Generally the following recommendations apply:
100P/ 90P
- (HIGH) used for fast cooking or reheating
e.g. for casseroles, hot beverages, vegetables etc.
80P/ 70P
- (MEDIUM HIGH) used for longer cooking of dense
foods such as roast joints, 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.
60P/ 50P
- (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.
40P/ 30P
- (MEDIUM LOW) to defrost, select this power
setting, to ensure that the dish defrosts evenly. This
setting is also ideal for simmering rice, pasta, dump-
lings and cooking egg custard.
20P/ 10P
- (LOW) For gentle defrosting, e.g. cream ga-
teaux or pastry.
Plug in the oven. The oven display will display: “0:00”, an audible signal will sound once.
If the electrical power supply to your microwave oven is interrupted, the display will intermittently show “0:00” after
been set, the display will only show “0:00” when cooking is complete.
