HOW A MICROWAVE OVEN WORKS
Microwaves are high-frequency electromagnetic waves; the energy released
enables food to be cooked or reheated without changing either the form or
the colour.
You can use your microwave oven to:
• Defrost
• Reheat
• Cook
Cooking principle.
1. The microwaves generated by the magnetron
reflected at cavity and are distributed uniformly as
the food rotates on the turntable. The food is thus
cooked evenly.
2. The microwaves are absorbed by the food up to
a depth of about 1 inch (2.5 cm). Cooking then
continues as the heat is dissipated within the food.
3. Cooking times vary according to the container used
and the properties of the food:
• Quantity and density
• Water content
• Initial temperature (refrigerated or not)
As the centre of the food is cooked by heat dissipation, cooking
continues even when you have taken the food out of the oven.
Standing times specified in recipes and in this booklet must therefore
be respected to ensure:
• Even cooking of the food right to the centre
• The same temperature throughout the food
MC455THRCSR_SA_DE68-04172A-01_EN.indd 11 1/30/2018 3:23:06 PM

Auto sensor cooking instructions
The Auto Sensor allows you to cook your food automatically by detecting
the amount of gases generated from the food while cooking.
• When cooking food, many kinds of gases are generated. The Auto
Sensor determines the proper time and power level by detecting these
gases from the food, eliminating the need to set the cooking time and
power level.
• When you cover a container with its lid or plastic wrap during Sensor
Cooking, the Auto Sensor will detect the gases generated after the
container has been saturated with steam.
• Shortly before cooking ends, the remaining cooking time will begin its
count down. This will be a good time for you to rotate or stir the food for
even cooking if it is necessary.
• Before auto sensor cooking food may be seasoned with herbs, spices
or browning sauces. A word of caution though, salt or sugar may cause
burn spots on food so these ingredients should be added after cooking.
• The More/Less function pad is used to increase or decrease cooking
time. You should use this function to adjust the degree of cooking to suit
your personal taste. Utensils & Cover For Sensor Cooking.
•
To obtain good cooking results with this function, follow the directions for
selecting appropriate containers and covers in the charts in this book.
• Always use microwave-safe containers and cover them with their lids
or with plastic wrap. When using plastic wrap, turn back one corner to
allow steam to escape at the proper rate.
• Always cover with the lid intended for the utensil being used. If the
utensil does not have its own lid, use plastic wrap.
• Fill containers at least half full.
• Foods that require stirring or rotating should be stirred or turned toward
the end of the Sensor Cook cycle, after the time has started to count
down on the display.

Utensils & Cover for sensor cooking
• To obtain good cooking results with this function, follow the directions
for selecting appropriate containers and covers in the charts in this
book.
• Always use microwave-safe containers and cover them with their lids
or with plastic wrap. When using plastic wrap, turn back one corner to
allow steam to escape at the proper rate.
• Always cover with the lid intended for the utensil being used. If the
utensil does not have its own lid, use plastic wrap.
• Fill containers at least half full.
• Foods that require stirring or rotating should be stirred or turned toward
the end of the Sensor Cook cycle, after the time has started to count
down on the display.
Important
• After installing the oven and plugging into an electrical outlet, do not
unplug the power cord. The gas sensor needs time to stabilize in order
to cook satisfactorily.
• It its not advisable to use the auto sensor cooking feature on a
continuous cooking operation, i.e. one cooking operation immediately
after another.
• Install the oven in a well ventilated location for proper cooling and airflow
and to ensure the sensor will operate accurately.
• To avoid poor results, do not use the Auto sensor when the room
ambient temperature is too high or too low.
• Do not use volatile detergent to clean your oven. Gas resulting from this
detergent may aect the sensor.
• Avoid placing the oven near high moisture or gas emitting appliances,
since this will interfere with the proper performance of the Auto Sensor.
• Always keep the inside of the oven clean. Wipe all spills with a damp
cloth.
This oven is designed for household use only.
FAST PREHEATING THE OVEN
For convection cooking, it is recommended that you preheat the oven to
the appropriate temperature before placing the food in the oven. When the
oven reaches the requested temperature, it is maintained for approximately
10 minutes; it is then switched o automatically. Check that the heating
element is in the correct position for type of cooking that you require.

cooking guide
MICROWAVES
Microwave energy actually penetrates food, attracted and absorbed by its
water, fat and sugar content.
The microwaves cause the molecules in the food to move rapidly. The rapid
movement of these molecules creates friction and the resulting heat cooks
the food.
COOKING
Cookware for microwave cooking:
Cookware must allow microwave energy to pass through it for maximum
eciency. Microwaves are reflected by metal, such as stainless steel,
aluminium and copper, but they can penetrate through ceramic, glass,
porcelain and plastic as well as paper and wood. So food must never be
cooked in metal containers.
Food suitable for microwave cooking:
Many kinds of food are suitable for microwave cooking, including fresh or
frozen vegetables, fruit, pasta, rice, grains, beans, fish, and meat. Sauces,
custard, soups, steamed puddings, preserves, and chutneys can also be
cooked in a microwave oven. Generally speaking, microwave cooking is
ideal for any food that would normally be prepared on a hob. Melting butter
or chocolate, for example (see the chapter with special hints and tips).
Covering during cooking
To cover the food during cooking is very important, as the evaporated water
rises as steam and contributes to cooking process. Food can be covered in
dierent ways: e.g. with a ceramic plate, plastic cover or microwave suitable
cling film.
Standing times
After cooking is over food the standing time is important to allow the
temperature to even out within the food.
Cooking Guide for fresh vegetables
Use a suitable glass pyrex bowl with lid. Add 30-45 ml cold water (2-3 tbsp.)
f
or every 250 g unless another water quantity is recommended – see table.
Cook covered for the minimum time – see table. Continue cooking to get
the result you prefer. Stir once during and once after cooking. Add salt,
herbs or butter after cooking. Cover during a standing time of 3 minutes.
Hint: Cut the fresh vegetables into even sized pieces.
The smaller they are cut, the quicker they will cook.
All fresh vegetables should be cooked using full microwave power (900 W).

