How a Microwave Oven Works
Microwaves are high-frequency electromagnetic waves; the energy
released enables food to be cooked or reheated without changing either the
form or the colour.
You can use your microwave oven to:
• Defrost
• Reheat
•Cook
Cooking Principle
The microwaves generated by the magnetron reflected
1.
at cavity and are distributed uniformly as the food
rotates on the turntable. The food is thus cooked
evenly.
2. The microwaves are absorbed by the food up to a
depth of about 1 inch (2.5 cm). Cooking then
continues as the heat is dissipated within the food.
3. Cooking times vary according to the container used
and the properties of the food:
• Quantity and density
• Water content
• Initial temperature (refrigerated or not)
As the centre of the food is cooked by heat dissipation, cooking
continues even when you have taken the food out of the oven.
Standing times specified in recipes and in this booklet must therefore
be respected to ensure:
• Even cooking of the food right to the centre
• The same temperature throughout the food
What to Do if You are in Doubt or You have a
Problem
EN
Becoming familiar with a new appliance always takes a little time. If you
have any of the problems listed below, try the solutions given. They may
save you the time and inconvenience of an unnecessary service call.
The following are normal occurrences.
• Condensation inside the oven
• Air flow around the door and outer casing
• Light reflection around the door and outer casing
• Steam escaping from around the door or vents
The food is not cooked at all
• Have you set the timer correctly and pressed the Start ( ) button?
• Is the door closed?
• Have you overloaded the electric circuit and caused a fuse to blow or a
breaker to be triggered.
The food is either overcooked or undercooked
• Was the appropriate cooking length set for the type of food?
• Was an appropriate power level chosen?
Sparking and cracking occur inside the oven (arcing)
• Have you used a dish with metal trimmings?
• Have you left a fork or other metal utensil inside the oven?
• Is aluminium foil too close to the inside walls?
The oven causes interference with radios or televisions
• Slight interference may be observed on televisions or radios when the
oven is operating. This is normal.
* Solution: Install the oven away from televisions, radios and aerials.
• If interference is detected by the oven’s microprocessor, the display may
be reset.
* Solution: Disconnect the power plug and reconnect it. Reset the time.
“E - 24" message indicates
• The "E - 24" message is automatically activated prior to the microwave
oven overheating. Should the "E - 24" message be activated, then
depress the "Stop/Cancel" key to utilize the initialization mode.

Choosing the Accessories
Combining Microwaves and the Grill
Traditional convection cooking does require cookware.
You should, however, use only cookware that you would
use in your normal oven.
Microwave-safe containers are not usually suitable for
convection cooking; don’t use plastic containers, dishes,
paper cups, towels, etc.
If you wish to select a combined cooking mode
(microwave and grill or convection), use only recipients
that are microwave-safe and oven-proof. Metallic
cookware or utensils may damage your oven.
For further details on suitable cookware and utensils, refer to the
Cookware Guide on page 18.
You can also combine microwave cooking with the grill, to cook quickly
and brown at the same time.
ALWAYS use microwave-safe and oven-proof cookware. Glass or
ceramic dishes are ideal as they allow the microwaves to penetrate
the food evenly.
ALWAYS use oven gloves when touching the recipients in the oven,
as they will be very hot.
You can improve cooking and grilling, if you use the high rack.

