Important Safety Instructions
Important.
If the recommended cooking times are
exceeded the food will be spoiled and in extreme
circumstances could catch fire and possibly
damage the interior of the oven.
Short Cooking Times.
As microwave cooking times are much shorter
than other cooking methods it is essential that
recommended cooking times are not exceeded
without first checking the food.
Cooking times given in the cookbook are
approximate. Factors that may affect cooking
times are: preferred degree of cooking, starting
temperature, altitude, volume, size and shape of
foods and utensils used. As you become familiar
with the oven, you will be able to adjust these
factors.
It is better to undercook rather than overcook
foods. If food is undercooked, it can always be
returned to the oven for further cooking. If food is
overcooked, nothing can be done. Always start with
minimum cooking times.
Small quantities of food.
Take care when heating small quantities of food
as these can easily burn, dry out or catch fire if
cooked too long. Always set short cooking times
and check the food frequently.
Foods low in moisture.
Take care when heating foods low in moisture,
e.g. bread items, chocolate, popcorn, biscuits and
pastries. These can easily burn, dry out or catch
on fire if cooked too long. We do not recommend
heating foods low in moisture such as popcorn or
poppadoms.
This oven has been developed for food use.
We do not recommend that it is used for heating
non food items such as wheat bags or hot water
bottles.
Reheating.
It is essential that reheated food is served “piping
hot”.
Remove the food from the oven and check that it
is “piping hot”, i.e. steam is being emitted from all
parts and any sauce is bubbling. (If you wish you
may choose to check the food has reached 72°C
with a food thermometer – but remember do not
use this thermometer inside the microwave.)
For foods that cannot be stirred, e.g. lasagne,
shepherds pie, the center should be cut with a
knife to test it is well heated through. Even if a
manufacturer’s packet instructions have been
followed always check the food is piping hot before
serving and if in doubt return your food to the oven
for further heating.
Standing Time.
Standing time refers to the period at the end of
cooking or reheating when food is left before being
eaten, i.e. it is a rest time which allows the heat in
the food to continue to conduct to the center, thus
eliminating cold spots.
Lids.
Always remove the lids of jars and containers and
takeaway food containers before you microwave
them. If you don’t then steam and pressure might
build up inside and cause an explosion even after
the microwave cooking has stopped.
Babies Bottles and Food Jars.
When reheating babies bottles always remove top
and teat. Liquid at the top of the bottle will be much
hotter than that at the bottom and must be shaken
thoroughly before checking the temperature. This
should be carried out before consumption to avoid
burns. See page 21.

En-5
Important Safety Instructions
Boiled Eggs.
Eggs in their shell and whole hard-boiled eggs
should not be heated in microwave ovens since
they may explode even after microwave heating
has ended.
Foods with Skins.
Potatoes, apples, egg yolk, whole vegetables and
sausages are examples of food with non porous
skins. These must be pierced using a fork before
cooking to prevent bursting.
Paper, Plastic.
When heating food in plastic or paper containers,
keep an eye on the oven due to the possibility of
ignition. Do not use wire twist-ties with roasting
bags as arcing will occur.
Do not use re-cycled paper products, e.g. Kitchen
roll unless they say they are specifically designed
for use in a microwave oven. These products
contain impurities which may cause sparks and/or
fires when used.
Liquids.
Microwave heating of beverages can result in
delayed eruptive boiling, therefore care should be
taken when handling the container.
To prevent the possibility of sudden boil the
following steps should be taken:
a) Avoid using straight-sided containers with
narrow necks.
b) Do not overheat.
c) Stir the liquid before placing the container
in the oven and again halfway through the
heating time.
d) After heating, allow to stand in the oven for
a short time, stirring again before carefully
removing the container.
Deep Fat Frying.
Do not attempt to deep fat fry in your oven.
Arcing.
Arcing may occur accidentally if a metal container
has been used, the wire rack has been damaged,
or the incorrect weight of food is used. Arcing is
flashes of blue light seen in the microwave oven.
If this occurs, stop the machine immediately. If the
oven is left unattended and this continues it can
damage the machine.
Meat Thermometer.
Use a meat thermometer to check the degree of
cooking of joints and poultry only when meat has
been removed from the microwave. If undercooked,
return to the oven and cook for a few more minutes
at the recommended power level. Do not leave a
conventional meat thermometer in the oven when
microwaving.
In accordance with para. 2 Cl. 5 of the Russian
Federal Law “On consumer rights protection”,
the manufacturer hereby assigns the use period
of the present device to be 7 years from the
date of production under the condition that the
present device is used in strict compliance with
the present manual and applicable technical
standards.

