Functions
INTRODUCTION TO MICROWAVE COOKING
- Microwaves are invisible waves of electromagnetic energy similar to radio waves. Instead of being converted to sound as in a radio or mobile phones, it is converted into a heat source which heats food from the inside.
- Microwaves cook because food molecules of water, fat and sugar react to the energy provided by the microwaves. That energy is absorbed by the food causing the molecules to vibrate quickly. This movement creates friction which causes the food to heat up and therefore cook.
- The energy in a microwave is distributed evenly throughout the cavity.
- Microwave cooking is considered the ‘cool’ cooking method as only the food gets hot and surrounding air stays cool.
- Microwaves are safe and can be economical.
- Microwave ovens don’t need preheating therefore the kitchen stays cooler. Cooking is cleaner with less odours and washing up is reduced.
- Microwave ovens cook foods rapidly. Some foods are better cooked in a microwave oven as they retain more flavour, moisture, texture and goodness, such plain fish fillets, soft fruit, vegetables and fat free cakes.
- In a microwave the heat is produced INSIDE the food. In all other conventional cooking methods, heat is applied from OUTSIDE through transference of heat by convection or radiation.
- Microwave energy penetrates the food to a depth of approximately 25mm. Small foods under 5cm in diameter such as eggs are penetrated to the centre, from all sides. In larger foods, energy creates heat in the outer layer; this then moves to the centre by conduction, as it does with conventional cooking.
BEFORE FIRST USE
- Before first use, remove all promotional stickers and packaging material before using the microwave oven for the first time.
- To eliminate a choking hazard for young children, remove and safely discard the protective cover fitted to the power plug of this microwave oven.
- Carefully unpack the microwave oven and keep all packing material until all the parts of the microwave oven have been found and the appliance has been assembled.
- To remove any dust that may have accumulated during packing, wipe the interior and exterior of the microwave oven with a soft, damp cloth and dry thoroughly.
WARNING
Do not immerse any part of your microwave oven in water or any other liquid.
TIPS ON SETTING UP YOUR MICROWAVE
- Select a level surface that provides enough open space for the air intake and/or outlet vents.
- A minimum clearance of 20cm on each side and 30cm above the microwave is required between the microwave oven and any adjacent walls.
NOTE
- Do not remove the feet from the bottom of the microwave oven.
- Blocking the air intake and/or outlet openings can damage the microwave oven.
- Do not install the microwave oven over a range cooktop or other heat-producing appliance.
- Place the microwave oven as far away from radios and televisions as possible.
- The operation of a microwave oven may cause interference to your radio or television reception.
- The microwave must not be placed in a cabinet.
WARNING
- Do not install the microwave oven over a range cooktop or other heat-producing appliance.
- If installed near or over a heat source, the microwave oven could be damaged and the warranty would be void.
- Check the microwave oven for any damage, such as misaligned or bent door, damaged door seals and sealing surface, broken or loose door hinges and latches and dents inside the cavity or on the door.
- If there is any damage, do not operate the microwave oven and contact a Breville service centre.

TIPS ON DEFROSTING
- The energy required for defrosting is much lower than for cooking as the microwave causes the ice formed in the food to melt, rather than heat.
- Before defrosting meat in the microwave oven, remove the freezer bag or wrapping to prevent meat sitting in ‘drip’, which will otherwise boil as the meat defrosts causing meat to go grey and begin to stew.
- To remove frozen meat from freezer wrappings, defrost for a few minutes so the wrap is easy to remove.
- Remove meat from Styrofoam trays as they are not microwave-safe.
- Place meat onto a microwave safe rack and a drip tray to catch juices.
- Check the meat throughout the defrosting time. As outer portions of meat thaw, remove them. If the edges of meat feel warm, stop microwaving and allow meat to stand for a few minutes or until edges are cold again.
- After defrosting the meat, it must be cooked right away. Don’t leave it to stand for any length of time at room temperature or in the fridge.
SAFETY CHILD LOCK
- The Safety Child Lock can be activated to prevent unsupervised operation of the microwave oven by children.
- When activated, the microwave oven cannot be operated and the SAFETY CHILD LOCK icon will illuminate on the display.
- To set the SAFETY CHILD LOCK, press and hold the STOP/CANCEL button for 3 seconds until a beep sounds and the SAFETY CHILD LOCK icon will illuminate on the display.
- To cancel the SAFETY CHILD LOCK, press and hold the STOP/CANCEL button for 3 seconds until the SAFETY CHILD LOCK icon is no longer displayed on the screen.
Tips
SOME IMPORTANT TIPS FOR MICROWAVING 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 the cooking time. Use a microwave-safe lid that has been vented, to allow the release excess steam.
- Choose cooking dishes that are shallow dishes enable the food to cook faster.
- Use round shaped microwave dishes. Round shapes cook more evenly than square or rectangular 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 microwaving.
- Turn medium to large food items over once during microwaving. This enables even exposure to micro waves.
- 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. 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 underheat food slightly as it will continue to cook once removed from the microwave.
- MICROWAVE UTENSILS, containers, plates, dishes, etc. used in the microwave oven should always be microwave-safe. Check if they are microwave-safe on the underside of the utensil or contact the manufacturer.
- Metal containers and utensils should not be used in the microwave oven.
Care, Cleaning & Storage
- Switch off the microwave oven at the power outlet and 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.
- 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 highest power level 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.
- If storing the microwave oven, press the STOP/CANCEL button, switch off at the power outlet then unplug the power cord. Ensure the microwave oven is completely cool, clean and dry. Do not place heavy objects on top. Store the microwave oven upright.
- Please do not dispose of this appliance with domestic rubbish; it should be taken to the appropriate disposal centre provided by your local council municipalities.
BEFORE YOU CALL FOR SERVICE
- Check to ensure that the microwave oven is plugged in securely. If it is not, remove the plug from the power outlet, wait 10 seconds and plug it in again securely.
- Check for a blown circuit fuse or a tripped main circuit breaker. If these seem to be operating properly, test the power outlet with another appliance.
- Check to ensure that the control panel is programmed correctly and the timer is set.
- Check to ensure that the door is securely closed engaging the door safety lock system. Otherwise, the microwave energy will not flow into the microwave oven.
