Congratulations on acquiring your new microwave oven, which from now on will make your kitchen chores 
considerably easier.
You will be pleasantly surprised by the kinds of things you can do with your combined microwave oven. 
Not only can you use it for rapid defrosting or heating up of food, you can also prepare whole meals. The 
combination of microwave, hot air convection and grill means that food can cook and brown at the same time, 
and much faster, than by using the conventional method.
In our test kitchen our microwave team has gathered together a selection of the most delicious international 
recipes which are quick and simple to prepare.
Be inspired by the recipes we have included and prepare your own favourite dishes in your microwave oven.
There are so many advantages to having a microwave oven which we are sure you will find exciting:
●  Food can be prepared directly in the serving dishes, leaving less to wash up.
●  Shorter cooking times and the use of little water and fat ensure that many vitamins, minerals and 
  characteristic flavours are preserved.
We advise you to read the cookery book guide and operating instructions carefully.
You will then easily understand how to use your oven.
Enjoy using your combined microwave oven and trying out the delicious recipes.
Your Microwave-Team.Dear Customer,

turned off.
2.  Take care when microwaving liquids. Use a 
widemouthed container to allow bubbles to escape.
Never heat liquids in narrow necked 
containers such as baby bottles, as this 
may result in the contents erupting from 
the container when heated and cause 
burns.
  To prevent sudden eruption of boiling liquid and 
possible scalding:
 1.  Do not use excessive amount of time (See page 
GB-39).
 2. Stir liquid prior to heating/reheating.
 3.  It is advisable to insert a glass rod or similar 
utensil (not metal) into the liquid whilst 
reheating.
 4.  Let liquid stand for at least 20 seconds in the 
oven at the end of cooking time to prevent 
delayed eruptive boiling. 
3.  Pierce the skin of such foods as potatoes, sausages 
and fruit before cooking, or they may explode.

MICROWAVE POWER LEVELS
Generally the following recommendations apply:
100 P/90 P - (HIGH output = 1050/945 W) used for fast 
cooking or reheating e.g. for casseroles, hot beverages, 
vegetables etc.
80 P/70 P - (MEDIUM HIGH output = 840/735 W) used 
for longer cooking of dense foods such as roast joints, 
meat loaf and plated meals, also for sensitive didhes such 
as sponge cakes. At this reduced setting, the food will 
cook evenly without over cooking at the sides.60 P/50 P - (MEDIUM output = 630/525 W) for 
dense foods which require a long cooking time 
when cooked conventionally, e.g. beef casserole, it 
is advisable to use this power setting to ensure the 
meat will be tender.
40 P/30 P - (MEDIUM LOW output = 420/315 W 
defrost setting) to defrost, select this power setting, 
to ensure that the dish defrosts evenly. This setting is 
also ideal for simmering rice, pasta, dumplings and 
cooking egg custard.
20 P/10 P - (LOW output = 210/105 W) For gentle 
defrosting, e.g. cream gateaux or pastry.
