Microwave operation

Plus & minus

The PLUS        and MINUS       function enables you to decrease or
increase the cooking time when using the automatic programmes.

If you prefer boiled potatoes which are cooked but still firm, use MINUS      .
Alternatively, if you prefer boiled potatoes softer, use PLUS       .

Example:

To cook 0.3 kg of boiled potatoes, well done.

1. Select the menu required by pressing the AUTO COOK button twice.

2. Turn the TIMER/WEIGHT knob until 0.3 kg is displayed.

3. Press the power button once to select the PLUS       adjustment.

4. Press the START/QUICK button. 

5. Check the display:

Note: 

To cancel PLUS/MINUS, press the power level key 3 times.
If you select PLUS the display will show        .
If you select MINUS, the display will show      .

Grill & dual grill cooking

The microwave oven has two GRILL cooking modes:
1. Grill only.
2. Dual grill (grill with microwave).

Important:

1. The rack is recommended for grilling.
2. You may detect smoke or a burning smell when using the grill for the first 

time, this is normal and does not indicate a fault with the oven. To avoid    

this problem, when using the oven for the first time, operate the grill 

without food for 20 minutes.
