Overview

This document describes the Daewoo KOC-875T Microwave Oven with Grill and Convection functions, providing comprehensive instructions for safe operation, cooking, and maintenance.

Function Description

The Daewoo KOC-875T is a versatile kitchen appliance designed for various cooking methods, including microwave, grill, and convection. It allows users to heat, cook, defrost, and bake a wide range of foods with precision and convenience. The oven features a display that provides real-time information and guidance, indicating which buttons can be pressed next or what settings are required.

The core functions include:

  • Microwave Cooking: Utilizes high-frequency electromagnetic waves to generate heat by vibrating water, fat, and sugar molecules in food. This method is ideal for quick heating and cooking, penetrating food to a certain depth and then conducting heat throughout.
  • Grill Cooking: Employs top heaters to brown and crisp food, similar to traditional grilling. This function is suitable for achieving a crispy texture on dishes.
  • Convection Cooking: Involves circulating hot air within the oven chamber, providing even heat distribution for baking and roasting. Temperatures can be selected between 100°C and 210°C in 10°C steps.
  • Combination Cooking: Combines microwave and grill or microwave and convection functions to achieve faster cooking times with enhanced browning and crisping. This allows for uniform cooking and crisp results without preheating the oven.
  • Defrosting: Offers two modes: defrosting by time and defrosting by weight. This feature safely thaws frozen foods, preparing them for cooking.
  • Programmed Cooking: Includes five pre-set menu programs for common dishes like roast beef, roast pork, roast chicken, fish fillet, and vegetables, simplifying the cooking process.
  • Speedy Cook: Provides a quick way to add microwave cooking time in 30-second increments, up to 5 minutes, useful for extending cooking or quick reheating.

Usage Features

The oven is designed for user-friendly operation with a clear display and intuitive controls:

  • Controls: The front panel includes buttons for M/W (Microwave), Grill, Combi (Combination), Defrost (Weight/Time), Pie (Pastries and Pies), Temp (Temperature for Convection), Program Cook, Speedy Cook, Stop/Clear, and Start/Clock. A dial is used for setting time, temperature, and weight.
  • Display: The display shows the current time when not in use and provides feedback during operation, indicating the selected function, power level, temperature, and remaining time. Flashing icons guide the user through the next steps.
  • Setting the Clock: The clock can be set to either 12-hour or 24-hour format. After connecting to the mains, the display will prompt for time setting.
  • Child Lock: A safety feature that prevents unintended operation, particularly by children. It can be activated by holding the Stop/Clear button for 3 seconds, displaying "Loc" when engaged.
  • Display Save Mode: An energy-saving function that turns off the display after 5 seconds of holding the Stop/Clear button.
  • Power Levels: Microwave power can be adjusted across 10 levels, from P-10 (10%) to P-HI (100%), allowing for precise control over cooking intensity.
  • Cooking Time Settings: Cooking times can be set up to 60 minutes, with increments varying based on the total time (10-second steps for up to 5 minutes, 30-second steps for up to 15 minutes, 1-minute steps for up to 30 minutes, and 2-minute steps for up to 60 minutes).
  • Preheating (Convection): For convection cooking, the oven can be preheated to a desired temperature. The display shows "PrE" and flashes the preset temperature until it's reached, at which point the oven beeps, and the user can place food inside and set the cooking time.
  • Metal Rack: A metal rack is provided for grill cooking, to be placed on the rotating plate. Users are warned about high temperatures and advised to use thick oven gloves.
  • Safety Door Lock: The oven will only operate when the door is fully closed. Opening the door during operation pauses the cooking process, which can be resumed by closing the door and pressing Start, or cancelled by pressing Stop.
  • Wait Time: After microwave cooking, food continues to cook for a short period. It is recommended to let food stand in the oven for a few minutes to allow temperatures to equalize and prevent overcooking.
  • Food Preparation Tips: The manual provides advice on arranging food for even cooking, puncturing skins of certain foods to prevent bursting, and covering food to retain moisture and prevent splashing.

Maintenance Features

Proper care and maintenance ensure the longevity and safe operation of the oven:

  • Cleaning: The oven, especially the seal areas of the door, should be cleaned with a mild cleaning agent. Abrasive agents or pads should not be used.
  • Seal Integrity: It is crucial to keep the seals and seal surfaces clean and free of food remains or cleaner residue to prevent microwave leakage.
  • Door Care: The oven door should not be mistreated, and any damage to the door, hinges, or locks should be addressed by a qualified technician. The door must close properly without distortions.
  • Utensil Suitability: Users are advised to check that all dishes and utensils are suitable for microwave use, and for combination cooking, they must also be fireproof. Metal containers, gold or silver decorated crockery, and closed containers are unsuitable for microwave use.
  • Cooling Fan: After grilling, convection, or combination cooking, the cooling fan may continue to run for up to 5 minutes to cool down the oven, indicated by "cool" on the display.
  • Technical Service: In case of error messages (E-2 for abnormal internal heat, E-3 for disconnected temperature sensor) or other malfunctions, users are instructed to contact technical service. Before calling, a checklist is provided to troubleshoot common issues like power supply, door closure, and presence of metal in the oven.
  • Power Supply: The oven requires a 230V~/50Hz electrical connection with a 13 Amp fuse. The voltage used must match the oven's specifications to prevent damage or accidents. A damaged power cable must be replaced by a qualified technician.
