the POWER LEVEL key until the display
indicates the desired level.
♦ Power level
The microwave power level is varied by the
microwave energy switching on and off.
When using power levels other than PlOO you
will be able to hear the microwave energy
pulsing on and off as the food cooks or defrosts.

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

Generally the following recommendations apply:
PI00/90-(HIGH output = 800/720W) used for
fast cooking or reheating e.g. for casseroles,
hot beverages, vegetables etc.
P 80 / 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, eg. beef casserole, it is advisable
to use this power setting to ensure the meat will be
tender.
P40/3&(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, eg. cream gateaux or pastry.
BEFORE OPERATION
