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.
1. The microwaves generated by the magnetron reflected 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

Auto sensor cooking instructions
The Auto Sensor allows you to cook your food automatically by detecting the amount of gases generated from the food while cooking.
When cooking food, many kinds of gases are generated. The Auto
Sensor determines the proper time and power level by detecting these gases from the food, eliminating the need to set the cooking time and power level.
• When you cover a container with its lid or plastic wrap during Sensor Cooking, the Auto Sensor will detect the gases generated after the container has been saturated with steam.
ENGLISH
• Shortly before cooking ends, the remaining cooking time will begin its count down. This will be a good time for you to rotate or stir the food for even cooking if it is necessary.
• Before auto sensor cooking food may be seasoned with herbs, spices or browning sauces. A word of caution though, salt or sugar may cause burn spots on food so these ingredients should be added after cooking.
• The More/Less function pad is used to increase or decrease cooking time. You should use this function to adjust the degree of cooking to suit your personal taste. Utensils & Cover For Sensor Cooking.
To obtain good cooking results with this function, follow the directions for selecting appropriate containers and covers in the charts in this book.
• Always use microwave-safe containers and cover them with their lids or with plastic wrap. When using plastic wrap, turn back one corner to allow steam to escape at the proper rate.
• Always cover with the lid intended for the utensil being used. If the utensil does not have its own lid, use plastic wrap.
• Fill containers at least half full.
• Foods that require stirring or rotating should be stirred or turned toward the end of the Sensor Cook cycle, after the time has started to count down on the display.
Utensils & Cover for sensor cooking
To obtain good cooking results with this function, follow the directions
for selecting appropriate containers and covers in the charts in this book.
Always use microwave-safe containers and cover them with their lids
or with plastic wrap. When using plastic wrap, turn back one corner to allow steam to escape at the proper rate.
Always cover with the lid intended for the utensil being used. If the
utensil does not have its own lid, use plastic wrap.
Fill containers at least half full.
Foods that require stirring or rotating should be stirred or turned toward
the end of the Sensor Cook cycle, after the time has started to count down on the display.
Important
After installing the oven and plugging into an electrical outlet, do not
unplug the power cord. The gas sensor needs time to stabilize in order to cook satisfactorily.
It its not advisable to use the auto sensor cooking feature on a
continuous cooking operation, i.e. one cooking operation immediately after another.
Install the oven in a well ventilated location for proper cooling and airflow
and to ensure the sensor will operate accurately.
To avoid poor results, do not use the Auto sensor when the room
ambient temperature is too high or too low.
Do not use volatile detergent to clean your oven. Gas resulting from this
detergent may aect the sensor.
Avoid placing the oven near high moisture or gas emitting appliances,
since this will interfere with the proper performance of the Auto Sensor.
Always keep the inside of the oven clean. Wipe all spills with a damp
cloth. This oven is designed for household use only.

CHOOSING THE ACCESSORIES
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.
For further details on suitable cookware and utensils, refer to the Cookware Guide on page 33.
COMBINING MICROWAVES AND THE GRILL
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 eciency. 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 special hints and tips).
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 dierent 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 fresh vegetables
Use a suitable glass pyrex bowl with lid. Add 30-45 ml cold water (2-3 tbsp.) f
or every 250 g unless another water quantity is recommended – see table. Cook covered for the minimum time – see table. Continue cooking to get the result you prefer. Stir once during and once after cooking. Add salt, herbs or butter after cooking. Cover during a standing time of 3 minutes.
Hint: Cut the fresh vegetables into even sized pieces.
The smaller they are cut, the quicker they will cook.
All fresh vegetables should be cooked using full microwave power (900 W).

Cooking Guide for rice and pasta
Rice: Use a large glass pyrex bowl with lid – rice doubles in
volume during cooking. Cook covered. After the cooking time is over, stir before standing time and salt or add herbs and butter. Remark: the rice may not have absorbed all water after the cooking time is finished.
Pasta: Use a large glass pyrex bowl. Add boiling water, a pinch of
salt and stir well. Cook uncovered. Stir occasionally during and after cooking. Cover during standing time and drain thoroughly afterwards.

REHEATING
Your microwave oven will reheat food in a fraction of the time that conventional ovens 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.
ENGLISH
35
Page 36
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
ENGLISH
chapter with the safety precautions.
REHEATING LIQUIDS
Always allow a standing time of at least 20 seconds after the oven has been switched o 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.

GRILL
The grill-heating elements are located underneath the ceiling of the cavity. It operates while the door is closed and the turntable is rotating. The turntable’s rotation makes the food brown more evenly. Preheating the grill for 2-3 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.

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: 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:
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.
