MICROWAVE POWER LEVELS
There are 5 microwave power levels available as listed below.
The microwave power level is varied by the microwave energy switching on and off . When using power levels other
than HIGH (100%) you will be able to hear the microwave energy pulsing on and off as the food cooks or defrosts.
Generally the following recommendations apply:
800 WATT = HIGH - used for fast cooking or reheating
e.g. for casseroles, hot beverages, vegetables etc.
620 WATT = MEDIUM HIGH - used for longer cook-
ing of dense foods such as roast joints, meat loaf and
plated meals, also for sensitive dishes such as sponge
cakes. At this reduced setting, the food will cook evenly
without over cooking at the sides.
440 WATT = MEDIUM - for dense foods which require
a long cooking time when cooked conventionally, e.g.
beef casserole, it is advisable to use this power setting
to ensure the meat will be tender.
260 WATT
= MEDIUM LOW - 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.
130 WATT = LOW - for gentle defrosting, e.g. cream
gateaux or pastry.
MICROWAVE COOKING
COOKING HINTS:
When the oven starts, the oven lamp will light and the turntable will rotate clockwise or anticlockwise.
If you wish to stop cooking before the cooking time has elapsed, turn the
TIMER/ DEFROST GUIDE knob back to “0”
(off ), or open the oven door. The oven door may be opened at any time during cooking. To continue cooking, close
the door. If you wish to change the cooking time during cooking, simply turn the
TIMER/ DEFROST GUIDE
knob to
the desired new setting.
When cooking/defrosting for less than 3 minutes, turn the
TIMER/ DEFROST GUIDE knob past the 10 minute mark,
and then back to the desired setting. The timer will then run more accurately.
To change the power level during cooking, turn the
MICROWAVE POWER CONTROL knob to the desired setting.
WARNING:
Ensure the TIMER/ DEFROST GUIDE is returned to “0” zero position at the end of cooking, or the oven will start au-
tomatically when the oven door is closed.
IMPORTANT:
• If you cook the food over the standard time with only 800 W, the power of the oven will lower automatically to
avoid overheating. (The microwave power level will be reduced).
Cooking Mode Standard time
Microwave 100 P 30 minutes
1. Prepare and place food in a suitable container (refer to “SUITABLE OVENWARE” given on page EN- 19), position
food/container directly onto the middle of the turntable. Close the door.
2. Turn the MICROWAVE POWER CONTROL knob to the desired setting; any one of the fi ve microwave power
levels.
3.
Turn the
TIMER/ DEFROST GUIDE
knob to the desired cooking/defrosting time and the oven will start
automatically.
4. When cooking/defrosting is complete, the TIMER/ DEFROST GUIDE returns to “0” zero and the signal will
sound. The oven lamp will turn off automatically and the turntable stops rotating. Open the oven door,
remove the food/container carefully. Leave food to stand as required.

SUITABLE OVENWARE
DEFROSTING GUIDE
This guide is designed to make defrosting specifi c foods easier.
It can be used for defrosting: Chicken portions, chops, fi sh (whole or fi llets), minced meat and sausages.
Example: To defrost 0.4 kg of chicken portions:
1. Place chicken portions in a fla t dish, and place on the turntable into the oven.
2.
Turn the
MICROWAVE POWER CONTROL
knob to DEFROST setting (MEDIUM LOW).
3. Turn the TIMER/ DEFROST GUIDE to 0.4 kg setting. The oven will start immediately. Turn the chicken
por-tions over 1-2 times during defrosting.
4.
After defrosting, cover the food in foil and leave to stand until thoroughly defrosted.
Note:
The defrosting time is based on standard conditions. Please check the defrosting result and, if necessary, ad-
just the defrosting times accordingly.
To cook/defrost food in a microwave oven, the microwave energy must be able to pass through the container to
penetrate the food. Therefore it is important to choose suitable cookware.
Round/oval dishes are preferable to square/oblong ones, as the food in the corners tends to overcook. A variety
of cookware can be used as listed below.

Comments
Aluminium foil
Foil Containers
✔
/
✘
Small pieces of aluminium foil can be used to shield food from overheating.
Keep foil at least 2 cm from the oven walls, as arcing may occur.
Foil containers are not recommended unless specified by the
manufacturer, e.g. Microfoil ®, follow instructions carefully.
Browning dishes
✔
Always follow the manufacturers instructions.
Do not exceed heating times given. Be very careful as these dishes
become very hot.
China and ceramics

lead to fi re.
Plastic/Polystyrene e.g
fast food containers
✔
Care must be taken as some containers warp, melt or discolour at high
temperatures.
Cling fi lm

Must be pierced to let steam escape. Ensure bags are suitable for
microwave use.
Paper - Plates, cups
and kitchen paper
✔
Do not use plastic or metal ties, as they may melt or catch fi re due to the
metal ‘arcing’.
