2. Turn the ADJUST KNOB
clockwise to set the desired
cooking time. The oven
starts automatically.
GENERAL HINTS:
The more food you want to cook the
longer it takes. A rule of thumb is that
double amount of food requires almost
double the time.
The lower starting temperature, the
longer cooking time is required. Food at
room temperature cooks faster than food
taken directly from the refrigerator.
If you are cooking several items of the
same food, such as jacket potatoes, place
them in a ring pattern for uniform cooking.
Some foods are covered by a skin or
membrane e.g. potatoes, apples and egg
yolks. These food should be pricked with a
fork or cocktail stick to relieve the pressure
and to prevent bursting.
Smaller pieces of food will cook faster
than larger pieces and uniform pieces of
food cook more evenly than irregularly
shaped foods.
Stirring and turning of food are
techniques used in conventional cooking as
well as in microwave cooking to distribute
the heat quickly to the center of the dish
and avoids over-cooking at the outer edges
of the food.
When cooking food of uneven shape or
thickness, place the thinner area of food
towards the center of the dish, where it will
be heated last.
Food with lot of fat and sugar will be
cooked faster than food containing a lot of
water. Fat and sugar will also reach a higher
temperature than water.
Always allow the food to stand for some
time after cooking. Standing time always
improves the result since the temperature
will then be evenly distributed throughout
the food.

GENERAL HINTS:
As in traditional cooking methods, food
reheated in a microwave oven must always
be heated until piping hot.
The best results are achieved if the food
is arranged with the thicker food to the
outside of the plate and the thinner food in
the centre.
Place thin slices of meat on top of each
Covering the food helps to keep the
moisture inside the food, reduces spattering
and shortens the reheating time.
When reheating frozen food portions
follow the manufactures instruction on the
package.
Food which cannot be stirred, like gratin
other or interlace them. Thicker slices such
as meat loaf and sausages have to be
placed close to each other.
When reheating stews or sauces it is
better to stir once to distribute the heat

GENERAL HINTS:
Frozen food in plastic bags, plastic films
or cardboard packages can be placed
directly in the oven as long as the package
has no metal parts (e.g. metal twist ties).
The shape of the package alters the
defrosting time. Shallow packets defrost
more quickly than a deep block.
Separate pieces as they begin to defrost.
Individual slices defrost more easily.
Shield areas of food with small pieces of
aluminiumfoil if they start to become warm
(e.g. chicken legs and wing tips).
Turn large joints halfway through the
defrosting process.
Boiled food, stews and meat sauces
defrost better if stirred during defrosting
time.
When defrosting it is better to under-thaw
the food slightly and allow the process to
finish during standing time.
Standing time after defrosting always
improves the result since the temperature
will then be evenly distributed throughout
the food.

GENERAL HINTS:
The Grill function is excellent for
browning the food after cooking with
microwaves.
The Wire rack may be used to move foods
closer to the grill element for quicker
browning.
Place thin foods such as toasts and
sausages on the wire rack and cook with
grill only.
Thicker foods such as gratins and chicken;
Cook with microwaves first and then allow
the grill to brown the top surface in order to
put some colour to it.
You may place vessels or gratins directly
on the Glass turntable.
IMPORTANT!
Ensure that the utensils you use are heat
resistant, ovenproof and allow microwaves
to pass through them before Grilling with
microwaves combined.
Do not use plastic utensils when grilling.
They will melt. Items of wood or paper are
not suitable either.

Cleaning is the only maintenance
normally required. It must be carried out
with the microwave oven disconnected.
Do not use metal scouring
pads on the inside of the
oven cavity. They will
scratch the surface.
At regular intervals, especially if spillovers
have occurred, remove the turntable, the
turntable support and wipe the base of the
oven clean.
This oven is designed to operate with the
turntable in place.
Do not operate the microwave oven when
the turntable has been removed for
cleaning.
Use a mild detergent, water and a soft
cloth to clean the interior surfaces, front and
rear of the door and the door opening.
Do not allow grease or food particles to
build up around the door.
For stubborn stains, boil a cup of water in
the oven for 2 or 3 minutes. Steam will
soften the marks.
Adding some lemon juice to a cup of
water, placing this on the turntable and
boiling for a few minutes can eliminate
odours inside the oven.
The Grill element {M5617 AKL221)
does not need cleaning since the intense
heat will burn off any splashes, but the
ceiling beneath it may need regular
cleaning. This should be done with warm
water, detergent and a sponge.
