Cooking Tips
Your oven uses microwave energy to cook by a set time or weight, or automatically by sensor.
Sensor microwave works by detecting the increasing humidity released during cooking.
The oven automatically adjusts the cooking time to various types and amounts of food.
Using the Dial
You can make selections on the oven by turning the dial
and pressing it to enter the selection.
Pressing the dial can also be used in place of the

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 (power level
10) which gives you 100% power. Power level 10 will

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.

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.
