Starting the oven: Close the door and press the START/AUTO MINUTE key. 1. Enter the cooking time by pressing the 1 min. key twice, then the 10 sec. key three times. x2 Stopping the oven: If you want to stop the oven during cooking, press the STOP/CLEAR key once or open the oven door.
HOW TO OPERATE YOUR OVEN MANUAL DEFROSTING • Enter the defrosting time and use microwave power levels 10% or 30% to defrost (refer to page 7). • Stir or turn the food, where possible, 2 - 3 times during defrosting. • After defrosting, cover the food in foil and leave to stand until thoroughly defrosted. • Refer to the defrosting charts in the cookbook section, page 42. Example: To defrost for 10 minutes on 30% microwave power. 1. Enter the defrosting time by pressing the 10 min. key once.
GRILL COOKING The oven has top and bottom grills which can be used separately or combined. These have one power setting only. The grill is assisted by the turntable which rotates simultaneously to ensure even browning. Use the racks for grilling small items of food such as bacon, gammon and teacakes, turn over halfway through grilling. Food can be placed either directly onto the racks, or into a flan dish/heat-resistant plate on the high rack. Example: To grill for 20 minutes, using GRILL-3.
PREHEATING THE OVEN Example: To preheat the oven to 180°C. Your oven can be preheated to a desired temperature prior to convection cooking. 1. Enter the temperature by pressing the CONV. (°C) key 5 times. NOTES: • When the oven reaches the desired temperature, the audible signal will sound and the temperature will be displayed in °C. Do not press the STOP/CLEAR key after opening and closing the door, as this will cancel the Convection mode.
CONVECTION COOKING Your oven can be programmed to cook with ten different temperatures by combining the top and bottom grills with the convection fan. (Please refer to the notes below.) Example: To cook for 20 minutes at 200°C convection. 1. Enter the cooking time by pressing the 10 min. key twice. x2 The temperatures available in °C are: 250°C, 230°C, 220°C, 200°C, 180°C, 160°C, 130°C, 100°C, 70°C, 40°C. • Convection cooking is ideal for roasting and baking.
COMBI COOKING Combi combines microwave power with convection or grill. Example for Microwave and Convection: To cook for 20 minutes using Combi-1, 230°C, 10% microwave power. 1. Enter the cooking time by pressing the 10 min. key twice The combination of microwave power with convection or grill reduces cooking time and provides a crisp, brown finish. x2 There are three Combi modes: 1. Combi-1 - Convection with microwave. 2. Combi-2 - Top grill with microwave. 3. Combi-3 - Bottom grill with microwave. 2.
COMBI COOKING NOTES: • For Combi-2 and Combi-3 it is not necessary to preheat the grill. • Follow the recommended combi cooking times and procedures in the charts on pages 46 - 47. • When browning foods in a deep container, place on the turntable or low rack. • Temperature measurements taken whilst the oven is in convection mode will differ from the displayed level. This is due to the grill elements turning on and off in order to regulate the oven temperature.

MICROWAVE COOKING ADVICE Microwaves cook food faster than conventional cooking. It is therefore essential that certain techniques are followed to ensure good results. Many of the following techniques are similar to those used in conventional cooking. COOKING ADVICE NOTES: • Always attend the oven when in use. • Ensure that the utensils are suitable for use in a microwave oven. (See ‘Suitable Cookware’ on page 34.) • Refer to the charts in the cookbook section for recommended cooking times and power levels.
MICROWAVE COOKING ADVICE Food Characteristics Composition Foods high in fat or sugar (e.g. Christmas pudding, mince pies) require less heating time. Care should be taken as overheating can lead to fire. Bones in food conduct heat, making the food cook more quickly. Care must be taken so that the food is cooked evenly. Density Food density will affect the amount of cooking time needed. Light porous foods, such as cakes or bread, cook more quickly than heavy, dense foods, such as roasts and casseroles.
SUITABLE COOKWARE To cook/defrost food in a microwave oven, the microwave energy must be able to pass through the container to penetrate the food. Therefore it is important to choose suitable cookware. Round/oval dishes are preferable to square/oblong ones, as the food in the corners tends to overcook. A variety of cookware can be used as listed below.
DEFROSTING ADVICE Using your microwave is a very efficient method of defrosting. It is a simple proccess but the following instructions are essential to ensure the food is thoroughly defrosted. Rearrange Foods that are placed towards the outside of the dish will defrost quicker than foods in the centre. It is therefore essential that the food is rearranged up to 4 times during defrosting. Move closely packed pieces from the outside to the centre and rearrange over-lapping areas.
REHEATING ADVICE Follow the advice and guidelines below to ensure food is thoroughly reheated before serving: Plated meals Remove poultry or meat portions, reheat these separately, see below. Place smaller items of food to the centre of the plate, larger and thicker foods to the edge. Cover with vented microwave cling film and reheat on 50%, stir/ rearrange halfway through reheating. NOTE: Ensure the food is thoroughly reheated before serving.
CLEANING & MAINTENANCE OVEN INTERIOR • It is important to clean the interior of your microwave oven after each use. • To clean the oven interior, use a mild detergent solution, such as washing-up liquid, with warm water on a soft cloth. • Heat up your oven regularly by using the grill, refer to NOTE on page 12. Remaining food or fat splashed can cause smoke or bad smell. • Food and liquid splashes will build-up on the oven walls and ceiling.
TROUBLESHOOTING If you think the oven is not working properly there are some simple checks you can carry out yourself before calling an engineer. This will help prevent unnecessary service calls if the fault is something simple. Follow this simple check below: Place half a cup of water on the turntable and close the door. Programme the oven to cook for 1 minute using 100% microwave power. 1. Does the oven lamp come on when it is cooking? 2. Does the turntable rotate? 3.
TROUBLESHOOTING QUERY ANSWER Draught circulates around the door. When the oven is working, air circulates within the cavity. The door does not form an airtight seal so air may escape from the door. Condensation forms in the oven, and may drip from the door. The oven cavity will normally be colder than the food being cooked, and so steam produced when cooking will condense on the colder surface. The amount of steam produced depends on the water content of the food being cooked.
TO REPLACE THE MAINS PLUG The wires in the mains cable are colour coded as shown: Green and yellow stripes = EARTH Blue = NEUTRAL Brown = LIVE Make sure the terminal screws are tight and the cable is held securely by the cable grip where it enters the plug. Like most appliances in your home, your oven must be connected to a single phase 230-240V, 50Hz alternating current supply.
