Setting Cooking Times & Power Levels

Your microwave allows you to set up to two different stages of cooking, each with its own time length and power level. The power level button lets you control the heating intensity from Warm (1) to High (0).

One-stage Cooking

For simple one-stage cooking, you only need to set a cooking time. The power level is automatically set to High. If you want to set the power to any other level, you must set it using the Power Level button.

1 Use the number buttons to set a cooking time. You can set a time from one second to 99 minutes, 99 seconds. To set a time over one minute, enter the seconds too. For example, to set 20 minutes, enter 2, 0, 0, 0 .

2 If you want to set the power level to something other than High, press the Power Level button, then use the number buttons to enter a power level.