Parts of your Oven
1. Always refer to instructions for correct
accessories to use on all programs.
2. The roller ring and oven floor should be
cleaned frequently to prevent excessive noise.
3. Always operate the oven with the roller ring
and glass tray in place.
4. Only use the glass tray specifically designed
for this oven. Do not substitute with any other
glass tray.
5. Do not cook directly on glass tray.
Always place food in a microwave safe dish.
6. If glass tray is hot, allow to cool before
cleaning or placing in water.
7. If food or utensils on the glass tray touch the
oven walls, this will cause the tray to stop
moving. It will then automatically rotate in the
opposite direction. This is normal. Open oven
door, reposition the food and restart.
8. The glass tray can rotate in either direction.
The maximum weight that can be placed on
the tray is 3 kg(6 lb. 10 oz.) (this includes total
weight of food and dish).

General Guidelines
STANDING TIME
Dense foods e.g. meat, jacket potatoes and cakes,
require standing time (inside or outside of the oven)
after cooking, to allow heat to finish conducting to
the center of the food to cook through completely.
Wrap meat joints and jacket potatoes in aluminium
foil while standing. Meat joints need approx.
10 - 15 minutes, jacket potatoes 5 minutes. Other
foods such as plated meals, vegetables, fish etc.
require 2 - 5 minutes standing. If food is not cooked
after standing time, return to the oven and cook for
additional time. After defrosting food, standing time
should also be allowed.
QUANTITY
Small quantities cook faster than large quantities,
also small meals will reheat more quickly than
large portions.
SPACING
Foods cook more quickly and evenly if spaced
apart. NEVER pile foods on top of each other.
MOISTURE CONTENT
Many fresh foods e.g. vegetables and fruit, vary
in their moisture content throughout the season,
particularly jacket potatoes. For this reason cooking
times may have to be adjusted. Dry ingredients e.g.
rice, pasta, can dry out during storage so cooking
times may differ.
PIERCING
The skin or membrane on some foods will cause
steam to build up during cooking.
These foods must be pierced or a strip of skin
should be peeled off before cooking to allow
the steam to escape. Eggs, potatoes, apples,
sausages etc, will all need to be pierced before
cooking. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO BOIL EGGS IN
THEIR SHELLS.
COVERING
Cover foods with microwave cling film or a lid.
Cover fish, vegetables, casseroles, soups. Do not
cover cakes, sauces, jacket potatoes or pastry
items.
DENSITY
Porous airy foods heat more quickly than dense
heavy foods.
CLING FILM
Cling film helps keep the food moist and the
trapped steam assists in speeding up cooking
times. Pierce before cooking to allow excess steam
to escape. Always take care when removing cling
film from a dish as the build-up of steam will be
very hot.

En-9
General Guidelines
SHAPE
Even shapes cook evenly. Food cooks better by
microwave when in a round container rather than
square.
STARTING TEMPERATURE
The colder the food, the longer it takes to heat up.
Food from a fridge takes longer to reheat than food
at room temperature. Food temperature should be
between 5 and 8°C before cooking.
LIQUIDS
All liquids must be STIRRED BEFORE, DURING
AND AFTER heating. Water especially must be
stirred before and during heating, to avoid eruption.
Do not heat liquids that have previously been
boiled. DO NOT OVERHEAT.
TURNING AND STIRRING
Some foods require stirring during cooking.
Meat and poultry should be turned after half the
cooking time.
ARRANGING
Individual foods e.g. chicken portions or chops,
should be placed on a dish so that the thicker parts
are towards the outside.
CHECKING FOOD
It is essential that food is checked during and
after a recommended cooking time, even if an
AUTO PROGRAM has been used (just as you
would check food cooked in a conventional oven).
Return the food to the oven for further cooking if
necessary.
DISH SIZE
Follow the dish sizes given in the recipes, as these
affect the cooking and reheating times.
A quantity of food spread in a bigger dish cooks
and reheats more quickly.
CLEANING
As microwaves work on food particles, keep your
oven clean at all times. Stubborn spots of food can
be removed by using a branded microwave spray
cleaner, sprayed onto a soft cloth. Always wipe the
oven dry after cleaning.
English

