Quick, even heating – thanks to 800W power and five power levels

800W of microwave power combined with five selectable power settings allows control over heating intensity, helping to avoid overcooked edges while warming food through. Power levels range from low gentle heat to higher settings for faster reheating.

Faster reheating for meals and leftovers, with the option to reduce power for delicate foods or sauces.

Fuss-free defrosting – thanks to automatic defrost settings

Automatic defrost requires entry of the food weight and then calculates an appropriate defrost time and power, removing the need to guess timings. Pre-programmed logic adjusts duration to help thaw food more evenly.

Simple, reliable defrosting for frozen ingredients, reducing the risk of partially thawed centres.

Low-maintenance cleaning – with a wipeable painted interior and dishwasher-safe turntable

A painted, wipeable cavity allows surface spills to be cleaned quickly with a cloth, while the removable glass turntable can be placed in a dishwasher for a more thorough clean.

Less time spent scrubbing after meals, so upkeep fits into a busy routine.
