Your oven has 6 power levels. To choose the power
level for cooking, follow the advice given in the recipe
section. Generally the following recommendations
apply:
100 P (800 W) used for fast cooking or reheating
e.g. soup, casseroles, canned food, hot beverages,
vegetables, fish, etc.
70 P (560 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 (400 W) for dense foods which require a long
cooking time when cooked conventionally, e.g. beef
dishes, it is advisable to use this power setting to ensure
the meat will be tender.
30 P (240 W) 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 (80 W) For gentle defrosting, e.g. cream gateaux
or pastry.
0 P (0 W)
P = Percentage.
To set the power, touch the MICROWAVE POWER LEVEL button until the desired level is displayed. If MICROWAVE
POWER LEVEL button is touched once,
will be displayed. If you miss your desired level, continue touching
the MICROWAVE POWER LEVEL button until you reach the level again. If the level is not selected, the level
100 P is automatically set.
Check the display.
