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.

Before you start
Cookware for microwave
Cookware used for Microwave Mode must allow microwaves to pass through and penetrate
food. Metals such as stainless steel, aluminum and copper reect microwaves. Therefore, do
not use cookware made of metallic materials. Cookware marked microwave - safe is always
safe for use. For additional information on appropriate cookware refer to the following guide
and place a glass of water or some food on the turntable.
Requirements:
• Flat bottom and straight sides
• Tight-tting lid
• Well-balanced pan with handles that weigh less than the main pan
Material Microwave-

Aluminium foil
Use for a small serving size to protect
against overcooking. Arcing can occur
if the foil is near the oven wall or if
using an excessive amount of foil.
Crusty plate Do not use for preheating for more

Convection guide
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,
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.
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.
