MICROWAVE POWER LEVELS
To set the microwave power level :
Rotate the TIMER/WEIGHT/POWER knob clockwise or counter-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 START/+30 button.
NOTE: If the power level is not selected, 900 W 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:
900 W used for fast cooking or reheating e.g.
soup, casseroles, canned food, hot beverages,
vegetables, fish, etc.
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.
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.
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.
90 W For gentle defrosting, eg. cream gateaux or
pastry.
