Operating Instructions
Basic Microwave Cooking
- Place food in a microwave-safe container on the glass turntable.
- Close the oven door securely.
- Use the Power Level Dial (typically the top dial) to select the desired cooking power (e.g., High, Medium, Low). The Teka MW-20 BF has 800 watts of power.
- Use the Timer Dial (typically the bottom dial) to set the desired cooking time.
- The oven will start automatically once the timer is set. The cooking process stops when the timer reaches zero.
Defrost Function
The defrost function allows for thawing frozen foods. Refer to the markings on the Power Level Dial for specific defrost settings (e.g., by weight or time). Adjust the timer accordingly.
Express Cooking
For quick heating, some models offer an express cooking option. This typically involves setting a short time at full power. Consult the specific markings on your control dials for this feature.
Voice Control (if applicable)
While the product specifications mention "Voice control" and "Microphone" as an interface, this model primarily uses rotary dials. If your specific unit includes advanced voice control features, please refer to supplementary documentation or the manufacturer's website for detailed instructions on activating and using this functionality. For basic models, this feature may refer to simple audible alerts or prompts.
