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, 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 about 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.

16

TIPS ON DEFROSTING
• The energy required for defrosting is much
less 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 tray 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.
WEIGHT DEFROST
The oven allows the defrosting of meat, poultry,
and seafood. The time and the defrosting
power are adjusted automatically once the
weight is programmed. The weight of the
frozen food varies between 100g and 1800g:
FOR EXAMPLE: To defrost 600g of Chicken
1. Place the 600g of frozen chicken to be
defrosted into the microwave and press the
WEIGHT DEFROST button.
2. Press WEIGHT ADJUST button repeatedly
to select the 600g weight.
3. Press START/+30 SEC button
NOTE
During defrosting program, the system will
pause and sound beeps to remind user to turn
food over, and then press START/+30 SEC to
resume the defrosting.

17
TIME DEFROST
The oven can quickly defrost food based on the
time you entered. The maximum defrosting
time you can set is 95 minutes:
FOR EXAMPLE: To defrost Chicken
1. Press TIME DEFROST button once.
2. Turn MENU/TIME dial to set cooking time.
3. Press START/+30 SEC button
NOTE

Tips
SOME IMPORTANT TIPS FOR
MICROWAVING COOKING
1. 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.
2. Covering the dish during cooking holds in
the heat and steam to speed up the 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.
3. Choose cooking dishes that are shallow
and preferably have straight sides. Shallow
dishes enable the food to cook faster and
straight edges prevent the edges from
being overcooked.
4. 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.
5. Stir foods from the outside to centre of
the dish once or twice during cooking to
equalize heat and speed microwaving.
6. Turn medium to large food items over once
during microwaving. This enables even
exposure to microwaves.
7. 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.
8. Do not elevate any special browning dishes,
jugs of sauce or custard, small quantities of
food or mugs of beverages.
9. 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 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.
• 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.
• Metal containers and utensils should not be
used in the microwave oven.

20
Care & Cleaning
• If storing the microwave oven, press the
STOP/CANCEL button, switch off at the
power outlet then unplug the power cord.

• 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.
NOTE
If none of the above rectify the situation,
then contact your Breville service centre.
Do NOT try to adjust or repair the microwave
oven yourself.
• 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 High PL10 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.
