Microwave power levels

Your oven has 5 power levels. To choose the power level for cooking, follow the
advice given in the recipe section. Generally the following recommendations apply:
Power Suggested use
setting
900 W used for fast cooking or reheating e.g. soup, casseroles, canned food, hot
beverages, vegetables, fish, etc.
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.
450 W for dense foods which require a long cooking time when cooked conventionally,
eg. beef dishes, it is advisable to use this power setting to ensure the meat will be
tender.
270 W (Defrost setting) 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, eg. cream gateaux or pastry.
