Midea MMW12VT34B 1200W Smart Inverter Black Microwave

• Smart Inverter technology: delivers precise cooking by automatically adjusting power levels for the exact amount of heat your food needs, for more consistent results and food that stays true to its texture.
• Smart Humidity Sensor: a sensor in the oven cavity detects the humidity released from food as it heats and adjusts the cooking time accordingly, so meals are evenly heated and never overcooked. It is used for cooking raw or semi-processed foods.
• Even Reheat: distributes heat consistently across the whole dish, so every bite is warmed from edge to centre without cold spots in the middle.
• 1200W microwave output: 1200 watts of power makes cooking and reheating faster, ideal for busy households and bigger portions.
• 10 power levels: from PL1 (10%) to PL10 (100%) for gentle heating of delicate foods or faster cooking at higher levels.
• Defrost by Weight or Time: enter the weight (100g to 2000g) and let the microwave work out the time, or set the defrosting time yourself, with a buzzer reminding you to turn the food over.
• 8 preset menus: Melt/Soften, Beverage, Sensor Reheat, Pasta, Vegetable, Potato, Pizza and Chicken, so you simply choose the menu and the microwave takes care of the rest.
• Speedy cooking: press the Start button for 100% power for 30 seconds, adding 30 seconds with each press, or press number keys 1 to 6 to start 1 to 6 minutes of cooking.
• Multi-stage cooking: set two cooking stages in one go, such as defrosting followed by cooking at 50% power.
• Kitchen timer and clock: a countdown kitchen timer up to 99:99 and a 12-hour clock display.
• Child lock: press and hold the Stop button for three seconds to lock the controls and prevent accidental starts.
• Mute and Eco modes: silence the key beeps with a three second press of the 8 key, or turn the display off in standby with Eco mode.
• 315mm turntable: a large glass turntable with a ring assembly helps food cook evenly.

Australian Consumer Law

Our goods come with guarantees that cannot be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law. You are entitled to a replacement or refund for a major failure and compensation for reasonably foreseeable loss or damage. You are also entitled to have the goods repaired or replaced if they fail to be of acceptable quality and the failure does not amount to a major failure.

The two sensor systems are worth understanding. Sensor Cook and Sensor Reheat work out the cooking time for you, so there is no need to pick a time or power level, but the oven door must stay closed while it is sensing or the programme is cancelled. Once sensing finishes, the calculated cooking time counts down on the display. The sensor is intended for raw or semi-processed foods, so for anything else the manual power levels and the Even Reheat function give you full control.

Only use utensils that are suitable for microwave ovens. Microwave-safe dinnerware, heat-resistant glassware, microwave-safe plastic and parchment paper can be used, while metal or metal-trimmed utensils, aluminium trays, food cartons with metal handles, metal twist ties and paper bags should be avoided as they can cause arcing or fire. Glass jars should have their lids removed, and a browning dish must sit at least 5mm above the turntable. To test an unfamiliar dish, put it in the oven with a cup of cold water (250ml) and run it on maximum power for 1 minute, and do not use it for microwave cooking if the empty dish is warm.

Never run the oven empty or with the door open, and do not heat liquids or foods in sealed containers, eggs in their shell or whole hard-boiled eggs, as they can explode. Beverages can boil suddenly after heating, so take care when handling containers, and stir or shake baby food and feeding bottles before checking the temperature. It is normal for steam to come out of the vents or collect on the oven door, for the oven light to dim at low power levels and for the oven to cause some radio or TV interference. If the supply cord is damaged it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or a similarly qualified person.
