OOKING AT DIFFERENT COOK POWERS
For best results, some recipes call for different cook
powers. The lower the cook power, the slower the
cooking. Each Number pad also stands for a
different percentage of cook power. Many
microwave cookbook recipes tell you by number,
percent, or name which cook power to use.
COOK POWER
10 = 100% of full power
(automatic)
9 = 90% of full power
8 = 80% of full power
