To defrost foods not included in the Auto Defrost menu, use microwave power levels 30P (MEDIUM LOW) or
10P (LOW). Stir or turn food at least 2-3 times during defrosting.
After defrosting, cover food or wrap in aluminium foil and leave to stand until thoroughly defrosted. Refer to the
defrosting charts in the cookbook section of this manual.

DEFROSTING
Power level:
The microwave power level is varied
by the microwave energy switching on and off.
When using power levels other than 100P (HIGH)
you will be able to hear the microwave energy
pulsing on and off as the food cooks or defrosts.
IMPORTANT:
The microwave power level will default
to 100P (HIGH) unless you press the
MICRO/GRILL/DUAL
key to the desired setting.
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:
HIGH
- (100P output = 900W) used for fast
cooking or reheating e.g. for casseroles, hot
beverages, vegetables etc.
MEDIUM HIGH
- (70P output = 630W) 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.
MEDIUM
- (50P output = 450W) 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.
MEDIUM LOW
- (30P output = 270W 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.
LOW
- (10P output = 90W) For gentle defrosting,
eg. cream gateaux or pastry.
P = PERCENTAGE
To change the power level for cooking, enter the
required time and then press the
MICRO/GRILL/DUAL
key.
