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 1
tablespoon of water per 115g (4oz) of food.
• 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.
• 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.
• Let the food stand after removing from the
microwave. Keep covered and stand for
approximately 5 minutes. Note, standing
time will depend on the food type, density
and surface area.
• 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.
Popcorn
The SMART COOK POPCORN setting is
designed to pop the maximum number of
kernels in each bag.
Place the bag in the centre of the turntable and
press START to begin cooking.
For better results place the popcorn bag
on top of a ramekin or similar in the centre
of the turntable.

Potatoes
For the SMART COOK POTATOES setting,
the Sensor IQ technology will automatically
calculate the cooking time for the optimal
food result.
Cook times are based on potatoes being at
room temperature (approx. 20°C / 70°F).
Before cooking, pierce each potato with a fork
5–6 times and simply place the whole potatoes
on a single layer around the outer edge of the
turntable surface.
Soft Vegetables
The SMART COOK SOFT VEGETABLES
setting is suitable for vegetables such as
broccoli, green beans, cauliflower, zucchini
and peas.
Cook time is based on vegetables from the
refrigerator (approx. 5°C / 40°F).
Minimum amount of vegetables cooked is
100g (3.5oz) and maximum is 700g (1.5lbs).
Cut into even size pieces to ensure even
cooking throughout. Add 1 tablespoon of water
per 100g (3.5oz) of soft vegetables.
Cover with a vented microwave-safe plastic lid
or vented microwave-safe plastic wrap.
Halfway through the cook program, an alert
tone will sound, and STIR / TURN will flash.
Open door or press STOP / CLEAR button
once to pause. Stir vegetables, close door and
press START button to continue.
