Operating Instructions
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. Hi
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.
Power level Hi will cook faster
but food may need additional
attention such as frequent stirring,
rotating or turning over. Most of
your cooking will be done on Hi.
A lower setting will 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.
Rest periods (when the microwave
energy cycles off) give time for the
food to “equalize” or transfer heat
to the inside of the food.
Here are some examples of uses for
various power levels:
