WARNING
Do not install oven over a range cooktop or
other heat-producing appliance. If installed
near or over a heat source, the oven could be
damaged and the warranty would be void
Check the oven for any damage, such as
misaligned or bent door, damaged door seals
and sealing surface, broken or loose door
hinges and latches and dents inside the cavity

operate the oven and contact a Breville
service centre.
Do not immerse the microwave oven, power
cord or plug in water or any other liquid.
INTRODUCTION TO MICROWAVE
COOKING
• Microwaves are invisible waves of
electromagnetic energy similar to radio
waves. Instead of being converted to
sound as in a radio or mobile phones, it is
converted into a heat source which heats
food from the inside.
• Microwaves cook because food molecules
of water, fat and sugar react to the energy
provided by the microwaves. That energy is
absorbed by the food causing the molecules
to vibrate quickly. This movement creates
friction which causes the food to heat up
and therefore cook.
• The energy in a microwave is not
distributed evenly throughout the cavity.
The turntable rotates constantly while
cooking which prevents uneven cooking.
• Microwave cooking is considered the “cool”
cooking method as only the food gets hot
and surrounding air stays cool.
• Microwaves are safe and can
be economical.
• Ovens need no preheating therefore the
kitchen stays cooler. Cooking is cleaner
with less odours and washing up is reduced.
• Microwave ovens cook foods rapidly, Some
foods are better cooked in a microwave
oven as they retain more flavour, texture
and goodness, such plain fish fillets, soft
fruit, vegetables and fat free cakes.
16
• In a microwave the heat is produced
INSIDE the food. In all other conventional
cooking methods, heat is applied from
OUTSIDE through transference of heat by
convection or radiation.
• Microwave energy penetrates the food
to a depth of about 25mm. Small foods
under 5cm in diameter such as eggs are
penetrated to the centre from all sides. In
larger foods, energy creates heat in the
outer layer; this then moves to the centre
by conduction, as it does with conventional
cooking.
SETTING THE CLOCK
When power is activated, the LED will display
00:00. The input time should be within
1:00–12:59.

Always cook defrosted foods immediately
after thawing.”
TIPS ON DEFROSTING
• The energy required for defrosting is much
less than for cooking, the microwave causes
the ice formed in the food to melt rather
than heat.
• Before defrosting meat, remove the freezer
bag or wrap to prevent meat sitting in
‘drip’, which will otherwise boil as the meat
defrosts causing meat to go grey and begin
to stew. To remove frozen meat from freezer
wrappings, defrost for a few minutes so the
wrap is easy to remove.
• Remove meat from Styrofoam tray, as they
are not microwave safe.
• Place meat onto a rack with a drip tray
to catch juices. Alternatively, place onto
a microwave safe plate that is lined
with absorbent paper and elevate on an
upturned bowl or cup.
• Refer to your user manual for its preferred
setting and timing.
• Check the meat throughout the defrosting
time. As outer portions of meat thaw,
remove them. If the edges of meat feel
warm, stop microwaving and allow meat to
stand for a few minutes or until edges are
cold again.
• After defrosting the meat it must be cooked
right away. Don’t leave it to stand for any
length of time at room temperature or in the
fridge.

