Functions
INTRODUCTION TO MICROWAVE
COOKING
• Microwaves are invisible waves of
electromagnetic energy similar to radio
waves. Instead of being converted to
sound as in a radio or mobile phones, it is
converted into a heat source which heats
food from the inside.
• Microwaves cook because food molecules
of water, fat and sugar react to the energy
provided by the microwaves. That energy is
absorbed by the food causing the molecules
to vibrate quickly. This movement creates
friction which causes the food to heat up
and therefore cook.
• The energy in a microwave is distributed
evenly throughout the cavity.
• Microwave cooking is considered the 'cool'
cooking method as only the food gets hot
and surrounding air stays cool.
• Microwaves are safe and can be economical.
• Microwave ovens don't need preheating
therefore the kitchen stays cooler. Cooking
is cleaner with less odours and washing up
is reduced.
• Microwave ovens cook foods rapidly. Some
foods are better cooked in a microwave
oven as they retain more flavour, moisture,
texture and goodness, such plain fish fillets,
soft fruit, vegetables and fat free cakes.
• In a microwave the heat is produced
INSIDE the food. In all other conventional
cooking methods, heat is applied from
OUTSIDE through transference of heat by
convection or radiation.
• Microwave energy penetrates the food to
a depth of approximately 25mm. Small
foods under 5cm in diameter such as eggs
are penetrated to the centre, from all sides.
In larger foods, energy creates heat in the
outer layer; this then moves to the centre
by conduction, as it does with conventional
cooking.
BEFORE FIRST USE
• Before first use, remove all promotional
stickers and packaging material before
using the microwave oven for the first time.
• To eliminate a choking hazard for young
children, remove and safely discard the
protective cover fitted to the power plug of
this microwave oven.
• Carefully unpack the microwave oven and
keep all packing material until all the parts
of the microwave oven have been found and
the appliance has been assembled.
• To remove any dust that may have
accumulated during packing, wipe the
interior and exterior of the microwave oven
with a soft, damp cloth and dry thoroughly.
WARNING
Do not immerse any part of your microwave
oven in water or any other liquid
TIPS ON SETTING UP YOUR
MICROWAVE
• Select a level surface that provides enough
open space for the air intake and/or outlet
vents.
• A minimum clearance of 20cm on each
side and 30cm above the microwave is
required between the microwave oven and
any adjacent walls.

is 95 minutes.
1. Press the TIME DEFROST button once.
2. Turn the TIME ADJUST/AUTO COOK
dial to set the defrosting time.
3. Push the START/+30 SEC dial to start.
4. The microwave will pause, and a beep
will sound indicating the need to turn the
food over. Once the food has been turned,
push the START/+30 SEC dial to resume
defrosting.
5. Press the STOP/CANCEL button once to
pause or twice to cancel.
TIPS ON DEFROSTING
• The energy required for defrosting is much
lower than for cooking as the microwave
causes the ice formed in the food to melt,
rather than heat.
• Before defrosting meat in the microwave
oven, remove the freezer bag or wrapping
to prevent meat sitting in ‘drip’, which will
otherwise boil as the meat defrosts causing
meat to go grey and begin to stew.
• To remove frozen meat from freezer
wrappings, defrost for a few minutes so the
wrap is easy to remove.
• Remove meat from Styrofoam trays as they
are not microwave-safe.
• Place meat onto a microwave safe rack and
a drip tray to catch juices.
• Check the meat throughout the defrosting
time. As outer portions of meat thaw,
remove them. If the edges of meat feel
warm, stop microwaving and allow meat to
stand for a few minutes or until edges are
cold again.
• After defrosting the meat, it must be cooked
right away. Don’t leave it to stand for any
length of time at room temperature or in the
fridge.
SAFETY CHILD LOCK
• The Safety Child Lock can be activated
to prevent unsupervised operation of the
microwave oven by children.
• When activated, the microwave oven cannot
be operated and the SAFETY CHILD
LOCK icon will illuminate on the display.
1. To set the SAFETY CHILD LOCK, press
and hold the STOP/CANCEL button for
3 seconds until a beep sounds and the
SAFETY CHILD LOCK icon will illuminate
on the display.
2. To cancel the SAFETY CHILD LOCK, press
and hold the STOP/CANCEL button for
3 seconds until the SAFETY CHILD LOCK
icon is no longer displayed on the screen.

