NOTES:
• To check the microwave power level during
cooking/defrosting press the MICROWAVE
POWER LEVEL button. The power level will be
displayed as long as the button is pressed. This
does not affect the programme or cooking time.
• Power level: The microwave power level is
varied by the microwave energy switching on
and off. When using the power levels other than
HIGH (100%) you will be able to hear the
microwave energy pulsing on and off as the food
cooks or defrosts.
Model R-772M has a microwave output power of
900 Watts; heating category E.
The heating category (a letter A to E) was
developed by MAFF (Ministry of Agriculture,
Fisheries and Food) with microwave oven and food
manufacturers and indicates the ability of the oven
to heat small quantities of food (up to 500g [1lb
2oz]). It does not represent the general
performance of the oven.
Food packs carry cooking instructions for heating
categories A to E. Follow instructions for the letter
corresponding to the oven's heating category.
The higher the output power and heating category
of the oven the less heating time is required.
