Gold-standard controls: our appliances with classic side controls are now available with touch operation for the first time. This allows you to operate your microwave oven quickly and intuitively – and the control panel is easy to wipe clean.
Automatic programmes
Convenient and stress-free: the Automatic programmes do the cooking for you. Simply choose the desired programme and enter, for example, the weight of the food. The appliance works out the power setting and cooking duration automatically. There is no need to select anything else or monitor the process. With the Automatic programmes for defrosting, subsequent cooking and for preparing fresh food, you can be confident of success every time.
LED spotlight
The LED spotlight perfectly illuminates the oven compartment on a lasting basis thanks to its maintenance-free characteristics. It is also particularly energy-efficient.
Automatic keeping warm function
What if your food is ready but you don’t want to serve it until later? The Automatic Keeping warm function will keep food at serving temperature for up to 15 minutes. It couldn’t be easier: the function will start automatically 2 minutes after a process has finished as long as the door has not been opened and buttons have not been pressed.
Combination mode
Two steps in one: you can now cook and brown food in a single process. You can cook delicious bakes, pizzas or crispy chicken legs using combination mode without having to change settings or check the cooking process partway through.

Why Buy?
Even browning and precise defrosting in a compact benchtop microwave
This 900W microwave oven pairs a 26-litre cavity with an integrated quartz grill, so it browns bakes, pizzas and chicken pieces in a single combination-mode cycle rather than needing a separate grill step. For anyone comparing a small microwave against a full oven for daily reheating, that combination function closes the gap.
Automatic programmes calculate power and cooking time from the weight of the food, so defrosting mince or reheating a plate doesn't rely on guesswork or repeated door-opening checks. The LED spotlight lights the cavity clearly without a bulb to replace, and memory function stores multi-step sequences so a dish that needs defrost, cook and brown runs as one programme. Once cooking finishes, the automatic keep-warm function holds food at serving temperature for up to 15 minutes if the door stays shut.
Side-mounted touch controls keep the stainless steel front panel flat and easy to wipe down, an advantage in a working kitchen where splatter is constant. At 520mm wide and 422mm deep, it sits comfortably on a benchtop or within a cabinet niche where a compact microwave oven needs to do more than reheat leftovers.
Buy this if…
- You want combination microwave and grill browning without a second appliance
- You reheat and defrost daily and want weight-based automatic programmes
- You prefer side controls kept clear of steam and splatter on the door
- You need a small microwave that still handles family-sized portions
- You want food held warm automatically until you're ready to serve
