If “P0” is selected, the oven will work with
the
fan but no power. You can use this
level to remove the odor.
Generally the following recommendations apply:
- (HIGH) used for fast cooking or reheating
e.g. for casseroles, hot beverages, vegetables etc.
- (MEDIUM HIGH) used for longer cooking of
dense foods such as roasts, 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.
- (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.
- (MEDIUM LOW) 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) For gentle defrosting, e.g. cream
gateaux or pastry.

TIME DEFROST
This function quickly defrosts food while enabling you to choose a suitable defrost period, depending on the food type. Follow the example

Notes for Time Defrost:
• The preset microwave power level can not be changed.
• Before freezing foods, ensure food is fresh and of good quality.
• If necessary, shield small areas of meat or poultry with fl at pieces of aluminium foil. This will prevent the areas from becoming warm
during defrosting. Ensure the foil does not touch the oven walls.
• After defrosting an audible signal will sound fi ve times and the LED will then display the time of day, if the clock has been set. If the clock
has not been set, the display will only show "0:00" when defrosting is complete.
