power to use by percent, name or number. For example,
70%=7=Medium-High.
Use the following chart as a general guide for the suggested
cooking power of specific foods.
MICROWAVE COOKING POWER CHART
Cook Sensor
During the Sensor Cook function, a sensor automatically adjusts
for the cook time and power level.
The microwave oven display will show the time countdown once
the sensor identifies the cooking duration.
If the microwave oven door is opened during a sensor function,
the microwave oven will turn off and any additional operations
will be canceled.
For best cooking performance:
Before using a sensor cook function, make sure power has been
supplied to the microwave oven for at least 2 minutes, the room
temperature is not above 95°F (35°C), and the outside of the
cooking container and the microwave oven cavity are dry.
