MICROWAVING - INTRODUCTION
Water, sugar and fat in food absorbs the microwaves
and causes them to vibrate. This creates heat by
friction, in the same way your hands get warm when
you rub them together.
The outer areas of food are heated by microwave
energy and the remaining portions by conduction. It is
important to
turn , rearrange or stir food to ensure
even heating. Where recommended, allow food to
stand, this is not optional but is
necessary to ensure
thorough cooking. It is particularly important for dense
food, such as joints of meat.
NOTES:
• Microwaves pass through non-metallic dishes and
utensils and heat the food inside the dishes.
• Microwaves are reflected by metal.
• The oven is lined with metal and has a fine metallic
mesh in the door to prevent microwave leakage.
• Metallic dishes are not suitable for microwaving.
• See SUITABLE COOKWARE, page 24-25.

MICROWAVE POWER LEVELS
To operate the microwave function:
• Enter the required cooking/defrosting time.
• Select the power level by pressing the
MICROWAVE POWER LEVEL key.
There are 5 microwave power levels (see below).
• Press START/AUTO MINUTE key.
IMPORTANT:
The microwave power level will default to 100% (HIGH)
unless you press the
MICROWAVE POWER LEVEL key
to the desired setting. To help you decide which power
level is suitable, refer to the charts in the Cookery Book.
NOTES:
•
To check the microwave power level during
cooking/defrosting press the
MICROWAVE
POWER LEVEL key. The power level will be
displayed as long as the key is pressed. This
does not affect the programme or cooking time.
• Power level: The microwave power level is
varied by the microwave energy switching on
and off. When using the power levels other than
100% (HIGH) you will be able to hear the
microwave energy pulsing on and off as the
food cooks or defrosts.