Tips
SOME IMPORTANT TIPS FOR
MICROWAVING COOKING
To help equalize energy in the food so that it
cooks evenly follow these helpful tips.
1. Arrange foods with varying size ends, such
as chicken drumsticks and broccoli with
the thicker or tougher part positioned to the
outside of the dish. This ensures the parts
that require more cooking will receive more
energy, so the food will cook evenly.
2. Covering the dish during cooking holds
in the heat and steam to speed up cooking
time. Use a microwave safe lid or plastic
wrap that has been vented by turning back
one edge at the side of the dish to form a
narrow vent to release excess steam.
3. Choose cooking dishes that are shallow
and preferably have straight sides. Shallow
dishes enable the food to cook faster and
straight edges prevent the edges from
being overcooked.
4. Arrange individual items such as ramekins
or whole potatoes around the outside of
the turntable. Making sure to leave space
between items so the energy can penetrate
from all sides.
5. Use round shaped microwave dishes. Round
shapes cook more evenly than square or
rectangular dishes which absorb most of
the energy in the corners causing food to
overcook and toughen.
6. Shield areas which attract the most energy
such as wing tips of chickens and corners of
square dishes by covering them with small
pieces of foil. This will reflect microwaves
and prevent overcooking and food drying
out.
7. Heat breads, biscuits or oily food on paper
towel. This prevents the build-up of steam
between food and turntable, keeping
surfaces crisp and dry. Cover foods with
paper towel to prevent splatters.
8. Stir foods from the outside to centre of
the dish once or twice during cooking to
equalize heat and speed microwaving.
9. Turn medium to large food items over once
during microwaving. This enables even
exposure to microwaves.
10. Elevating some types of food such as cakes,
roast vegetables and dough products can
be advantageous. It allows more energy
to penetrate the food from all sides, base
and top. Use a microwave safe plastic or
ceramic rack. If a rack is unavailable, use
an upturned bowl or cup may be used to
elevate plates of food.
11. Do not elevate any special browning dishes,
jugs of sauce or custard, small quantities of
food or mugs of beverages.
12. Internal temperatures of foods continue
to rise so that they continue cooking even
after they have been removed from the
microwave oven. It is better to undercook
food as it will continue to cook once
removed from the microwave.
MICROWAVE UTENSILS
• Containers, plates, dishes, etc. used in
the microwave oven should always be
microwave-safe. Check if stated on the
underside of the utensil or contact
the manufacturer.
• To test if a container, plate or dish is
microwave-safe, place it into the microwave
oven with 1 cup of cold water (in a
microwave-safe cup) and heat on High
(100%) Power for 1 minute. If the container
is hot and the water is cold, the container is
not suitable for microwave oven use. If the
container is cold and the water is hot, then
the container is suitable for microwave
oven use.
• Metal containers and utensils should not be
used in the microwave oven.

Care & Cleaning
CARE & CLEANING
• Switch off the microwave oven
at the power outlet and remove the plug
from the power outlet before cleaning.
• Keep the inside of the microwave oven clean.
When food splatters or spilled liquids adhere
to the microwave oven internal walls, wipe
with a damp cloth. Mild detergent may be
used if the cavity gets very dirty. Avoid the
use of spray and other harsh cleaners as they
may stain, streak or dull the door surface.
• The outside surfaces should be cleaned with
a damp cloth. To prevent damage to the
operating parts inside the microwave oven
cavity, water should not be allowed to seep
into the ventilation openings.
• Wipe the door and window on both sides of
the door seals and adjacent parts frequently
with a damp cloth to remove any spills or
spatters. Do not use an
abrasive cleaner.
• Do not allow the control panel to become
wet. Clean with a soft, damp cloth. When
cleaning the control panel, leave the
microwave oven door open to prevent it
from accidentally turning on.
• If steam accumulates inside or around the
outside of the oven door, wipe with a soft
dry cloth. This may occur when cooking
foods high in moisture or if the microwave
oven is operated under high humidity
conditions, this is normal.
• It is occasionally necessary to remove
the glass turntable for cleaning. Wash the
turntable in warm soapy water, rinse in
clean water and dry thoroughly.
• The roller ring and microwave oven floor
should be cleaned regularly to ensure the
glass turntable rotates correctly and avoids
making excessive noise. Simply wipe the
bottom surface of the microwave with a soft
damp cloth. The roller ring may be washed
in mild soapy water, rinse in clean water and
dry thoroughly. When removing the roller
ring from the cavity floor for cleaning, be
sure to replace in the proper position.
• Remove odours from your microwave oven
by combining a cup of water with the juice
of one lemon in a deep microwave-safe bowl,
microwave on High PL10 for 5 minutes.
Wipe the microwave oven cavity thoroughly
and dry with a soft cloth.
• When it becomes necessary to replace the
oven light, please consult your Breville
Service Centre to have it replaced.
• Please do not dispose this appliance with
domestic rubbish; it should be taken to the
appropriate disposal centre provided by the
local council municipalities.
• If storing the microwave oven, press the
STOP/CLEAR button, switch off at the
power outlet then unplug the power cord.
Ensure the microwave oven is completely
cool, clean and dry. Secure the roller ring
and glass turntable and close the door. Do
not place heavy objects on top. Store the
microwave oven upright.
BEFORE YOU CALL FOR SERVICE
• Check to ensure that the oven is plugged in
securely. If it is not, remove the plug from
the power outlet, wait 10 seconds and plug
it in again securely.
• Check for a blown circuit fuse or a tripped
main circuit breaker. If these seem to be
operating properly, test the power outlet
with another appliance.
• Check to ensure that the control panel is
programmed correctly and the timer is set.
• Check to ensure that the door is securely
closed engaging the door safety lock
system. Otherwise, the microwave energy
will not flow into the oven.
NOTE
If none of the above rectify the situation, then
contact your Breville Service Centre. Do NOT
try to adjust or repair the oven yourself.
