SETTING THE POWER LEVEL

Variable power levels add flexibility to microwave cooking. Each power level gives you microwave energy a certain percent of the time, for example, Power Level 3 is microwave energy 30% of the time. Power Level 10 will cook faster but food may need more frequent stirring, rotating or turning over. A lower setting will cook more evenly and need less stirring or rotating 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 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 transfer heat to the inside of the food. An example of this is with the defrost cycle (Power Level 3). If the microwave energy did not cycle off, the outside of the food would cook before the inside was defrosted.

1.Press the Power Level button.

2.Turn the dial to select the power level.

3.Press the Start/+30 sec/Select button to enter.
