Using the microwave oven 

 

Please note: 'End' will be displayed and 4 beeps will be heard every 2 minutes 

until the oven door is opened or the 'Stop/Cancel' button is pressed.

 

 

Quick start cooking

 

This program allows you to cook food at 100% power between 30 seconds and 
12 minutes by pressing the 'Time/Menu'  knob directly. For example if you want 
to cook food for 2 minutes.

 

 

1. Place the food in a container suitable for use with microwave ovens and 

put it into the microwave oven.

 

 

2. To set the time (2 minutes), press the 'Time/Menu' knob 4 times. The 

microwave oven will automatically  start to cook your food.

 

 

3. When the food has finished cooking the oven will beep 4 times to let you 

know and the word 'End' will be displayed.

 

 

Please note: 'End' will be displayed and 4 beeps will be heard every 2 minutes 

until the oven door is opened or the 'Stop/Cancel' button is pressed.

 

 

Weight defrost

 

 

Weight defrost allows you to set the food weight and let the oven decide how 
long the food will take to defrost. You can defrost foods between 100g and 1800g.

 

The steps are as follows:

 

 

1. Place the food in a container suitable for use with microwave ovens and 

put it into the microwave oven.

 

 

2. Press the 'Weight Defrost' button. The display will show, '100g'. The 'Auto' 

and 'Defrost' symbol will light up and 'Power level' symbol will flash.

 

 

3. Turn the 'Time/Menu'  knob clockwise to choose the weight.  For example, 

if the food weighs 400g, set the display to show '400g'.

 

 

4. Press the 'Time/Menu'  knob. The 'Auto' and defrost symbols will stay lit 

and the oven will now start to defrost the food.

 

 

Note: 2/3 through the defrosting time the oven will beep and pause. This is to allow 

you to turn over the food for even defrosting. Turn over or rearrange the food and 
press the 'Time.Menu'  knob to resume defrosting. To defrost fatty meat,  defrost 
intermittently  until defrosted. Ice should be removed at all times.
