VARIABLE POWER LEVELS (1-10)

How to Change Power Level

2.Select cooking or defrosting time.

3.Press POWER LEVEL.

4.Select desired power level 1-10.

5.Press START.

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

Variable power levels add flexibility to your microwave cooking. The power levels on your 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 and gives you 100% power. 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 may need additional attention such as frequent stirring, rotating or turning over. Most of your cooking will be done on High (Power Level 10). A lower setting wilt cook more evenly and with less attention given to stirring or rotating the food. Some foods may have better flavor, texture or appearance if one of the lower settings is used. You may wish to use a lower power level when cooking foods that have a tendency to boil over, such as scalloped potatoes.

High 10Fish, bacon, vegetables, boiling liquids.

Med-High 7Gentle cooking of meat and poultry; baking casseroles and reheating.

Medium 5Slow cooking and tenderizing such as stews and less tender

cuts of meat.

Low 3Defrosting without cooking; simmering; delicate sauces.

Warm 1Keeping food warm without overcooking; softening butter.

AUTOMATIC FAN FEATURE

This microwave oven has an automatic fan feature to protect it from too much heat rising from the cooktop

or range beneath it. It automatically turns on at a low speed if it senses too much heat.

If you have turned the fan on you may find that you cannot turn it off. This is because the automatic fan

has come on to protect the internal parts of the microwave.

The fan will automatically turn off when the internal parts are cool. It may stay on for 30 minutes or more after the range and microwave controls have been turned off.
