Notes
1. The oven will automatically work on High microwave power if a cooking time is
entered without the power level previously being selected.
2. While cooking, the glass tray may vibrate. This will not affect cooking
performance.
3. For MULTI-STAGE COOKING, refer to page 16.
4. STANDING TIME can be programmed after microwave power and time setting.
Refer to page 18.
5. DO NOT cook with any metal accessory in the oven.
6. Always check the food during defrosting by opening the door then restarting. It
is not necessary to cover food during defrosting. To ensure an even result, stir,
turn or separate several times during defrosting. For large joints and poultry,
turn halfway through defrosting and protect ends and tips with aluminium foil.
Refer to Defrosting guidelines on page 21 for details.
7. When the microwave oven is operated at High microwave power for long time,
the microwave oven automatically adjust the power to protect the components
of the microwave oven.
