Power level is automatically set at 3,

but can be changed. To change the power levels, see the Microwave Power Level section. You can defrost small items quickly by raising the power level after entering the time. Power level 7 cuts the total defrosting time in about half; power level 10 cuts the total time to about 1/3. When defrosting at high power levels, food will need more frequent attention than usual.
