2. Enter the hours, by pressing
the 10 MIN key once and
the 1 MIN key twice.
Check the display.
4. Enter the minutes by pressing
the 10 MIN key three times
and the 1MIN key five times.
5. Press the AUTO START/
CLOCK key again to set the
clock.
NOTES:
• Once the time of day is set, you need only reset
when the clocks change, if there is a power cut or

MICROWAVE POWER LEVELS
The heating category (a letter A to E) developed by
MAFF (Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food)
with microwave oven and food manufacturers
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.
Food packs carry cooking instructions for heating
categories A to E.  Follow instructions for the letter
corresponding to the oven’s heating category. The
higher the output power and heating category of the
oven the less heating time is required. As shown
opposite.
Power level: The microwave power level is varied
by the microwave energy switching on and off.
When using 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. 
IMPORTANT:
The microwave power level will default to 100%
(HIGH) unless you press the MICROWAVE POWER
LEVEL 
button to the desired setting.
Your oven has 5 power levels. To choose the power
level for cooking, follow the advice given in the
recipe section. Generally the following
recommendations apply:
HIGH - (100% output = 900W) used for fast
cooking or reheating e.g. for casseroles, hot
beverages, vegetables etc.
MEDIUM HIGH - (70% output = 630W) used for
longer cooking of dense foods such as roast joints,
meat loaf and plated meals, also for sensitive dishes
such as cheese sauce and sponge cakes. At this
reduced setting, the sauce will not boil over and
food will cook evenly without over cooking at the
sides.
MEDIUM - (50% output = 450W) for dense foods
which require a long cooking time when cooked
conventionally, eg. beef dishes, it is advisable to use
this power setting to ensure the meat will be tender.
MEDIUM LOW - (30% output = 270W 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.
LOW - (10% output = 90W) For gentle defrosting,
eg. cream gateaux or pastry.

To change the power level for cooking, enter the

key.
For example:

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.

HOW TO OPERATE THE OVEN
MICROWAVING - INTRODUCTION
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 turnrearrange 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. 
• Use the low rack for reheating.
• See SUITABLE COOKWARE, page 26-27.

WARNING:
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.

MICROWAVE DEFROSTING
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 
CONVECTION
TEMPERATURE key
four times.
1. Enter the time by
pressing the
10 MIN key twice.
3. Press the START/AUTO
MINUTE key to start.
x1
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.
WARNING:

CONVECTION COOKING
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.
