COOKING TIPS:
In the cookbook section, you will find detailed instructions for recipe preparation, only basic cooking hints are
given here.
1. Push the door opening button, and the door will open, then place the food on the turntable.
2. If you wish to stop cooking before the cooking time has elapsed, turn the TIMER back to “0” (off), or open
the oven door. The oven door may be opened at any time during cooking (the TIMER will stop to indicate
how much cooking time remains). To continue cooking, close the door. If you wish to change the cooking time
during cooking, simply turn the TIMER to the desired new setting.
WARNING:
Be sure to turn the TIMER back to “0” (off) position after cooking, or the oven will start when the oven door is closed.

Your oven has 5 power levels. To choose the power level
for cooking, follow the advice given in the recipe section.
Generally the following recommendations apply:
800 W used for fast cooking or reheating e.g. soup,
casseroles, canned food, hot beverages, vegetables,
fish, etc.
560 W used for longer cooking of dense foods such
as roast joints, meat loaf and plated meals, also for
sensitive dishes such as cheese sauce and sponge
cakes. At this reduced setting, the sauce will not boil
over and food will cook evenly without over cooking at
the sides.
400 W for dense foods which require a long cooking
time when cooked conventionally, eg. beef dishes, it is
advisable to use this power setting to ensure the meat
will be tender.
240 W to defrost, select this power setting, to ensure
that the dish defrosts evenly. This setting is also ideal
for simmering rice, pasta, dumplings and cooking egg
custard.
80 W For gentle defrosting, eg. cream gateaux or
pastry.
NOTES:
1. Your oven can be programmed up to 30 Minutes. The input unit of cooking or defrosting time varies from
15 seconds to 5 minutes, depending on the total cooking/defrosting time, as marked on the LIGHT DISPLAY.
2. Your microwave oven is equipped with a safety function to avoid unintended use. The TIMER can be set to operate the
microwave oven only within 3 minutes after a cooking cycle ends or after closing the oven door. Otherwise the oven
door must be opened and closed again, before the TIMER can be set.
