WARNING
• To avoid an electrical circuit overload, it
is recommended that no other appliances
are plugged into the same circuit as your
microwave oven (or other products) when it
is in use.
• Do not install oven over a range cooktop or
other heat-producing appliances. If installed
near or over a heat source, the oven could be
damaged and the warranty would be void.
• Check the oven for any damage, such a

15
misaligned or bent door, sealing surface,
broken or loose door hinges and latches and
dents inside the cavity or on the door. If there
is any damage, do not operate the oven and
contact a Sage service centre.

up items that can become soggy in the
microwave, such as pizza, chicken nuggets
and fries. The Combi Crisp Pan can be used
in either the High or Low position depending
on the size of the food or how much browning
is desired. To reduce the risk of injury or
causing damage to the microwave oven,
always place the Combi Crisp Pan securely in
the centre of the turntable.
• Do not place plates or dishes of any kind on
the Combi Crisp pan as they may overheat
and become damaged.
CAUTION
The Combi Crisp pan and trivet are safe to use
in microwave mode. But note that trivet and
crisp pan can not be used at the same time and
never on top of the other.
NOTE
Best to use the trivet in convection oven mode.
(e.g. for roasting)
NOTE
The non-slip silicone feet on the trivet are
designed to help keep it steady and should
NOT be removed.
The silicone on the crisp pan legs and trivets
are safe in microwave mode to use.
• When the use of the Combi Crisp pan is
required for the selected cooking function,
the words ‘USE PAN’ or ‘USE PAN LEGS’ will

FOR BEST RESULTS
• Foods should be cooked in a microwave safe
container, either plastic, Pyrex or ceramic.
• Moist foods will cook more evenly because
microwave energy heats water molecules
very efficiently. Add approximately 15mL to
20mL of water per 100g when cooking soft
and hard vegetables.
• For optimal results, arrange larger and thicker
foods such as broccoli or the thick end of a
chicken drumstick around the edges of the
turntable. This allows maximum penetration
of the microwaves through the food during
cooking.

26
• Stir foods such as casseroles and soups
from the outside to the centre to distribute
heat more evenly. Constant stirring is not
necessary.
• Small pieces of food cook faster than large
ones. Pieces similar in size and shape will
cook more evenly when cooked together.
• Be careful when removing lids or plastic wrap
from your microwave cooked foods. Steam
can build up and cause serious burns on face
or hands.

FOR BEST RESULTS
• Defrost times are for thoroughly frozen foods
that have been in the freezer for at least 24 hours
and maintained at temperatures of –18°C or
lower.
• When freezing meats, poultry and fish, use good
quality plastic wrap, bags and containers.
• To separate meat, such as chicken pieces or
steak, place wax paper or plastic film between
each layer.
• Ensure that all air has been removed and
packaging has been sealed securely.
• Label the packs with type and cut of meat, date
and weight.
• After the defrost cycle, most foods will still be
somewhat icy in the centre when removed from
the microwave. Stand food for 5–15 minutes
until completely thawed.
• Position foods in a single layer with thinner
parts in the centre and thicker ends around the
outside of the turntable.
• Remove any packaging and bags from frozen
meats. If packaging is too frozen to remove,
defrost for 3 minutes using the TIME DEFROST
setting; remove packaging and continue with
the SMART DEFROST setting.

outside of the plate/container. Shield thinner
pieces such as wings with foil to prevent
overheating and cooking.
