Microwave power levels

The 10 power levels available with this microwave will

help you to adjust to the power output best suited for the

food type you are preparing. As with any food

preparation in the microwave, it is best to follow the

microwave instructions that are printed on the food

packaging.

The table below provides suggested power levels for

various types of food that can be prepared in the

microwave.

Suggestions for best results

To help you achieve the best possible results from your

microwave oven, read the following suggestions below:

▯ Storage temperature

Foods taken from the freezer or refrigerator take

longer to cook.

▯ Size

Small pieces of food cook faster than large ones.

Pieces similar in size and shape will cook more evenly

when cooked together. For more even results, reduce

the power levels when cooking large pieces of food.

▯ Natural moisture

Very moist foods cook more evenly because

microwave energy heats water molecules very

efficiently.

▯ Stirring

Stir foods such as casseroles and vegetables from the

outside to the center to distribute the heat more

evenly. This will allow the food to cook faster.

(Constant stirring is not necessary.)

▯ Turning

Turn over foods such as pork chops, roasts or whole

cauliflower halfway through the cook time. This will

help to expose all sides equally to microwave energy.

▯ Placing food

Place delicate areas of food items, such as asparagus

tips, toward the center of the turntable tray.

▯ Arranging food

Arrange unevenly shaped foods, such as chicken

pieces or salmon, with the thicker or meatier parts

toward the outside of the turntable tray.

▯ Letting food stand

After removing the food from the microwave, cover the

food with foil or a casserole lid and let it stand to finish

cooking. This will help the food finish cooking in the

center and avoids overcooking the outer edges. The

length of stand time depends on the density and

surface area of the food items.

▯ Wrapping foods

Sandwiches and many other food types containing

pre-baked bread should be wrapped in paper towels

or wax paper prior to placing in the microwave to help

prevent the food items from drying out while heating.

Adding cook time (ADD 30 SECONDS)

This time-saving feature will let you quickly add

30 seconds to any cook time. ADD 30 SECONDS will

also start the microwave with 30 seconds at 100% power

level. Each time you touch the ADD 30 SECONDS key,

30 seconds will be added to the cook time.
