MICROWAVE cooking programmes
For each MICROWAVE function, the following table shows the
power and pre-selected cooking time for each cooking mode.
The power is fixed automatically depending on the type of
cooking chosen. It is, however, possible to modify it to adapt it
to a specific recipe.
You can alter the cooking time at any moment.

water and food that contains a lot of liquid.

DEFROST
programme
This is the ideal function for defrosting frozen vegeta-
bles. Your microwave oven saves you lots of time To
defrost food use the DEFROST or MICROWAVE
functions, set to 200W power.
Tips
:
Small cuts of meat or fish can be cooked immediately
after defrosting. Larger cuts such as meat roasts or whole fish
will still be slightly frozen at the end of the defrost programme.
We recommend that you let the food stand for a period of time
at least equal to the defrosting time to ensure an even
temperature.
Food covered with ice crystals will take longer to defrost. In this
case, you should increase the defrosting time.
Recommendations:
The defrosting time depends on the type of appliance. It
also depends on the shape, size, starting temperature and
quality of the food.
In most cases, the food must be removed from its packaging.
Remember to remove any metal staples from the packaging.
Half way through defrosting, the pieces of food should be
turned over, stirred and separated if they were frozen together.
Defrost meat or fish by putting it on an upside-down saucer on
top of a plate to allow the juices to run. If they stay in contact
with the food, it will overheat.
Never refreeze food before cooking it.
MULTI-LEVEL
programme
The circulating heat + micro-wave cooking mode
combines microwave cooking with circulating heat
cooking, which saves you considerable time. The
