Some products such as whole eggs and sealed containers - for example, closed glass jars and sealed baby bottles with a teat - may explode and should not be heated in a microwave oven.
Use this microwave oven only for its intended use as described in this manual. As with any appliance, close supervision is necessary when used by children.
Do not operate this microwave oven, if it is not working properly, or if it has been damaged or dropped. Do not store or use this appliance outdoors. Do not immerse cord or plug in water. Keep cord away from heated surfaces. Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter. To reduce the risk of fire in the oven cavity: a Do not overcook food. Carefully attend microwave oven if paper, plastic, or other combustible materials are placed inside the oven to facilitate cooking.
Do not remove outer panel from oven. The oven must be placed on a flat, stable surface more than 85 cm above the floor. For correct operation, the oven must have sufficient air flow. Allow 15 cm of space on the top of the oven, 10 cm at back and 5 cm on both sides.
If one side of the oven is placed flush to a wall, the other side or top must not be blocked. If they are blocked during operation, the oven may overheat. If the oven overheats, a thermal safety device will turn the oven off. The oven will remain inoperable until it has cooled. The surfaces of top, back and left side of the oven become hot during operation.
Do not allow the mains cable to come in contact with the surface of the oven. This oven was manufactured for household use only.
This could result in a sudden boil over of hot liquid. Care should be taken to avoid touching heating elements inside the appliance. Add page 6 to Favourites. In order to maintain high quality, do not operate the oven when empty. The microwave energy will reflect continuously throughout the oven if no food or water is present to absorb energy.
Do not dry clothes, newspapers or other materials in the oven. They may catch on fire. Do not use recycled paper products, unless the paper product is labelled as safe for microwave oven use.
Do not use newspapers or paper bags for cooking. Do not hit or strike control panel. Damage to controls may occur. The tray can be very hot after removing the cooking container from the oven. Do not store flammable materials next to, on top of, or in the oven. It could be a fire hazard. Do not cook food directly on Ceramic Tray unless indicated in recipes. Food should be placed in a suitable cooking utensil.
Do NOT use this oven to heat chemicals or other non-food products. Do NOT clean this oven with any product that is labeled as containing corrosive chemicals. The heating of corrosive chemicals in this oven may cause microwave radiation leaks. Always insert a heatproof, glass plate or dish between the wire rack and the aluminum container.
This will prevent sparking that may damage the oven. General Instructions Earthing Instructions This microwave oven must be earthed. In the event of an electrical short circuit, earthing reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current.
This microwave oven is equipped with a cord having an earthing wire with an earthing plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and earthed. Do not insert higher value fuse in the power board. Fan Motor Operation After using the oven, the fan rotates to cool the electric components. Do not switch the electricity off for 5 minutes after using the oven. This continuance of fan operation is perfectly normal, and you can take out the food from the oven while the fan operates.
If ceramic tray is hot, allow to cool before cleaning or placing in water. Do not use your oven for home canning or the heating of any closed jar. Pressure will build up and the jar may explode. In addition, the microwave oven cannot maintain the food at the correct canning temperature.
Improperly canned food may spoil and be dangerous to consume. Do not attempt to deep fat fry in your microwave oven. Potatoes, apples, egg yolks, whole squash, chicken wing and sausages are examples of foods with non porous skins.
This type of food must be pierced before cooking, to prevent bursting. When heating liquids, e. This could result in a sudden boil over of the hot liquid. To prevent this possibility the following steps should be taken: a Avoid using straight-sided containers with narrow necks. Alternatively, a conventional meat thermometer may be used after the food is removed from the oven.
If undercooked, return meat or poultry to the oven and cook for a few more minutes at the recommended power level.
It is important to ensure that meat and poultry are thoroughly cooked. Add page 7 to Favourites. Electricity is converted into microwave energy by the magnetron tube which is the heart of the microwave oven.

Because of its design, the three slots for trays and the lack of a turntable, the emphasis here seems to be more on the convection function than the microwave.
