MICROWAVE OPERATION
MICROWAVE COOKING
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 the cooking time
as shown in the table.
MANUAL DEFROSTING
For manual defrosting (without operating the Auto defrost feature), use 270 W. The defrost symbol appears in the window
display whenever the power level is selected.
MICROWAVE POWER LEVELS
Your oven has 5 power levels:
900 W/HIGH Used for fast cooking or reheating (e.g. soup,
casseroles, canned food, hot beverages, vegetables, fish).
630 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.
Example:
To heat soup for 2 minutes and 30 seconds on 630 W microwave power.

450 W For dense foods which require a long cooking time when
cooked conventionally (e.g. beef dishes) it is advisable to use
this power setting to ensure the meat will be tender.
270 W/DEFROST 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.
90 W For gentle defrosting (e.g. cream gateaux or pastry).
