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.

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.
DEFROST
The oven allows the defrosting of meat, poultry,
and seafood.
TIME DEFROST
The oven can quickly defrost food based on
the time you entered. Use to defrost frozen
food by time. The defrosting power level
is automatically set once the defrosting
time is inputted.
The maximum defrosting time that can be set
is 95 minutes:
FOR EXAMPLE: To defrost Chicken
1. Press the DEFROST button once.
2. Turn TIME/WEIGHT dial to set
cooking time.
3. Press START/+30 SEC button
LMO550_ANZ_IB_F20_FA.indd 16 9/6/20 1:22 pm

17
WEIGHT DEFROST
The time and defrosting power are adjusted
automatically once the weight is programmed.
The maximum defrosting weight that can be
set is 1800g.
FOR EXAMPLE: To defrost 600g of Chicken
1. Place the 600g of frozen chicken to be
defrosted into the microwave and press the
DEFROST button twice.
2. Turn the TIME/WEIGHT dial 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.
CHILD LOCK
Use to prevent unsupervised operation of the
oven by little children. The CHILD LOCK
indicator will show up on the display screen;
the oven cannot be operated while the CHILD
LOCK is set.
To set the CHILD LOCK: Press and hold the
STOP/CANCEL button for 3 seconds, a beep
sounds and the LOCK indicator illuminates on
the display.
To cancel the CHILD LOCK: Press and hold
the STOP/CANCEL button for 3 seconds until
lock indicator on display goes off.
SYSTEM PROTECTION
During cooking, the system will detect whether
there is an error. If there is an error, for example,
the sensor was to short circuit or if there is an
open circuit, the system will stop automatically
with the display showing E-1 and the oven will
beep every second until the STOP/CANCEL
button is pressed.
AUTO COOK
NOTE
The Auto Cook menu selections can only be
selected by turning the Time/Weight dial
anti-clockwise.
This microwave oven comes pre-programmed
with 8 Auto Cook menus.
When using any of the auto cook menus, only
the quantity or weight of the item needs to be
selected as the power level and duration for
cooking is automatic.
To select from the Auto Cook menu, press
the AUTO COOK button, turn the TIME/
WEIGHT dial until the menu item desired is
displayed, press the START/+30 SEC button.
Turn the TIME/WEIGHT dial to choose the
assigned weight or quantity of the item to be
cooked. The oven begins cooking once the
START/+30 SEC button is pressed.
FOR EXAMPLE: to cook 150g of porridge.
1. Press the AUTO COOK button , turn the
TIME/WEIGHT dial until 06 is displayed,
press START/+30 SEC button.
2. Turn the TIME/WEIGHT dial until the
weight of 150g is indicated on the display.
3. Press START/+30SEC dial to
commence cooking.
Auto Cook Menu
1. For beverage and potato, the screen will
show the number of servings instead of
food weight when turning the TIME/
WEIGHT dial anti-clockwise.
2. The result of auto cooking depends on
factors such as fluctuation of voltage,
the shape and size of food, your personal
preference as to the doneness of certain
foods and even how well you happen to
place food in the oven.
3. For Pasta, add boiling water before cooking.

Tips
SOME IMPORTANT TIPS FOR
MICROWAVING COOKING
1. To help equalise 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 with a vented lid
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 sides 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
equalise heat and speed up cooking.
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 as 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 never
be used in the microwave oven.

Care & Cleaning
• 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.
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 in your home's electrical
box. 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 checks 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.
• If 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.
