OPERATION

Before cooking
Plug the microwave into the outlet. The display will light up, enter Standby mode, and show 1:00.
Microwave function
There are five power levels (100P, 80P, 50P, 30P, and 10P).

1. Turn the mode selector until it points to the icon with the desired power.
2. Turn the time/weight selector to increase or decrease the time. The selectable time range is 0:10-60:00.
3. After selecting the time, press the “START/+30 s” button to start operation.
4. Once time is up, you will hear a buzzing sound.

| | Power level| Function
---|---|---|---
| High power| 100P| Fast and complete cooking
| Medium-High power| 80P| Medium express cooking
| Medium power| 50P| Steam cooking
| Medium-Low power| 30P| Defrosting
| Low power| 10P| Keep warm

Warning:
– When the microwave is operating at full power, power will automatically decrease after a while to extend shelf life.
– If you open the door during operation, you must press the “START/+30 s” button to continue.
– If you remove food before the pre-set time has elapsed, you must press the “STOP/LOCK” button to prevent the microwave from operating further.
Defrost
Use the defrost function to defrost by weight. The weight range you can select is 100-1500 g. In this mode, a beep will sound to alert the user to turn the food over during operation.

1. Turn the mode selector until it points to the defrost icon to select “Defrost by weight”, and the display will show “dEF”.
2. Turn the Defrost/Clock selector to set food weight.
3. After selecting the weight, press the “START/+30 s” button to start operation.
4. Once it finishes, you will hear a buzzing sound.

Advice on food defrosting time:
– The time for defrost-by-weight mode is approximate. You may need more or less time depending on the food type.
– It is necessary to turn the food over during operation to obtain a uniform effect.
– Defrosting normally takes longer than heating up the food.
– If food can be cut by knife, the defrosting process can be considered completed.
– Defrosted food should be consumed as soon as possible. It is not advisable to put it back in the refrigerator or to refreeze it.

Clock
Clock setting:

1. In Standby mode, turn the mode selector until it points to the clock icon and press and hold the “START/+30 s” button for more than 3 seconds to enter the clock’s setting interface.

Automatic cooking
There are eight automatic menus:

1. Turn the mode selector until it points to the “Menu” icon.

3. Press the “START/+30 s” button to start operation.
4. Once it finishes, you will hear a buzzing sound.

– It is recommended that the food be at room temperature (20-25º). A higher or lower temperature would require an increase or decrease of the operating time.
– The temperature, weight, and shape of the food have great influence, so you can adjust the time more or less than indicated if necessary.

---|---|---

4. Once it finishes, you will hear a buzzing sound.

RECOMMENDATIONS FOR USE

– Food arrangement: Place the thickest food parts towards the edge of the glass tray. Do not put food on top of other food if possible.
– Watch cooking time: Cook for the shortest amount of time at first and add more minutes in case it is necessary. Over-cooking may result in smoke and burns.
– Cover food while cooking: Covering the food you are going to cook avoids spattering and allows for a more even cooking.
– Flip or stir food during the cooking process.
