Notes:
1.You can rotatethe TIMER/WEIGHT knob clockwiseor
2.Press the STOP button if you make a mistake duringprogramming.
3.If the electrical power supply to your microwave oven is interrupted, the display will intermittently show 
after the power is reinstated. If this occursduringcooking,the programmewill be erased.The time of day will also be erased.
4.When you want to reset the time of day, follow the example on page 12 again.
Microwave cooking advice
Microwaves are energy waves, similar to those used for TV and radio signals.
Electrical energy is converted into microwave energy, which is directed into the oven cavity via a waveguide. To prevent food and grease entering the waveguide it is protected by the waveguide cover.
Microwaves cannot pass through metal, because of this the oven cavity is made of metal and there is a fine metal mesh on the door. During cooking the microwaves bounce off the sides of the oven cavity at random.
Microwaves will pass through certain materials, such as glass and plastic, to heat the food. (See ‘Suitable Cookware’ on page 16).
To cook/defrost food in a microwave oven, the microwave energy must be able to pass through the container to penetrate the food. Therefore it is important to choose suitable cookware.

Round/oval dishes are preferable to square/oblong ones, as the food in the corners tends to overcook. A variety of cookware can be used as listed on page 16.
Water, sugar and fat in food absorb microwaves which cause them to vibrate. This creates heat by friction, in the same way your hands get warm when you rub them together.
The outer areas of the food are heated by the microwave energy, then the heat moves to the centre by conduction, as it does in conventional cooking. It is important to turn, rearrange or stir food to ensure even heating.
Once cooking is complete, the oven automatically stops producing microwaves.
Standing time is necessary after cooking, as it enables the heat to disperse equally throughout the food.
Microwaves cook food faster than conventional cooking. It is therefore essential that certain techniques are followed to ensure good results. Many of the following techniques are similar to those used in conventional cooking.
