About microwave energy
Microwaves are high-frequency electromagnetic waves. The oven uses the prebuilt
magnetron to generate microwaves which are used to cook or reheat food without deforming
or discolouring the food.
1. The microwaves generated by the
magnetron are distributed uniformly
through the whirling distribution system.
This is why the food is cooked evenly.
2. The microwaves are absorbed down to
the food up to a depth of approx. 2.5 cm.
Then, the microwaves are dissipated
inside the food as cooking continues.
3. The cooking time is affected by the
following conditions of the food.
• Quantity and density
• Moisture content
• Initial temperature (especially, when
frozen)
NOTE
The cooked food keeps heat in its core after
cooking is complete. This is why you must
respect the standing time specied in this
manual, which ensures cooking evenly down
to the core.

Reheating
• Do not reheat large-sized foods such as joints of meat, which easily overcook.
• It is safer to reheat foods at lower power levels.
• Stir well or turn over during and after cooking.
• Use caution for liquids or baby foods. Stir well before, during, and after cooking with a
plastic spoon or glass stirring stick to prevent eruptive boiling and scalding. Keep them
inside the oven during the standing time. Allow a longer reheating time than other food
types.
• Recommended standing time after reheating is 2-4 minutes. See the table below for

Hot blast guide
Cooking with hot blast is a powerful combination of the inner grill heater and the convection
ring heater with fan at side. The hot air blows from the top of the cavity through holes into
the oven. The heating element at top and side and the fan at the side-wall, keeps the hot air
circulating evenly.
Use this mode for biscuits, individual scones, rolls, and cakes as well as fruit cakes, choux,
and soufés.
All conventional ovenproof cookware, baking tins and sheets – anything you would normally
use in a traditional convection oven – can be used.

Convection
In Convection mode, both the heating element and the side-wall fan operate together to
circulate the heat inside the cooking chamber. Use this mode for biscuits, individual scones,

cookware, baking tins and sheets – anything you would normally use in a traditional
convection oven – can be used.
Microwaves+Convection
This combination mode combines the microwave energy with hot air, resulting in reduced
cooking time and producing a brown, crispy surface of the food. The oven offers 5 different
combination modes for your convenience. Use this for all kinds of meat and poultry as well
as casseroles and gratin dishes, sponge cakes and light fruit cakes, pies and crumbles, roast
vegetables, scones, and breads. Use only ovenproof cookware, such as glasses, potteries, or
bone china without metal trim.
