MICROWAVE POWER LEVELS
To set the microwave power level :
1. Rotate the
TIMER/WEIGHT/PORTION
knob clockwise or counter-clockwise to select cooking time.
2. Press the
MICROWAVE POWER LEVEL
button until the desired power level appears on the display. (If the
MICROWAVE POWER LEVEL
button is touched once,
will be displayed. If you miss your
desire level, continue pressing the
MICROWAVE POWER LEVEL
button until you reach the level
again).
3. Press the
+1min/START
button.
NOTE:
If the power level is not selected, 100 P is automatically set.
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
- (HIGH output = 900 W) used for fast
cooking or reheating e.g. soup, casseroles, canned
food, hot beverages, vegetables, fish, etc.
70 P
- (MEDIUM HIGH output = 630 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
- (MEDIUM output = 450 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
- (MEDIUM LOW output = 270 W 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.
10 P
- (LOW output = 90 W) For gentle
defrosting, eg. cream gateaux or pastry.
P = PERCENTAGE