Instead, you get various trays, which can be positioned at three different heights, or left at the bottom of the oven. The glass tray is suitable for all functions, while the plastic trivet is meant for steaming tasks. Not suitable for straightforward microwave cooking, the wire shelf and enamel tray come in handy for grilling, convection and steaming tasks.
The bottom front part of the appliance also has a drip tray that stops water from running onto your worktop when the oven door is opened. This is particularly useful for the steam function, which also requires filling the water tank — a rectangular plastic box located behind the drip tray. Navigating the controls takes a little getting used to, not helped by the small LCD that only allows one word to be displayed at a time. Handily, there is a thick instruction manual, and a quick guide to all programmes is provided in a sticker format, so it could be attached to a surface for safekeeping.
The manual also includes general defrosting, cooking and reheating guidelines, as well as some 40 pages of recipes, covering every course, with vegetarian and vegan options, plus bread, cakes and preserves. The touch-sensitive buttons make a beeping sound when pressed — useful to establish everything is operational, but it can get annoying when a lot of button-pressing is required. In addition to the 36 smart cooking counting three for defrosting and 12 combination programmes, the NN-CS89LBBPQ has four cleaning settings, including deodorisation and cavity cleaning to remove grease build-up inside the oven.
The NN-CS89LBBPQ impressed with its auto programmes and grill setting, while some tasks using its regular microwave and convection functions delivered somewhat uneven results, requiring a longer cooking time. After 2mins of defrosting two slices of frozen white bread using the low defrost power level, the thermal camera showed some extremes, with the corners of the bread showing white hot and the centre of the bread dark purple frozen. I then had to flip the bread over to finish defrosting, which took another 1min30secs, but by the time the cold centre was warmed up, the already-warm areas were getting a bit cooked.
Chaos Defrost, the setting that speeds up the defrosting process based on the weight of the food, delivered faster results and a handy reminder to flip the bread over halfway through the process at 49secs, although the corners of the slices came out warm, while the middle remained cold.
Microwaving two slices of frozen bread at full power proved quickest. After 20secs, the bread was still unevenly defrosted, while another 20secs meant it was starting to get a little too warm, putting the optimal full-power defrost time at around the sec mark.
To toast the bread, I used the highest grill setting with the wire rack in the top position. The grill took 4mins to preheat, and the bread came out evenly browned after another 4mins under the grill.
To test the steam capabilities, I used the Auto Cook steam programme to cook g of rice with ml of water. This took 28mins and the rice came out still a little wet and chewy. After microwaving it for a further minute at full power, it was perfect. Interestingly, rice is the only automatic programme here with a lower capacity — g was the maximum amount of rice allowed. However, it still had a very noticeable crunch when cut, indicating a hard, uncooked middle.
After another 3mins50secs I deemed it edible enough, especially as I was starting to worry about the outer layer drying out too much.
I had much better results using the auto cook programme for jacket potatoes, which benefits from a built-in sensor that measures the humidity of the food and adjusts the power level and cooking time accordingly. After 3mins of assessing the potatoes in the oven, the sensor suggested a 17min50sec cooking time. While it felt a tiny bit crunchy at the very centre, it was cooked through and mostly pleasantly fluffy. Using the convection-only setting to cook some frozen roast potatoes and to bake a focaccia, I noted the results came out a little pale compared with the same temperature in my regular oven, requiring extra cooking time.
But the focaccia benefitted from the Steam Shot function — a quick blast of steam manually added during baking to enhance the rising process of breads, cakes or pastries. The steam function and the water tank also proved very useful for cleaning the oven: the minute Cavity Cleaning programme that steamed the inside meant that all the muck could be simply wiped away with a cloth.
With its flatbed design, it has a bigger cooking space than its slightly cheaper rival the Sage Combi Wave 3 in 1. Unlike other sites, we test every microwave we review thoroughly over an extended period of time.
