The type of food being microwaved determines which power level is best:
High Power (100 percent) Ground meats, poultry, fish, shellfish, bacon, pie crust, fruits,
vegetables, water-based soups or casseroles, pasta and reheating breads.
Medium-High (70 percent) Quiche and foods containing cheese, casseroles, rib roast,
duck, brownies, cheesecake, cream-based soups and reheating leftovers.
Medium (50 percent) Ham, pork, eye-of-the-round roast, eggs and custards. Also used
for softening cream cheese and melting chocolate.
Medium-Low (30 percent) Less tender beef pot roasts and lamb. Also used for
simmering chili, stew, spaghetti sauce, rice, cereal and defrosting.
Low (10 percent) Used for keeping foods warm, proofing yeast dough and defrosting
large roasts or turkeys.
HELPFUL TIPS:
• The max cooking or defrost time which can be set is 99’99’’
• At the maximum microwave power, the microwave will automatically lower the
power after certain time of cooking to protect it from overheating and lengthen its
lifespan.
• Never operate the microwave when empty.
• If you would like to interrupt the cooking or defrost cycle to check on food or turn
food over; simply open the microwave door. To resume, press the Start/Stop button.
• If you intend to remove the food before the timer has finished counting down, you
must press the Reset button once to clear the remaining count down time.
B. MULTI-STAGE COOKING
To obtain best cooking result, some recipes call for different cooking modes/power
and times. The Bennett Read Microwave is capable of programming 2 cooking stages
at once. You may enter your personalized settings as follows:
“
8. SPEED DEFROST
The Speed Defrost function is time based and allows you to quickly set the amount of
time required for defrosting. The Defrost function is weight based and allows you to set
the weight of the food which you would like to defrost. The weight which you input will
automatically determine the amount of time required to defrost.
BEFORE FIRST USE
Before using this unit, please read these instructions completely. Save this manual and
pass it on to next user. Remove all packaging materials, labels and/or stickers from
your appliance and dispose correctly. Check the package to verify that all contents are
included and undamaged. Do not operate the appliance if the contents are incomplete
or appear damaged.
Ensure to place the microwave in a dry, non-corrosive environment. Keeping it away
from heat and humidity, such as a gas burner or water tank. Ensure that the
microwave has sufficient ventilation:
*the distance of the back of the microwave to the wall should be at least 10cm.
*the side to the wall should be at least 5cm
*the distance above the top surface should be at least 20cm
*the distance of the microwave to the ground should be at least 85cm.
Position the microwave so that the plug is accessible and so that it is situated far away
from a TV, radio or antenna as picture disturbance or noise may occur. Ideally the
distance should be more than 5m.
Complete assembly by placing the rotating ring into the microwave cavity and in the
correct position. Fit the turntable on to the rotating axis and make sure that it is fitted
properly.
This appliance may produce an odour and emit smoke when switched on for the first
time, as residues from the production process are eliminated. This is normal and does
not indicate a defect or hazard. Before first use, we recommend placing a cup of
water into the cavity of the microwave and running the appliance on the high power
setting for 1-2 minutes, approximately 2-3 times. This will assist to eliminate any
possible residues from the production process.

complete the clock setup and display the time normally. If no clock setup is done within
30 seconds of switching on the microwave, it will enter “standby” mode and the clock
will not run.
2. NUMBER BUTTONS (0-9)

HELPFUL TIPS:
a. It is necessary o turn food over during defrosting to ensure even defrosting takes
place throughout the food.
b. Usually defrosting will need longer time than that of cooking the food.
c. If the food can be cut by knife, the defrosting process can be considered completed.
d. Defrosted food should be consumed as soon as possible, it is not advised to put
back into the fridge and freeze again.
e. Weight must be in kilograms (kg). You can set the food weight from 0.1kg- 3.0kg.

contain hot steam which may scald
11. ONE-TOUCH PRESET BUTTONS
HELPFUL TIPS:
1) The “Preset Cooking Button” feature is designed to cook with food which is between
temperatures of20-25 °C. If the food is at a different temperature, the cooking effect
will vary. Please adjust it accordingly.
2) The shape, weight and temperature of the food will affect the cooking outcome.
When using the “Preset Cooking” feature, please follow the weight range instructions
carefully.

CONTAINER & UTENSILS GUIDELINE
It is strongly recommended to only use containers and utensils which are suitable and
safe for microwave cooking. Containers and utensils which are made of heat-resistant
ceramic, glass or plastic are suitable for microwave cooking. Never use metal
containers or utensils for microwave cooking, as this could result in sparks, fire and
injury. Please use below guide as reference:
COOKING TIPS
The following factors may affect cooking results:
FOOD ARRANGEMENT
Place thicker food pieces towards outside of the dish, the thinner parts towards the
centre and spread them evenly. Do not overlap food pieces if possible.
COOKING TIME
Start cooking with a short time setting, evaluate it after the cooking time has completed
and extend it accordingly (if needed). Over-cooking may result in smoke and burnt
food.
COOKING FOOD EVENLY
Food such as chicken, hamburger patties or steak should be turned once during
cooking. Depending on the type of food, if applicable, interrupt the cooking process
and stir the food from the outside to the centre of the of dish, then resume cooking. This
only needs to be done once or twice during cooking.
ALLOW STANDING TIME
After cooking, leave the food in the microwave for an adequate length of time. This
allows it to complete its cooking cycle and cool down in a gradual manner.
WHETHER THE FOOD IS DONE
Colour and hardness of food help to determine if it is done. These include:
- Steam coming out from all parts of food, not just the edge
- Joints of poultry can be moved easily
- Pork or poultry shows no signs of blood
- Fish is opaque and can be sliced easily with a fork
BROWNING DISH
When using a browning dish or self-heating container, always place a heat-resistant
insulator, such as a porcelain plate, under it to prevent damage to the turntable and
rotating ring.
MICROWAVE SAFE PLASTIC WRAP
When cooking food with high fat content, do not allow the plastic wrap come into
contact with food as it may melt.
MICROWAVE SAFE PLASTIC COOKWARE
Some microwave safe plastic cookware might not be suitable for cooking foods with
high fat and sugar content. Also, the preheating time specified in the dish instructions
must not be exceeded.

REMOVING ODOURS AFTER USE
We recommend 3 alternative methods to assist in removing odours after use:
Method 1
Place several lemon slices in a cup then insert it into the microwave cavity. Heat the
microwave on high power for 2-3 minutes.
Method 2
Place a cup of red tea into the microwave cavity. Heat the microwave on high power
for 1-2 minutes.
Method 3
Place several orange peels into the microwave cavity. Heat the microwave on high
power for 1 minute.
