Changing
Power Levels
The power level may be entered or
changed immediately after entering the
feature time for TIME COOKor TIME
DEFROST. The powerlevel may also be
changedduring timecountdown.
Variable power levels add flexibility to
microwave cooking. The power levelson
the microwave oven can be compared to
the surface units on a range. Power level
10 or full power is the fastest way to cook
and gives you 100% power. Each power
levelgives you microwave energy a
certain percent of the time. Power level 7 is
microwave energy 70% of the time. Power
level 3 is energy 30% of the time.
A high setting will cook faster but food
may need more frequent stirring, rotating
or turning over. Most cooking will be done
on power level 10.A lower setting will cook
more evenly and need lessstirring or
rotating of the food.
Some foods may hove better flavor, texture
or appearance if one of the lower settings
is used. Use a lower power levelwhen
cooking foods that hove a tendency to boil
over, such as scolloped potatoes.
Rest periods (when the microwave energy
cycles off) give time for the food to
"equalize" or transfer heat to the inside of
the food. An example of this is shown with
power level3-the defrost cycle. If
microwave energy did not cycle off, the
outside of the food would cook before the
inside was defrosted.
Here are some examples of uses for
various power levels:
