MICROWAVE POWERLEVEL
Your oven has 5 power levels. To choose the power level for cooking, follow the advice given in the recipe section. Generally the following recommendations apply:
800 W used for fast cooking or reheating e.g. soup, casseroles, canned food, hot beverages, vegetables, fish, etc.
560 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.
400 W for dense foods which require a long cooking time when cooked conventionally, eg. beef dishes, it is advisable to use this power setting to ensure the meat will be tender.
240 W 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.
80 W For gentle defrosting, eg. cream gateaux or pastry.
W = WATT.
To set the power, touch the MICROWAVE POWER LEVEL button until the desired level is displayed.
If MICROWAVE POWER LEVEL button is touched once, will be displayed. If you miss your desired level, continue touching the MICROWAVE POWER LEVEL button until you reach the level again.
If the level is not selected, the level 800 W is automatically set.

Your oven can be programmed for up to 90 minutes. (90.00) The input unit of cooking (defrosting) time varies from 10 seconds to five minutes. It depends on the total length of the cooking (defrosting) time as shown on the table.
