USING THE CRISPER PAN The crisper pan is ideal for crisping up items that can become soggy in the microwave, such as pizza, chicken nuggets and fries. The crisper pan can be used in either the upper or lower position depending on the size of the food or how much browning is desired.
To reduce risk of injury, or damaging the microwave oven, ensure the crisper pan is placed securely in the centre of the turntable in both the upper and lower position. Avoid placing Pyrex, plates or serving ware on the crisper pan as they may overheat and become damaged.

CAUTION
The crisper pan surfaces and legs are hot during and after operation. This accessory is only to be used with the BMO700.
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 as misaligned or bent door, damaged door seals and 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 Breville service centre.

Caramel
The shortcuts CARAMEL setting is ideal for making sauces or hard toffee.
The CARAMEL setting uses 2 power levels, firstly 80% to dissolve the sugar in the water and then 100% to evaporate the water and melt the sugar.
This setting is suitable for making light caramel. To increase the darkness see darkness table below for additional times.
1. Choose a clear Pyrex bowl that is large enough to contain the hot sugar mixture when boiling. Wash the bowl well to remove any residue oil or grit that will cause the caramel to crystallise.
2. Place sugar and water into the bowl and mix well with a metal spoon. See Caramel table below for cooking method and weights.
3. Wash down any stray sugar grains from the side of the bowl using a pastry brush dipped in clean water. Stray sugar grains will cause the caramel to crystallise if not properly incorporated.
4. Place the bowl in the centre of the turntable.
5. Press the CARAMEL button on the shortcuts panel inside the door.
6. Turn the AMOUNT dial to select weight and press START to begin cooking.
7. During the cook program, the oven will beep and will flash "stir/turn food". Pause and carefully remove the cooking bowl from the microwave using oven proof mitts.
CAUTION
Melted sugar is extremely hot and will burn if it comes into contact with the skin. Always practice extreme caution when cooking caramel.

8. Swirl the bowl gently to dissolve any remaining sugar. Wash down any stray sugar grains from the side of the bowl using a pastry brush dipped in clean water.
9. Return bowl to the microwave and press START to continue.
10. At the end of the cooking cycle, if caramel is to your desired colour, carefully remove the cooking bowl from the microwave using oven proof mitts.
11. To make toffee; pour hot sugar mixture onto a metal tray lined with baking paper. Add any additional ingredients and leave at room temperature to cool completely.
12. To make butterscotch sauce; add butter and cream to the hot sugar mixture and stir through.
13. If caramel is not to your desired colour, add additional time following the darkness table below and check every 30 seconds. Always remove caramel when it is close to your desired colour as it will continue to cook after heating has stopped and become darker on standing.

INTRODUCTION TO MICROWAVE COOKING
· Microwaves are invisible waves of electromagnetic energy similar to radio waves. Instead of being converted to sound as in a radio or mobile phones, it is converted into a heat source which heats food from the inside.
· Microwaves cook because food molecules of water, fat and sugar react to the energy provided by the microwaves. That energy is absorbed by the food causing the molecules to vibrate quickly. This movement creates friction which causes the food to heat up and therefore cook.
· The energy in a microwave is not distributed evenly throughout the cavity. The turntable rotates constantly while cooking which prevents uneven cooking.
· Microwave cooking is considered the "cool" cooking method as only the food gets hot and surrounding air stays cool.
· Microwaves are safe and economical on electricity with savings up to 50%.
· Ovens need no preheating therefore the kitchen stays cooler. Cooking is cleaner with less odours and washing up is reduced.
· Microwave ovens cook foods rapidly, some foods are better cooked in a microwave oven as they retain more flavor, texture and goodness, such as plain fish fillets, soft fruit, vegetables and fat free cakes.
· In a microwave the heat is produced INSIDE the food. In all other conventional cooking methods, heat is applied from OUTSIDE through transference of heat by convection or radiation.
· Microwave energy penetrates the food to a depth of about 25mm. Small foods under 5cm in diameter such as eggs are penetrated to the centre from all sides. In larger foods, energy creates heat in the outer layer; this then moves to the centre by conduction, as it does with conventional cooking.

SOME IMPORTANT TIPS FOR MICROWAVE COOKING
To help equalize energy in the food so that it cooks evenly follow these helpful tips.
1. Arrange foods with varying size ends, such as chicken drumsticks and broccoli with the thicker or tougher part positioned to the outside of the dish. This ensures the parts that require more cooking will receive more energy, so the food will cook evenly.
2. Covering the dish during cooking holds in the heat and steam to speed up cooking time. Use a microwave safe lid or plastic wrap that has been vented by turning back one edge at the side of the dish to form a narrow vent to release excess steam.
3. Choose cooking dishes that are shallow and preferably have straight sides. Shallow dishes enable the food to cook faster and straight edges prevent the edges from being overcooked.
4. Arrange individual items such as ramekins or whole potatoes around the outside of the turntable. Make sure to leave space between items so the energy can penetrate from all sides.
5. Use round shaped microwave dishes. Round shapes cook more evenly than square or rectangle dishes which absorb most of the energy in the corners causing food to overcook and toughen.
6. Heat breads, biscuits or oily food on the crisper pan or paper towel. This prevents the build up of steam between food and glass turntable, keeping surfaces crisp and dry. Cover foods with paper towel to prevent splatters.
7. Stir foods from the outside to centre of the dish once or twice during cooking to equalize heat and speed microwaving.
8. Turn medium to large food items over twice during microwaving. This enables even exposure to microwaves.

