MICROWAVE POWER LEVELS
There are 5 microwave power levels available as listed below.
The microwave power level is varied by the microwave energy switching on and o . When using power levels other
than HIGH (100%) you will be able to hear the microwave energy pulsing on and o as the food cooks or defrosts.
Generally the following recommendations apply:
900 WATT = HIGH - used for fast cooking or reheating e.g. for casseroles, hot beverages, vegetables etc.
693 WATT = MEDIUM HIGH - used for longer cooking of dense foods such as roast joints, meat loaf and plated meals,
also for sensitive dishes such as sponge cakes. At this reduced setting, the food will cook evenly without over cooking
at the sides.
495 WATT = MEDIUM - for dense foods which require a long cooking time when cooked conventionally, e.g. beef
casserole, it is advisable to use this power setting to ensure the meat will be tender.
297 WATT = MEDIUM LOW - 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.
153 WATT = LOW - for gentle defrosting, e.g. cream gateaux or pastry.
