MICROWAVE POWER LEVELS
ENGLISH
Your oven has 5 power levels. To choose the power
level for cooking, follow the advice given in the recipe
section. Generally the following recommendations
apply.
800 WATT (800P)100
%. Used for fast cooking or
reheating, eg: for plated meals, hot beverages,
vegetables, fish, etc.
560 WATT (560P) 70%
. For longer cooking of
dense foods such as roast joints. For sensitive dishes,
eg: cheese sauce, reduce the power setting. At a
reduced setting, the dishes will not boil over and meat
will cook evenly without over cooking at the sides.
400 WATT (400P) 50%
. For dense foods which
require a long cooking time when prepared
conventionally, eg: beef dishes, it is advisable to
reduce the power setting and increase the cooking
time. In this way the meat will be more tender.

240 WATT (240P) 30%
. To defrost, select a low
power setting. This ensures that the dish defrosts
evenly. This setting is also ideal for simmering rice,
pasta and dumplings.
80 WATT (80P) 10%
. For gentle defrosting, eg:
cream gateaux, you should select the lowest power
setting.
