When heating up foods that cannot be
stirred or turned during cooking, or
foods with very different consistencies,
it is best to use a lower microwave
power level.
This ensures the heat is distributed
evenly. Heat for long enough to cook
the food properly.
^ Set the required time using the
selector knob.
You can choose any length of time
between 10 seconds and 90 minutes.
Exception: If the maximum power level
is selected, you can set a time of up to
15 minutes. If you continue to cook at
full power, the machine will
automatically decrease to a 600 W
power level to protect from overheating
(indicated in the display).
The time required depends on:
–
The initial temperature of the food.
Food taken from the refrigerator will
need longer to reheat, cook, etc.
than food already at room
temperature.
–
The type and texture of the food.
Fresh vegetables contain more water
and cook more quickly than stored
vegetables.
–
The frequency with which the food is
stirred or turned.
Frequent stirring or turning heats the
food more evenly, and it is therefore
ready in less time.
–
The amount of food.
As a general rule:
Double the quantity = nearly twice
the time
For a smaller quantity of food, the
cook time decreases proportionately.
–
The shape and material of the
dishware.
^ Press the Start button to start the
program.
The interior lighting comes on.
A program can only be started if the
door is closed.
"Door" message
The "Door" message in the display is a
reminder that the appliance cannot be
used without food inside it.
Operating the microwave without
food can damage the appliance.
If the door has been closed for 20
minutes or longer when the Start button
is pressed, the word door will appear in
the display to remind you to open the
door and make sure there is food in the
appliance before you press Start. You
cannot start a program until you do this.
