Operation
Microwave-Solo mode
There is a choice of up to 9 different
microwave power settings.
The higher the power setting, the more
microwaves reach the food.
When heating up food of differing com-
position, or which cannot be stirred or
turned during cooking, as with a plated
meal, it is preferable to heat these on a
lower power setting. This ensures that
the heat is distributed evenly. Heat for
long enough to reach the temperature
required.
Times for defrosting, reheating and
cooking
The necessary time depends on:
– the initial temperature of the food.
Food taken from the refrigerator will
need longer to be reheated or
cooked than food already at room
temperature.
– the type, texture and consistency of
the food.
Fresh vegetables usually contain
more water and cook more quickly
than stored vegetables.
– the shape and material of the container.
– the amount of food.
In general:
As a general rule double quantity –
approx. time and a half.
Smaller quantity, possibly shorter
time but ensure food is cooked thor-
oughly.
Ideally the container should be
placed in the centre of the oven.

The time entered begins to count
down in seconds in the display area.
At the end of the cooking time an
audible tone sounds. The time of day
reappears in the display area.

audible tone.
To achieve good results it is essen-
tial that the appliance is cool. If the
oven interior temperature is too high
the fault message "E" appears in the
display area. If this happens allow
the appliance to cool down with the
door open for about 15 to 20
minutes. Press the C touchpad and
then enter the settings again.
