About microwave energy
Microwaves are high-frequency electromagnetic waves. The oven uses its built-in
magnetron to generate microwaves which cook or reheat food without deforming
or discolouring the food.
1. The microwaves generated by the
magnetron are distributed uniformly by
the whirling distribution system. This is
why the food is cooked evenly.
2. The microwaves are absorbed into the
food up to a depth of approximately
1 inch (2.5 cm). Then, the microwaves
are dissipated inside the food as
cooking continues.
3. The cooking time is affected by the
following conditions of the food:
• Quantity and density
• Moisture content
• Initial temperature (especially,
when frozen)
NOTE
The cooked food keeps heat in its core after cooking is complete. This is why you
must observe the standing times specied in this manual, which ensure that the
food is cooked evenly down to the core.
Sound On/Off
You can turn on or off the key tone, beep, or alarm. This setting is available only in
the Standby state (when the current time is displayed).
To mute the sound, hold down for
3 seconds. “OFF” appears on the display.
To unmute the sound, hold down again for
3 seconds. “ON” appears on the display.

Power Convection guide
Cooking with Power Convection is a powerful combination of the inner grill heater
and the convection ring heater with fan at side. The hot air blows from the top of
the cavity through holes into the oven. The heating element at top and side and
the fan at the side-wall, keeps the hot air circulating evenly.
Use this mode for biscuits, individual scones, rolls, and cakes as well as fruit cakes,
choux, and soufés. Before cooking, preheat with guided temperatures.
All conventional ovenproof cookware, baking tins and sheets – anything you would
normally use in a traditional convection oven – can be used.

Convection
In Convection mode, both the heating element and the side-wall fan operate
together to circulate the heat inside the cooking chamber. Use this mode for

soufés. All conventional ovenproof cookware, baking tins and sheets – anything
you would normally use in a traditional convection oven – can be used.
Microwaves+Convection
This combination mode combines the microwave energy with hot air, resulting in
reduced cooking time and producing a brown, crispy surface of the food. The oven
offers 5 different combination modes for your convenience. Use this for all kinds
of meat and poultry as well as casseroles and gratin dishes, sponge cakes and
light fruit cakes, pies and crumbles, roast vegetables, scones, and breads. Use only
ovenproof cookware, such as glasses, potteries, or bone china without metal trim.
