Power Level
Cooking Guide
The power levels on your microwave oven can be com-
pared to the surface units on a range. HIGH (power level
10) or full power is the fastest way to cook and gives you
100% power.
Each power level gives you microwave energy for a cer-
tain percent of time, for example, power level 7 is
microwave energy 70% of the time. Most of your cooking
will be done on HIGH (Power Level 10). A lower setting
will cook more evenly and with less attention given to stir-
ring or rotating the food. Some foods may have better fla-
vor, texture or appearance if one of the lower settings is
used. You may wish to use a lower power level when
cooking foods that have a tendency to boil over, such as
scalloped potatoes.
