MAFF HEATING CATEGORY
Model R-871M 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.

MICROWAVE POWER LEVELS
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.
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.

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.

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 MICROWAVE
POWER LEVEL
once for HIGH (100%).
3. Press START/AUTO
MINUTE key once to
start cooking.
Display will count down
through 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. 
• See SUITABLE COOKWARE, page 27-28.

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 33.
MICROWAVE
POWER LEVEL
EXAMPLE:
To bake two layers of scones  at 200°C for 20 minutes. Place one flan dish of scones on the low rack and one
flan dish on the high rack.  Close the door.
The oven cavity, door, turntable, turntable support, 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.

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.

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 55-58.
• When using the CONVECTION facility, all metal cookware can be used. See SUITABLE COOKWARE
pages 27-28.  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.

• If you prefer not to preheat the oven where recommended in the Cookery Book, allow extra cooking
time.
• The preheated temperature will be maintained for approximately 30 minutes before automatically
turning itself off and returning to the time of day if the clock has been previously set.