Cooking Guide
MICROWAVES
Microwave energy actually penetrates food, attracted and absorbed by its water, fat
and sugar content.
The microwaves cause the molecules in the food to move rapidly. The rapid movement
of these molecules creates friction and the resulting heat cooks the food.
COOKING
Cookware for microwave cooking:
Cookware must allow microwave energy to pass through it for maximum efficiency.
Microwaves are reflected by metal, such as stainless steel, aluminium and copper, but
they can penetrate through ceramic, glass, porcelain and plastic as well as paper and
wood. So food must never be cooked in metal containers.
Food suitable for microwave cooking:
Many kinds of food are suitable for microwave cooking, including fresh or frozen
vegetables, fruit, pasta, rice, grains, beans, fish, and meat. Sauces, custard, soups,
steamed puddings, preserves, and chutneys can also be cooked in a microwave oven.
Generally speaking, microwave cooking is ideal for any food that would normally be
prepared on a hob. Melting butter or chocolate, for example (see the chapter with tips,
techniques and hints).
Covering during cooking
To cover the food during cooking is very important, as the evaporated water rises as
steam and contributes to cooking process. Food can be covered in different ways: e.g.
with a ceramic plate, plastic cover or microwave suitable cling film.
Standing times
After cooking is over food the standing time is important to allow the temperature to
even out within the food.
Cooking Guide for frozen vegetables
Use a suitable glass pyrex bowl with lid. Cook covered for the minimum time - see
table. Continue cooking to get the result you prefer.
Stir twice during cooking and once after cooking. Add salt, herbs or butter after
cooking. Cover during standing time.

Cooking Guide (continued)
REHEATING
Your microwave oven will reheat food in a fraction of the time that conventional ovens
and hobs normally take.
Use the power levels and reheating times in the following chart as a guide. The times in
the chart consider liquids with a room temperature of about +18 to +20 °C or a chilled
food with a temperature of about +5 to +7 °C.
Arranging and covering
Avoid reheating large items such as joint of meat - they tend to overcook and dry out
before the centre is piping hot. Reheating small pieces will be more successful.
Power levels and stirring
Some foods can be reheated using 900 W power while others should be reheated
using 600 W, 450 W or even 300 W.
Check the tables for guidance.
In general, it is better to reheat food using a lower power level, if the food is delicate, in
large quantities, or if it is likely to heat up very quickly (mince pies, for example).
Stir well or turn food over during reheating for best results. When possible, stir again
before serving.
Take particular care when heating liquids and baby foods. To prevent eruptive boiling
of liquids and possible scalding, stir before, during and after heating. Keep them in the
microwave oven during standing time. We recommend putting a plastic spoon or glass
stick into the liquids. Avoid overheating (and therefore spoiling) the food. It is preferable
to underestimate cooking time and add extra heating time, if necessary.
Heating and standing times
When reheating food for the first time, it is helpful to make a note of the time taken - for
future reference.
Always make sure that the reheated food is piping hot throughout.
Allow food to stand for a short time after reheating - to let the temperature even out.
The recommended standing time after reheating is 2-4 minutes, unless another time is
recommended in the chart.
Take particular care when heating liquids and baby food. See also the chapter with the
safety precautions.
REHEATING LIQUIDS
Always allow a standing time of at least 20 seconds after the oven has been switched
off to allow the temperature to even out. Stir during heating, if necessary, and ALWAYS
stir after heating. To prevent eruptive boiling and possible scalding, you should put a
spoon or glass stick into the beverages and stir before, during and after heating.
REHEATING BABY FOOD
BABY FOOD
Empty into a deep ceramic plate. Cover with plastic lid. Stir well after reheating! Let
stand for 2-3 minutes before serving. Stir again and check the temperature.
Recommended serving temperature: between 30-40 °C.
BABY MILK
Pour milk into a sterilised glass bottle. Reheat uncovered. Never heat a baby’s bottle
with teat on, as the bottle may explode if overheated. Shake well before standing time
and again before serving! Always carefully check the temperature of baby milk or food
before giving it to the baby. Recommended serving temperature: ca. 37 °C.
REMARK:
Baby food particularly needs to be checked carefully before serving to prevent burns.
Use the power levels and times in the next table as a guide lines for reheating.