9. Elevating some types of food such as cakes, roast vegetables and dough products can be advantageous. It allows more energy to penetrate the food from all sides, base and top. Use a microwave safe plastic or ceramic rack. If a rack is unavailable, use an upturned bowl or cup to elevate plates of food.
10. Do not elevate any special browning dishes, jugs of sauce or custard, small quantities of food or mugs of beverages.
11. Internal temperatures of foods continue to rise so that they continue cooking even after they have been removed from the microwave oven. It is better to under cook food as it will continue to cook once removed from the microwave.
MICROWAVE UTENSILS
· Containers, plates, dishes, etc. used in the microwave oven should always be microwave­safe. Check if stated on the underside of the utensil or contact the manufacturer.
· To test if a container, plate or dish is microwave­safe, place it into the microwave oven with 1 cup of cold water (in a microwave­safe cup) and heat on High (100%) Power for 1 minute. If the container is hot and the water is cold, the container is not suitable for microwave oven use. If the container is cold and the water is hot, then the container is suitable for microwave oven use.
· Microwave-safe cookware will not become hot by the microwave energy, but it will become hot from contact with hot food. When the food becomes hot, some of this heat is transferred to the dish. Always use oven mitts or clothes to remove hot dishes from the microwave.
· Metal containers and utensils should not be used in the microwave oven unless provided with BMO700 microwave oven.

Care & Cleaning
· Switch off the microwave oven at the power outlet and remove the plug from the power outlet before cleaning.
· Keep the inside of the microwave oven clean. When food splatters or spilled liquids adhere to the microwave oven internal walls, wipe with a damp cloth. Mild detergent may be used if the cavity gets very dirty. Avoid the use of spray and other harsh cleaners as they may stain, streak or dull the door surface.
· The outside surfaces should be cleaned with a damp cloth. To prevent damage to the operating parts inside the microwave oven cavity, water should not be allowed to seep into the ventilation openings.
· Wipe the door and window on both sides of the door seals and adjacent parts frequently with a damp cloth to remove any spills or spatters. Do not use an abrasive cleaner.
· Do not allow the control panel to become wet. Clean with a soft, damp cloth. When cleaning the control panel, leave the microwave oven door open to prevent it from accidentally turning on.
· If steam accumulates inside or around the outside of the oven door, wipe with a soft dry cloth. This may occur when cooking foods high in moisture or if the microwave oven is operated under high humidity conditions, this is normal.
· It is occasionally necessary to remove the glass turntable for cleaning. Wash the glass turntable in warm soapy water, rinse in clean water and dry thoroughly.
· The turntable roller and microwave oven floor should be cleaned regularly to ensure the glass turntable rotates correctly and avoids making excessive noise. Simply wipe the bottom surface of the microwave with a soft damp cloth. The turntable roller may be washed in mild soapy water, rinse in clean water and dry thoroughly. When removing

the turntable roller from the cavity floor for cleaning, be sure to replace in the proper position.
· Remove odours from your microwave oven by combining a cup of water with the juice of one lemon in a deep microwave-safe bowl, microwave on High for 5 minutes. Wipe the microwave oven cavity thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth.
· When it becomes necessary to replace the oven light, please consult Breville Service Centre to have it replaced.
· Please do not dispose this appliance with domestic rubbish; it should be taken to the appropriate disposal centre provided by the local council municipalities.
· If storing the microwave oven, press the STOP/CLEAR button, switch off at the power outlet then unplug the power cord. Ensure the microwave oven is completely cool, clean and dry. Secure the roller ring and glass turntable and close the door. Do not place heavy objects on top. Store the microwave oven upright.
BEFORE YOU CALL FOR SERVICE
· Check to ensure that the oven is plugged in securely. If it is not, remove the plug from the power outlet, wait 10 seconds and plug it in again securely.
· Check for a blown circuit fuse or a tripped main circuit breaker. If these seem to be operating properly, test the power outlet with another appliance.
· Check to ensure that the control panel is programmed correctly and the timer is set.
· Check to ensure that the door is securely closed engaging the door safety lock system. Otherwise, the door safety lock system will prevent the microwave from switching on.
NOTE
If none of the above rectify the situation, then contact your Breville Service Centre. Do not try to adjust or repair the oven yourself.
