MICROWAVE POWER LEVELS
There are 5 microwave power levels available as listed below.
The microwave power level is varied by the microwave energy switching on and o . When using power levels other
than HIGH (100%) you will be able to hear the microwave energy pulsing on and o as the food cooks or defrosts.
Generally the following recommendations apply:
800 WATT = HIGH - used for fast cooking or reheating e.g. for casseroles, hot beverages, vegetables etc.
620 WATT = MEDIUM HIGH - used for longer cooking of dense foods such as roast joints, meat loaf and plated meals,
also for sensitive dishes such as sponge cakes. At this reduced setting, the food will cook evenly without over cooking
at the sides.
440 WATT = MEDIUM - for dense foods which require a long cooking time when cooked conventionally, e.g. beef
casserole, it is advisable to use this power setting to ensure the meat will be tender.
260 WATT = MEDIUM LOW - to defrost, select this power setting, to ensure that the dish defrosts evenly. This setting is
also ideal for simmering rice, pasta, dumplings and cooking egg custard.
130 WATT = LOW - for gentle defrosting, e.g. cream gateaux or pastry.
MICROWAVE COOKING
1. Prepare and place food in a suitable container (refer to “SUITABLE OVENWARE” ), position food/container directly
onto the middle of the turntable. Close the door.
2. Turn the MICROWAVE POWER CONTROL knob to the desired setting; any one of the ve microwave power levels.
3. Turn the TIMER/DEFROST GUIDE knob to the desired cooking/defrosting time and the oven will start
automatically.
4. When cooking/defrosting is complete, the TIMER/ DEFROST GUIDE returns to “0” zero and the signal will sound.
The oven lamp will turn o automatically and the turntable stops rotating. Open the oven door, remove the food/
container carefully. Leave food to stand as required.
COOKING HINTS:
When the oven starts, the oven lamp will light and the turntable will rotate clockwise or anticlockwise.
If you wish to stop cooking before the cooking time has elapsed, turn the TIMER/DEFROST GUIDE knob back to “0”
(o ), or open the oven door. The oven door may be opened at any time during cooking. To continue cooking, close
the door. If you wish to change the cooking time during cooking, simply turn the TIMER/DEFROST GUIDE knob to
the desired new setting.
When cooking/defrosting for less than 3 minutes, turn the TIMER/DEFROST GUIDE knob past the 10 minute mark,
and then back to the desired setting. The timer will then run more accurately.
To change the power level during cooking, turn the MICROWAVE POWER CONTROL knob to the desired setting.
WARNING:
Ensure the TIMER/DEFROST GUIDE is returned to “0” zero position at the end of cooking, or the oven will start

GRILL COOKING/MIX GRILL COOKING
1. GRILL ONLY COOKING
The grill at the top of the oven cavity has one power setting only. The grill is assisted by the turntable which rotates
simultaneously to ensure even browning. Use the rack for grilling small items of food such as bacon, gammon and
teacakes. Food can be placed either directly onto the rack, or into a an dish/heat-resistant plate on the rack.
2. MIX GRILL COOKING
MIX GRILL combines microwave power with the grill. MIX means to cook by Microwave power and Grill power
alternately.
The combination of microwave power with the grill reduces cooking time and provides a crisp, brown nish.
There are 3 choices for the combination:
Function/Power Output Application
Combi.1 80% grill 20% micro. Sausage, Lamb, Kebabs, Seafood, Steak
Combi.2 70% grill 30% micro. Chicken pieces, Chicken breasts, Pork chops
Combi.3 60% grill 40% micro. Whole chicken
Grill 100% grill Baked bread, Sliced food
NOTES for GRILL and MIX GRILL COOKING:
• It is not necessary to preheat the grill.
• When browning foods in a deep container, place on the turntable.
• You may detect smoke or a burning smell when using the grill for the rst time. This is normal and not a sign that the
oven is faulty. To avoid this problem, when rst using the oven, heat the oven without food for 20 minutes on grill.
IMPORTANT: During operation, to allow smoke or smells to disperse open a window or switch the kitchen ventilation
on.
NOTE: When using the grill function, the grill will turn on and o at regular intervals to prevent overheating.
WARNING: The door, outer cabinet, oven cavity and accessories will become very hot during operation.
To prevent burns, always use thick oven gloves.
