Before Operation Safety Instructions Precautions to be taken when using Microwave Ovens for Heating foodstuffs PRACTICAL HINTS 1. Before using CONVECTION, COMBINATION or GRILL function for the first time, wipe excessive oil off in oven cavity and operate the oven without food on Grill 1 for 20 minutes. This will allow the oil that is used for protection to be burned off. 2. Exterior oven surfaces, including air vents on the cabinet and the oven door will get hot during CONVECTION, COMBINATION and GRILL.
Installation and Earthing Instructions Placement of Oven WARNING - To reduce the risk of burns, electric shock, fire, injury to persons or excessive microwave energy: 1. Read all instructions before using microwave oven. 2. Some products such as whole eggs and sealed containers - (for example, closed glass jars and sealed baby bottles with a teat) - may explode and should not be heated in a microwave oven. 3. Use this microwave oven only for its intended use as described in this manual. 4.
Before Operation General Instructions 5. When heating liquids, e.g. soup, sauces and beverages in your microwave oven, overheating the liquid beyond boiling point can occur without evidence of bubbling. This could result in a sudden boil over the hot liquid. To prevent this possibility the following steps should be taken: a) Avoid using straight-sided containers with narrow necks. b) Do not overheat. c) Stir the liquid before placing the container in the oven and again halfway through cooking time.
Microwaves and How They Work Metal substances REFLECT microwave energy because there is no absorption and there is no heating. This is why the oven interior is either stainless steel or paint-coated steel. This ensures that the microwaves are kept inside the cavity and evenly distributed throughout the food with the help of the turntable. Electricity is converted into microwave energy by the magnetron tube (which is the heart of the microwave oven).
Before Operation Cookware and Utensil Guide Plastics Metal Plastic dishes, cups and some freezer containers should be used with care in a microwave oven. Choose plastic containers carefully, as some plastic containers may become soft, melt and scorch. The majority of plastic dishes, even those designed for use in the microwave oven, are not suitable for cooking foods with high fat or sugar content, or for lengthy cooking time.

Before Operation Feature Diagram Ceramic Tray 1. 2. 3. 4. Do not operate the oven without Roller Ring and Ceramic Tray in place. Only use Ceramic Tray specifically designed for this oven. Do not substitute any other Ceramic tray. If Ceramic Tray is hot, allow to cool before cleaning or placing in water. Do not cook directly on Ceramic Tray unless otherwise indicated. Always place food in a microwave-safe dish, or on a rack set in a microwave-safe dish. 5.

Use of Accessory: Low Rack Place a heatproof glass or ceramic dish under the rack to catch any drips from the roast.
To Cook on Convection One Level Convection: Just like a conventional oven, the convection oven has a heating element to give the dry heating needed to produce crisp, browned exteriors. Convection cooking has the addition of a fan to produce conventional results with a slightly reduced cooking time. Convection cooking temperatures range from 100˚C to 250˚C. Most conventional recipes will be suitable for use. Follow the minimum suggested cooking times and add additional time if required.

To Use Recipe Prompting Recipe Prompting helps you to cook by following the methods in the display window. 40 recipes are programmed. (Refer to the next page.
To Use Recipe Prompting NOTE: Throughout Recipe Prompting, the oven will instruct you to set the cooking time and power level at each stage of the recipe. Set the instructed power level and cooking time using the Micro Power pad and Time pads. These settings are a guide only. If you wish to change, the oven can accept a different power level and cooking time. For further information about cooking any of these recipes, refer to the cooking guide section.
Before Requesting Service ALL THESE THINGS ARE NORMAL: Some radio and TV interference might occur when you cook with the microwave oven. This interference is similar to the interference caused by small appliances such as mixers, vacuums, hair dryer, etc. It does not indicate a problem with your oven. The oven lights dim. When cooking with a power other than HIGH, the oven must cycle to obtain the lower power levels. The oven light will dim and clicking noises can be heard when the oven cycles.
Microwave Recipe Preparation and Techniques Microwaves penetrate the surface of the food to a depth of about two to three centimeters and then the heat is gradually conducted in a random pattern. Some parts of food matter cook faster than others. Special microwaving techniques are used to promote fast and even cooking. Some of these techniques are similar to those used in conventional cooking, but because microwaves produce heat very quickly they are extremely important.
Microwave Recipe Preparation and Techniques Covering Covering food minimises the microwave cooking time. Because microwave cooking is done with time and not direct heat, the rate of evaporation cannot be easily controlled. However, this can be corrected by using different materials to cover dishes. Plastic wrap is the best substitute for a lid as it creates a tighter seal and so retains more heat and steam. Wax paper and paper towels hold the heat in, but not the steam.
Microwave Recipe Preparation and Techniques Menu Planning for Microwave Cooking Handy Hints and Tips • To blanch (1 cup) nuts, place in a pie plate. Cover with hot tap water and heat on HIGH for 2 to 3 minutes. Rinse in cold water and rub between sheets of paper towel to remove skins. • To toast coconut, place half a cup on a paper towel, and cook on HIGH for 1 to 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
