Congratulations on acquiring your new microwave oven, which from now on will make your kitchen chores considerably easier. You will be pleasantly surprised by the kinds of things you can do with your combined microwave oven. Not only can you use it for rapid defrosting or heating up of food, you can also prepare whole meals. The combination of microwave, hot air convection and grill means that food can cook and brown at the same time, and much faster, than by using the conventional method. In our test kitchen our microwave team has gathered together a selection of the most delicious international recipes which are quick and simple to prepare. Be inspired by the recipes we have included and prepare your own favourite dishes in your microwave oven. There are so many advantages to having a microwave oven which we are sure you will find exciting:

● Food can be prepared directly in the serving dishes, leaving less to wash up.

● Shorter cooking times and the use of little water and fat ensure that many vitamins, minerals and

characteristic flavours are preserved. We advise you to read the cookery book guide and operating instructions carefully. You will then easily understand how to use your oven.

Enjoy using your combined microwave oven and trying out the delicious recipes.
