• For use of the power levels, please refer to the
cooking charts and recipes on pages 21 - 32.
• Check the power level
To check the microwave power level during
cooking, press the POWER LEVEL button. As
long as your finger is pressing the POWER
LEVEL 
button the power level will be displayed.
The oven continues to count down although the
display will show the power level.
Generally the following recommendations apply:
100P - (HIGH output = 800W) used for fast
cooking or reheating e.g. for casseroles, hot
beverages, vegetables etc.
70P - (MEDIUM HIGH output = 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.
50P - (MEDIUM output = 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.
30P - (MEDIUM LOW output = 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.
10P - (LOW output = 80W) For gentle
defrosting, eg. cream gateaux or pastry.
