FOR BEST RESULTS
• Foods should be cooked in a microwave safe
container, either plastic, Pyrex or ceramic.
• Moist foods will cook more evenly because
microwave energy heats water molecules
very efficiently. Add approximately 15mL to
20mL of water per 100g when cooking soft
and hard vegetables.
• For optimal results, arrange larger and thicker
foods such as broccoli or the thick end of a
chicken drumstick around the edges of the
turntable. This allows maximum penetration
of the microwaves through the food
during cooking.
• Stir foods such as casseroles and soups
from the outside to the centre to distribute
heat more evenly. Constant stirring is
not necessary.
• Small pieces of food cook faster than large
ones. Pieces similar in size and shape will
cook more evenly when cooked together.
• Be careful when removing lids or plastic wrap
from your microwave cooked foods. Steam
can build up and cause serious burns on face
or hands.

Hints & Tips
SOME IMPORTANT TIPS
FOR MICROWAVE COOKING
To help equalize energy in the food so that it
cooks evenly follow these helpful tips.
• Arrange foods with varying size ends, such
as chicken drumsticks and broccoli with
the thicker or tougher part positioned to the
outside of the dish. This ensures the parts
that require more cooking will receive more
energy, so the food will cook evenly.
• Covering the dish during cooking holds in
the heat and steam to speed up cooking time.
Use a microwave safe lid or plastic wrap that
has been vented by turning back one edge at
the side of the dish to form a narrow vent to
release excess steam.
• Choose cooking dishes that are shallow
and preferably have straight sides. Shallow
dishes enable the food to cook faster and
straight sides prevent the edges from
being overcooked.
• Arrange individual items such as ramekins
or whole potatoes around the outside of the
turntable. Make sure to leave space between
items so the energy can penetrate from
all sides.
• Use round shaped microwave dishes. Round
shapes cook more evenly than square or
rectangle dishes which absorb most of
the energy in the corners causing food to
overcook and toughen.
• Stir foods from the outside to centre of the
dish once or twice during cooking to equalize
heat and speed up microwaving.
• Turn medium to large food items over twice
during microwaving. This enables even
exposure to microwaves.
• Elevating some types of food such as cakes,
roast vegetables and dough products can
be advantageous. It allows more energy to
penetrate the food from all sides, base and
top. Use a microwave safe plastic or ceramic
rack. If a rack is unavailable, use an upturned
bowl or cup to elevate plates of food.
• Do not elevate any special browning dishes,
jugs of sauce or custard, small quantities of
food or mugs of beverages.
• Internal temperatures of foods continue to
rise so that they continue cooking even after
they have been removed from the microwave
oven. It is better to undercook food as it will
continue to cook once removed from the
microwave.
MICROWAVE USTENSILS
• Containers, plates, dishes, etc. used in
the microwave oven should always be
microwave–safe. Check if stated on the
underside of the utensil or contact the
manufacturer.
• To test if a container, plate or dish is
microwave–safe, place it into the microwave
oven with 1 cup of cold water (in a
microwave–safe cup) and heat on High
(100%) Power for 1 minute. If the container
is hot and the water is cold, the container is
not suitable for microwave oven use. If the
container is cold and the water is hot, then the
container is suitable for microwave oven use.
• Microwave-safe cookware will not become
hot by the microwave energy, but it will
become hot from contact with hot food.
When the food becomes hot, some of this
heat is transferred to the dish. Always use
oven mitts to remove hot dishes from the
microwave.
• Metal containers and utensils should not be
used in the microwave oven.
33
Care & Cleaning
• Remove the plug from the power outlet
before cleaning.
• Keep the inside of the microwave oven clean.
When food splatters or spilled liquids adhere
to the microwave oven internal walls, wipe
with a damp cloth. Mild detergent may be
used if the cavity gets very dirty. Avoid the
use of spray and other harsh cleaners as they
may stain, streak or dull the door surface.
• The outside surfaces should be cleaned with
a damp cloth. To prevent damage to the
operating parts inside the microwave oven
cavity, water should not be allowed to seep
into the ventilation openings.
• Wipe the door and window on both sides of
the door seals and adjacent parts frequently
with a damp cloth to remove any spills or
spatters. Do not use an abrasive cleaner.
• Do not allow the control panel to become wet.
Clean with a soft, damp cloth. When cleaning
the control panel, leave the microwave oven
door open to prevent it from accidentally
turning on.
• If steam accumulates inside or around the
outside of the oven door, wipe with a soft dry
cloth. This may occur when cooking foods
high in moisture or if the microwave oven is
operated under high humidity conditions,
this is normal.
• It is occasionally necessary to remove the
glass turntable for cleaning. Wash the glass
turntable in warm soapy water, rinse in clean
water and dry thoroughly.
34
• The turntable roller and microwave oven
floor should be cleaned regularly to ensure
the glass turntable rotates correctly and
avoids making excessive noise. Simply
wipe the bottom surface of the microwave
with a soft damp cloth. The turntable roller
may be washed in mild soapy water, rinse
in clean water and dry thoroughly. When
removing the turntable roller from the cavity
floor for cleaning, be sure to replace in the
proper position.
• Remove odours from your microwave oven
by combining a cup of water with the juice
of one lemon in a deep microwave-safe bowl,
microwave on High for 5 minutes. Wipe the
microwave oven cavity thoroughly and dry
with a soft cloth.
• When it becomes necessary to replace the
oven light, please consult your Breville
Service Centre to have it replaced.
• Please do not dispose this appliance with
domestic rubbish; it should be taken to the
appropriate disposal centre provided by the
local council municipalities.
• If storing the microwave oven, press the
STOP/CLEAR button, switch off at the power
outlet then unplug the power cord. Ensure
the microwave oven is completely cool, clean
and dry. Secure the roller ring and glass
turntable and close the door. Do not place
heavy objects on top. Store the microwave
oven upright.
• Wash the Combi Crisp Pan and Trivet in
the top rack of the dishwasher. Alternatively,
wash in warm soapy water, rinse with clean
water and dry thoroughly. If required, remove
Combi Crisp Pan legs by pinching inwards to
detach them from base of pan.
