DEFROSTING GUIDE
This guide is designed to make defrosting specifi c foods easier.
It can be used for defrosting: Chicken portions, chops, fi sh (whole or fi llets), minced meat and sausages.
Example: To defrost 0.4 kg of chicken portions:
1. Place chicken portions in a fla t dish, and place on the turntable into the oven.
2.
Turn the
MICROWAVE POWER CONTROL
knob to DEFROST setting (MEDIUM LOW).
3. Turn the TIMER/ DEFROST GUIDE to 0.4 kg setting. The oven will start immediately. Turn the chicken
potions over 1-2 times during defrosting.
4.
After defrosting, cover the food in foil and leave to stand until thoroughly defrosted.
Note:
The defrosting time is based on standard conditions. Please check the defrosting result and, if necessary,
adjust the defrosting times accordingly.
To cook/defrost food in a microwave oven, the microwave energy must be able to pass through the container to
penetrate the food. Therefore it is important to choose suitable cookware.
Round/oval dishes are preferable to square/oblong ones, as the food in the corners tends to overcook. A variety
of cookware can be used as listed below.

GRILL COOKING/MIX GRILL COOKING
1. GRILL ONLY COOKING
The grill at the top of the oven cavity has one power setting only. The grill is assisted by the turntable which
ro-tates simultaneously to ensure even browning. Use the rack for grilling small items of food such as bacon,
gam-mon and teacakes. Food can be placed either directly onto the rack, or into a fl an dish/heat-resistant
plate on the rack.
2. MIX GRILL COOKING
MIX GRILL
combines microwave power with the grill. MIX means to cook by Microwave power and Grill power
alternately.
The combination of microwave power with the grill reduces cooking time and provides a crisp, brown fi nish.
There are 3 choices for the combination:
NOTES for GRILL and MIX GRILL COOKING:
• It is not necessary to preheat the grill.
• When browning foods in a deep container, place on the turntable.
• You may detect smoke or a burning smell when using the grill for the fi rst time. This is normal and not a
sign that the oven is faulty To avoid this problem, when fi rst using the oven, heat the oven without food for 20
minutes on grill.
IMPORTANT:
During operation, to allow smoke or smells to disperse open a window or switch the kitchen
ventilation on.
WARNING:
The door, outer cabinet, oven cavity and accessories will become very hot during operation. To
prevent burns, always use thick oven gloves.
