Setting Cooking Times & Power Levels
Your microwave allows you to set up to two different stages of cooking,
each with its own time and power level. The power level lets you control
the heating intensity from Warm (1) to High (0).
One-stage Cooking
For simple one-stage cooking, you only need to set a cooking time. The
power level is automatically set at High. If you want the power set at any
other level, you must use the Power Level button.
Use the Number buttons to set a cooking time. You can set a
time from one second to 99 minutes, 99 seconds. To set a time
over one minute, enter the seconds as well. For example, to set
20 minutes, enter 2, 0, 0, 0.
