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
(900 W) used for fast cooking or reheating
e.g. soup, casseroles, canned food, hot beverages,
vegetables, fish, etc.
70 P
(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
(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
(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
(90 W) For gentle defrosting, eg. cream
gateaux or pastry.
