The Lock Indicator illuminates when active.
Silent Mode: The buzzer sound can be muted or reactivated by a single press of the Lock On/Off button, offering a quieter operation option.
ECO Function: To save energy, the display screen can be turned off in standby mode by pressing the Stop/Clear ECO button. The screen reactivates with any button press or door opening.
Accessories: The appliance comes with a Glass Turntable, Turntable Support Ring, Baking Tray, and Grill Basket. The Turntable ensures even cooking in microwave mode, while the Baking Tray and Grill Basket are essential for Air Fry and Bake functions.
Safety Interlocks: The microwave oven will only operate when the door is fully closed, thanks to a safety interlock mechanism.
Cooling Feature: After cooking, the oven fan continues to operate for a short period, displaying "COOL," to prolong the appliance's lifespan by cooling internal components.
Utensil Guidelines: Specific guidelines are provided for suitable utensils in each cooking mode (Microwave/Defrost/Popcorn, Air Fry/Bake/Keep Warm, and Combination), emphasizing the importance of using appropriate materials to prevent damage and ensure safety. Metallic containers and plastic containers are explicitly prohibited in certain modes.
Cleaning: Regular cleaning is crucial for maintaining the appliance's performance and hygiene. The manual provides detailed instructions for cleaning the exterior, interior cavity, door, door seals, waveguide cover, glass turntable, and turntable ring support. It emphasizes disconnecting the appliance from the mains before cleaning and avoiding immersion in liquids.
Odor Removal: For lingering food odors, three methods are suggested: using distilled vinegar, lemon, or bicarbonate of soda with water, heated in the microwave to generate steam, followed by wiping.
Waveguide Cover: A critical safety instruction is never to remove the waveguide cover, and to ensure it is kept clean and free from food residue.
Servicing: The manual stresses that servicing and repairs should only be carried out by qualified personnel due to the presence of high voltage components even when the appliance is unplugged. Users are warned against removing covers or guards themselves.
Troubleshooting Guide: A comprehensive troubleshooting section helps users identify and resolve common issues such as the oven not starting, arcing or sparking, unevenly cooked food, and noise from the turntable, offering possible causes and solutions.
