Operation
Types of operation
Microwave - Solo mode
Suitable for defrosting, re-heating and
cooking.
Grilling
Ideal for grilling thin cuts of meat, e.g.
steak or sausages.
Combination mode
(Microwave + Grill)
Ideal for browning dishes and dishes
with toppings. The microwave cooks
the food and the grill browns it.
Automatic programmes
There are three automatic defrosting
programmes (
N O M), two automatic
cooking programmes (
c Q)
and two combination programmes
(
8 7).
These programmes are weight depend-
ent. After entering the weight of the
food the cooking time is calculated
automatically.
Microwave-Solo mode
Microwave power settings
There are 7 different microwave power
settings to choose from.
The higher the power setting the more
microwaves reach the food.
When heating up food which cannot be
stirred or turned during cooking, as with
a plated meal, it is preferable to use a
lower microwave power setting. This en-
sures the heat is distributed evenly. Heat
for long enough to reach the temperature
required.
Times for defrosting, re-heating,
cooking
The time required depends on:
– the initial temperature of the food.
Food taken from the refrigerator will
need longer to be reheated or
cooked than food already at room
temperature.
– the type and texture of food.
Fresh vegetables contain more water
and cook more quickly than stored
vegetables.
– the amount of food.
As a general rule, allow approx.
time and a half for double the quan-
tity.
For a smaller quantity, possibly
shorten the time but ensure food is
cooked thoroughly.
– the shape and material of the con-
tainer.
