The cooking times given in recipes and in this booklet correspond to the specific power level indicated.

MEDIUM

HIGH DEFROST

50 min.

LOW DEFROST

The maximum time available per power level is shown in the table above.

A defrosting time can be set up to 50 min. But the time is reduced to 25 min (for HIGH) or 40 min (for MEDIUM or LOW) the moment you change the current power level (DEFROST) to other level such as HIGH, MEDIUM or LOW.

Example: If you set a defrosting time to 45min with the heating mode at DEFROST and if you change the power level to HIGH, the time will be automatically reduced to 25min.

You can set the power level first and the cooking time next, and vice versa.
