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.

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. 
• Place convenience foods in a flan dish on the low
rack.
• See SUITABLE COOKWARE, page 27-28.

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. The display may show “NOW COOLING”.
• Recipes requiring a browned or crispy underside (ie; pies, pizza and bread), should be placed directly
on the turntable.
• Joints of meat/poultry should be cooked on the low rack 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.
Display will count

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.
• 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.
