SETTING THE POWER LEVEL
Variable power levels add flexibility to
microwave cooking. Each power level
gives you microwave energy a certain
percent of the time, for example, Power
Level 3 is microwave energy 30% of the
time. Power Level 10 will cook faster but
food may need more frequent stirring,
rotating or turning over. A lower setting
will cook more evenly and need less
stirring or rotating of the food. Some
foods may have better flavor, texture or
appearance if one of the lower settings
is used. Use a lower power level when
cooking foods that have a tendency to
boil over, such as scalloped potatoes.
Rest periods (when the microwave
energy cycles off) give time for the
food to transfer heat to the inside of
the food. An example of this is with the
defrost cycle (Power Level 3). If the
microwave energy did not cycle off, the
outside of the food would cook before
the inside was defrosted.
1. Press the Power Level button.
2. Turn the dial to select the power level.
3. Press the Start/+30 sec/Select
button to enter.
