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:
900 W
(100 % output) used for fast cooking or
reheating e.g. soup, casseroles, canned food, hot
beverages, vegetables, fish, etc.
630 W
(70 % output) 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.
450 W
(50 % output) 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.
270 W
(30 % output, 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.
90 W
(10 % output) For gentle defrosting, eg.
cream gateaux or pastry.
