Operating Instructions

Changing the

Power Levels

Variable power levels add

microwave flexibility to

microwave cooking. The power

level on the microwave oven can

be compared to the surface units

on a range. High(power level

10)or full power is the fastest way

to cook. Each power level gives

you microwave energy a certain

percent of the time . Power level 7

is microwave energy 70% of the

time. Power level 3 is energy 30%

of the time. A high setting (10)will

cook faster but food may need

more frequent stirring, rotating or

turning over. Most cooking will be

done on High (power 10). A lower

setting will cook more evenly and

need less stirring or rotating of the

food. Some foods may have better

flavor, texture or appearance if

one of the lower setting is used.

Use a lower power level when

cooking foods that have tendency

to boil over, such as scalloped

potatoes. Rest periods (when the

microwave energy cycles off) give

time for the food to “equalize” or

transfer heat to the inside of the

food. An example of this is shown

with power level 3-the defrost

cycle. If microwave energy did

not cycle off, the outside of the

food would cook before the inside

was defrosted.

Here are some examples of uses

for various power level:
