CHANGING

THE POWER

LEVELS

SINGLE

STAGE Cooking:

1. Touch POWER

2. Continue to touch

POWER to lower

power level until

desired power level

is displayed (see

table 1 below).

3. Enter cook time.

4. Touch

START/+30Sec.

MULTI-STAGE

Cooking:

1. Repeat steps 1-3

above for up to 2

separate cooking

stages.

2. Touch

START/+30Sec

How to Chance the Power Level:

The power level is lowered from the default 100%

(PL10) by touching POWER.

Variable power levels add microwave flexibilty to

microwave cooking. The power level on the microwave

oven can be compared to the surface units on a range.

The power level PL10 is 100% (or full) power, and this

is the fastest way to cook. Each power level gives you

microwave energy a certain percent of the time. PL7

(power level 7) is microwave energy 70% of the time.

Power level 3 is energy 30% of the time. At the default

setting (High) food will cook faster but it may need more

frequent stirring, rotating, or turning over. Most cooking

will be done on default (High/PL10). A lower setting will

cook more evenly and need less stirring or rotating of

food. Some foods may have a better flavor, texture, or

appearance if a lower setting is used. Use a lower

power level when cooking foods that have a 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 levels:

Power Level Best Uses

Default PL10 Fish, bacon, vegetables,

(100%) boiling liquids.

Med-High 7-9 Gentle cooking of meats and poultry;

(70-90%) baking casseroles and reheating.

Low 3-4 Defrost without cooking; simmering;

(30-40%) delicate sauces.

Warm 1-2 Keeping food warm without overcooking;

(10-20%) softening butter.
