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 70 is microwave
energy 70% of the time. Power Level
30 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. An example
of this is shown with Power Level 30—
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:
Power Level Best Uses
Hi Fish, bacon,
vegetables, boiling
liquids.
Med-High Gentle cooking of
70 meat and poultry;

and reheating.
Medium 50 Slow cooking and
tenderizing such as
stews and less tender
cuts of meat.
Low 30 Defrosting without
cooking; simmering;
delicate sauces.
Warm 10 Keeping food warm
without overcooking;
softening butter.
