The power level may be entered or changed immediately
after entering the cooking time.
Enter cooking time.
Press Power Level.
Select desired power level 1–10.
Press Start.
Variable power levels add flexibility to microwave cooking.
The power levels on the microwave oven can be
compared to the surface units on a range. 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. Most cooking will
be done on High (power level 10) which gives you 100%
power. 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 “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:
High 10: Fish, bacon, vegetables, boiling liquids.
Med-High 7: Gentle cooking of meat and poultry;
baking casseroles and reheating.
Medium 5: Slow cooking and tenderizing for stews and
less tender cuts of meat.
Low 2 or 3: Defrosting; simmering; delicate sauces.
Warm 1: Keeping food warm; softening butter.
