MICROWAVE POWER LEVELS
The microwave power level is varied by the microwave energy switching on and off . When using power levels other
than HIGH (100 %) you will be able to hear the microwave energy pulsing on and off as the food cook or defrosts.
These levels are selected by rotating the Power control knob to the desired setting. The knob will click in place when
moved to the required power position.
Power Setting
Recommend Cooking
For gentle defrosting, e.g. cream gateaux or pastry.
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.
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.
Used for longer cooking of dense foods such as roast joints, 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.
Used for fast cooking or reheating e.g. for casseroles, hot beverages, vegetables etc.