Tips
SOME IMPORTANT TIPS FOR
MICROWAVING COOKING
• To help equalize energy in the food so that
it cooks evenly follow these helpful tips.
• Arrange foods with varying size ends, such
as chicken drumsticks and broccoli with
the thicker or tougher part positioned to the
outside of the dish. This ensures the parts
that require more cooking will receive more
energy, so the food will cook evenly.
• Covering the dish during cooking holds in
the heat and steam to speed up the cooking
time. Use a microwave-safe lid that has been
vented, to allow the release excess steam.
• Choose cooking dishes that are shallow
dishes enable the food to cook faster.
• Use round shaped microwave dishes. Round
shapes cook more evenly than square or
rectangular dishes which absorb most of
the energy in the corners causing food to
overcook and toughen.
• Stir foods from the outside to centre of
the dish once or twice during cooking to
equalize heat and speed microwaving.
• Turn medium to large food items over once
during microwaving. This enables even
exposure to micro waves.
• Elevating some types of food such as cakes,
roast vegetables and dough products can
be advantageous. It allows more energy to
penetrate the food from all sides, base and
top. Use a microwave-safe plastic or ceramic
rack. Do not elevate any special browning
dishes, jugs of sauce or custard, small
quantities of food or mugs of beverages.
Internal temperatures of foods continue
to rise so that they continue cooking even
after they have been removed from the
microwave oven.
• It is better to underheat food slightly as it
will continue to cook once removed from
the microwave.
• MICROWAVE UTENSILS, containers,
plates, dishes, etc. used in the microwave
oven should always be microwave-safe.
Check if they are microwave-safe on the
underside of the utensil or contact the
manufacturer.
• Metal containers and utensils should not be
used in the microwave oven.

Care, Cleaning & Storage
• Remove odours from your microwave oven
by combining a cup of water with the juice
of one lemon in a deep microwave-safe
bowl, microwave on highest power level for
5 minutes. Wipe the microwave oven cavity
thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth.
• When it becomes necessary to replace the
oven light, please consult your Breville
service centre to have it replaced.
• If storing the microwave oven, press the
STOP/CANCEL button, switch off at the
power outlet then unplug the power cord.
Ensure the microwave oven is completely
cool, clean and dry. Do not place heavy
objects on top. Store the microwave oven
upright.
• Please do not dispose of this appliance with
domestic rubbish; it should be taken to the
appropriate disposal centre provided by
your local council municipalities.
BEFORE YOU CALL FOR SERVICE
• Check to ensure that the microwave oven is
plugged in securely. If it is not, remove the
plug from the power outlet, wait 10 seconds
and plug it in again securely.
• Check for a blown circuit fuse or a tripped
main circuit breaker. If these seem to be
operating properly, test the power outlet
with another appliance.
• Check to ensure that the control panel is
programmed correctly and the timer is set.
• Check to ensure that the door is securely
closed engaging the door safety lock
system. Otherwise, the microwave energy
will not flow into the microwave oven.
NOTE
If none of the above rectify the situation, then
contact your Breville service centre. Do NOT
try to adjust or repair the microwave oven
yourself.
• Switch off the microwave oven at the power
outlet and remove the plug from the power
outlet before cleaning.
• Keep the inside of the microwave oven
clean.
• When food splatters or spilled liquids
adhere to the microwave oven internal walls,
wipe with a damp cloth. Mild detergent may
be used if the cavity gets very dirty. Avoid
the use of spray and other harsh cleaners
as they may stain, streak or dull the door
surface.
• The outside surfaces should be cleaned with
a damp cloth. To prevent damage to the
operating parts inside the microwave oven
cavity, water should not be allowed to seep
into the ventilation openings.
• Wipe the door and window on both sides of
the door seals and adjacent parts frequently
with a damp cloth to remove any spills or
spatters. Do not use an abrasive cleaner.
• Do not allow the control panel to become
wet. Clean with a soft, damp cloth. When
cleaning the control panel, leave the
microwave oven door open to prevent it
from accidentally turning on.
• If steam accumulates inside or around the
outside of the oven door, wipe with a soft
dry cloth. This may occur when cooking
foods high in moisture or if the microwave
oven is operated under high humidity
conditions, this is normal.
