•  Check the power level
To check the microwave power level during

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.
