MICROWAVE POWER LEVELS
There are 5 microwave power levels available as listed below.
The microwave power level is varied by the microwave energy switching on and o. When using power levels other
than HIGH (100%) you will be able to hear the microwave energy pulsing on and o as the food cooks or defrosts.
Generally the following recommendations apply:
800 WATT = HIGH - used for fast cooking or reheating
e.g. for casseroles, hot beverages, vegetables etc.
620 WATT = MEDIUM HIGH - used for longer cook-
ing 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.
440 WATT = MEDIUM - 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.
260 WATT = MEDIUM LOW - 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.
130 WATT = LOW - for gentle defrosting, e.g. cream
gateaux or pastry.
MICROWAVE COOKING
COOKING HINTS:
When the oven starts, the oven lamp will light and the turntable will rotate clockwise or anticlockwise.
If you wish to stop cooking before the cooking time has elapsed, turn the TIMER/ DEFROST GUIDE knob back to “0”
(o), or open the oven door. The oven door may be opened at any time during cooking. To continue cooking, close
the door. If you wish to change the cooking time during cooking, simply turn the TIMER/ DEFROST GUIDE knob to
the desired new setting.
When cooking/defrosting for less than 3 minutes, turn the TIMER/ DEFROST GUIDE knob past the 10 minute mark,
and then back to the desired setting.The timer will then run more accurately.
To change the power level during cooking, turn the MICROWAVE POWER CONTROL knob to the desired setting.
WARNING:
Ensure the TIMER/ DEFROST GUIDE is returned to“0”zero position at the end of cooking, or the oven will start au-
tomatically when the oven door is closed.
IMPORTANT:
• If you cook the food over the standard time with only 800 W, the power of the oven will lower automatically to
avoid overheating. (The microwave power level will be reduced).
Cooking Mode Standard time
Microwave 100 P 30 minutes
1. Prepare and place food in a suitable container (refer to “SUITABLE OVENWARE” given on page EN-19), position
