MICROWAVE POWER

Your microwave has a power of 900 W and five power settings. To select the required power level consult the recipe guide.

In general we recommend the following:

100 % Power = 900 Watt

Used to cook or heat up quickly, e.g. ready meals, hot drinks, vegetables, fish etc.

70 % Power = 630 Watt

Reduce the power to achieve longer cooking times when compact food such as roasts, or delicate foods such as cheese sauce. At the lower power setting liquids do not boil over, and meat cooks evenly, without overcooking at the edges.

50 % Power = 450 Watt

For compact foods that require longer cooking times by conventional methods, e.g. beef casseroles, we recommend that you reduce the power and increase the cooking time. This makes the meat more tender.

30 % Power = 270 Watt

Select this power llevel to defrost. This ensures that the food defrosts evenly. This level is also ideal for simmering rice, noodles and dumplings.

10 % Power = 90 Watt

This level is used for defrosting delicate foods (which must not get hot) e.g. cream cakes.
