Microwave Power Levels; Microwave Cooking - Sharp R-204 Manual De Instrucciones

There are 6 microwave power levels available as listed below.
The microwave power level is varied by the microwave energy switching on and off. When
using power levels other than HIGH(100%) you will be able to hear the microwave energy
pulsing on the off as the food cooks or defrosts.
Generally the following recommendations apply:
800 WATT = HIGH - used for fast cooking or
reheating e.g. for casseroles, hot beverages,
vegetables etc.
700 WATT = MEDIUM HIGH used for longer
cooking of dense foods such as roast joints,
meat loaf and plated meals, also for sensi-
tive dishes such as sponge cakes. At this
reduced setting, the food will cook evenly
without over cooking at the sides.
580 WATT = MEDIUM - for dense foods
which require a long cooking time when
cooked conventionally, e.g. beef casserole,
1. Prepare and place food in a suitable container (refer to " SUITABLE OVENWARE " give on
page GB-18), position food/container directly onto the middle of the turntable. Close the
door.
2. Turn the MICROWAVE POWER dial control to the desired setting; any one of the six mi-
crowave power levels.
3. Turn the TIMER/ DEFROST dial control to the desired cooking/defrosting time and the
oven will start automatically.
4. When cooking/defrosting is complete, the TIMER/ DEFROST dial control returns to " 0
" zero and the signal will sound. The oven lamp will turn off automatically and the turn-
table stops rotating. Open the oven door, remove the food/ container carefully. Leave
food to stand as required.
COOKING HINTS
When the oven starts, the oven lamp will light and the turntable will rotate clockwise.
If you wish to stop cooking before the cooking time has elapsed, turn the TIMER/ DEFROST
dial control back to " 0 "(off ), or open the oven door. The oven door may be opened at any
time during cooking. To continue cooking, close the door. If you wish to change the cook-
ing time during cooking, simply turn the TIME/ DEFROST dial control to the desired new
setting.
When cooking/defrosting for less than 3 minutes, turn the TIMER/DEFROST dial control
past the 10 minute mark, and then back to the desired setting. The timer will then run more
accurately.
To change the power level during cooking, turn the MICROWAVE POWER dial control to the
