POWER LEVEL
The power level may be entered or changed immediately after entering the feature time for Cook Time the power level
may also be changed during the cooking.
1. Press Cook Time and enter cooking time.
2. Press the Power Level button and select power level
1-10.
3. Press the Start/Pause button to start cooking.
Variable power levels add flexibility to microwave cooking.
The power levels on the microwave oven can be compared
to the surface units on a range. 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. Most cooking will be done on
Power level 10 which gives you 100% power.
Power Level 10 will cook faster but food may need more
frequent stirring, rotating or turning over. A lower setting
will cook more evenly and need less stirring or rotating of
the food.
Some foods may have better flavor, texture or appearance
if one of the lower settings is used. 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
3—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 10: Fish, bacon, vegetables, heating liquids.
Med-High 7: Gentle cooking of meat and poultry; baking
casseroles and reheating.
Medium 5: Slow cooking and tenderizing for stews and
less tender cuts of meat.
Low 2 or 3: Defrosting; simmering; delicate sauces.
Warm 1: Keeping food warm; softening butter.

WEIGHT DEFROST
Weight defrost automatically sets the defrosting times and
power levels to give even defrosting results for meats, poultry
and fish weighing up to six pounds.
1. Press Defrost (display must show Weight Defrost).
2. Using the conversion guide, enter food weight. For
example, press pads 1 and 2 for 1.2 pounds (1 pound,
3 ounces).
3. Press Start/Pause.
There is a cooking guide located on the inside front of the
oven.
●Remove meat from package and place on microwave-
safe dish.
●When the oven signals, turn the food over. Remove
defrosted meat or shield warm areas with small pieces of
foil.
●After defrosting, most meats need to stand 5 minutes to
complete defrosting. Large roasts should stand for about
30 minutes.
TIME DEFROST
Time Defrost allows you to defrost for a selected length of time. See the Defrosting Guide for suggested
times.
1. Press Defrost twice (display must show Time Defrost).
2. Enter defrosting time.
3. Press Start/Pause.
When the oven signals, turn food over and break apart
or rearrange pieces for more even defrosting. Shield
any warm areas with small pieces of foil. The oven will
continue to defrost if you don’t open the door and turn the
food.
Power level is automatically set at 3, but can be changed.
You can defrost small items quickly by raising the power
level after entering the time. Power level 7 cuts the total
defrosting time in about half; power level 10 cuts the total
time to approximately 1/3. However, food will need more
frequent attention than usual.
A dull thumping noise may be heard during defrosting. This
is normal when oven is not operating at High power.
Defrosting Tips
• Foods frozen in paper or plastic can be defrosted in
the package. Closed packages should be slit, pierced
or vented AFTER food has partially defrosted. Plastic
storage containers should be partially uncovered.
• Family-size, prepackaged frozen dinners can be
defrosted and microwaved. If the food is in a foil
container, transfer it to a microwave-safe dish.
• For more even defrosting of larger foods, such as roasts,
use Defrost Weight. Be sure large meats are completely
defrosted before cooking.
• Foods that spoil easily should not be allowed to sit out for
more than one hour after defrosting. Room temperature
promotes the growth of harmful bacteria.
•When defrosted, food should be cool but softened in all
areas. If still slightly icy, return to the microwave very
briefly, or let it stand for a few minutes.

OTHER FEATURES

COVERING
Covers hold in moisture, allow for more even heating and
reduce cooking time.
Venting plastic wrap or covering with wax paper allows
excess steam to escape.
STANDING TIME
When you cook with regular ovens, foods such
as roasts or cakes are allowed to stand to finish cooking or
to set.
Standing time is especially important in microwave
cooking. Note that a microwaved cake is not placed on a
cooling rack.
VENTING
After covering a dish with plastic wrap, you vent the plastic
wrap by turning back one corner so excess steam can
escape.
SHIELDING
In a regular oven, you shield chicken breasts or baked
foods to prevent over-browning. When microwaving, you
use small strips of foil to shield thin parts, such as the tips
of wings and legs on poultry, which would cook before
larger parts.
ARCING
Arcing is the microwave term for sparks in the oven. Arcing is caused by:
■Metal or foil touching the side of the oven.
■Foil that is not molded to food (upturned edges act like
antennas).
■Metal such as twist-ties, poultry pins, gold-rimmed
dishes.
■Recycled paper towels containing small metal pieces.
■Plates or dishes with a metallic trim or glaze with a
metallic sheen.
