fl ashing on the display.

NOTES:
• If the clock is set, when cooking is complete, the display will show the correct time of day. If the clock has not 

been set, the display will show “0:00”.

• To check the time of day during a cooking process, press CLOCK/KITCHEN TIMER button and the LED will 

display the time of day for 2-3 seconds. This does not aff ect the cooking process.

• In the process of clock setting, if the STOP/CLEAR button is pressed, the oven will go back to the former setting.
• If the electrical power supply to your microwave oven is interrupted, the display will intermittently show “0:00” after the 

power is reinstated. If this occurs during cooking, the programme will be erased. The time of day will also be erased.

Generally the following recommendations apply:

P100 - (HIGH output = 900W) used for fast cooking or 
reheating e.g. for casseroles, hot beverages, vegetables etc.
P80 - (MEDIUM HIGH output = 720W) used for longer 
cooking of dense foods such as roast joints, meat loaf 
and plated meals, also for sensitive dishes such as 
sponge cakes. At this reduced setting, the food will 
cook evenly without over cooking at the sides.
P50 - (MEDIUM output = 450W ) for dense foods 
which require a long cooking time when cooked 
conventionally, e.g. beef casserole, it is advisable to use 
this power setting to ensure the meat will be tender.

P30 - (MEDIUM LOW 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.
P10 - (LOW output = 90W) For gentle defrosting, e.g. 
cream gateaux or pastry.

GB-20

Your oven can be programmed for up to 95 minutes (95.00).

The input unit of cooking (defrosting) time varies from 5 
seconds to 5 minutes. It depends on the total length of the

NOTES for GRILL and COMBI COOKING:
•  It is not necessary to preheat the grill.
•  When browning food place it either on a rack or in a deep container on the turntable. Use the rack for grilling 

small items of food  such as bacon, gammon and teacakes.

• You may detect smoke or a burning smell when using the grill for the first time. This is normal and not a 

sign that the oven is not operating correctly. To avoid this problem, when fi rst using the oven, heat the oven 
without food for 20 minutes on grill mode.

IMPORTANT: During operation, to allow smoke or smells to disperse open a window.

Your oven can be used as a conventional oven using the convection facility and 10 pre-set oven temperatures. 
Preheating is recommended for better results. The temperature can be chosen from 140°C to 230°C in 10°C 
increments.
