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
