Power level is automatically set at 3,
but can be changed. To change the power
levels, see the Microwave Power Level
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.
