900W

Model R-82STM has a microwave output power of
900 Watts; heating category D.

The heating category (a letter A to E) was
developed by MAFF (Ministry of Agriculture,
Fisheries and Food) with microwave oven and food
manufacturers and indicates the ability of the oven
to heat small quantities of food (up to 500g [1lb
2oz]). It does not represent the general
performance of the oven.

The higher the output power and heating category
of the oven the less heating time is required. 
As shown opposite.

To operate the microwave function:
• Enter the required cooking/defrosting time. 
• Select the power level by pressing the

MICROWAVE POWER LEVEL key.
There are 5 microwave power levels (see below).

• Press START/AUTO MINUTE key.

IMPORTANT:
The microwave power level will default to 100% (HIGH)
unless you press the MICROWAVE POWER LEVEL
button to the desired setting. To help you decide which
power level is suitable, refer to the charts in the Cookery
Book section.

NOTES:
• To check the microwave power level during

cooking/defrosting press the MICROWAVE
POWER LEVEL key. The power level will be
displayed as long as the key is pressed. This does
not affect the programme or cooking time.

• Power level: The microwave power level is

varied by the microwave energy switching on 
and off. When using the power levels other than
100% (HIGH) you will be able to hear the
microwave energy pulsing on and off as the food
cooks or defrosts.

Opening and closing the door:
• To open the oven door, press the door opening

button. 

• The oven lamp will light when the door is open.
• Close the door firmly and the lamp will go out.

Always operate the oven with the turntable and support
fitted correctly, see page 2. This promotes thorough
even cooking.

• A badly fitted turntable may rattle, may not rotate 

properly and damage the oven.

• The turntable rotates clockwise or counter-clockwise.

The rotary direction may change each time you start
the oven. This does not affect cooking performance.

1. Enter the heating

time by pressing
the 10 SEC key
three times.

2. Press the MICROWAVE

POWER LEVEL key once
for HIGH (100%).

3. Press the START/AUTO

MINUTE key once to start
cooking.

Display will count
down through the
heating time.

Water, sugar and fat in food absorb microwaves and
causes their molecules to vibrate. This creates heat by
friction, in the same way your hands get warm when
you rub them together.  
The outer areas of  food are heated by microwave
energy and the remaining portions by conduction.  It is
important to turn, rearrange or stir food to ensure
even heating.  Where recommended, allow food to
stand, this is not optional but is necessary to ensure
thorough cooking. It is particularly important for dense
food, such as joints of meat.

NOTES:
• Microwaves pass through non-metallic dishes and

utensils and heat the food inside the dishes. 

• Microwaves are reflected by metal. 
• The oven is lined with metal and has a fine metallic

mesh in the door to prevent microwave leakage.

• Metallic dishes are not suitable for microwaving. 
• See SUITABLE COOKWARE, page 26-27.

NOTES:
• Your oven can be programmed up to 99 minutes, 90 seconds (99.90). 
• When the door is opened during cooking, the cooking time on the display stops. The cooking time starts to count

down again when the door is closed and the START/AUTO MINUTE key is pressed.

• When oven operation is finished, the time of day will reappear on the display, if set.

EXAMPLE:
To cook on HIGH (100%) power for 30 seconds.

To defrost foods not included in the Auto Defrost menu, use microwave power levels
MEDIUM LOW (30%)  or LOW (10% ). Stir or turn food at least 2-3 times during
defrosting.  After defrosting, wrap in aluminium foil and leave to stand until thoroughly
defrosted.  Refer to the defrosting charts in the Cookery Book, page 32.

EXAMPLE:
To cook at 200°C for 20 minutes.

The oven cavity, door, outer cabinet, air-vent openings, turntable, turntable support, splash guard, racks, dishes
and especially bottom grill heater will become very hot,  use thick oven gloves when removing the food or
turntable from the oven to prevent burns.

2. Enter the desired

temperature 200°C

by pressing the 

TEMPERATURE key

four times.

1. Enter the time by

pressing the
10 MIN key twice.

3. Press the START/AUTO

MINUTE key to start.

NOTES:
• Once the oven has started you can find out the temperature you have programmed by pressing the

CONVECTION TEMPERATURE key. The temperature will appear on the display. This will not affect
the programme or cooking time.

• After cooking is complete the cooling fan will continue working for a short time to lower the temperature

of the electrical and mechanical components.

• Recipes requiring a browned or crispy underside (ie; pies, pizza and bread), should be placed directly

on the turntable.

• Small food items such as pastries or biscuits should be cooked on the low rack so as to avoid browning

too quickly.

• Joints of meat/poultry should be cooked on the low rack with the splash guard fitted on top of the turntable.
• After cooking the display may show “NOW COOLING”.

Display will count
down through the
time.

Your oven can be programmed to cook
with ten different temperatures by
combining the top and bottom grills
with the convection fan.

The temperatures available in degrees Centigrade are:
250°C, 230°C, 220°C, 200°C, 180°C, 
160°C, 130°C, 100°C,  70°C, 40°C.

NOTES:
• CONVECTION cooking is ideal for cooking Victoria sandwich cakes, buns, biscuits and scones. See recipes

pages 54-57.

• When using the CONVECTION facility, all metal cookware can be used. See SUITABLE COOKWARE

pages 26-27.  To achieve the best results when cooking by CONVECTION, always use the low metal rack
for one layer cooking, and the high rack and low rack for two layer cooking.

• Temperature measurements taken whilst the oven is in convection mode will differ slightly from the displayed

level.  This is due to the grill elements turning on and off in order to regulate the oven temperature.  This will
not affect the cooking results as long as the operation manual and cook book are followed properly.
