If the water level drops below
–
MIN during cooking the system will tem -
porarily switch off and start to beep and the steam cooking symbol will
begin to flash in order to remind the user to pour water. This function
works with a time delay in order to avoid getting burned with hot steam.

the water level indicator rises and press START (7) . The oven will cook
for the remaining amount of the set time.
While steam cooking the steam may escape through the ventilation
–
openings on the top of the container and after cooking the excess of
steam may remain inside the oven. A small amount of water drops may
collect on the bottom of the door. Slowly open the door so that the wa -
ter drops don’t get spilled outside.
If steam cooking exceeds 30 minutes, the trough under the door should
–
be emptied of water.

5. Defrosting according to weight
Defrosting according to weight allows setting the weight of the food and
the system decides how much time it needs to defrost.
In order to do so:
Press the
–
DEFROST/CLOCK (5) button – icons 1S , , and 100g
will be displayed.
Turn the
–
knob (7) to set the weight (100g-1800g).
Press
–
START (7) to start defrosting.
You can use the oil drip pan (8) – page 3.
–
ATTENTION:
If you want to completely defrost food in the microwave oven, the de -
–
frosting process may be uneven due to the differences in the thickness
or the shape of the food. Dripping may occur; sometimes a part of
the food may start to cook although the rest of it remains frozen. The
food should not be completely defrosted, 70% is enough to prepare for
cooking.
Defrost in stages and turn the food while defrosting.
–
To defrost fat meat, heat for a short period of time in the oven and leave
–
in room temperature or heat with breaks until the food is completely
defrosted.
While defrosting a whole chicken or food of an uneven shape, cover the
–
legs or the thin parts with aluminum foil. Otherwise the thin parts will
defrost faster and may be cooked before the remaining parts defrost. In
case of large portions of meat cover the sides with aluminum foil so that
they are only defrosted by vertical microwaves.
While defrosting, remove the ice every once in a while.

6. The halogen grill and combination – grill and microwaves
– light wave system
The unique light wave system in Poland is based on:
The halogen grill.
–
Special microwave dispersion.
–
Specially designed chamber.
–
The grill has a wave emitter which is situated in the upper part of the oven
chamber. It distributes millions of light rays which are evenly dispersed to
various sides and which are reflected inside the specially designed cham -
ber. The bottom of the oven is covered with ceramics through which the
microwaves get through. The oven does not have a turntable because it is
not necessary. Due to such a construction the microwaves get through to
all parts of the food without the need of turning it.
Advantages:
The speed of heating – 30% faster than in a standard microwave oven.
–
Fast temperature increase – the temperature in the oven with the light
–
wave system reaches 100 degrees in 10 sec. (versus standard oven 80
degrees during the same amount of time).
Retains 98% of the original nutrition elements (standard oven 90%).
–
Ensures even cooking thanks to combining the microwaves with the
–
light wave system
GRILL – LIGHT WAVE
While using the halogen grill the source of heat comes from the halogen
lamp. It is an appropriate mode to cook thin slices of meat, beef sirloin and
sausages, etc.
ATTENTION: While using this mode always use the oil drip pan (8)

Cover food with aluminum foil while cooking/heating. The food will not
–
be dried out and will not splash out/spill out.
