Microwave power levels
Your oven has 6 power levels:
Power setting Suggested use
900 W / HIGH Used for fast cooking or reheating e.g. soup, casseroles, canned food, hot bever -
ages, 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 / DE -
FROST
To defrost, select this power setting, to ensure that the dish defrosts evenly. This
setting is also ideal for simmering rice, pasta, dumplings and cooking egg custard.
90 W For gentle defrosting, eg. cream gateaux or pastry.
0 W For standing/kitchen timer.
