USE AND TIPS
HOW TO READ THE COOKING TABLE
The table indicates the best functions to use for any given food. Cooking times, where indicated, start from the moment when food is placed in the microwave oven cavity, excluding preheating (where required).
Cooking settings and times are purely for guidance and will depend on the amount of food and type of accessory used. Always cook food for the minimum cooking time given and check that is it cooked through.
To obtain the best resuits, carefully follow the advice given in the cooking table regarding the choice of accessories (if supplied) to be used (if present).
CLING FILM AND BAGS
Remove wire twist-ties from paper or plastic bags before placing the bag in the microwave oven cavity.
Cling film should be scored or pricked with a fork to relieve the pressure and to prevent bursting because steam builds up during cooking.
COOKING FOOD
Since microwaves penetrate the food to a limited depth, if there are a number of pieces to cook at once, arrange the pieces in a circle to create more outside pieces.
Small pieces cook more quickly than large pieces. Cut food into pieces of equal size for uniform cooking.
Moisture evaporates during microwave cooking. A microwave-proof cover on the container helps reduce moisture loss.
Most foods will continue to cook after microwave has finished cooking it. Therefore, always allow for standing time to complete the cooking.
Stirring is usually necessary during microwave cooking. When stirring, bring the cooked portions on the outside edges towards the centre and the less-cooked centre portions towards the outside.
Place thin slices of meat on top of each other or interlace them. Thicker slices such as meat loaf and sausages have to be placed close to each other.
LIQUIDS
Liquids may overheat beyond boiling point without visibly bubbling. This could cause hot liquids to suddenly boil over.
To prevent this possibility:
- Avoid using straight-sided containers with narrow necks.
- Stir the liquid before placing the container in the microwave oven cavity and leave the teaspoon in the container.
- After heating, stir again before carefully removing the container from the microwave oven.
BABY FOOD
After heating baby food or liquids in a baby bottle or in a baby food jar, always stir and check the temperature before serving.
This will ensure that the heat is evenly distributed and avoid the risk of scalding or burns.
Ensure that the lid and the teat are removed before heating.
FROZEN FOOD
For best resuits, we recommend defrosting directly on the glass turntable. If needed, it is possible to use a light-plastic container that is suitable for microwave.
Boiled food, stews and meat sauces defrost better if stirred during the defrosting time. separate pieces as they begin to defrost.
Individual slices defrost more easily.
ACCESSORIES
GENERAL
There are a number of accessories available on the market. Before you buy, ensure they are suitable for microwave use.
Ensure that the utensils you use are oven proof and allow microwaves to pass through them before cooking.
When you put food and accessories in the microwave oven, ensure that they do not come in contact with the interior of the oven.
This is especially important with accessories made of metal or metal parts.
If accessories containing metal comes in contact with the oven interior, while the oven is in operation, sparking can occur and the oven could be damaged.

MANUAL DEFROST
Follow the procedure for “cook & reheat with microwaves” and choose power level 160 W when defrosting manually.
Check and inspect the food regularly. Experience will give you the times needed for various amounts.
Frozen food in plastic bags, plastic films or cardboard packages can be placed directly in the oven as long as the package has no metal parts (e.g. metal twist ties).
The shape of the package alters the defrosting time. Shallow packets defrost more quickly than a deep block.
Separate pieces as they begin to defrost. Individual slices defrost more easily.
Shieid areas of food with small pieces of aluminum foil if they start to become warm (e.g. chicken legs and wing tips).
Turn large joints halfway through the defrosting process.
Boiled food, stews and meat sauces defrost better if stirred during defrosting time.
When defrosting it is better to underthaw the food slightly and allow the process to finish during standing time.
Standing time after defrosting always improves the result since the temperature will then be evenly distributed throughout the food.
JET DEFROST
Use this function only if the net weight is between 100 g- 2 Kg. Always place the food on the glass turntable.
- Press the jet defrost button.
- Press the + / - buttons to set the weight of the food.

NOTE: The oven continues automatically after 2 min. if the food hasn’t been turned. The defrosting time will be longer in this case.
WEIGHT:
This function needs to know the net weight of the food. The oven will then automatically calculate the needed time to finish the procedure.
If the weight is lesser or greater than recommended weight: Follow the procedure for “Cook & Reheat with microwaves” and choose 160 W when defrosting.
FROZEN FOODS:
If the food is warmer than deep-freeze temperature (-18°C), choose lower weight of the food.
If the food is colder than deep-freeze temperature (-18°C), choose higher weight of the food.
MAINTENANCE & CLEANING
Cleaning is the only maintenance normally required.
Failure to maintain the oven in a clean condition could lead to deterioration of the surface that could adversely affect the life of the appliance and possibly result in a hazardous situation.
NOTE: Do not use metal scouring pads, abrasive cleansers , steelwool pads, gritty washcloths, etc. which can damage the control panel, and the interior and exterior oven surfaces. Use a sponge with a mild detergent or a paper towel with spray glass cleaner. Apply spray glass cleaner to a paper towel. Do not spray directly on the oven.
