NOTE 
During defrosting, two beeps will sound to 
remind you to open the oven door and 
rearrange or turn over the food for better 
defrosting performance. 
The oven will not start if you happen to enter 
weight in excess of the maximum 
recommended.  
For food exceeding these maximum weights, 
use the SPEED DEFROST program.   
To serve as a reminder, after a cooking or 
defrosting function has completed, the oven 
makes beeps every two minutes until the door 
is opened or the CANCEL button is touched.

NOTE: 
1.  If you try to completely defrost frozen 
foods in the microwave oven, uneven 
defrosting may occur due to the 
differences in the thickness and shape of 
the food. Drippings may also result, and 
sometimes a part of the food cooks 
although other parts still remain frozen. In 
actual usage of frozen foods, you should 
not normally completely defrost food, but 
70% defrosting in the oven is quite good 
for the next step of preparing the food for 
cooking. 
2.  To defrost evenly, turn over or rearrange 
the food during defrosting. 
3.  To defrost fatty meat, heat for a short time 
in the oven and leave it to stand at room 
temperature, or heat it intermittently until 
defrosted. 
4.  When you defrost a whole chicken, or any 
frozen food of irregular shape, wrap legs 
or thin parts with aluminum foil. Otherwise 
thin parts will be defrosted faster and 
sometimes cooked before other parts 
have properly defrosted. For big pieces of 
meat, wrap the sides with aluminum foil 
so that they will be uniformly thawed by 
vertical microwaves only.   
5.  Ice should be removed at times during 
defrosting.

For food or the following cooking mode, it is not necessary to program the duration and the cooking 
power. It is sufficient to indicate the type of food that you wish to cook as well as the weight of this 
food. In order to do this, press the individual icon pad of the food you are going to cook, the first of a 
number of preset weight parameters will appear, choose the one that’s equivalent to the weight of 
food you have placed into the oven. The oven begins cooking once the START button is engaged. 
 
For example, to cook 400g of bacon. 
1.  Press bacon button once (see the following table notes 2) , the default cooking time appears. 
2.  Select cooking time by turning the TIME/WEI.
