This microwave oven offers a range of features, from basic heating to more advanced cooking programs, making it suitable for various household needs. Its user-friendly interface and safety mechanisms ensure a reliable and secure cooking experience.
The primary function of this microwave oven is to heat and cook food using microwave energy. It operates at 800W, providing sufficient power for quick and thorough cooking. The 20-liter capacity is ideal for standard household use, accommodating a variety of dishes and containers.

The maximum cooking time that can be set is 60 minutes, offering flexibility for various recipes.
The Defrosting function is a key highlight, allowing users to defrost different types of food based on weight. It offers three preset categories:
The Auto Cooking menu simplifies meal preparation with a selection of preset programs for common food items. These programs are designed to automatically adjust cooking times and power levels based on the food type and weight, eliminating the need for manual settings. Examples include popcorn, potato, vegetables, meat, fish, chicken, reheat, drinks or soup, cooked rice, cooked pasta, bread, and pizza.
An Instant Start feature allows for immediate cooking without setting a specific program. A single press starts cooking for 1 minute, and subsequent presses increase the time in 10-second increments.
The microwave also includes an Auto Start with timer delay function, enabling users to preset a cooking time for a later point in the day. This is particularly useful for meal planning, as it allows food to start cooking automatically at a desired time.
