• 

If “P0” is selected, the oven will work with the 

fan but no power. You can use this level to 

remove the odor.

Generally the following recommendations apply:

 - (HIGH) used for fast cooking or reheating 

e.g. for casseroles, hot beverages, vegetables etc.

 - (MEDIUM HIGH) used for longer cooking of 

dense foods such as roasts, meat loaf and plated meals, 

also for sensitive dishes such as sponge cakes. 

At this reduced setting, the food will cook evenly 

without over cooking at the sides.

 - (MEDIUM) for dense foods which require a 

long cooking time when cooked conventionally, e.g. 

beef casserole, it is advisable to use this power setting 

to ensure the meat will be tender.

 - (MEDIUM LOW) 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.

 - (LOW) For gentle defrosting, e.g. cream 

gateaux or pastry.
