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 (800 P) 100 %
used for fast
cooking or reheating e.g. soup, casseroles,
canned food, hot beverages, vegetables, fish, etc.
560 WATT (560 P) 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.
P = POWER
400 WATT (400 P) 50 %
for dense foods which
require a long cooking time when cooked
conventionally, e.g. beef dishes, it is advisable to
use this power setting to ensure the meat will be
tender.
240 WATT (240 P) 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.
80 WATT (80 P) 10 %
For gentle defrosting, eg.
cream gateaux or pastry.
