SPECIAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN
Wipe the oven cavity with a soft, damp
cloth after each use. Leaving food residue, grease or fat in the cavity could cause the microwave oven cavity to overheat and may cause the microwave oven to smoke or catch fire.
The microwave oven should be cleaned
regularly and any food splattering inside the cavity should be removed. Failure to maintain the microwave oven in a clean condition could lead to deterioration of the surface, adversely affecting the life of the microwave oven and possibly resulting in a hazardous situation.
If the door seals or any of the microwave
oven is damaged, the microwave oven must not be operated until it has been inspected and/or repaired at an authorised Breville Service Centre.
The microwave oven is intended for
heating food and beverages. Drying of food or clothing and heating or warming pads, slippers, sponges, damp cloth and similar may lead to risk of injury, ignition or fire.
Ensure all food containers and/or plates
are suitable for use in the microwave oven. This should be done prior to preparing food for heating or cooking in the microwave oven. Monitor foods and liquids heating or cooking in the microwave oven at all times due to the possibility of containers igniting.
Containers or plates suitable for use in the
microwave oven should not exceed the width of the glass turntable as this may impede the rotation of the turntable and result in food being unevenly cooked.
Liquids or other foods must not be heated
in sealed containers since they are liable to explode.
Some containers and/or plates may appear
suitable for use in the microwave oven but may be coated in a glaze that will absorb the microwave energy, overheat and cause the container to crack. The glaze may also prevent the food from heating/cooking.
Food and/or liquids should not be heated
or cooked directly on the glass turntable. Food and/or liquids must be placed into a suitable microwave-proof container before placing onto the glass turntable.
Food and/or liquids should not be heated
or cooked in plastic or paper containers or bags, unless specified a suitable for use by the manufacturer, due to the possibility of containers exploding or igniting.
When heating food in plastic or paper
containers, keep an eye on the oven due to the possibility of ignition.
Metal clips or twist ties should be removed
from the packaging as these could cause sparking and/or fire.
Do not use recycled paper or kitchen paper
towelling when cooking. Recycled paper may contain small metal or other impurities which could cause sparking and/or fire.

Food grade foil should not be used in
the microwave oven as this could cause sparking and/or fire.
Ensure that lids and caps covering
containers are removed prior to placing liquids and/or foods into the microwave oven.
Feeding bottles and baby food jars should
have lids and caps removed before warming or heating in the microwave oven. To avoid burns or scalding after heating, the contents should be stirred or shaken and the temperature checked before serving.
Always ensure the temperature of food or
drink which has been heated or cooked in the microwave oven has been tested before eating, drinking or serving to others, especially children, disabled or elderly people.
The heating of liquids and beverages in
the microwave oven can result in delayed eruptive boiling. Care must be taken when handling any containers containing hot liquids or beverages.
Do not heat popcorn in the microwave
oven unless it has been commercially packaged for microwave use. There may be a number of un-popped kernels that may overcook and burn when popping popcorn. Do not use oil unless recommended by the manufacturer. Do not pop popcorn longer than the manufacturer’s instructions (popping time should not exceed 3 minutes). Longer cooking could cause scorching or fire.
Do not cook any food surrounded by a
membrane (such as potatoes, chicken liver, egg yolks, oysters, etc) without first piercing the membrane several times with a fork or similar utensils.
Eggs in the shell and whole hard boiled
eggs should not be cooked or heated in the microwave oven as they may explode during cooking, at the end of cooking or after removing from the microwave oven.
Do not heat oil or fat in the microwave
oven. Doing so may cause the microwave oven and/or the oil to overheat and/or ignite.
If any smoke is observed, switch off and
unplug the microwave oven at the power outlet. Keep the door closed to stifle any flames.
Do not attempt to operate the microwave
oven by any method other than those described in this instruction book.
Do not disconnect the microwave oven
from the power supply by pulling on the cord to unplug from the power outlet.

USING THE CRISPER PAN
The crisper pan is ideal for crisping up items that can become soggy from microwave reheating such as pies, quiches and pizza and has been optimised to work in conjunction with the Smart Settings.
The crisper pan can be used in either the upper or lower position depending on the size of the food or how much browning is desired.
To reduce risk of injury, or damaging the microwave oven, ensure the crisper pan is placed securely in the centre of the turntable in both the upper and lower position. Avoid placing Pyrex, plates or serving ware on the crisper pan as they may overheat and become damaged.
CAUTION
Surfaces are hot during and after operation. Ensure pan is placed securely in the centre of the turntable. This accessory is only to be used with BMO700.
WARNING
• To avoid an electrical circuit overload, it is recommended that no other appliances are plugged into the same circuit as your microwave oven (or other products) when it is in use.
• Do not install oven over a range cooktop or other heat-producing appliances. 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 or on the door. If there is any damage, do not 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.

HINTS & TIPS
HINTS & TIPS
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 economical on
electricity with savings up to 50%.
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 as plain fish fillets, soft fruit, vegetables and fat free cakes.
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.
SOME IMPORTANT TIPS FOR MICROWAVE 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. Make 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 rectangle dishes which absorb most of the energy in the corners causing food to overcook and toughen.
6. Heat breads, biscuits or oily food on the
crisper pan or paper towel. This prevents the build up of steam between food and glass turntable, keeping surfaces crisp and dry. Cover foods with paper toweling to prevent splatters.
7. Stir foods from the outside to centre of
the dish once or twice during cooking to equalize heat and speed microwaving.
8. Turn medium to large food items over
twice during microwaving. This enables even exposure to microwaves.

CARE & CLEANING
9. 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 to elevate plates of food.
10. Do not elevate any special browning
dishes, jugs of sauce or custard, small quantities of food or mugs of beverages.
11. 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.
Microwave-safe cookware will not become
hot by the microwave energy, but it will become hot from contact with hot food. When the food becomes hot, some of this heat is transferred to the dish. Always use oven mitts or clothes to remove hot dishes from the microwave.
Metal containers and utensils should not
be used in the microwave oven unless provided with BMO700 microwave oven.
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
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 glass turntable in warm soapy water, rinse in clean water and dry thoroughly.
The turntable roller 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 turntable roller may be washed in mild soapy water, rinse in clean water and dry thoroughly. When removing the turntable roller from the cavity floor for cleaning, be sure to replace in the proper position.

CARE & CLEANING
Wash the crisper pan on the top rack of the
dishwasher. Alternatively, wash in warm soapy water, rinse with clean water and dry thoroughly. If required, remove legs by pinching inwards and pulling away from the leg housing.
Remove odours from your microwave oven
by combining a cup of water with the juice of one lemon in a deep microwave­safe bowl, microwave on High 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
programed correctly and the timer is set.
Check to ensure that the door is securely
closed engaging the door safety lock system. Otherwise, the door safety lock system will prevent the microwave from switching on.
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.
