The results of auto-cooking depend on many factors, the actual

the program has ended the food is underdone, use Basic or
Express Cooking for a short time to complete the cooking.
By pressing the START/QUICK START button repeatedly you can
program the ovenfor Express cooking.at FULL power(100%)
Each press of the START/QUICKSTART button increases the
cooking time in intervals.You can program up to 10
minutes.
The oven will start almost as soon you press the
START/QUICKSTART button so be prepared!!
During the Quick Start cooking cycle, you cannot top up the
remaining time.
Express cooking is a very good way of rapidly heating small
portions of food, or easily adding a small amount of cooking
time to finishdishes that are slightly undercooked.
All programs can be set up with the oven door open or closed
except Quick Start where the doormust be closed.
If you are setting up a program when the door is open,pressing the
STOP/CANCEL button willerase theprogram.
The grill is particularly useful for cooking thin slices of meat,steaks,
chops, kebabs, sausages or pieces of chicken. It is also suitable for
hot sandwiches and au gratin dishes. The maximum time you can
set is 95minutes.

food adhering to it and make washing up easier.

turntable helps thefood to cook all over.
Combination microwave and grill cooking enables a wide range of
foods to be both cooked and browned in one operation.This offers
you the speed of a microwave oven with the finish and taste of a
conventional grill.To realise the potential of this form of cooking,
we advise youto purchase a recipe book dedicated to this art.
There are two Combi-grill programs.They both work in exactly the
same way but have different settings.Both microwave the food first
and then grillit to give a browned,tasty finish.

in an oven where the grill has recently been on.When you
set utensils down on a surface make sure it is heatproof or
use an insulating mat
After use allow an extra long period for the oven to cool
down before cleaning or re-use.
