will be able to hear the microwave energy 
pulsing on and off as the food cooks or defrosts.

IMPORTANT: The microwave power level will

 key.

To check the microwave power level during 
cooking, press the 

 key. As

 key 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.
