Choosing the right microwave
cooking power
The 6 possible cooking powers act like the
thermostat of a traditional oven to control the
speed of cooking. Some dishes - for example
soups and stews - need different cooking
powers to be used (MAX for 10 minutes to
bring the food to the boil, before continuing the
cooking process for one hour at 250W). Your
oven allows you to use 3 consecutive stages of
cooking (see directions for use).
NOTES: (1) Whilst the food is cooking, you can
extend the cooking time by pressing the 1 min
pad.
(2) The maximum duration using MAX power is
30 minutes. - The maximum duration using
Defrost mode is 99 minutes 50 seconds.
The EXPRESS function allows you to start
cooking at MAX power immediately, simply by
choosing the cooking time and pressing Start.
Note: This chart is for cooking using microwaves only. Refer to page 10 for instructions for
combination cooking.
