MICROWAVE POWER LEVEL

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:
100P (800 W) used for fast cooking or reheating e.g.
for plated meals, hot beverages, vegetables, fish, etc.
70P (560 W) For longer cooking of dense foods such
as roast joints. For sensitive dishes, eg. cheese sauce,
reduce the power setting. At a reduced setting, the
dishes will not boil over and meat will cook evenly
without over cooking at the sides.
To set the microwave power level :
Rotate the TIMER/WEIGHT/POWER knob clockwise to select cooking time.
Press the COOKING MODE button once (microwave only).
To change the microwave power level rotate the knob until the desired power level is reached.
Press the +1min/START button.
NOTE: If the power level is not selected, 100P is automatically set.
50P (400 W) For dense foods which require a long
cooking time when prepared conventionally, eg. beef
dishes, it is advisable to reduce the power setting and
increase the cooking time. In this way, the meat will
be more tender.
30P (240 W DEFROST SETTING). To defrost, select a
low power setting. This ensures that the dish defrosts
evenly. This setting is also ideal for simmering rice,
pasta and dumplings.
10P (80 W) For gentle defrosting, eg. cream
gateaux, you should select the lowest power setting.
