Power Level Guidelines
Each power level gives you halogen lamp power and microwave energy for a certain percentage of the
time.
For example:
• U=07 Upper halogen lamp on 70% of the time.
• L=07 Lower halogen lamp on 70% of the time.
• M=05 Microwave on 50% of the time.
Follow these general standards when selecting the best upper, lower and micro power settings. Be
careful when adjusting power levels so that you do not over or undercook your food.
(U=) UPPER HALOGEN LAMP
• Select a higher setting for foods requiring a golden brown top (example: fish fillets, toast,
boneless chicken breasts).
• Select a lower setting for thicker foods and foods with high sugar or fat content (examples: cakes,
roasts).
(L=) LOWER HALOGEN LAMP
• Select a higher setting for thick or dense foods that may not cook quickly in the center (example:
casseroles).
• Select a lower setting for thin foods (example: cookies) and foods containing high fat or sugar
content (example: pastry, cakes).
(M=) MICROWAVE
• Select a higher setting to shorten cooking time for dense or heavy foods (example: casseroles,
whole chicken).
• Select a lower setting for delicate foods (examples: cakes, breads, souffles) or foods requiring
longer cook times for tender results (example: stew, pot roast).
