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:

vegetables, boiling
liquids.
