Changing the

Power Levels

How to Change

the Power Level

The power level is lowered

from the default 100% (PL10)

by touching “POWER”.

Variable power levels add

microwave flexibility to

microwave cooking. The power

level on the microwave oven

can be compared to the sur-

face units on a range. The

power level of 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 stir-

ring, 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 rotat-

ing of the food. Some foods

may have better flavor, texture

or appearance if one of the

lower settings is used. Use a

lower power level when cook-

ing 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 (100%) Fish, bacon,

(PL10) vegetables,

boiling liquids.

Med-High 7-9 Gentle cooking

(70-90%) of meat and

poultry; baking

casseroles

and reheating.

Medium 5-6 Slow cooking

(50-60%) and tenderizing

such as stews

and less tender

cuts of meat.

Low 3-4 Defrosting

(30-40%) without cooking;

simmering;

delicate sauces.

Warm 1-2 Keeping food

(10-20%) warm without

overcooking;

softening butter.

SINGLE STAGE Cooking:

1. Touch “POWER”.

2. Continue to touch

“POWER”to lower

the power level until the

desired power level is

displayed (see table below).

3. Enter cooking time.

4. Touch “START/+30Sec.”.

MULTI-STAGE Cooking:

1. Repeat above steps 1-3 for

up to 2 separate cooking

stages.

2. Touch “START/+30Sec.”.

You can pause or cancel a cooking operation at any time by touching “STOP/Clear” or opening

the microwave door.

to the display (“0:00” if the clock is not set).

If the cooking time is an interval of 30 seconds (e.g. 1 min., or 1

min. and 30 sec., 2 min., etc.) you can instantly start to cook

using this method. See also “If more cooking time is

needed...” below. If the recipe requires a lowered cooking power

level, or the recommended cooking time is not an interval of 30

seconds, see One and Two-Stage Cooking below.

1. Touch “START/+30Sec.”

pad for 30 seconds of

cooking. Microwave

instantly begins cooking.

This method is ideal for recipes that require a reduced cooking

power level, or meals with special cooking times (i.e., not in

intervals of 30 seconds as in “Quick Cooking”.).

1 Touch the “POWER” pad. PL10 appears on the

display.

2 Each additional touch of the “POWER” pad will reduce

the power by 10%. For more information on power levels,

see section ‘Power Levels’. To use default power simply

move on to step 3.

3 Enter the cooking time by touching the corresponding

numbers on

the number pad (e.g.

and

4 For Two-Stage Cooking, repeat steps 1 to 3 and then

continue to step 5.

5 Touch the “START/+30Sec.” pad. Cooking time will begin

to countdown until it reaches zero (“:00” on the

display). The oven will then resume showing the time (if

set) and sound five beeps.

If more cooking time is needed…

At any time and for any operation, even while the oven is cooking, touching the

“START/+30Sec.” pad adds 30 more seconds of cooking time each time the pad is pressed.

Note: The added cooking time will use the same power level that is currently being used by

the microwave. For example, if the Power Level is currently set to 50% (“PL5” on the

display), then the added cooking time will use a Power Level of 50%.

Touch “STOP/Clear” , a single beep is heard, microwave countdown stops.

Touch “STOP/Clear” twice (two beeps should be heard), the clock returns
