MICROWAVE POWER LEVEL
BEFORE OPERATION
Plug in the oven. The oven display will be blinking ":"
Note: Please note that this model does NOT have a clock function.
But it uses less than 0.5 W in stand by mode.
Generally the following recommendations apply:
P100/90 - (HIGH output = 800/720W) used for
fast cooking or reheating e.g. for casseroles, hot
beverages, vegetables etc.
P80/70 - (MEDIUM HIGH output = 640/560W) used
for longer cooking 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.
P60/50 - (MEDIUM output =480/400W) 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.
P40/30 - (MEDIUM LOW output = 320/240W 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.
P20/10 - (LOW output = 160/80W) For gentle
defrosting, e.g. cream gateaux or pastry.
IMPORTANT: The microwave power level will
default to P100 unless you press the POWER LEVEL
key.
• Your oven has 10 power levels, as shown.
• To change the power level for cooking, press the
POWER LEVEL key until the display indicates the
desired level and then enter the required time.
Press the START/+1min key to start the oven.
Power level
The microwave power level is varied by the
microwave energy switching on and off.
When using power levels other than P100 you will
be able to hear the microwave energy pulsing on
and off as the food cooks or defrosts.

To check the microwave power level during
cooking, press the POWER LEVEL key. As long as
your finger is pressing the POWER LEVEL key the
power level will be displayed.
The oven continues to count down although the
display will show the power level.
