AUTOMATIC OPERATIONS

1.  When using the automatic features, carefully follow the instructions provided in each MENU GUIDE to achieve the best 

result.

 

If the instructions are not followed carefully, the food may be overcooked or undercooked or Err may be displayed.

2.  Food weighing more or less than the quantity or weight listed in each MENU GUIDE, cook manually. Refer to manual 

cooking charts in RECIPES section.

3.  To change the fi nal cooking or defrosting result from the standard setting, press the POWER LEVEL pad once (for more) 

or twice (for less) after selecting desired setting. Refer to page 13.

4. The final cooking result will vary according to the food condition (e.g. initial temperature, shape, quality). 

Check the food after cooking and if necessary continue cooking manually.

5.  To avoid children's misuse, each INSTANT ACTION pad can be used only within 3 minutes of a preceding operation.
6.  To defrost foods above or below the weights allowed on the EXPRESS DEFROST MENU GUIDE, use EASY DEFROST 

or defrost manually.

7.  Err will be displayed if:
 

more or less than weight of foods suggested in EASY DEFROST MENU GUIDE is programmed when the INSTANT 
COOK/START pad is pressed.

 

To clear, press the STOP/CLEAR pad and reprogramme.

8.  When entering the weight of the food, round off the weight to the nearest 0.1kg(100g). For example, 1.35kg would become
