Generally the following recommendations apply:

P100 - (HIGH output = 900W) used for fast cooking or 
reheating e.g. for casseroles, hot beverages, vegetables 
etc.
P80 - (MEDIUM HIGH output = 720W) used for longer 
cooking of dense foods such as roast joints, meat loaf 
and plated meals, also for sensitive dishes such as 
sponge cakes. At this reduced setting, the food will 
cook evenly without over cooking at the sides.
P50 - (MEDIUM output = 450W ) for dense foods 
which require a long cooking time when cooked 

conventionally, e.g. beef casserole, it is advisable to use 
this power setting to ensure the meat will be tender.
P30 - (MEDIUM LOW output = 270W 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.
P10 - (LOW output = 90W) for gentle defrosting, e.g. 
cream gateaux or pastry.
