IKEA NUTID MWC 6 - User Manual

Cook & Reheat with Microwaves: This function is for normal cooking and reheating of foods like vegetables, fish, potatoes, and meat. It allows for setting cooking time and power level (JET (900 W), 750 W, 650 W, 500 W, 350 W, 160 W, 90 W, 0 W). The time can be increased in 30-second steps, and both time and power level can be adjusted during cooking.
Jet Start: Used for quick reheating of foods with high water content, such as clear soups, coffee, or tea. It automatically starts with maximum microwave power and a 30-second cooking time, which can be increased in 30-second increments or adjusted with the knob.
Manual Defrost: This function allows for manual defrosting of various foods using a 160 W power level. Users are advised to check and inspect food regularly, turn large joints halfway through the process, and allow standing time for even temperature distribution.
Jet Defrost: Specifically for defrosting food with a net weight between 100 g and 3 kg. It requires selecting a food class (Meat, Poultry, Fish, Vegetables, Bread) and setting the weight. The oven prompts the user to turn the food midway through the process. If the food is warmer than -18°C, a lower weight should be chosen; if colder, a higher weight.
Grill: Designed to quickly give a pleasant brown surface to foods like cheese, toast, steaks, and sausages. Food should be placed on a wire grid on top of the baking plate.
Grill Combi: Combines grilling with microwave cooking to brown food while it cooks. Suitable for vegetables, gratins, poultry, lasagne, fish, and frozen gratins. Power levels range from 90 W to 650 W.
Turbo Grill Combi: Similar to Grill Combi, but specifically for cooking gratins, lasagne, poultry, and baked potatoes. Food should be placed on a wire rack or glass turntable. Power levels range from 0 W (browning only) to 650 W.
Quick Heat: Preheats the empty oven to a set temperature. Food should not be placed in the oven during preheating. The oven maintains the set temperature for 10 minutes, allowing time to insert food and select a Forced Air function for cooking.
Forced Air: Used for cooking meringues, pastry, sponge cakes, soufflés, poultry, and roast meats. It allows setting temperature and cooking time. The default setting is 175°C.
Forced Air Combi: Combines forced air cooking with microwaves. Suitable for roast meats, poultry, jacket potatoes, frozen convenience foods, sponge cakes, pastry, fish, and puddings. It allows setting temperature, microwave power level, and cooking time.
Auto Reheat: Reheats ready-made food, either frozen or chilled. Food should be placed on a microwave-safe, heat-proof dinner plate or dish. Food categories include Dinner Plate, Soup, Frozen Portion, Milk, and Casserole. The oven may prompt to stir food midway.
Auto Cook: For cooking specific food categories only, including Baked Potatoes, Fresh Vegetables, Frozen Vegetables, Canned Vegetables, and Popcorn. The oven may prompt to stir or turn food midway.

- Standing time (1-2 minutes) always improves results, especially for frozen food.

Maintenance Features

Cleaning:
- Regular cleaning is required to prevent deterioration of surfaces.

Grill Element Cleaning: The grill element does not require cleaning as intense heat burns off splashes. However, the ceiling above it may need regular cleaning with warm water, detergent, and a sponge. Run the grill for 10 minutes monthly to burn off splashes and reduce fire risk. The grill element can be lowered for cleaning by gently pushing the fastening thread towards the back of the ceiling.
