About changing the power level.
The power level may be entered or
changed immediately after entering the
time for Time Cook.
Press TIME COOK.
Enter cooking time.
Press POWER LEVEL.
Select desired power level 1–10.
Press START.
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 High which gives
you 100% power. ¤Æ¤Æ¤Ä ¤Æ¤Äpower level10 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:
High10: Fish, bacon, vegetables, boiling
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.
