MANUAL COOKING

power levels 10% to 100% to cook (refer to
page 7).
• Stir or turn the food, where possible, 2 - 3
times during cooking, if required.

Your oven enables you to cook and defrost food
using the automatic programmes, or to cook and
defrost food manually.
Automatic cooking and defrosting allows you to
cook and defrost using preset programmes
where the timings have been calculated for you,
e.g Express Cook and Express Defrost.
Manual cooking and defrosting allows you to
cook/defrost foods and weights which are not
included in the automatic programmes.
The following are examples of manual cooking
and defrosting.
For automatic cooking and defrosting refer to
pages 17 - 21.
