As you get to know your microwave oven, you may find that a particular setting is too low or too high for the results
you desire.
Multiple-power control gives you the means to obtain greater precision in setting power levels. For instance, if
you want a power level between ROAST and REHEAT, you would set the time as usual: touch POWER
CONTROL, and then touch "7" and "5". The display window will show "75", indicating that your oven is set to
run at power level 75--halfway between ROAST and REHEAT.
FAST DEFROST
Your oven is equipped with a Programmed Defrost system which is the best defrost method for this oven.
FAST DEFROST is explained in order to show other defrosting possibilities.
To speed up the defrosting of dense food items over i lb., start on "HI", then reduce to the 30 (DEFROST)
setting.
I. Microwave on "HI" for 1-2 minutes per pound of dense food items.
2. Then Microwave on 30 (DEFROST) for 3 minutes per pound or until food is thawed. Defrosting time will be
greatly reduced.
