DEFROSTING
To defrost foods not included in the Auto Defrost menu, use microwave power levels 30P (MEDIUM LOW) or10P (LOW). Stir or turn food at least 2-3 times during defrosting. After defrosting, cover food or wrap in aluminium foil and leave to stand until thoroughly defrosted. Refer to the defrosting chart in the cookbook section on page 20.
GRILLING
The grill at the top of the oven cavity has one power setting. Assisted by the turntable which rotates to ensure even browning, the grill is both economical and ideal for cooking food such as bacon, gammon steaks, fish fingers and tea cakes or for making cheese on toast. It is also ideal for browning and crisping food which has been microwaved. NOTE: When first using the grill heater, smoke and odour will be given off. To avoid this happening when food is being cooked, heat the grill heating element without food for approximately 20 minutes. Example: To grill for 8 minutes. Close the oven door.
x8 1. Enter the grilling time, press the 1 min key eight times.
x6 2. Press the MICRO/ GRILL/DUAL key six times.
x1 3. Press the START/AUTO MINUTE key once to start grilling.
The display will count down through the grilling time.
It is not necessary to preheat the grill. It is recommended to use the rack for grilling small items such as toast, bacon or steak, turn over halfway through grilling. Place food directly on the rack, in a flan dish or on a heat-resistant plate. When browning or crisping foods in a casserole dish, use the rack if the container is shallow enough. However, it is advisable to place such containers directly onto the turntable, allow a little extra time to brown and crisp.
