Introduction
How Microwaves work
Precautions
1. Do not attempt to operate the oven if the
door is misaligned, bent, the hinges are
loose or broken or if the door no longer
closes properly. Report any damage to your
dealer or nearest Defy Service Centre.
They will be able to take the necessary cor-
rective action.
2. Do not tamper with or attempt to bypass
the door safety interlocks.
3. Do not place or trap any object between the
front edge of the oven and the door.
Electrical installation
• Microwave ovens operate off a 15A earthed
electrical socket and do not require special-
ised electrical installation. However im-
proper earthing could result in electrical
shocks.
• If the supply cord is damaged it must be
replaced by a qualified service technician.
• The use of an extension cord is not recom-
mended but if one must be used, ensure that
the rating is equal or greater than that of the
appliance.
Please take some time and read through this man-
ual carefully. It will tell you all you need to know
about your new microwave oven, what it will do
and how to do it. We wish you many happy years
of cooking.
You are now the owner of one of the finest and
most modern microwave ovens that today’s tech-
nology can produce. You are going to make a
great team together, but first you must familiarise
yourself with the product.
This explains the mystery of how hot food can
emerge from a cold oven.
Microwaves are not retained in the air or in the
food after the door is opened. Microwaves can
not penetrate metals, so the oven cavity is lined
with metal. The oven door window is transparent
and is lined with a fine metal mesh which pre-
vents the waves from passing through. The door
mechanism is designed in such a manner that the
oven will not operate if the door is open. During
manufacture, the microwave ovens are subjected
to stringent processes and testing to ensure that
microwave leakage does not occur.
Microwaves are high-frequency electromagnetic
waves closely resembling ordinary daylight or
radio waves. But whereas radio waves vary in
length from 1 metre to many kilometres, micro-
waves are only about 12.5 cm long.
A magnetron, inside the oven, converts electrical
energy into microwaves. The microwaves are not
hot, so there is no heat in the microwave oven.
The microwaves penetrate the food and provide
energy which vibrates the water molecules pre-
sent in the food. This incredibly rapid vibration
produces extreme heat which cooks the food.
4. Clean up any residue which may accumu-
late on the door’s inner sealing surface.
5. Liquids or foods should not be heated in
sealed containers as they might explode.
6. Do not allow children or the infirm to use
the oven without responsible supervision.
7. Any adjustment or repairs should only be
undertaken by a qualified service techni-
cian

• Do not use the oven for any purpose other
than for cooking food.
• Do not operate the oven when it is empty.
• Do not use the oven as a storage space.
• Do not operate the oven without the turnta-
ble base and tray in position.
• Place the food in a microwave ap-
proved cooking utensil and place it
centrally on the tray. Placing a heavy
load near the perimeter of the tray
could cause the tray to dislodge.
• Do not place food directly on the tray
unless the food is self contained and
will not spill. When cooking more
than one item, arrange the food so
that the items are evenly spaced.
• Monitor the oven when cooking food in
plastic or paper containers to avoid acciden-
tal ignition.
• Avoid using recycled paper products for
cooking as these could contain impurities
which could cause sparking.
Installation
Safety tips and instructions
5. Install the oven well away from Hi-Fi and
TV sets, as broadcast reception could be
affected.
6. Install the oven well away from heaters, or
water taps.
7. Allow an air space of at least 30mm around
the sides and rear of the oven and 100mm
above the oven for ventilation purposes.
8. Do not block any of the air vents on the
cabinet.
9. If the oven is not adequately vented , it may
overheat and this could lead to failure
eventually.
1. Remove all packaging, including the pro-
tective film on the cabinet exterior. Do not
remove the clear film on the inside of the
door viewing screen.
2. Examine the oven for any damage. ( A mis-
aligned door, a dent in the cabinet)
3. If damaged, do not operate the oven and
notify your dealer or the nearest Defy Ser-
vice Centre immediately.
4. The oven must be placed on a suitable flat,
level and stable surface capable of support-
ing the weight of the product.
• Do not pop popcorn in the oven unless you
use microwave popcorn in an approved bag.
• Pierce or puncture the skins of non porous
foods such as egg yolk, sausages, pumpkins
and tomatoes before cooking.
• Do not place eggs or nuts in their shells in
the oven as they might explode.
• Remove all caps or lids when cooking food
in sealed containers.
• Always test the temperature of food and
drinks, especially feeding bottles and baby
food jars, before consumption, to avoid get-
ting burnt.
• Microwave heating of beverages could re-
sult in delayed eruptive boiling, so care
should be taken when handling such con-
tainers.
• Never heat fat or oil in the microwave as
the temperature cannot be controlled and
combustion could result.
• Keep the oven and waveguide cover clean
at all times. Remove all traces of fat or
grease as these could ignite the next time
the oven is used.
• Do not allow children or the infirm to oper-
ate the oven without supervision.

Accessories and their use
The rotating base.
The rotating base should be securely fitted over the
shaft at the centre of the oven floor.
The rotating base must remain in the oven at all
times during cooking and should only be removed
for cleaning purposes.
The turntable tray.
Position the tray on top of the rotating base so the
groove in the tray locates snugly over the base
rollers.
During operation, the tray must always be in place
and will rotate clockwise or anti-clockwise.
The metal stand.
The microwave compatible stand is placed cen-
trally on the tray and allows the food to be posi-
tioned closer to the upper grill.
Use the tray for Microwave cooking, Convection
cooking, Combi cooking, Auto cooking and De-
frosting.
Use the high metal stand for grilling.
Use the low metal stand for Defrosting and
Cake menus.

The oven has both an upper and a lower grill which may be operated in unison or independently.
When used for the first time, the grill elements will generate smoke and release an odour. We
therefore recommend that you heat both the upper and lower grill elements for 10 minutes before
placing food in the oven. To activate grilling, proceed as follows:
Grilling table
Grill button Grill elements Indicator display Word display
Press once Upper grill GRILL 1
Press twice Lower grill GRILL 2
Press 3 times Upper and Lower grill GRILL 3
Tips
Suggestions Recommended cookware
• Grilling is ideal for toasting bread or muffins.
• Remember to use oven gloves when handling
food as the oven will be hot.
• Place the food on the metal stand ( high or low).
• The closer the food is placed to the upper grill
element , the better the browning effect.
Use oven proof cookware.
As there is no microwave energy generated, metal
dishes or plates may be placed on the metal stands
without the danger of arcing.
