Warning! Do not attempt to tamper with or make any adjustments or repairs to the door, control panel housing, safety interlock switches or any other part of the oven. Do not remove the outer panel from the oven which gives protection against exposure to microwave energy.
IP5091_39M6CBP_Eng_00_141104:F00039M69BP 2014-11-4 16:38 Page 3 For Countertop use: The oven must be placed on a flat, stable surface 85 cm above the floor, with rear of oven placed against a back wall. For proper operation the oven must have sufficient air flow. At least 15cm/6" should be clear over the top of the oven, and one side of the oven should be kept open. When heating food in plastic or paper containers, check the oven frequently as these types of containers ignite if overheated.

Disconnect the power cord, or shut off power at the fuse or the circuit breaker panel. Short Cooking Times As microwave cooking times are much shorter than other cooking methods it is essential that recommended cooking times are not exceeded without first checking the food.

Microwaves are present in the atmosphere all the time, both naturally and from manmade sources. Manmade sources include radar, radio, television, telecommunication links and mobile phones.
NN-CF760M CF750W CF771 BP_Regs:F00039M69BP 26/2/13 10:19 Page 19 Important Notes The dish used to cook or reheat the food will get warm during cooking, as the heat conducts from the food. Even in microwaving, oven gloves are required! MICROWAVES CANNOT PASS THROUGH METAL AND THEREFORE METAL COOKING UTENSILS CAN NEVER BE USED IN A MICROWAVE, FOR COOKING ON MICROWAVE ONLY Foods Not Suitable for Cooking by Microwave Only Yorkshire Puddings, Souffles, Double Crust Pastry Pies.
NN-CF760M CF750W CF771 BP_Regs:F00039M69BP 26/2/13 10:19 Page 20 General Guidelines Standing time Dense foods e.g. meat, jacket potatoes and cakes, require a STANDING TIME (inside or outside of the oven) after cooking, to allow heat to finish conducting through the food. • Meat Joints – Stand 15 mins. wrapped in aluminium foil. • Jacket Potatoes – Stand 5 mins. wrapped in aluminium foil when cooked by microwave only. It is not necessary to stand jacket potatoes cooked in COMBINATION mode.
NN-CF760M CF750W CF771 BP_Regs:F00039M69BP 26/2/13 10:19 Page 21 General Guidelines Piercing Moisture Content The skin or membrane on some foods will cause steam to build up during cooking. These foods must be pierced or a strip of skin should be peeled off before cooking to allow the steam to escape. Eggs, potatoes, apples, sausages etc, will all need to be pierced before cooking. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO BOIL EGGS IN THEIR SHELLS. Many fresh foods e.g.
NN-CF760M CF750W CF771 BP_Regs:F00039M69BP 26/2/13 10:19 Page 22 General Guidelines Quantity Density Small quantities cook faster than large quantities, also small meals will reheat more quickly than large portions. Porous airy foods heat more quickly than dense heavy foods. Shape Arranging Even shapes cook evenly. Individual foods e.g. chicken portions or chops, should be placed on a dish so that the thicker parts are to the outside.
NN-CF760M CF750W CF771 BP_Regs:F00039M69BP 26/2/13 10:19 Page 23 General Guidelines Starting Temperature Covering The colder the food, the longer it takes to heat up. Food from a fridge takes longer to reheat than food at room temperature. Food temperature should be between 5-8ºC before cooking. Cover foods with microwave cling film or a self-fitting lid. Cover fish, vegetables, casseroles, soups. Do not cover cakes, sauces, jacket potatoes, pastry items.
NN-CF760M CF750W CF771 BP_Regs:F00039M69BP 26/2/13 10:19 Page 24 Containers to use Choosing the correct container is a very important factor in deciding the success or failure of your cooking. Testing Dishes for Suitability - For Microwave Cooking Only. When unsure that a cooking container is suitable for use in your microwave, check by the following test: 1. Fill a microwave safe measuring jug with 300ml (½ pt) cold water. 2. Place it on the base of the oven alongside the dish to be tested.
NN-CF760M CF750W CF771 BP_Regs:F00039M69BP 26/2/13 10:19 Page 25 Containers to use Pottery, Earthenware, Stoneware Foil/Metal Containers If completely glazed, these dishes are suitable. Do not use if partially glazed or unglazed, since they are able to absorb water which in turn absorbs microwave energy, making the container very hot and slows down the cooking of food.
NN-CF760M CF750W CF771 BP_Regs:F00039M69BP 26/2/13 10:19 Page 26 Containers to use Wicker, Wood, Straw Baskets Dishes will crack and could ignite. Do not use wooden dishes in your microwave. DO NOT USE ON ANY COOKING MODE. Roasting Bags Roasting bags are useful when slit up one side to tent a joint, for roasting by power and time. Do not use the metal twists supplied, when using Microwave or Combination.

NN-CF760M CF750W CF771 BP_Regs:F00039M69BP 26/2/13 10:19 Page 33 Auto Weight Defrost Programs Category 1 Bread The Bread Program is suitable for defrosting small items e.g. rolls, buns and slices of bread which are required for immediate use. Small items may feel warm immediately after defrosting. Loaves can also be defrosted on this program but these will require standing time to allow the centre to thaw out. Standing time can be shortened if slices are separated and buns and loaves cut in half.
NN-CF760M CF750W CF771 BP_Regs:F00039M69BP 26/2/13 10:19 Page 34 Defrosting Guidelines By selecting the DEFROST power level from the microwave power button and setting a time, you can defrost food in your microwave. The biggest problem is getting the inside defrosted before the outside starts to cook. For this reason a defrost program alternates between a defrost power and a standing time. The name for this type of defrost is cyclic.
