Heating with Lower Power Levels

with does not always give the best results

cooking, such as roasts, baked goods or
custards. Your Oven has nine other power
levels you may choose.

power:
1. Press Microwave pad.
2. Use the number pads to enter desired
heating time (cook time may be set up to
99 minutes and 99 seconds).
3. Press Power Level pad once for power
level 10 (100% power).
4. Use the number key to change the power
level to 7. PL7 appears in the display
(70 % power).
5. Touch START/+30SEC. pad.
When heating has finished you will hear
beeps.
