AEG EX 30LF - Manual (Page 8)

The cooking guide on the appliance is a
general reminder. For more detailed information
please see the charts on pages 14-17.
Cooking time
The cooking time depends on the quantity of
food to be cooked. For example, one cup of
soup will be heated in one minute, whereas five
cups require five minutes. Reason: the oven
has to provide five times the energy which
means that it has to work five time as long.
See guidelines in the charts on
pages 14-17.
How to cook with time, variable power and the
food sensor/temperature________________________
Variable power
The amount of heat required to cook, heat or
defrost food will vary according to the texture
and quantity of food to be cooked.
The variable power enables you to increase or
decrease the amount of heat similar to the
various settings you have on your conventional
cooker.
The settings on your microwave oven are given
in % (percentage).
Highest setting 100% = 700 Watts.
On setting 50% the oven cooks on half the
power (350 Watts).
Generally, cooking is started with 100% power
and finished with reduced power G^0%-20<M^.
To heat food settings between 30-80% are
used. The defrost setting is 30%.
The charts on pages 14-17 provide guidelines
how to use the various settings.
Cooking with temperature
The food sensor takes the guesswork out of
cooking, heating or wanfning various foods.
When the food sensor probe is located in the
food and the plug inserted in the plug socket
in the oven, the oven cooks by measuring the
internal temperature of the food you have
selected.
After the set temperature has been reached
the oven automatically switches off the micro-
wave power.
The food sensor enables you to cook for
instance beef to “medium" time after time
without the risk of overcooking it and on the
other hand it ensures that you roast pork is
cooked through completely.
Allow food to stand for 5 to 10 minutes after it
is taken from the oven for the heat to equalise.
