Power Suggested use
setting
Your oven has 6 power levels:
900 W/ Used for fast cooking or reheating e.g. soup, casseroles, canned food, hot beverages,
HIGH vegetables, fish, etc.
630 W Used for longer cooking of dense foods such as roast joints, meat loaf and plated meals,
also for sensitive dishes such as cheese sauce and sponge cakes. At this reduced setting,
the sauce will not boil over and food will cook evenly without over cooking at the sides.
450 W For dense foods which require a long cooking time when cooked conventionally,
e.g. beef dishes, it is advisable to use this power setting to ensure the meat will be tender.
270 W/ To defrost, select this power setting, to ensure that the dish defrosts evenly. This
DEF- setting is also ideal for simmering rice, pasta, dumplings and cooking egg
ROST custard.
90 W For gentle defrosting, eg. cream gateaux or pastry.
0 W For standing/kitchen timer.
