COOKING AT DIFFERENT COOK POWERS
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.
For best results, some recipes call for different cook
powers. The lower the cook power, the slower the
cooking. Each Number pad also stands for a different
percentage of cook power. Many microwave
cookbook recipes tell you by number, percent, or
name which cook power to use.
NOTE: Once cook time has been entered you can also use the COOK POWER pad as a second Minute Timer
by entering “0” for the cook power. The oven will count down the cooking time you set without cooking.
