MICROWAVE COOKING

Your oven can be programmed for up to 90
minutes.The input unit of cooking time
varies from 10 seconds to five minutes. It
depends on the total length of the cooking
time as shown in the table.
MANUAL DEFROSTING
For manual defrosting (without operating the
Auto Defrost feature), use 270 W. The
defrost symbol appears in the window

MICROWAVE POWER LEVELS

Your oven has 6 power levels:
Power
setting
900 W/ Used for fast cooking or reheating e.g. soup, casseroles, canned food, hot beverages,
HIGH vegetables, fish, etc.
630 W Used for longer cooking of dense foods such as roast joints, meat loaf and plated meals,
also for sensitive dishes such as cheese sauce and sponge cakes. At this reduced
setting, the sauce will not boil over and food will cook evenly without over cooking at the
sides.
450 W For dense foods which require a long cooking time when cooked conventionally, e.g.
beef dishes, it is advisable to use this power setting to ensure the meat will be tender.
270 W/ To defrost, select this power setting, to ensure that the dish defrosts evenly. This
DEFROST setting is also ideal for simmering rice, pasta, dumplings and cooking egg custard.
90 W For gentle defrosting, eg. cream gateaux or pastry.
0 W For standing/kitchen timer.
W = WATT
