Microwave When cooking with microwaves alone, you are able to set the power level and the cooking time. There are six settable power levels that are specified as a percentage of the maximum level and range from 0% to 100% in 20% increments. You can set the cooking time to be up to 60 minutes. Grilling When cooking by means of grilling alone you are able to specify the grilling time at full power. Grilling time can be set at up to 60 minutes in 10, 30 and 60 second increments. Grill cooking is particularly useful for thin slices of meat, steaks, chops, kebabs, sausages and pieces of chicken. It is also suitable for hot sandwiches and au gratin dishes. Combination cooking There are two cooking combinations for you to choose: · · Combination 1 (Comb1) Combination 2 (Comb2) The combinations each comprise microwave and grill cooking in different set amounts. 12 MX752GMSSE Microwave Oven USING THE MICROWAVE OVEN Quick Start The QuickStart cooking feature allows you to quickly set the cooking time to one of twelve preset values up to a maximum of 10 minutes. The first four presses of the button increment in 30 second amounts, thereafter in 1-minute amounts. The microwave power level is fixed at maximum (100%). Defrost The oven can be used to defrost food according to the weight of the food. The defrost time and power level are automatically calulated and set once you have entered the weight of the food. Other features Auto reminder After a cooking or defrosting process has completed, the oven will emit three beeps every two minutes until the oven door is opened or the Cancel button is pressed. Timer When the oven is not being used for cooking, it can be used as a timer to time events external to the oven. When started, the timer counts down from the time duration you have entered and beeps when this time has expired.

Child-proof lock When this feature is set, the control panel buttons are disabled which prevents unsupervised operation by young children for example, or any other person who does not know how to reset the lock. 13 MX752GMSSE Microwave Oven USING THE MICROWAVE OVEN Microwave cooking basics Do not cook directly on the glass tray. Place the food in a microwaveable dish for example. Arrange the food with the thickest areas to the outside of the dish. Cook for the shortest indicated time but do not under-cook. Add extra time if required. However, severely over-cooked food can smoke and may ignite. Cover food while cooking. The cover prevents spatter and helps the food to cook more evenly. Turn foods over during cooking to speed the cooking of foods such as hamburgers and chicken. Larger items, such as joints of meat must be turned at least once. Rearrange small items of food such as meatballs halfway through cooking. Turn them over and move ones from the centre of the dish to the outside and items from the top to the bottom of the dish.
