Your oven has 5 power levels. To choose the power
level, follow the advice given in the recipe section.
Generally the following recommendations apply:
800 W
Used for fast cooking or reheating e.g. for plated
meals, hot beverages, vegetables, fish, etc.
560 W
For longer cooking of dense foods such as roast joints.
For sensitive dishes, such as cheese sauce, reduce the
microwave power setting. At a reduced setting, the
dishes will not boil over and meat will cook evenly
without over cooking at the sides.
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.
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.
80 W
For gentle defrosting, eg. of cream gateaux, you
should select the lowest power setting.
