Power level is automatically set at 3, 
but can be changed. To change the 
power levels, see the Microwave Power 
Level(s) section. 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 about 1/3. When 
defrosting at high power levels, food 
will need more frequent attention 
than usual.
