MICROWAVE OPERATION

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 cooking time as shown in the table.

Cooking time	Increasing unit
0-5 minutes	10 seconds
5-10 minutes	30 seconds
10-30 minutes	1 minute
30-90 minutes	5 minutes

Manual defrosting

For manual defrosting (without operating the Auto defrost feature), use 240 W. The defrost symbol appears in the window display whenever the power level is selected.

Microwave power levels

Your oven has 6 power levels:

Power	Suggested use
setting
800 W/	Used for fast cooking or reheating e.g. soup, casseroles, canned food, hot beverages, vegetables,
HIGH	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
DEFROST	ideal for simmering rice, pasta, dumplings and cooking egg custard.
80 W	For gentle defrosting, eg. cream gateaux or pastry.
0 W	For standing/kitchen timer.
