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:
100 P
(800 W) used for fast cooking or reheating
e.g. soup, casseroles, canned food, hot beverages,
vegetables, fish, etc.
70 P
(560 W) 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.
50 P
(400 W) 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.
30 P
(240 W) 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.
10 P
(80 W) For gentle defrosting, eg. cream
gateaux or pastry.
P = Percentage.
To set the power, touch the
MICROWAVE POWER LEVEL
button until the desired level is displayed. If
MICROWAVE POWER LEVEL
button is touched once, will be displayed. If you miss your desired level,
continue touching the
MICROWAVE POWER LEVEL
button until you reach the level again.
If the level is not
selected, the level 100 P is automatically set.
