Choosing The Right Microwave Cooking Power - Panasonic NN-CT569M Operating Instructions Manual

Choosing the right microwave
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.
