Reduced cooking time = total cooking time x reduce factor.

Your oven has 6 power levels. To choose the power
level for cooking, follow the advice given in the
recipe section. Generally the following
recommendations apply:
100 %
- used for fast cooking or reheating e.g.
soup, casseroles, canned food, hot beverages,
vegetables, fish, etc.
70 %
- 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.
50 %
- for dense foods which require a long
cooking time when cooked conventionally, eg. beef
dishes, it is advisable to use this power setting to
ensure the meat will be tender.
30 %
- (Defrost setting) 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.
10 %
- for gentle defrosting, eg. cream gateaux or
pastry.
0 %
- for setting standing time.
No microwave power.
