Microwave power settings

always correspond to the exact wattage that the
appliance uses.

The appliance suggests a cooking time for each
microwave level. You can accept this value or change it
in the relevant area.

only; it is not designed for heating food. After a certain
period, the microwave's maximum power is gradually
reduced to 600 W to protect the appliance. Full power
is made available again after a cooling period.
