Power Levels and Time Variations
The power level function enables you to adapt the amount of energy
dissipated and thus the time required to cook or reheat your food,
according to its type and quantity. You can choose between six power
levels.
The cooking times given in recipes and in this booklet correspond to
the specific power level indicated.
Stopping the Cooking
You can stop cooking at any time so that you can:
•
Check the food
•
Turn the food over or stir it
•

Adjusting the Cooking Time
Like traditional cooking, you may find that, depending on the food’s
characteristics or your tastes, you have to adjust the cooking times
slightly. You can:
•
Check how cooking is progressing at any time simply by
opening the door
•
Increase or decrease the remaining cooking time