DEFROSTING
Microwaves are an excellent way of defrosting frozen food. Microwaves gently defrost
frozen food in a short period of time. This can be of great advantage, if unexpected
guests suddenly show up.
Frozen poultry must be thoroughly thawed before cooking. Remove any metal ties and
take it out of any wrapping to allow thawed liquid to drain away.
Put the frozen food on a dish without cover. Turn over half way, drain off any liquid and
remove any giblets as soon as possible. Check the food occasionally to make sure that
it does not feel warm.
If smaller and thinner parts of the frozen food start to warm up, they can be shield by
wrapping very small strips of aluminium foil around them during defrosting.
Should poultry start to warm up on the outer surface, stop thawing and allow it to stand
for 20 minutes before continuing.
Leave the fish, meat and poultry to stand in order to complete defrosting. The standing
time for complete defrosting will vary depending on the quantity defrosted. Please refer
to the table below.
Hint: Flat food defrosts better than thick and smaller quantities need less
time than bigger ones. Remember this hint while freezing and
defrosting food.
For defrosting of frozen food with a temperature of about -18 to -20 °C, use the
following table as a guide.
All frozen food should be defrosted using defrosting power level (180 W).

GRILL
EN
The grill-heating element is located underneath the ceiling of the cavity. They operate
while the door is closed and the turntable is rotating. The turntable’s rotation makes the
food brown more evenly. Preheating the grill for 4 minutes will make the food brown
more quickly.
Cookware for grilling:
Should be flameproof and may include metal. Do not use any type of plastic cookware,
as it can melt.
Food suitable for grilling:
Chops, sausages, steaks, hamburgers, bacon and gammon rashers, thin fish portions,
sandwiches and all kinds of toast with toppings.
IMPORTANT REMARK:
Whenever the grill only mode is used, please remember that food must be placed on
the high rack, unless another instruction is recommended.
MICROWAVE + GRILL
This cooking mode combines the radiant heat that is coming from the grill with the
speed of microwave cooking. It operates only while the door is closed and the turntable
is rotating. Due to the rotation of the turntable, the food browns evenly. Three
combination modes are available with this model:
600 W + Grill, 450 W + Grill and 300 W + Grill.
Cookware for cooking with microwaves + grill
Please use cookware that microwaves can pass through. Cookware should be
flameproof. Do not use metal cookware with combination mode. Do not use any type of
plastic cookware, as it can melt.
Food suitable for microwaves + grill cooking:
Food suitable for combination mode cooking include all kinds of cooked food which
need reheating and browning (e.g. baked pasta), as well as foods which require a short
cooking time to brown the top of the food. Also, this mode can be used for thick food
portions that benefit from a browned and crispy top (e.g. chicken pieces, turning them
over half way through cooking). Please refer to the grill table for further details.
IMPORTANT REMARK:
Whenever the combination mode (microwave + grill) is used, the food should be placed
on the high rack, unless another instruction is recommended. Otherwise it has to be
placed directly on the turntable. Please refer to the instructions in the following chart.
The food must be turned over, if it is to be browned on both sides.

CONVECTION
Cooking with convection is the traditional and well known method of cooking food in a
traditional oven with hot air.
The heating element and the fan position is at the back-wall, so that the hot air is
circulating.
Cookware for convection cooking:
All conventional ovenproof cookware, baking tins and sheets – anything you would
normally use in a traditional convection oven – can be used.
Food suitable for convection cooking:
All biscuits, individual scones, rolls and cakes should be made by this mode as well as
rich fruit cakes, choux pastry and soufflés.
MICROWAVES +CONVECTION
This mode combines the microwave energy with the hot air and is therefore reducing
the cooking time while giving the food a brown and crispy surface.
Cooking with convection is the traditional and well known method of cooking food in an
oven with hot air circulated by a fan on the back-wall.
Cookware for cooking with microwaves + convection:
Should be able to let the microwaves pass through. Should be ovenproof (like glass,
pottery or china without metal trims); similar to the cookware described under MW +
Grill.
Food suitable for microwave + convection cooking:
All kinds of meats and poultry as well as casseroles and gratin dishes, sponge cakes
and light fruit cakes, pies and crumbles, roast vegetables, scones and breads.
