Oven Operation
The Variable Power Feature
The oven includes 10 Power settings from
100% ("HI") to 10% output I i 1 which
represents the warm setting. The 100%
setting provides the greatest speed of
microwave cooking. The settings between
100% and 10% represent decreasing
amounts of microwave speed in
increments of 10%. The cookbook supplied
with your oven describes which setting to
use for each type of food.
This feature gives you total flexibility in
choosing the speed (or microwave power)
of cooking which will give you the best
result for each type of food. As with
conventional cooking, some foods require
slower or more gentle microwave cooking.
Other foods need to cook slower so heat
from the outside has enough time to
conduct into the centre of the food.
Variable Power gives you the flexibility to
choose the microwave speed that is right
for the food you're cooking.
