Power Output Description
100% High
88% M.High
73% Med
52% M.Low
42% Defrost
20% Low

4 Operation

4.2 Operating instructions

To start a cooking session,

1. Place food into oven and close the door.
2. Turn Power Selector to select a power level.
3. Use Timer knob to set a cooking time.

As soon as the timer is turned, oven starts cooking. When selecting time for less than 2 minutes, turn timer past 2 minutes and then return to the correct time.

This requirement is not applicable if the manufacturer specifies size and shape of metallic containers suitable for microwave cooking.
2. Microwave cannot penetrate metal, so metal utensils or dishes with metallic trim should not be used.
3. Do not use recycled paper products when microwave cooking, as they may contain small metal fragments which may cause sparks and/or fires.
4. Round /oval dishes rather than square/oblong ones are recommend, as food in corners tends to overcook.
5. Narrow strips of aluminum foil may be used to prevent overcooking of exposed areas. But be careful don't use too much and keep a distance of 1 inch (2.54cm) between foil and cavity. The list below is a general guide to help you select the correct utensils.
