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. HIGH (Power Level 10) 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
7090 of the time. Power Level 3 is
energy
3090 of the time.
A high setting (10) will cook faster but may need
additionti attention such as frequent stirring, rotating
or turning over. Most of your cooking will be done
on
HGH (Power Level 10). A lower setting will cook
more evenly
ad 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.

with Power Level 3—the defrost cycle. If ticrowave