En-10
Containers to Use
Choosing the correct container is a very important factor in deciding the success or failure of your cooking.
Quick Check Guide to Cooking Utensils
OVEN GLASS POTTERY, EARTHENWARE, STONEWARE
Glass that is heat
resistant e.g. Pyrex®, is
ideal.
Do not use delicate glass
which may crack due to
the heat from the food. Do
not use lead crystal which
may crack or arc.
Only use if completely
glazed. Do not use
if partially glazed or
unglazed, as they are able
to absorb water which will
absorb microwave energy,
making the container very
hot and slowing down the
cooking of food.
CHINA AND CERAMIC FOIL/METAL CONTAINERS
Glazed china plates,
saucers, bowls, mugs and
cups can be used if they
are heat resistant.
Porcelain and ceramic
are also ideal. Fine bone
china should only be used
for reheating for short
periods, otherwise the
change in temperature
may crack the dish or
craze the finish. Do not
use dishes with a metal
rim or pattern. Do not use
jugs or mugs with glued
handles, since the glue
can melt in a microwave.
NEVER ATTEMPT TO
COOK IN FOIL OR
METAL containers – the
microwaves cannot pass
through and the food will
not heat evenly – this may
also damage your oven.
Use wooden kebab sticks
instead of metal skewers.

En-11
Containers to Use
PLASTIC
Many plastic containers are designed for microwave
use. Only use Tupperware®containers if they are
designed for microwave use. Do not use Melamine
as it will scorch. Do not use plastic for cooking foods
high in sugar or fat or foods that require long cooking
times e.g. brown rice. Never cook in margarine
containers or yogurt pots, as these will melt with the
heat from the food.
PAPER
Plain white kitchen paper (kitchen towel) can be used for covering
blind pastry cases and for covering bacon to prevent splattering ONLY
USE FOR SHORT COOKING TIMES. NEVER RE-USE A PIECE OF
KITCHEN TOWEL.
Avoid kitchen paper containing manmade fibers. Check that branded
re-cycled kitchen towel is recommended for microwave use. Do not
use waxed or plastic coated cups as the finish may melt in the oven.
Greaseproof paper can be used to line the base of dishes and to cover
fatty foods. White paper plates can be used for SHORT REHEATING
TIMES, ON MICROWAVE ONLY.
WICKER, WOOD, STRAW BASKETS
Do not use these items in your microwave. With continued use and
with prolonged exposure they will crack and could ignite.
CLING FILM
Use microwave cling film to cover food that is to be reheated, or
cooked, ON MICROWAVE ONLY taking care to avoid the film being in
direct contact with the food.
ALUMINIUM FOIL
Small amounts of smooth aluminium foil can be used to SHIELD joints of
meat during defrosting and cooking. As the microwaves cannot pass through
the foil this prevents the shielded parts from overcooking or overdefrosting.
The foil must not touch the sides or roof of the oven, as this may cause
arching and damage your oven.
ROASTING BAGS
These are useful when slit up one side to tent a joint of meat when roasting
by power and time. DO NOT USE THE METAL TWISTS SUPPLIED.

Turbo Defrost
for NN-ST342W/M
TURBO DEFROST can be used to defrost many cuts of meat, poultry and fish by weight. To use, simply
program the weight. The oven will determine the defrosting time and power levels.
e.g. To defrost 1.5 kgof meat.
• Set the weight of the food using the
.
For best results, the minimum
recommended weight is 0.2 kg.
• Press .
Defrosting time appears in the
display window and begins to count
down.
Food Maximum Weight
Minced meat, Chicken Pieces, Chops 2 kg
Beef roast, Lamb, Pork, Whole chicken 2 kg
Whole fish, Scallops, Prawns, Fish fillets 1 kg
Notes:
1. BONE-IN ROASTS, such as a Beef Rib Roast or Pork Loin Rib Roast have a smaller muscle than a
boneless roast of the same weight. Therefore, for bone-in roasts weighing over 2 kgreduce weight by
0.5 kg. For bone-in roasts weighing less than 2 kg, reduce weight by 0.2 kg.
2. When buzzer rings in the middle of cooking, turn over the food, remove the defrosted part/food, or
shield thin ends/fat bones of roast with foil.

Defrosting Guidelines
For Best Results:
1. Place foods in a suitable container. Meat joints and chickens should be placed on an upturned saucer
or on a plastic rack if you have one.
2. Check food during defrosting, as foods vary in their defrosting speed.
3. It is not necessary to cover the food.
4. Always turn or stir the food especially when the oven “beeps”. Shield if necessary (see point 6).
5. Minced meat, chops and other small items should be broken up or separated as soon as possible
and placed in a single layer.
6. Shielding prevents food cooking. It is essential when defrosting chickens and joints of meat.
The outside thaws out first, so protect wings/breast and fat with smooth pieces of aluminium foil
secured with cocktail sticks.
7. Allow standing time so that the center of the food thaws out. (Minimum of 1 hour for joints of meat and
whole chickens.)
Arrange food in a single layer. Turn or break up food as soon
as possible.
Shield chickens and joints of
meat .