06 COOKING GUIDE
Cooking Guide for rice and pasta
Rice: Use a large glass pyrex bowl with lid – rice doubles in
volume during cooking. Cook covered.
After the cooking time is over, stir before standing time and
salt or add herbs and butter.
Remark: the rice may not have absorbed all water after the
cooking time is finished.
Pasta: Use a large glass pyrex bowl. Add boiling water, a pinch of
salt and stir well. Cook uncovered.
Stir occasionally during and after cooking. Cover during

REHEATING
Your microwave oven will reheat food in a fraction of the time that
conventional ovens hobs normally take.
Use the power levels and reheating times in the following chart as a guide.
The times in the chart consider liquids with a room temperature of about +
18 to + 20 °C or a chilled food with a temperature of about + 5 to + 7 °C.
Arranging and covering
Avoid reheating large items such as joint of meat – they tend to overcook
and dry out before the centre is piping hot. Reheating small pieces will be
more successful.
Power levels and stirring
Some foods can be reheated using 900 W power while others should be
reheated using 600 W, 450 W or even 300 W.
Check the tables for guidance. In general, it is better to reheat food using a
lower power level, if the food is delicate, in large quantities, or if it is likely to
heat up very quickly (mince pies, for example).
Stir well or turn food over during reheating for best results. When possible,
stir again before serving.
Take particular care when heating liquids and baby foods. To prevent
eruptive boiling of liquids and possible scalding, stir before, during and
after heating. Keep them in the microwave oven during standing time. We
recommend putting a plastic spoon or glass stick into the liquids. Avoid
overheating (and therefore spoiling) the food.
It is preferable to underestimate cooking time and add extra heating time, if
necessary.
Heating and standing times
When reheating food for the first time, it is helpful to make a note of the time
taken – for future reference.
Always make sure that the reheated food is piping hot throughout.
Allow food to stand for a short time after reheating - to let the temperature
even out.
The recommended standing time after reheating is 2-4 minutes, unless
another time is recommended in the chart.
Take particular care when heating liquids and baby food. See also the
chapter with the safety precautions.

REHEATING LIQUIDS
Always allow a standing time of at least 20 seconds after the oven has been
switched o to allow the temperature to even out. Stir during heating, if
necessary, and ALWAYS stir after heating. To prevent eruptive boiling and
possible scalding, you should put a spoon or glass stick into the beverages
and stir before, during and after heating.

06 COOKING GUIDE
GRILL
The grill-heating elements are located underneath the ceiling of the cavity.
It operates while the door is closed and the turntable is rotating. The
turntable’s rotation makes the food brown more evenly. Preheating the grill
for 2-3 minutes will make the food brown more quickly.
Cookware for grilling:
Should be flameproof and may include metal. Do not use any type of plastic
cookware, as it can melt.
Food suitable for grilling:
Chops, sausages, steaks, hamburgers, bacon and gammon rashers, thin
fish portions, sandwiches and all kinds of toast with toppings.
Important remark:
Please remember that food must be placed on the high rack, unless
another instruction is recommended.
Place the rack in the middle of turntable.

MICROWAVE + GRILL
This cooking mode combines the radiant heat that is coming from the grill
with the speed of microwave cooking. It operates only while the door is
closed and the turntable is rotating. Due to the rotation of the turntable, the
food browns evenly. Three combination modes are available with this model:
450 W + Grill and 300 W + Grill.
Cookware for cooking with microwaves + grill
Please use cookware that microwaves can pass through. Cookware should
be flameproof. Do not use metal cookware with combination mode. Do not
use any type of plastic cookware, as it can melt.
Food suitable for microwaves + grill cooking:
Food suitable for combination mode cooking include all kinds of cooked
food which need reheating and browning (e.g. baked pasta), as well as
foods which require a short cooking time to brown the top of the food. Also,
this mode can be used for thick food portions that benefit from a browned
and crispy top (e.g. chicken pieces, turning them over half way through
cooking). Please refer to the grill table for further details.
Important remark:
The food should be placed on the high rack, unless another instruction
is recommended. Otherwise it has to be placed directly on the turntable.
Please refer to the instructions in the following chart.
The food must be turned over, if it is to be browned on both sides.
CONVECTION
Cooking with convection is the traditional and well known method of
cooking food in a traditional oven with hot air.
The heating element and the fan are situated on the back-wall, so that the
hot air is circulated.
Cookware for convection cooking:
All conventional ovenproof cookware, baking tins and sheets – anything you
would normally use in a traditional convection oven – can be used.
Food suitable for convection cooking:
All biscuits, individual scones, rolls and cakes should be made by this mode
as well as rich fruit cakes, pastry and soués.
Convection Guide for Baking Tray
Preheat the convection with the auto preheat function to the desired
temperature, unless we recommend not to preheat the oven– see table.
Use the cooking times and instructions in this table as guide lines for
convection baking.
Use baking tray only in convection mode or grill convection mode!
