MICROWAVE POWER LEVELS
For best results, some recipes call for different cook
powers. The lower the cook power, the slower the
cooking. Each number from 1 to 9 stands for a
different percentage of full cook power.
The following chart gives the percentage of cook
power each number pad stands for, and the cook
power name usually used.
It also tells you when to use each cook power. Follow
recipe or food package instructions if available.
NOTE: Refer to a reliable cookbook for cooking times
based on the 1000 Watt cook power of your microwave
oven.
